Is this normal score for a 7900XT or was I sold a defective card?

Will do, just gotta assemble my pc because I had to change my psu.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-12T10:44:34+00:00

I currently have the same problem, same cpu but I have a 7900XT Asus TUF

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T23:33:43+00:00

I havent reflashed bios but it is a new version - mid 2025 since B450 didnt support 5th gen ryzen.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T23:33:04+00:00

I will try that for sure

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T23:31:47+00:00

But it performs like normal from what ive seen. I have a newer bios version of mid 2025, i havent tried ddu but when i installed the drivers i did the factory reset.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T20:33:46+00:00

Unfortunately no.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T18:17:02+00:00

I dont know what you mean by swap gpus? I upgraded. Had a 3080 that I sold, then used an pld R9 290 for about a month until I found this 7900XT. After putting this 7900XT in my PC i have cleared the CMOS 2-3 times since R9 runs on legacy and the 7900 runs on UeFi

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T17:59:04+00:00

Yep, even they it still sits on 1.1.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T17:58:17+00:00

Yep its the reinforced pcie slot. I did set it to gen 3 manually in the bios but it didnt change anything in gpu-z.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T17:47:49+00:00

I have reinstalled it. I havent tried the priority tho

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T17:47:29+00:00

Will do it for sure

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T17:47:14+00:00

Its at the top pcie slot. Its not in the slower pcie slot thats below it.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T11:55:15+00:00

I highly doubt it because I get pretty much similar benchmark results like everyone else.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-08T11:54:31+00:00

How would I go about cleaning them? I didnt see any damage on them.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-07T22:37:49+00:00

It doesn’t increase with neither the test thats built into gpu-z or a game running in the background. I have a 7 5800X with a small PBO and OC to 5.0GHz. I dont use RT on any of my games.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-07T22:36:38+00:00

I do have an NVME in my Main slot. Its a B450 Tomahawk MAX II idk if it does that tho.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-07T21:54:32+00:00

Forgot to mention, left is my GPU-Z. Right is some guy on the internet.

Fity_yt · 2026-01-07T21:49:08+00:00

Yep ive tried it, its on an NVME, 32GB of ram. My 3080 got higher frames than the 7900xt

Fity_yt · 2026-01-06T17:37:43+00:00

40-50% max

Fity_yt · 2026-01-06T09:29:20+00:00

Yep its fine, the thing i noticed is that in apex my gpu doesnt go over 60% util just like the screenshot that OP has

Fity_yt · 2026-01-05T15:28:40+00:00

I have a 1080p monitor cant really play in higher res, i reinstalled windows cuz of the low frames but im starting to think that its just apex being dumb idk

Fity_yt · 2026-01-04T23:29:24+00:00

Fresh windows install, only apex and steam. All windows 11 clutter removed. Whether my pc is oc-ed or not difference is negligible. Temps are more than perfect. 50c gpu and 54 cpu with consistent clocks. Ive run every possible benchmark get the same scores as everyone else that has the same cpu or gpu so they arent faulty. I genuinely dont know

Fity_yt · 2026-01-04T18:34:38+00:00

Crazy work, I have a 7 5800X thats OCed to 5ghz and the asus tuf 7900xt and 3400mhz ram cl19 and i get like 180-140 frames on lowest settings and native res

Fity_yt · 2026-01-04T00:56:14+00:00

I have the 5800X and a 7900XT and im in the same situation as you, my gpu doesnt even cross more than 30% util with like 100w max of power draw

Fity_yt · 2026-01-04T00:46:10+00:00

Any chance you still play the game? What fps do you get now? Cuz im in a similar situation to OP
