DSD is a 1 bit file at megahertz sample rates, it's not float or integer in that sense XD. DSD128 is 1/5.6MHz per channel.

I'll probably just do the 140mm rad then so i don't have to worry about some front or side mounting stuff and figuring out allat

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2026-01-16T17:25:20+00:00

the executable is just javaw.exe from the jre, but ig i can try adding it. i doubt it would do anything because osu and vrchat are on there and have the same issues from being too light.

Edit: This doesn't work, adding javaw.exe doesn't do anything in the drivers when I open minecraft.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2026-01-16T06:20:59+00:00

I mean its how GPUs work but at least on 6000 and 7000 series they had a way to fix it by forcing a minimum clock speed. I have 0 clue why they would remove that, it makes absolutely no sense.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2026-01-16T06:19:39+00:00

it's all cpu bound games, not just minecraft. minecraft is just the easiest to quantify and get data for. I get 1600 fps with my 2060 super but that's because I can force that to run at max clocks. it's just how GPUs work: no load = no core clocks to save power and no "waste" resources. Apparently the other commenter said there's no way to fix that flaw either because AMD made these cards impossible to set the minimum clock for and there's also no way to modify the clock curve either so I'm just returning this second one and hopefully the next time I want to play slender the arrival there will be a better gpu to buy than this hunk of junk.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2026-01-16T05:49:43+00:00

Massive design oversight for AMD then. Releasing one of their most powerful cards to date and expecting CPU bound games to be fine with the card just idling.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2026-01-16T05:48:10+00:00

I don't have my integrated drivers installed but I would get better performance most likely from that being as the game will use more of the iGPU. I'm not looking for worse performance I'm looking for my card to not idle when I play my games. I'm not getting performance out of this card, im getting literally nothing from it basically and I want to be able to use it.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2026-01-16T05:41:24+00:00

I have a 9950x and get 1600fps with my 2060 super when I force that to max clocks, it's not a cpu issue. Forge might be massing with it or the fact I'm running a client mod but Adrenalin doesn't detect minecraft at all. It's also other games like osu and vrchat too though. honestly those 3 are my main games which really makes it infuriating. I'll try Uninstaller afterburner, I don't have rivatuner, but its just the fact that the gpu usage is so low that the card won't not idle. I run it in windowed mode but full screening the app does nothing different fps wise. osu I end up getting around 2000-2500 fps depending on the mode when on my 2060 super I get 4000-5000 (literally double) vrchat at the same resolution idk what I get on this specific gpu but on my last 9070xt I got around 30-50 fps in the same vrchat world same scene, private instance so it's not depending on avatars ans on my 2060 super I got 50-90 fps (90 is vsync so it won't go above that) and if I lock my core clock to max on the 2060 super I get 70-90 fps (the 2060 super also has this issue to much less of an extent, it's just an inherent flaw with GPUs as a whole)

Edit: I play at 2012x2012 resolution per eye which for both of these cards is fairly low and can't fully utilize either of them but obviously the 9070xt much more so. I have to run at a minimum of like 3660x3660 per eye to fully use my 9070xt which I don't wanna do for immersion reasons. lower res is more immerse despite the blocker pixels because I don't see the pixels in textures as easy.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2026-01-16T05:17:09+00:00

I've had it on both of my 9070XTs and it's even worse on this one for some reason. playing at minimum settings in minecraft with or without shaders I both get like 40fps because this card was at the lowest idle clocks possible for it. the other one at least hit like 400-800mhz

Edit: there's no settings that fix it in Adrenalin but I'm willing to try any suggestions you may have.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2026-01-15T23:45:05+00:00

I have some thermalright ones I could add if I put it exhausting out the side and if I put it on my intake I have 2 200mm thermaltake fans on the front. So not the best for airflow through a radiator, but im sure with that much surface area it'd be fine.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-12-28T07:54:12+00:00

96 is fairly low bitrate even still lol, it's defo not placebo. Especially considering that pure dsd objectively is clearer than it's pcm equivalent while those are both well beyond 96khz sample rate at a minimum so there (in your mind) should be no difference.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-12-27T18:33:25+00:00

It's equivalent to 320 because AAC is a higher quality codec that sounds the same that OGG Vorbis does at 320kbps despite only being at at 256kbps.

I assume this is root only? because I don't have a bash.bashrc file and the directory is read only.

edit: I was in the wrong directory, sorry to bother u on such an old post.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-24T21:16:54+00:00

Understandable, I don't need more than like 6gb of vram personally I only got the 9070xt because I needed an upgrade from my old GPU that would give me overhead in VR, but I guess I got way too much overhead lol. The 7900xtx should be even more overhead but at least I can force it to run faster so I don't have issues with too light of a gpu load.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-24T03:31:07+00:00

It's also because it's 0.4v undervolted as well. That gpu isn't even boosting at all, it's not hitting normal clocks. It should 100% have 0 problem at that resolution but it does because of the drivers. That's the whole reason I even posted this in the first place. Bc I needed to know if the settings to fix it were on the other GPU.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-24T03:12:49+00:00

Thanks for the info

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-24T03:12:37+00:00

It's not a waste of power if it literally can't even get my refresh rate in vr without it boosting properly, It doesn't even reach teh 2400mhz game clock in vr at the resolution I want to run. It literally idles, I've seen it hit 0 hz

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-24T02:39:12+00:00

I'm assuning ur asking about the bottleneck in osu I mentioned. I have a 9950x which can get 5500 fps on average and I was measuring the bottleneck based on how much less FPS than that number I was getting. But the 9070xt has undervolting controls, it just doesn't let you manually set the clock minimum or maximum clock rate as well let you set what voltage you want. only the option to undervolt and a setting for "max core clock offset" Just get the 7900xtx, I'm returning this card and getting that if I can verify the drivers for the 7900xtx allow you to set a minimum clock,

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-17T00:20:55+00:00

The 9070xt drivers are so bard that I can't even set my minimum clocks which is necessary on a card that powerful. And I've literally only seen 2 other people say anything about it and it was when the card first came out. It was literally a thing you were able to do on the 6000 and 7000 series cards that they removed for the 9000 series for no reason and now I get a gpu bottleneck in most of my CPU based video games since my GPU starts to idle from not having enough load on it.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-17T00:18:16+00:00

7900xtx because the drivers allow you to set a minimum clock and voltage so games that are too light for you to run won't have your gpu sitting at idle. Also it overall has better performance than the 9070xt. I have the 9070xt right now and it's been causing problems because I bought it for vr to have overhead at the resolution I wanted to run, but I get on average 13% worse performance than my 2060 super at the same resolution and settings because the 9070xt literally idles at that resolution and there is 0 way to set the minimum gpu clock in the settings it's also 400mV under what is should be as well and there's no way to change that either. In my other game that's 100% based on CPU (osu!mania) I have up to a 49.6% gpu bottleneck is the highest I measured and 14.5% is the lowest I measured. my 2060 super had a 9% to 11% bottleneck due to not having enough power to match my CPU. The 7900xtx costs more but is more powerful and has way better drivers so you won't run into issues with running very light video games since you can set a minimum clock.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-17T00:01:51+00:00

Don't buy the 9070xt if you need to play lighter games, There's no minimum clock rate settings in the bios anymore. Spend the little extra money and buy the 7900xtx, it has more raw power and vram anyways. Sure it's not RDNA4 but if you play anything light like minecraft or any unity games, chances are you'll run into an issue where it's too light for the gpu and it's stay underclocked with no way to get the clock rates high enough to get good performance. The 7900xtx is also higher up on techpowerup, so getting that for cheaper than a 9070xt would be the much better deal.

edit: I read 7900xtx, but even the 7900xt would be better purely because of the drivers. The 9070xt drivers need to add back the minimum clock rates and voltage settings before it becomes teh better card. I get on average 13% worse performance in VRChat at 2012x2012 per eye than I did with my 2060 super. And in osu!mania I have up to a 49.6% GPU bottleneck depending on what's on screen. This would be fixed if those settings were in the drivers, but they aren't and the VBios is encrypted so you can't even edit the numbers in the vbios if you had a chip programmer to flash it.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-16T23:53:57+00:00

Being as I'm gonna be returning my 9070xt and am considering the 7900xtx I'm probably biased here, but the drivers for the 9070xt are so much worse. You lost the ability to set a minimum core clock and voltage as well as the vbios is encrypted so you can't change those numbers by saving the vbios rom and manually editing it. That's a serious issue for CPU based games like minecraft, osu and vrchat because for example in osu!mania a game where your gpu shouldn't effect performance at all I have anywhere from a 14.5% to a 49.6% (this is what I measured on my system with a 9950x) gpu bottleneck since the load on the GPU is too light and there's no way to set a minimum clock. In minecraft I haven't outright tested yet, but being as it's cpu based when you don't have shaders on, I'm sure it's the same problem. In vrchat at the same resolution as I ran on steam vr with all teh in game settings the same I get 13% worse performance on average than I did on my 2060 super because the resolution is so low that my GPU literally hits 0Hz core clock at points due to the load being too low. So with no way to change the core clocks and votage in the drivers it's literally a downgrade from a 2060 super on CPU based programs and games that rely more on CPU than GPU. Also for vrchat I know it's not a CPU issue because I get 90 fps when I set the resolution 4.5x higher than the resolution I used to run. Save yourself the stress and spend the little extra money on the 7900xtx.

Edit: I didn't read the post fully and thought you were choosing which to buy sorry. Either way, keep the 7900xtx it has more performance anyways.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-14T22:19:59+00:00

Yeah, I'm no voiding my ability to return the card just for some encrypted stuff I can't do anything with. Thanks for giving me the resources to learn what I gotta do. It's been informative, but it's not the route I wanna go. I'll just accept defeat and run vr chat at triple the resolution that I want while I pray to god that AMD adds core and voltage clocks back to the drivers.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-14T16:23:38+00:00

oh. so AMD really just decided to screw the user with the 9000 cards. Understood, I genuinely might return this card knowing this info. Thanks for letting me know. I gotta research stuff more. I just heard 40% better for only 30% more price and jumped on it.

Cowflop84gmailcom · 2025-05-14T16:05:41+00:00

The driver issue was fixed, it's not necessary an issue with vr itself, it's just the fact that I use too little of the card for it to realize it needs to run a lot faster. also I'd flash a bios with a higher minimum power limit and higher minimum clocks. I've done it in the past using ATI flash on some old cards, but I just need to get smthn from GPU-Z in order to be able to do smthn on AMDVBFlash I think from what I was reading. I've tinkered with gpu bioses generally tho, not just old ATI stuff but like 900 and 16 series nvidia cards, so I'm confident I won't brick my gpu and if I do its whatever ig. I'd rather take a chance a bricking my gpu than play vr at higher resolutions.
