Sounds like you've answered your own question.

For me the upgrade was a no-brainer, but then my use case (4K HDR 120fps and/or VR max resolution) demanded it. We have no idea what you do with your 6950 it's pretty hard to offer a recommendation. If you play Rocket League and Solitaire then stick with your RDNA2 card.

+/-35% difference depending on a game and you make it sound its HD 6950 from 2010 barely able to run any modern games at acceptable levels.

You do you bro, no one is holding a gun to your head.
I surmised originally, you have clearly already made up your mind to not upgrade so I'm not even sure why you're still asking the question.

FWIW 35% at 4K is a MASSIVE uplift. That's 90fps to 120+fps.

If you use VR you know what that means, clearly you don't.

RDNA3 also overclocks like crazy, I've put a 550W bios on and watercool... so add another 12-20% on top of that 35%.

Nice and fair comparison bro, you're assuming most people are flashing their cards? 6950 cannot be tweaked?

I got side tracked on refills, decided to up the memory from normal and run the 20 loops on each switch position, all between refills. My bad.

power maximum are just spikes biggest i had where 620-728w, look at sustained those are max W at given clock

with that cpu you don't need anything above 2500Mhz you're just wasting power and generating heat

also make you MIN clock 100Mhz lower than MAX it will improve stability, and disregard comments that say that counts only for RDNA2 and that it will increase power usage, both are false



you have Samsung VRAM yes ? and 2760Mhz is stable in games without artifacts and crashes ?
with old bios my max stable Samsung VRAM was 2722MHz fast timings @1150mV, i think with better cpu you wont be able to that high either

I can run 2700 in D4 but D4 itself is a buggy mess, teleport to desktop ect. I think it is with cross platform players. Ran solo last night np.

Waiting to see if new mobos bring anything worth while, may grab x670e while they are cheap though from what I've read so far, USB4 I have no need for.

Don't strawman me bro. Where did I "assume" most people are flashing their cards? Oh yeah, I didn't.

I'm just stating fact. IF you chose to, you can get extra performance from RDNA3, above and beyond what normal reviews and websites report at stock settings.

I literally don't give a flying Fruitloop TM about whether this other random guy upgrades or not, but to pretend that a 6950XT to 7900XTX upgrade isn't significant is just fudggin ignorant.

Honestly my rig has been mostly 'build in progress' for over a year now. but I play HOTS while recording with OBS and streaming to both twitch and discord at the same time (nobody watches I just do it.)

I also enjoyed upscaling with topaz AI, but the last time I tried it was overheating because the hot spot temp got 110c after half an hour running it. I tried repasting from LM to PK-3, now I have a honeywell pad on there that I have yet to try.

I had a 6900 XT I got at launch and upgraded to a 7900 XTX at launch also and yes the 7900 XTX is an upgrade.

Any advantage to lower memory temps? I have thermal putty u8 and wondering if it's worth the effort and possible resale value to use it on my nitro xtx

if its hot yes, if not, no

Hi all i have chip 25q16jwnjo today i flashed the bios for the second time and got the same white diode on the motherboard, the card 7900 xtx taichi White does not work on the flashed bios. I am using neo programmer. When switching to quiet bios everything works, I need advice which will work.

I have the same card and I did not even try to flash because bios reads for backup had different check sums every time I red the rom so test your connection, I am still divided on what to do, order a new programmer, or sink some time to check if it is possible to decompile amdvbflash and yolo past hardware id check.

Steel Nomad is definitely related to memory in some regard. Fast timings disabled, enabled, ect, raising ram kept increasing score.

Then I hit the mother load and broke 8K on a Piledriver no less.

Best first.

Can you guys do me a favor and either visually or via export
Code: 
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Rectangle Font Parallel Screenshot Number

Dump me your current registry of the plugged in GPU ~ as .reg ?
It does not contain personal information or identifiers.
Just the GPU name, the driver version, and what it loaded

The Reg-file layout will do.
Please ~ thank you :)

It's supposed to hence the flash tool...I had to erase my old one to flash the new one...it took me weeks of fiddling...eventually it worked using a really old laptop instead of a new PC with USB 3.0
