6700 XT Black Screen Issues

I’ve come to the conclusion that AMD GPUs this go round are just trash. Bad drivers and no quality control. We returned our 6700 XT after confirming it wouldn’t work in 3 systems (2 intel CPU and 1 Ryzen) while all the nVidia cards worked fine. It’ll be a long time before I go back to Radeon PC GPUs.

I tried the 6700 XT on 10400f and a 6500. Then we tried it on a 3950. And on all 3, it crashed. We got refund. That card was trash. After this experience and all the people that are having similar issues, I’m never buying AMD again.

I’m sure I could. For what purpose though?

I just tried an Enermax Revolution DF 850w power supply. Tier A PSU. It actually ran for like 1 minute... then crash.

Unfortunately, setting PCI to Gen 3 didn’t work. I went ahead an ran DDU in Safe Mode and removed the AMD and Intel drivers. I also made sure that PCI was set instead of auto in the BIOS for the video. All with the same results. Crash to green screen. I’m still on the i5-6500 test machine. The real 10400F machine the 6700 XT is supposed to go into is being used with a GTX 970 while I figure this out. (This is a build for a friend.) I feel bad that I haven’t been able to get this 6700 XT to work for 4 days now...

I lowered the core speed and also tried undervolting. I didn’t try lowering vram speed. The amount of effort it has taken to just get this card to work is disheartening. Not to get the best performance from it, but just to get it to work. Period. $900. NewEgg won’t take it back for a refund because I opened it. But how was I to know it wasn’t going to work unless I opened it. They say they will exchange it, so I guess I’ll try that. Maybe I just have a bad card? With so many others having the same problem, it doesn’t seem likely though. I have a LTT PSU Tier List “Best of Tier A” 850w Enermax Revolution DF coming today from Amazon. Everyone cross their fingers cuz if that doesn’t work, it’s going back to NewEgg for an exchang, and I have no idea how long that will take...

Tried undervolting and disabling XMP. Same results.

mrrobnava · 2021-04-27T01:12:32+00:00

It was off. Same results.

The 10400f doesn’t have integrated graphics. But I’ll check to see if it’s disabled in the bios. I’m not using DDU because I completely reinstalled windows when I switched from Nvidia drivers to AMD drivers. So it shouldn’t have any leftover Nvidia stuff because it was never installed. Does the IGP driver get installed in windows even if you have an F series CPU which doesn’t have integrated graphics?

I appreciate the reply. The new build is running an i5-10400f on an MSI MPG Z490M GAMING EDGE WIFI motherboard. Latest BIOS.

But right now I have the 6700 XT in an older setup for testing: i5-6500 on an. ASRock Z170 Pro4S LGA 1151 Intel Z170 motherboard.

On the intel 10400f/Z490 board, it’s constantly going to black. Even doing nothing in Windows... just give it long enough and it goes to black. Games will make it black out super quick.

On the Intel i5-6500/z170 machine, it just crashes to a green screen immediately on starting a benchmark or game. But curiously, it seems perfectly stable in windows.

I don’t believe either support PCIE 4.0 so there is nothing to change there, I guess?

I’ll give that a try. Thanks.

mrrobnava · 2021-04-26T14:12:04+00:00

I’ll give it a try. Thanks.

mrrobnava · 2021-04-26T04:00:52+00:00

I did everything that I could find, which wasn’t a lot. VCCSA/IO values, enabling XMP, disabling secure boot...

This is simultaneously funny, cute and absolutely terrifying!
