RX 5700 XT dropping frames.

oneoone · August 13, 2019

Hi,

So my RX5700 XT seem to be dropping a lot of frames and I can't seem to workout why. It seems to be very inconsistent. Sometimes it fine but other times to drops a hell of a lot. Not sure what info you guys need. I have not changed any settings the card runs at about 70c under full load EVGA 650 GQ PSU Ryzen 3700x

any ideas ?

If you need anymore info just let me know. Thanks for the help.

You could run afterburner and take a look at all the sensor data. Maybe you hit some limit (power or temp). The blower cooler is just bad and the 70c you say doesn’t tell the whole story. The junction temp can spike way above 100c (usually 15-20c hotter that edge temp) and reach thermal limit. That’s where the card starts downclocking. Check afterburner to verify that.

You could set the fan speed to 100% and see if things change.

It could also be a driver issue. They seem to be rather unreliable at the moment. So clean installation of the driver could help.
