Ok. So just ran a occt at 1850/999. The test passed with no issues however fan ramped up pretty high withawith 82c core temp and power consumption was touching 200 watts.
Would this be expected with occt at 1v? Seems awfully high
OCCT is worst case scenario mate, it's all about stability with OCCT, it generates the most heat etc so, I wouldn't worry about it, I only use for stability purposes and temps. BTW, not sure what you mean, 1850/999, do you mean 1850 on the core? What was your ram clocked at? Also, what was your voltage? 1,000mv? That's very low...
When I was none water cooled, my 5700XT hit around 80C on core and 100-103c on the junction hot spots... so, that was running 2036 core/1900 mem
Anyone else looking to upgrade when the new gen cards drop? Ideally I'd like a 50%+ increase in performance with useable ray tracing for Cyberpunk 2077. I'm expecting after selling my 5700XT I'll still have to find a sizeable chunk of change. At most I might justify £500 on top of whatever I sell for but I don't think that will be sufficient.
Yeah, I've just watercooled my 5700cxt the first time, so in no rush, but if I see a significant and by significant I'm like you 50% improvement in raw performance i.e. a game that runs 100fps now runs at 150fps in silly terms, then I'll consider it. If this turns out to be a disappointment and big ole' navi turns out to be an iteration rather than a level jumper...
My worry is, I can't see the new Radeon outperforming the 2080TI... and then there's the price which has been discussed to death... the 5700XT's are a fantastic VFM purchase being in the £300's... if Big Navi turns out to be more than £599, then no way will I be buying so, hence because I think it will because it cane due to nVidia and their ridiculous pricing at the minute, I'll end up sticking with my 5700XT for longer than I first thought, which tbh is fine by me lol
