Looks like the best XT yet. Finally a Navi that does well on both temps and acoustics.

Odd to leave out ASUS, SAPPHIRE AND GIGABYTE...

ARRGH!!! Come on Sapphire, Let's get that nitro 5700xt out already.

Seen in pop up on Newegg, so should be soon.

Hello, I just had my card last week and i have a weird fan noise and i would like to know if it's normal or not. I tried to reach MSI but without any answer about this noise... Right now i run adrenaline 20.2.1 driver, but i tried older ones too. My gpu is undervolted to 1075. When the fans go faster than 1500 rpm it's really loud and the sound is like the fans are not in synch, and i don't know how to say that but that's the feeling i have, or like it's moving wile it spins or kind of oscillating fan noise. I bought a VERTICAL GRAPHIC CARD HOLDER (upHere Graphics Card GPU Brace Support) but still the same noise. For testing purpose my fan settings is like this : 30°C 10x (speed) ; 35C 21x ; 46C 31x ; 60C 40x ; 72C 70x I know there's some driver issue but i would like to know if it's normal or a problem with my card and if i have to send it back quicly for warranty. Here are two videos i have made to show you : [youtube=kO_KvlFMe70] [youtube=_NDcFQMas7Y] Thanks for you help. Regards,

The Pulse has something like that from how the fans have two different dimensions and run at slightly different speeds creating oscillation or a sort of vibrating noise especially audible on higher fan levels. Post 19.7.1 the Navi driver fan controller or the way the driver uses it was also locked down a bit so bios settings do not fully apply and how the fan works mainly works by ramping it way up and then dropping down to near the target temperature now thus it gets noisier. 🙂 Adrenaline 2020 drivers can also be somewhat more prone to overshooting the target temperature and fan speed values so if you set a "curve" * in Wattman and compare via something like GPU-Z the actual fan speeds when under load should be a bit different which can also make it hard to tune in good fan settings plus there's how the driver works and also the way it tries enforcing a lower idle fan speed and that can mean it kicks in at the target temperature of around 75 degrees (Junction temp.) depending on GPU model and it's bios values here shooting up to higher RPM levels and again dropping down from there. Worst case you get a effect where the fan goes near idle hits the target temp shoots up and then gradually throttles down and then goes idle and repeats. As to the fan curve and the asterisk mark well it's more of a stepping and the drivers immediately shifts between the two states instead of gradually curving up and down same as Vega had when this mode was introduced in a earlier driver. Add in the way the driver often overshoots the target values, hard locked behaviors and reliance on the target temperature and you get a fan behavior that isn't easy to adjust or control at least via Wattman, MSI Afterburner works but a bit of care is needed so you don't lock the fan to a single speed which then is too low and the GPU starts throttling as temps rise although for Navi that's a pretty hefty 110 degrees Celsius junction with a edge temperature around 90 - 95 degrees roughly. (Seems high to me but AMD's OK with it.) Short of it well I suspect the MSI here is very similar so two slightly different fans or at least values for how these operate and thus a certain vibration or oscillation effect resulting in this noise coupled with how the drivers sort-of handle the fan settings and a mix of values that can be adjusted and some that are just hard coded from earlier drivers for whatever reason AMD did that. EDIT: Slight oscillation but less than the Pulse from what I am reading and yeah complaints on how the driver handles the fan settings hah. https://www.igorslab.de/en/msi-rx-5700-gaming-x-review-radeon-power-pack-with-good-genes-and-also-a-good-thirst/8/

Hi, thanks for your very detailed answer ! I tried the 19.7.1 driver and the situation is pretty much the same. And i noticed that the oscillation noise is not here under 1500rmp and at very fast speed almost between 70% to 100% the noise is amlost not here anymore. I cross my fingers to have a new amd driver that correct that before the end of my legal send back warrenty. EDIT: this "oscillation noise" is driving me crazy... i'm really close to send back the card, but i just want to be sure that this will not be the same with another one version.
