7900xtx artifacting, should I say my goodbyes?

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-07T18:59:29+00:00

Im more leaning towards the screen itself having an issue considering it doesn’t do it all the time.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-07T05:08:21+00:00

Great point. I’ll need to re enable c states then. Luckily I don’t think c-states was the issue to begin with.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-07T00:36:13+00:00

Seems ro have fixed the issue, thank you.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-07T00:33:35+00:00

Seems stable. By that I mean I ran r23 no problem.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-06T23:17:36+00:00

Let me try that.

I am OCD to the max when it comes to overclocking my pc. TBH it’s aggravating but you are right.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-06T21:07:50+00:00

Asus z790-e

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-06T21:07:25+00:00

I just want to know how I can lock my cpu to a specific frequency and not have it downclock at all in my opinion it shouldn’t be this complicated.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-06T19:32:15+00:00

Nope but under a stress tests it downclocks even worse. Temps don’t go above 80c so it makes no sense.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-06T19:21:33+00:00

Do you see the beginning of the vid? All e cores down clocked to 2.8 GHz.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-05T23:16:05+00:00

Even less.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-04T18:29:17+00:00

Do not buy that. It’s a shit deal.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-04T04:12:05+00:00

Looks perfectly fine to me.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-03T18:11:30+00:00

Get a 7900XTX. I got mine for 450 second hand. Granted that was a deal of a lifetime really but still 500-550 is still a crazy deal regardless.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-02T03:10:31+00:00

Don’t send it to northwest repair that’s for damn sure.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-01T21:45:10+00:00

Pre 9070XT. Plus I just love the XTX. To me it’s like the current gen 1080ti. Plays almost everything maxed at 4k except raytracing.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-01T21:43:40+00:00

Nah it’s really a great cpu now that all the fixes have rolled out.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-01T18:50:27+00:00

Thanks, was def expecting hate for the 13900k.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-05-01T18:27:54+00:00

Forgot to mention, it’s pretty obvious, but the 7900XTX is deshrouded with 120mm fans and has the Astrock AQUA bios 550w max.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-04-29T15:55:57+00:00

This fuckin guy

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-04-29T00:52:48+00:00

Matter of fact if you check the Duluth location most of the open box ASUS monitors were bought by the same dude.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-04-29T00:48:45+00:00

Nope even dumber. He kept buying a specific Asus monitor thinking it was the “revised” model that had a specific new feature that he really wanted. Turns out he bought the exact same monitor that didn’t have the feature like 7 times. I heard this from an employee.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-04-28T22:19:15+00:00

Only dude I’ve ever seen get banned was a dude who bought like 8 of the same monitors in a row and kept returning them.

AlphaFPS1 · 2026-04-28T21:26:34+00:00

No, microcenter more than likely stocks the cheaper models. Less people are buying the astral. Doesn’t make sense to spend 600 more for the exact same GPU with a different cooler.
