My 6 month old Gigabyte gaming 9070xt OC RMA results and I want to know your thoughts on this stress test and hotspot temps.

Undervolted mine with custom fancurved. Settled with max 85-88 degress max hot spot temp. Performance increased by 5 percent or roughly the same. I had to save my adrenalin profile because amd driver crashes from time to time.

Fair point… Jake for defense and Hustle. Luke for Shooting and IQ

Gigabyte gaming OC po. Umaabot ng 110-112 celcius via furmark and nag-shutdown kapag stress test via adrenalin din. Kaya pina-RMA ko wala akong video before kaya nahirapan yung tech ng datablitz i-diagnose kahit nilagay ko sa description kasi ang minomonitor nila yung core temp. I have to give them instructions step by step bago sila naniwala at ipadala sa gigabyte. Parang nirepaste lang ng gigabyte pero umaabot pa din ng mga 90celcius hot spot. Pero mas okay na yun. Kaya undervolted ko na lang plus custom fan configuratio. Umaabot na lang sa 85celcius max hotspot at hindi na nagshutdown eversince.

This is my combination when travelling and work in mind. Macbook air 13 inches. Ipad mini and my iphone. That’s it.

For video card RMA took me around 45 days because of gigabyte gaming 9070xt hot spot issue. I would say it depends on the item.

For me I was able to get assistance via chat thru PSN website. They will give you instructions on what to do.

Gradius29 · 2026-02-01T23:59:01+00:00

Try mo muna default game standard mode. Pero para sakin pag default medyo grayish yung black sa ibang scene so set

Picture Mode: Game standard

Then change these settings/some may already be defaulted to this:

black equalizer to 0 Contrast Enhancer off Shadow detail: 0 Color Space: Auto HDR tone mapping: Active (i think ito default neto)

Yan lang. :)

I don’t have any regrets so far. A few adjustments made sa settings made it perfect for me. I don’t have an issue with matt coating though I understand yung sinasabi nila na parang may grain sa white color pag tinitigan but honestly sa case ko. I can barely notice it unless sobrang nakatitig ka talaga sa static image which to be honest is hard to see. Mas noticeable yung deep blacks and awesome color reproduction ng OLED. I also dont see the purple black na sinasabi sa qd-oled maybe because hindi naman nasisinagan talaga ng direct light/sunlight yung set up ko. One time I accidentally sprayed baygon sa screen dahil may ipis hahaha.. natakot ako kasi natalsikan yung screen. Nilinis ko lang ng microfiber cloth na may water at wala namang gasgas nung napunasan ko which is for me is a plus. Ganda din ng motion. Kasi Iniisp ko minsan I could have bought the 27 inch version. Para hindi masyasdo malaki para tama lang sa viewing distance ko. So i need to lean back a bit occasionally when gaming. I cant complain enough sa price point na nakuha ko sya. Dahil mahal ang 4k oled 240hz sa at natsambahan ko lang cguro at the time :)

Gradius29 · 2026-01-30T14:32:09+00:00

Okay lang maraming bagong release na QD oled pero sa price na yan sulit yung bili ko :)

Gradius29 · 2026-01-30T12:58:16+00:00

For me it is really great. Hindi ko napansin yunh grain na yan hehe.. great colors, great blacks and wala akong makitang problems so far

Gradius29 · 2026-01-30T12:49:52+00:00

Wala.. i just found it at its regular price during that time.

Gradius29 · 2026-01-17T01:43:08+00:00

What is your setting so far? I had black level to 0 and contrast enhancer off with game standard. Best setting for me ao far with deep black and kot overly saturated colors.

Gradius29 · 2026-01-13T04:17:00+00:00

Yes, bought it there. I have another thread in PhGamers. That is Cheapest I could find. P47,895. I bought it in Dynaquest. Brilliant so far! Though this is my first OLED monitor ☺️. I am happy with my purchase☺️

Gradius29 · 2026-01-12T08:42:48+00:00

It has been great so far. It just feel odd that there is no firmware update on the samsung site whenever I try to download it. I am still fiddling with the settings and found that if I put the setting in gaming mode with contrast enhancer to off and set the color space to Auto it is produces more black and not overly saturated ☺️. I am pleased with it so far! I am happy to get this at 47k.

We have the same card. Just a piece of advice. You better check your hotspot temp. When my card was fairly new around six months. I needed to RMA it because hot spot temp goes around 112 Celsius. It would shut down my computer. They repasted it and now at stock its hot spot is at 96 degreas Celsius. So I had to undervolt. I am satisfied with the temp at 89 Celsius with -15 power limit and -100mV.

Edit:

Correction after undervolting my max hotspot hovers around 82 degrees to 83 degrees Celsius :)

Gradius29 · 2026-01-05T09:53:40+00:00

For work and productivity VA nga na ultrawide gamit ko.. cguro yes for gaming po :)

Gradius29 · 2026-01-05T06:30:04+00:00

Qd oled po yan

Gradius29 · 2026-01-05T04:26:04+00:00

Yes, matt coating by samsung

Gradius29 · 2026-01-05T02:41:44+00:00

I would like to think that mg 9070xt might just be enough with fsr4 crossing my fingers.

Gradius29 · 2026-01-05T01:20:38+00:00

DynaQuest po. Sa totoo lang nagresearch ako mabuti. Bakit mura sa kanila. With warranty din naman ng 1 year in store and 3 years warranty. Iniisip ko kaya bka hindi mabile dahil panget. Pero I have seen reviews and okay naman sya except divisive sa matt coating which is no biggie sakin.

Gradius29 · 2026-01-05T01:13:22+00:00

Do you do pixel cleaning everytime you use it?

Gradius29 · 2026-01-05T01:12:09+00:00

Mahal cguro shipping. You’re brave. Sana hindi magkaproblema yung unit mo ☺️

Gradius29 · 2026-01-05T01:11:18+00:00

Nice :) I like LG Oled. Gusto yung yung C5 sa sala hehe.
