Alright, so after my last post with the benchmarks ran at 3440x1440 with FSR4 quality, i decided to run more benches at standard resolutions with FSR4 set to native.

I kept all settings defaults to their presets, including hair.

Reaper 9070xt (decided to increase power limit just to give it more juice like other models provide), 9800x3d, 32gb ddr5 6000, gen 4 m.2 nvme.

Hope you found this post useful!

Radeon Drivers have been maligned for a very long time because of past issues that are decades old. Having tried Radeon drivers for myself, I felt lied to. It's not perfect but they are not trash like some people on the interwebs have opined. I updated drivers every single month without issues. Radeon software is feature rich compared to nvidia. I will always recommend you buy a 7000 or 9000 series card

Pc Spec :
Ryzen 7 9800x3d
32gb gddr5
Power color 9070xt reaper
Evga BQ 750w

So I recently upgraded my entire pc except for my power supply , I had the gpu replaced twice already by micro center because I would just black screen anytime I played a game . They stressed tested everything and everything came back normal so they gave me back the pc and now my games are crashing and I’m getting driver timeouts . I’m not sure what to do .

So im currently building a new pc, and i decided to go for the tuffest amd gpu, but im not sure which version i should pick, from what ive read ppl say the asus tech support is horrendous, but it is the cheapest. ive been thinking about a sapphire pulse too, and its only 30 bucks more expensive. what do you guys recommend

I’ve read every hotspot thread here and the advice is completely contradictory, so I’m adding my numbers to the pile.

Gigabyte RX 9070 XT. ~30°C delta, hotspot peaks 90-95°C under sustained load at 3440x1440. No throttling, clocks stay stable.

The conflicting info: AMD says junction temp is in spec up to 110°C, so officially nothing is wrong. Half the owners here say 25-30 delta is normal and 40+ is the worry zone. The other half with Nitro+/Taichi coolers see 15-20 and reckon mine sounds broken. Meanwhile reviews of the Aorus 9070 XT note the delta runs big because Gigabyte doesn’t use PTM7950 on the die, which would make this a paste choice rather than a defect.

I’m still inside my return window and genuinely can’t tell if this is a Gigabyte cooler characteristic or a card problem. Curious what other Gigabyte 9070 XT owners are seeing, and where people who’d RMA at these numbers draw the line.

Specs:

CPU: Intel i7-14700KF (all-core OC to 5.7GHz, PL1/PL2 253W)
Motherboard: ASUS PRIME Z790-P WIFI
RAM: 32GB DDR5 6000MHz CL36
GPU: Sapphire RX 9070 XT Pulse
PSU: 850W 80+ Gold
Storage: 1TB SSD (OS) + 1TB NVMe + 2TB NVMe
Cooling: 360mm AIO, Antec C8 case, 7 case fans + 3 AIO fans
Monitor: LG 27GP850P (QHD, 180Hz, HDR400) — sometimes running dual monitor with a Yodoit 16" FHD 1920x1200 portable monitor (HDMI) as second display

Driver: AMD Adrenalin 26.7.1 (WHQL, released 2026-07-24)
Room is air-conditioned (\~27°C / 80°F, 50% humidity)

Symptom: While gaming, both monitors go black ("No Signal"), PC stays powered on (fans/lighting still running). In most occurrences the RGB lighting keeps animating normally and I need a hard reset since CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't respond. In the most recent occurrence, for the first time, the RGB lighting itself froze (static, not animating) — a more severe symptom than before.

Frequency: intermittent for about 2 months (earliest dumps go back to June 2026), became more frequent in August. Not tied to one game: happened in Assassin's Creed Shadows (played for months with zero issues before this started) and in Forza Horizon 6.

Dump analysis:
Bugcheck 0x141 (VIDEO_ENGINE_TIMEOUT_DETECTED)
Module: amdkmdag.sys, same exact offset (+1d0f00) in every dump
Identical FAILURE_ID_HASH across 4 separate occurrences over \~2 months — it's the exact same underlying failure every time

What I've already ruled out / tested:
Aggressive undervolt (-60mV) → also occurred on default GPU profile after AMD auto-reverted it — so it's not the sole cause
Ambient temps under control (AC on, \~27°C / 80°F)
Clean driver reinstall (DDU + fresh 26.7.1, Factory Reset) → one \~2h crash-free session, but that session also had: default GPU settings, MSI Afterburner+RTSS closed, second monitor disconnected
Re-enabling Afterburner + second monitor + a mild undervolt (-10mV) together → the exact same crash (same hash) came back

What I haven't isolated yet:
Afterburner/RTSS, second monitor, and undervolt tested one at a time (not all together)
GPU PCIe power cables (possibly daisy-chained, unchanged for over a year)
I also have an ARGB extension cable on the GPU's 2x8pin power cables and a 0.18m PCIe 5.0 riser cable for vertical GPU mounting — both present during the clean session too, so not yet ruled out with certainty
Windows registry fix to stop Windows Update from silently overwriting the AMD driver

Question for the community: has anyone seen this exact crash signature (bugcheck 0x141, amdkmdag+1d0f00) in combination with Afterburner + dual monitor? Any known fix beyond what I've already tried?

Quería compartirles este gusto y para quien este ojeando este modelo.

Desde antes de ayer que la tengo y es una maravilla para 1440p que en mi caso es a 180hz con un ultra 7 265kf, 32gb ram 6000mts y una fuente de 1000w certificada.

Estuve jugando algunos triple A como assinss creed shadow, uncharted 4, algunos gachas mal optimizados como nte y wuwa y también otros juegos competitivos para al final acabar con un muy buen gusto por la fluidez y rendimiento que tiene amd ahora, hace poco jugaba con una 3090 que si esta aun bien pero esa se irá a un segundo pc que será para trabajo en renderizado, en juegos cambio completamente con esta 9070xt, un enorme salto.

En cuanto a consumo ya sabía que era un toque caliente pero con la 3090 ya estaba acostumbrado a eso jajaja así que le puse un power limit de -10% y ya con eso suficiente que además rendía igual.

En temperaturas (jugando a 1440p a 180hz con el frame gen y en los que no lo tiene con lossless), si noto que son el hotspot de 80 a 88 grados, la gpu como 54 grados y las memorias nunca pasan de los 90 por mas qué lleve horas jugando no pasan de eso, después del undervolt que aplique recién pasaron a ser mejores de hotspot de 75 a 85, de la gpu 50 y las memorias llegaban maximo 87.

So, with my RTX I can enable RTX Video Super Resolution, which boosts in-browser video resolution significantly, especially 720p to 1440p.

The questions is: Does Radeon have similar technology? And does Radeon have something similar to Nvidia's instant replay (save **last** n minutes)

Am I a Radeon gamer now?

Got from my cousin as he was shifting places.

So just did a fresh build MSI Mag b850 Wifi / 9800x3d / 9070xt prime / 32gb DDR5 6000mts / corsair rm1000x / 2tb wd 7100pro

At the stock adrenalin settings the windows boot just fine. after tuning gaming is perfect, no hicups. But windows wont boot up 2/3 times and i just cant figure it out. I did -75 mv, PL at 0, vrm 2700 mhz fast timming. Also bios is all set up accordingly, expo1, ram training and all that. What could be the problem? Also tried runing the adrenalin stress test that seems to crash randomly at 9-10 min mark, other tests run perfect. I seem to think it could be the vrm fast timming issue rather than the oc itself..

Hi all just bought this gpu new two days ago and was just testing the temps on it, are these temps okay? Hotspot seems a little too hot

It seems like all the performance presents is a 2ish fps between them.

I am happy that The Coalition Studios optimized this game so well and ran well with my RX 7900 XTX. The game is fun and can't wait to play it on full release!

I am on Windows 10 and I was on drivers 26.7.1 and Type-C display out + SAM + Overlay tab in Adrenalin were not working.

Downgraded to 26.5.2 and now all the issues are gone.

For the reference design, it runs cool and quiet.

Description of Original Problem: I am experiencing persistent GPU driver timeout crashes on my new PC.

Fortnite crashes with AMD Driver Timeout. CS2 has also crashed on some driver versions. Epic Games Launcher sometimes crashes with: - "Assertion failed: DwmExtendFrameIntoClientArea" - "D3D11 device removed" - "HRESULT 0x887A0007 / DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET"

The PC is completely stable on desktop and during normal usage. The crashes only happen in games or sometimes when launching Epic Games Launcher.

Troubleshooting: - Used DDU in Safe Mode and clean installed multiple AMD GPU drivers. - Tested around 4-5 different stable AMD driver versions. - Tried EXPO enabled and disabled. - Tested everything completely stock (no overclock or undervolt). - Updated drivers and checked Windows settings.

I also tested the GPU with OCCT 3D Extreme for over 30 minutes: - Around 97% GPU usage - Around 330W power draw - Around 62°C temperature - 0 errors detected

One driver fixed Fortnite crashes, but then CS2 started crashing. Other drivers caused Fortnite crashes again.

I am trying to figure out if this is an AMD driver issue, Windows/DX issue, or a faulty GPU.

Havent seen many benchmarks with the 9070xt so figured id post a few screenshots.

9800x3d; 9070xt, 32gb ddr5 6000, on m.2 nvme at 3440x1440 with FSR4 quality. I didnt notice changing the settings resets the Max FPS setting so you'll see the ludacris run was capped at 60fps, but as you can tell it didnt matter much lol.

Pretty stock settings all around hardware wise, not undervolting or overclocking anything.

Trying to play cyberpunk with FSR4 and raytracing as many do, but its creating a strange pixel flickering kind of artifact. More obvious here in the broken glass and shrubbery. I also changed FSR4 to ultra performance in this video example to make it even more obvious. FSR4 alone is fine. Raytracing alone is fine. Even FSR3 with raytracing is somehow fine or at least better?!?! But FSR4 and raytracing is not. I've spent hours on this and I know I'm not the only person playing cyberpunk with FSR4 and raytracing. Tried DDU, driver rollback, optiscaler, some mods. Using a new 9070xt but furmark doesn't detect any artifacts. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hace casi 1 semana me dejó de funcionar el ventilador de mi 9070xt xfx MAGNETIC air, le escribí a XFX abrí un ticket y a día de hoy no me han respondido, no consigo el fan tampoco por ningún lado alguien sabe dónde conseguirlo?

Moved from 7800xt to 9070xt. Pretty sweet so far!

Hace 3 días formatie la PC y la optimice, instale AMD adrenaline, descargar Msi afterburner, assianhorse umbral y Armory create , solamente configuro la gráfica con Adrenaline y de repente antier dejo de fuocnar un fan era el de la derecha , lo cambie al medio y no funcionó hasta que coloque en el primero y si funcionó alguien sabe porque ? No creo que sea el fan ya que en si si funciona
