Hello, I purchased a XFX RX 580 GTS XXX Edition 8GB this week and I have some thermal and stutter problems with it. I was wondering if other people have the same problems with this card or mine is faulty and I should replace it or get another model.
First, the thermals. The GPU is getting very hot, in about 15-20 minutes of gaming with fan and temperature limits on auto it can get 85C+. I decided to go with 85 limit on temp and 2400rpm on fans but it still hits that limit and sometimes underclocks itself to keep under 85. I compared temperatures with a friend that has the Sapphire Nitro+ and he gets about 5 degrees colder and lower rpms. I also searched for others temp on my card model and they say they got max 77-80 degrees under full load. I also have to mention that my case is pretty big and ventilated.
Second, the stutter. In games like Fortnite, PUBG, Guild Wars 2 (only games tested so far that ran like this) I get massive stutters, every half a second in Fortnite and GW2 and every 1-2 seconds in PUBG. The graphical settings don't affect this, either on low or ultra the frames are the same and sometimes it runs better on ultra than on low. Again I compared with my friend and he gets 70fps on Ultra in PUBG, I get pretty much the same frames but the GPU util keeps going to 0% and stutters very bad, and temps are still higher even if I have higher fan rpm. On more graphical intensive games like Destiny 2 and Shadow of War I get more stable FPS on high to ultra settings.
Drivers that I used and got the same results: 18.5.1, 18.8.2 and 18.9.1
My specs:
Ryzen 3 1200 @3.7GHz
MSI B350M PRO-VDH
8GB Ram @2400MHz
1TB 7200RPM HardDrive
Corsair NEW VS550, 550W
Thanks in advance.
