Amd radeon rx 5700
#Amd radeon rx 5700 driver
And so far, it seems as though AMD's new driver has indeed fixed that awful temperature problem. Since yesterday, then, I've been furiously retesting the RX 5700 XT to make sure everything's fine and dandy. But then AMD released a new driver yesterday morning and everything was right with the world again. Had AMD gone and shot themselves in the foot after all? What a terrible shame! Honestly, the subtitle of this review was almost going to be 'Too hot to handle'. No wonder it was throwing its hands up and turning itself off. But then it kept crashing, and crashing again, and when I looked at MSI Afterburner's temperature readings, my stomach did a terrible kind of flip-flop. It does, after all, get pretty toasty in my office. At first I put it down to the ludicrous summer heat. This will go down as the comeback to end all comebacks.īut then my PC started crashing part way through my benchmarks. Then when they announced their new Big Navi GPU would suddenly cost £380 / $399 instead of $449, I was flabbergasted. Even before AMD did their unexpected Navi price cut on Friday, I was always semi-confident that this supposed RTX 2070 rival would be able to hold its own against Nvidia's RTX Super competitor simply by virtue of already being a tiny bit cheaper. Not from a pricing point of view, you understand. Man alive, I was a bit worried about AMD's Radeon RX 5700 XT for a minute there.
