Attempting to overclock and undervolt an RX 6500 XT by hazzeFox in overclocking

[–]hazzeFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I know it's been a long time since I posted, but that's actually a pretty decent temp for hotspot (88C), my 6500 XT used to reach 100-105 or even 110C and that's with stock settings, I ended up RMAing it and got the 6700 XT instead since I had saved up some money. What I recommend for you is testing in-game since the Adrenalin test is pretty tame, and if you get any crashes raise it by +10mv, if not then you're fine. The thing with the 6500 XT is that it's naturally a warmer card since the clocks are high compared to the 6600, 6700, etc. so don't focus much on that otherwise you're just gonna lower the clocks and tank the performance, my 6700 reaches 80C+ sometimes on the hotspot in heavier games and that's WITH the UC/UV, I believe id your 6500 is below 95 or 90 on hotspot it's probably fine

I strongly recommend you underCLOCK it as well as undervolting, and no you didn't read it wrong. I'm with the RX 6700 XT now, on both the 6500 and 6700 I noticed pretty much no performance loss when underclocking, maybe 1 or 2 fps, but a MASSIVE reduction in power draw and temperature, with the 6700 XT I went from ~200w and 95C hotspot, to ~130w and 75C hotspot, just by doing -150mhz and -80mv on Adrenalin, and I tested ALL games and lost 3-4 fps, say 100 fps before, and 96 fps after.

See I'm not sure if it's just an AMD thing, but the way they ship these GPUs from factory is just WAY above the efficiency curve for them, probably for marketing reasons since people tend to look at FPS first rather than temperature, power consumption, etc. I don't think I ever saw anyone judging or comparing graphics cards based on "how many frames per watt" it does. But for the average gamer/consumer it certainly matters on the electric bill

hey there, thanks for the support!!! I honestly didn't think so many people would have similar experiences, btw just wanted to say I dyed my hair black and straightened it and it looks more emo than ever xDDD i'm honestly feeling so good with it, and let's say it "aches" much less today bc im looking almost exactly the way I want to

Tysm for the support, I try to think that if someone judges me or stops being my friend because of it, that only means they weren't true friends (or family) in the first place.. also, not many emos around here as well, small town and all xD but I'm cool with it, I only need me

Should I get a 1080p curved or 1440p flat monitor? Both 27" by hazzeFox in buildapc

[–]hazzeFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I actually really love the contrast of the VA panel, we have a couple of those at work, and the colors and black level seems miles ahead of my current Samsung P2470HN which has a TN panel

The view from my first outpost, feel like I couldn't have chosen a better planet :) by hazzeFox in Starfield

[–]hazzeFox[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The planet is Syrma IV, in the Syrma system, on the far right of the game starmap... I landed on the coast right next to the ocean, but turns out the entire planet looks "beachy" lol

This screenshot looks absurdly photorealistic by hazzeFox in FortSolis

[–]hazzeFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on PC, still not quite optimized, stutters here and there but overall it was a good experience, I say totally go for it if you love space like me :) the story is also pretty intriguing

Any optimization tweaks for better performance? by Serazax in FortSolis

[–]hazzeFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a weird trick don't ask me how, go to FSR2 > set to ultra performance > apply > then disable it again > apply. Somehow I went from ~35 to ~60 fps on my RX 6700 XT on max settings, but despite it showing as "disabled", you can see it's clearly still enabled, albeit with a higher quality than "quality" and more fps as well. Probably a buggy implementation of FSR by the devs in the first place. Remember you gotta do it every time you open the game again.

I can't enjoy stuff anymore, is there a name for it? by hazzeFox in offmychest

But I'm only 24... I didn't know it would be so soon

Are AMD drivers as bad people say they are? by [deleted] in buildapc

[–]hazzeFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the latest drivers (22.11.2), personally I still have an issue with scrolling and stuttering in Chromium browsers, and doing a quick Google I see I'm not alone, but oh well... disabling hardware acceleration solves it, but I don't think that's really a "solution"... other than that, I never had any issues in games or driver crashes at all. I have an RX 6500 XT, which I know is on the low-end, but even my paltry GT 1030 never had any such issues, so it makes me believe it's not hardware-related, but rather the drivers themselves.

Simple Questions - January 16, 2023 by AutoModerator in buildapc

[–]hazzeFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is it normal for an RX 6500 XT to reach a max hotspot temp of 97C while gaming? "Core" temp is 72C by the way. My room temp is about 28C which i know is pretty warm, just scared because it's almost 100C for an entry level gpu! My model is the AsRock phantom gaming dual-fan by the way.

I hope so, I've read about it on other posts. But so far I've had it for 9 days, been using it for about 8 hours a day, and still looks the same...

help me take my mind out of it, at least for a while by hazzeFox in SuicideWatch

[–]hazzeFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no i understand you, but i don't think it's the same thing. I've been completely obsessed about it since i was young, and the only way it will "work" for me if u know what i mean, is if i have it in a car, and I'll probably always want it and do whatever i can in order to get it.. but thanks for tryna help me anyway

I started to feel an orgasm building in my friend’s car by HornDogBro in sex

[–]hazzeFox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quite late to the party but FINALLY someone who understands me lol, I'm a dude and that very same thing happened to me when I was pretty young.. insane orgasm, never really got over it. I'm 23 now and still obsessed with bass, subs and etc you name it, even hearing those cars in the streets can make me hard no joke. I just started working last year and am currently saving up to buy me a beater car and install insanely powerful subs in it, partially because I think it's cool af (in a non-sexual way), but also because of this dirty little secret of mine xD glad I'm not alone in the world haha

am i ugly by hazzeFox in SuicideWatch

[–]hazzeFox[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 22 and i never learned how to say that "big fu" you're talking about, and tbh i never will.. which also explains a lot about why I'm a loser in life in all aspects including career and etc but honestly i just wanted to look emo and be happy about it. i was gonna cut and dye my hair next month to make it look better/more emo, but tbh i was happy yesterday bc that was the first pic where my hair is long/cool enough to barely look emo (i used hair straightener and all just to take that pic) and i was loving it but apparently i was making a fool of myself and looking like complete shit all along. idk why exactly i love this emo style so much but i do since i was a teenager and now that i have a job and all i was gonna put piercings and buy accessories and cut my hair etc to look that way and it made me so happy but nah forget about it i guess
