rx5700xt crashing

[yung.vns]

I was trying to test out my card, including a couple undervolt profiles, because it is a second hand. I used the Kombustor streets test for about a total of 90 mins, which the pc crashed twice. now even on default setting the screen flickers with msi Kombustor Have I fucked up the card? I am really worried. please also tell me about your undervolt experience.

The 5700XT Drivers are relatively unstable. If your on the latest drivers, try backing down a revision.

Undervolting, has mixed results and really comes down the card. Some can under volt quite a bit, some cant really budge. It is kind of the same concept as overclocking. By undervolting your card, you want cause any damage however.

thanks for the reply. have you tried undervolting, if yes, what were yr results? 

and is Kombustor safe? did i fry something?

Kombuster wont hurt your card in any way.

Undervolting wont hurt your card.

My personal reference card cant handle any under volting thats worthwhile to me without becoming unstable at some point.

I don't know why people still use these GPU power virus application like Furmark/Kombuster/OCCT to test their card. Not all manufacturer spec their card for these unrealistic load.

would running it for about 2/ 3 hrs total destroyed my card?

It may be an "unrealistic" load, but if the card is being loaded heavily it is good for checking temps and stability of overclocks. As to manufacturers not specing their cards to work under this load, is irrelevant. If the card can't run stock under the heaviest load they built the card poorly and the customer is right to expect better. That's also like saying the 3600 isn't meant to be used in a server, but that doesn't mean it should suffer thermally under load.

so does that mean testing my card using things like 3d mark and Kombustor should be fine??

Well, the purpose of those programs is to stress the gpu and/or cpu. Running at stock speeds you should/will be fine. In your case undervolting shouldn't have caused an issue. Is it under warranty and does undervolting violate the warrenty conditions set by the manufacturer?

yes it is still under warranty. I think undervolting would be fine? but again MSI has weird reasons for rejecting warranty claims so......

i havent tried out the new drivers yet. have anyone tried them out? if no improvement i might have to return....
