What do you mean? What's happening?

I manually made graphic test 1 and afterwards graphic test 2. Both passed. Do not know why the normal benchmark test keeps crashing. Whatever, what would you recommend as good settings for my setup ?

CPU: AMD Ryzen 3700X (Maybe I will upgrade the CPU to an Ryzen 5800X/5900X, not quiet sure. so far actually no trouble with the 3700X)
GPU: XFX Merc 319 6900XT Black Edition
RAM: GSkill Trident Z 4x8GB @3600MHz
PSU: Be Quiet SP11 Platinum 1000W

Mainly do gaming like Warzone, Cod, Fifa etc.

Epic! Only issue is the drivers isn't certified on 3DMark yet so it's not going onto the tables. :(
Had a quick run on my sons 6700XT yesterday:
AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT video card benchmark result - AMD Ryzen 7 3700X,ASRock B550 Phantom Gaming 4 (3dmark.com)
2750/2880/2150vram/+15% power.
I've got the score saved, so hopefully they approve the drivers and I can re-validate, it will suck if i can't as I could only get within 80 graphics points and 100 total points of that score on follow up runs.

That's a nightmare. Cold boot run maybe. I have a new 5950x in the cupboard just going to pick up a new board after doing some family visiting.

@JediFragger called it, 25K graphics score. Look at old mystic meg over there. :D

Maybe we can claim Timespy Extreme too with a few more driver improvements.

@Gibbo - This 6900 XT Toxic is fantastically fast, any chance you can approve my review on the OcuK website? :)

Tbf @LtMatt I was expecting it to hit that later this year and not so soon!! :eek:

edit - Seems even the 5000-series cards are getting performance bumps with these latest couple of drivers too, impressive.
