So got my new Radeon VII last night and put it on my test bench.
650W evga psu
2 separate 8 pin power cables to the card
Tried reseating the card, reseating the pcie power cables.
Thoughts? dud card?
Have any higher wattage PSU's? 650W seems like the bare minimum if we're talking about a beefy bench machine... could explain why 2D works but 3D doesn't.
EDIT: just looked, AMD website states 750W minimum
What happened? Did your 2080Ti die? Please tell me it didn't.
I'm sorry man, my condolences. The Space Invaders are the real heroes.
yeah I do.....the 650w ran a 290 and 1080ti mining for months without an issue and this is happening at just the windows desktop. can't even try a 3d load as the driver wont start. hard to believe its the problem, but possible
It's more about what amps the PSU can supply on the rails. AMD and Nvidia both typically overspec on PSUs because they have to cover for the fact that there are crap PSUs out there that use some dubious tricks to get to their power rating.

I know. But power supplies aren't advertised in amps.
I had the exact problem on a card that had modded bios for mining. I restored the original bios, and the first flash it still had that exact problem, but with a few tweaks (I forget what I did) the card then worked fine. So this new UEFI bios that AMD JUST released like tuesday or wednesday could fix your problem. Look at the AMD thread, there are links to the bios.I've had a bad card exhibit this exact same behavior. Basically when running 2d mode, it works fine, but with the full drivers it tries to run 3d effects and craps out. Could still be a driver issue, but could be a bad card symptom too.
AMD/ATI has somewhat of a reputation for cards that draw a lot of power, but guess what, they also have a reputation for cards with over-built VRM and power sections. Thus, they tend to die less. IMHO. Of course, I've got a stone-dead RX 460 here, which is kind of weird, that's not even a very high-powered card to begin with.Hope it's a simple fix. I recall you got a bad RTX too. When you lose the silicon lottery, it sure does suck. My first 1080 had something wrong with it, now my 2080 Ti has something wrong with it. You know what never game me duds? ATI! Haha. Well, I'm sure they had duds, but I never got them! So RIP ATI, I miss you.

That would probably lend credence to the theory your PSU can't handle the loads it used to anymore. But I wouldn't rule out the BIOS issue yet either.the plot thickens. took a vega 64 liquid on the bench and it behaves the same as the VII did. then I put a 1080ti on the bench and its completely fine. My bench just hates Vega or what? so weird

It isn't dead dead, it's just a $1200 IGP now. Haha. Well, I guess better than IGP, but definitely not a gaming card anymore. See where my RMA ticket goes (ties into the other thread, some what.)
If you really want one, set up alerts for yourself on nowinstock.net - it worked for me and I got an order in with Amazon last night.Is this card released yet?

Nope not in a hurry, there is nothing to play anyways since I am boycotting Metro Exodus for now and I am sure my current Radeon R9 Fury can handle anything for now.
Just curious why this is oos everywhere? I'm all for the underdog but can't you get more performance from nvidia at the same money? Just curious why it's such a hot seller.
