RADEON Vii can overclock! Move over Nvidia! 

Shout out to Jason for being beyond kind

AMD runs on decibel power. "Is it too loud?" isn't the right question. The question should be "How loud can we get?" We should demand louder cards that we get to rev up like car engines by pressing on the spacebar. "Hey, is that an AMD card?" "What???" "...an AMD card!?!?!" "What?????"

Hey timmy the orange curve is for adjusting voltage u can move it up and down I did an overclocking undervolting video if ur interested !! I got 2021 MHz but people in my discord have got 2100mhz !! My voltage at 2021 is 1.075 volts or 1075 mv !! Hope this helps!! Cheers Paul

Congrats on getting the Radeon 7, you have some amazing loving fans dude

You can drop about -100mV on these cards and its pretty much guareenteed to work, so looks like you have a good chip that should be able to do 2000MHz at 1.1mV range, this will drop the temps a good amount and keep those fans down... I have a dud that does only 1900MHz at 1140mV only...

You're like the red-headed child of tech channels. ...oh wait

Isn't this a bit misleading, Rtx 2080's can hit 2100 MHz, but to be fair Radeon VII's don't die as frequently lol.

AMD cards seem to get better when the drivers mature over time. Impressive card!

Lol he smelled the foam Good vid can't believe you got it

I was on patreon supporting The Good Old Gamer because of a vid he did saving me a ton of money basically stating how marketing makes us spend $$$ on the latest hardware, when realistically we only need a 1060 6gb to enjoy 1080p.... If I hadn't lost my job, I would be on your patreon because I beleive you have the same true ethic!!! Ty as always for all your hard work!!!

To anyone who wants to buy a card but can't because they are out of stock in the typical retailers such as newegg/etc - you can now order the cards directly off of AMD's website where they ARE in stock. I hope this helps if you're looking to buy, and please don't fall for the scalpers on places like ebay.

I was waiting you to review that beast. I'm actually planning to buy one of these, because I don't care about DLSS and Ray Tracing stuff, so that card can be a pretty good Future Proof card with its 16GB of VRAM. Keep da good work Timmy ;)

for all its faults.. id take that over anything and i mean ANYTHING nvidia could ever make.. i will forever hold a grudge against nvidia for killing 3dfx and Ageia Fk nvidia till there out of business i say..

Your arent looking... voltage is where it use to be, you have to slide the curve. ALL the reviewers screwed up. My day 1 drivers allowed for overclocking with an undervolt.

I believe AMD is saying what's the point in investing PR in Radeon VII when there aren't enough to go around? They're not trying to sell it on purpose because there's not enough stock and they definitely don't want people complaining just like they did about stock in previous generations. This card was just a stopgap until Navi arrives later this year

This may be the sleekest looking reference design I've ever seen. That beautiful silver shroud is nuts. Cool video👍

This for whatever reason is my introduction video to your channel! I really appreciate how genuine you are and I'm glad the algorythm pointed me your way! Subscribed of course.

Historically when AMD launches a new card on a new die shrink they normally release a budget card. They would take an existing gpu and shrink it, then do a run of gpu's to test the new die shrink, and work out the bugs, in the past they would do this on budget cards, but this time they did their flagship card. I think in the past they avoid top tier reviews by releasing a budget card, and often it would get great reviews for a budget card avoiding negative press from releasing a top tier card on die shrink. It takes about 2 to 3 months to print a gpu, all those fabs working together making a gpu. So every time they make a batch of gpu's they can test em then tweek the next batch, etc. So this would explain why there's a small batch of AMD 7's, and why the drivers where rushed... AMD is working hard on their navie cards which might be out in 3 months or so, (cuz it takes 2 to 3 months to print those gpu's, after tweaking the first batch of gpu's (amd 7's).

You're an honest man with warm heart. Keep up the great videos! Thanks Jason for providing this card to youtubers like Timmy who deserve it!

be careful bro that graphite pad is there for a reason. not all the surfaces it touches are flush to each other

I have never seen your channel before. No idea how. What up ginge, fellow ginge here supporting the gingesquad and subbed! I like the way you work it, my dude. yeet

Yes dude, this has been awesome, can't wait for ek waterblock to come out in a month or so. so far 1200 on memory and 1900 on core without having to overvolt.

5:29 7nm for a Radeon VII is so efficient it runs 0mhz. overclock it to 1mhz and you'd get 100+ FPS

New to your channel and loving the content. Question though: why are you not running water cooling on your Vega?

Best Radeon Vii video I've seen yet!

I always leave some skepticism about OEM cards versus AIB partner cards. However, that being said, Timmy have you tested it against workstation benchmarks like Blender and other professional rendering toolkits? I'm actually interested in seeing some of those benchmarks also.

Just out of curiosty, what are your settings for vega 64 undervolt? Im having trouble getting mine to stay over 1600 when undervolting. Thanks!

What your radeon 7’s stock voltage in wattman bad binned cards are over 1100mv and anything under that is good and under 1050mv is golden mine was 1070mv stock. I get my best scores just oc the memory to 1200 and adding 50 to the core on firestrike graphics

It seems like the Vega 64 has become a tremendous value with time. The drivers evolved, the game support improved and pricing is very favorable now. Clearly Vega 64 is the better value today and seems to be roughly 1080 performance at well below what 1080 prices were a few months ago, and way below what they are today. I would not be surprised if Radeon VII does not improve a lot from here. New game drivers and configs will find ways to use that extra memory and fat pipe to deliver extra performance. Just as AMD is pushing core count on CPUs I wonder if they won't push memory speed and pipe on the GPU side. Textures and shaders are all about memory.

I love the casual, fun nature of your channel that most tech review channels lack. Why can't more people be casual and give their honest opinion? You deserve more views XD

I was afraid you'd be biased from the title, but i'm impressed. Nice honest review!

Hey, can I ask you what microphone do you use? That gold one. Thanks 👌

Attention Timmy Joe: Would you recommend Radeon VII or an RTX 2080? Excluding RTX 2080 Ti that over $1200 and some AIB partner cards are more. I see Radeon VII runs like a revved engine. I was thinking about getting the Radeon VII but if the RTX 2080 which is in my possession in my PC is a heck of a whole lot better then it's a keeper.

In my country..the radeon 7 is same priced as the rtx 2080 mini,plus with that 3 free new games..thats a good deal bruhh

Your video quality has improved the new camera is awesome.

The 'conditions' on which he has to follow up on getting this card...... He has to take naked photos with the Radeon 7 and send them to the guy. I heard one of them, he put the Radeon over his Schlong. /s

Totally agree, AMD's BIGGEST mistake with the Radeon VII was not being diligent enough with their marketing. It was funny and SOOOO on point watching Steve scolding AMD for the terrible launch. They probably had so much confidence in what the card can do that they didn't pay attention to the details. I ordered mine after watching Jay, Steve @ GN, Digital Foundries, and der8auer. In fact it was Jay saying he would use the Radeon VII and der8auer hitting 2100mhz on dry ice with bad drivers, that did it for me and aside from not yet having good drivers and straightforward overclocking or undervolting capabilities in Linux, I don't regret getting the card

With these cards it’s good PC building practice to use a copious amounts of Thermal Paste

AND ITS SO LOUD THAT YOU NEED TO SPEAK LOUDER DURING THE TEST PHASE DUE TO OVERHEATING CHIP

you can adjust voltage by dragging the curve vertically, while clocks are modified horizontally

Love the video can't wait to see how far you can push it

have you tested this with the 19.3.3 driver? try using gelid thermal paste. have had some good drops in cooling with it.

My number one question is, why didn't AMD make a GPU that could rival the 2080 on default settings?

Also, for the Manual fan curve. It goes off Junction temp, so when you set your curve, you'll want to be 10-15 degrees above what you'd regularly so. My card sits at 2100RPM and sits in the mid 60s during gaming.

What is your stock voltage on that card Timmy Joe?

I clicked the thumbs up at the beginning of the video. That's faith in you Timmy!

the thermal sheet/pad in Radeon VII works better than thermal paste with the original cooler because is has better coverage with the pressure GamersNexus did a pressure test

Please please please, let me know how that water block works. I took the shroud off my Radeon VII along with the fans and have it vertically mounted with a Vornado room circulating fan attached to a cut out hole in the plexiglass. Works pretty good, but this beast needs to be water cooled to sustain high core frequencies for hours on end, even after under volting.

What wattage does your 64 use at max load? Mine only uses 210 at max load.

When your smashing keys and cannibal corpse is making ears bleed, fan noise is an afterthought.

Dude, your CPU is at 4275 Mhz, 30% game load and runs between 70-80 °C under AIO?

this dude here is so appreciative of this, im impressed with alot of his videos and this dude is so down to earth and friendly and knows what hes talking about (even when he dosnt) he dosnt try to fake it hes just himself on cam as he is off cam, im def a fanboy now and shout out to Jason for hooking up timmy joe with the most bad@$$ Gpu made!

AMD's got a history of making drivers that make their product get better over time, so I'm expecting this card to definitely get better over time with the drivers

Still sitting at 2146MHz peak Clock in FireStrike at 1.17V...can't go higher with the stock cooler. I reached out to Raijintek and asked them if a Morpheus is planned for the VII or any other cooler at that, and they said that they just got the scans and are working on it. I guess we can expect some decent coolers for the VII in 2-3 months. Still, even with that I doubt going above 2100MHz on air is not possible due to temps. Still, despite the 1.17V, the card itself roughly draws 360W peak, that is pretty nice still. Something like 2050-2080 at around 1.1V or even 1.08 if you got a decent card should be ok.

you are correct - the other reviewers were told no overclocking when in fact it was the driver. they were given duff info by amd themselves.

Jason who? Jason Derulo? fuuuu

timespy is nvidia biased, unlike firestrike, which is better for comparing nvidias zu amds

12:20 Timmy there was / is a bug with the highest tier Threadripper on Windows that might limit the graphics performance too. I don't knwo when they will release a fix for that but Wendel from L1 Techs was showing that bug. Oh and how much RAM is inside your computer? You said what kind of RAM it was but not how much it is.

Der8Auer should send you some kisses, for you love of AMD!

Your math is bad tim... 12:28 it is actually 316 points slower, or you could approximate it directly at 200-300... Isn't that hard... If it was 1000points slower it was way slower than in your test.

Thanks for the review on this radeon, you're awesome bro

AMD fanboi not on the cool list, *Wait WHAT?* 9:28

Have you tried the automatic undervolting feature that AdoredTV mentioned in his video?

Fitted an EK block to mine running at 2200mhz now. Going from the stock cooler which couldn't even keep cool enough to stay at 1750mhz up to 2200mhz all day long has made a nice improvement in my FPS!

Optimum Tech managed to get their Radeon VII, on day one, to overclock, undervolt and stay cool enough to only have to run the fans at 1500 RPM. Impressive stuff!

TIMMMMMYYY JOE !!!! a day isnt complete with out my favorite kanuk :) Love your content buddy

Keep it at 40%-60% fan speed all the way up too 75 degrees then 100% fan speed with your under volt core clock. It stays quiet for the most part and pretty cool.

Can't wait for water cooled versions to come out, or 3rd party versions if Radeon even does that.... This should be a nice upgrade from my Radeon R9 Fury

Timmy Joe, did you just make the mistake of daisy chaining the 2 8 pin connectors instead of using 2 separate wires?

#ExpectBetterCableManagmentFromTimmyJoe :P By the way love your videos, please keep it up.

I hate to say it because the initial cost is high, but custom loop is the way to go for no noise. Its a pain to setup and to maintain, but silence is golden and in my opinion, worth it.

ITS 300 POINTS BEHIND A 1080TI IN TIMESPY

To figure out the MHz of the card - why don't you hook up the other display you have on your table to it and have the Radeon software on the other display? Or if you have an old Android unit lying around - then use AIDA64 along with a plugin to display system information live on the android device, it's quite doable and just requires a little bit of research.

When in doubt, hit the auto-undervolt option to look at how the performance curve operate and then clock it higher to keep it to the same ratio.

Timmy Joe's selling himself on the street to get computer parts haha. Love your videos man, keep up the good work.

Your TimeSpy GPU score is actually not that good. I know people on 11.5k. Mine does 10.7k @ 2025mhz. Don't use these synthetic benchmarks as baseline.

Wouldn’t the ryzen 7 do better in games than the threadripper since threadripper is a workstation cpu and the ryzen line up is for gaming meaning the cpu as for ryzen 7 or lower can be taken more advantage of with that type of graphics card?

Didn't you tried applying liquid metal + a raijintek morpheus 2 (idk if they are compatible but if they are you can get 2 good 120 mm fans and get a lot more of room + less noise)

more VRAM and I don't have to support Nvidia so its a win for me. Just got mine today and I have to say that 4K looks beautiful on my 55" Gaming TV With Freesync. Its buttery smooth in Sniper elite 4, Subotica, and Dark Souls 3. I'm happy to support AMD and hope they continue to drive innovation. With DLSS being shit because it's making everything blurry and ray tracing being another completely worthless feature when your not in specialized cinematics, I am looking forward to playing the 3 new games I got bundled with the Radeon VII and eventually putting a water block on the card.

timy @4:43 :thx for watching thats it me :wait whattt the helll timy: jk we gonna put it in a threadripper and play some games me:ohh yeh yeahhh

How dare you call me amazing. The most impressive thing I do is wake up in the morning (actually a pretty glorious thing to see).

i just love the smell of brand new computer parts when they come out of the box

Ctrl+Shift+O = Radeon Wattman Overlay Set it up in Wattman to Monitor what you want and for placement...

am i missing something about graphics cards? my old gtx 1060 strix ran at like 2100mhz

My Radeon still shows an occasional artifact in Unigen Heaven when overclocking to 2000MHz even with the voltage bumped up to 1200mv. On the flip side it stays quite at stock.

Timmy can you make a video on how to use wattman? I want to give it a try and I don't understand the whole changing states thing. I'm also not very experienced in overclocking and rhere are no good tutorials out there.

did it pull 400 watts in the end then? i tried a stock radeon vii last week, under load i wanted to leave the room. 50ish decibels in your face comping from 3 fans at 3000 rpm. i'd watercool this card using a fullblock if i had to use this card as daily driver.. i really hope amd soon will get their performance per watt down on their "high-end" gpu's. 290x, 390x, fury x, vega 64 and now radeon vii, all terrible performance per watt.

Hey Timmy, because of the unevenness of the multi-level die mating to the vapor chamber liquid metal or common thermal paste will not provide any benefit and might actually overheat the card. www.hitachi-chem.co.jp/english/report/060/60_tr07.pdf is the thermal solution AMD has used for this card. The graphite wafer will compress where needed to transfer the heat better. This technology has been around for a long time and until AMD can organize and even out the chiplet design to make it flush the graphite is the better solution for now. Great review brother. Keep it up!

TJ a good way to watch what the card is doing while running games or doing benchmarks is to use AMD Link, AMD's phone/pad app. I use it on my iPad next to me when I play intense games or run BM's so I can see what the stats of the card are real time while the benchmark or game is running.

Thank you Timmy Joe and thank you Jason. Splendid review.

Dude, not as fast as 1080ti in a synthetic benchmark? It does not represent real world performance . . . Besides the point, only a mere 316 points behind, not 1000.

It's great to see some enthusiastic competition between company products. Software will be improved over time and hopefully.. Hopefully Navi is similar enough in software implementation that ports between XBoxes and Sony 5 's to PCs will be improved in performance. Since many reviewers don't actually 'own' a Radeon 7 will not see the improvements over time due to tuning and cooling improvements.

I don't agree with this review as it felt like you spent 5 minutes to get a score and you're drawing conclusions the next 10 minutes. For the fan noise, look at the options you have in the card settings in order to quiet it down from 3000rpm to 2000rpm . it will allow at least a better audio experience, at the least...

Learn to count to six here on this episode of Timmy Joe 4:24

How do you Overclock the Ram?

Can you use hwinfo osd to see the gpu frequency during gameplay?

if the price comes down a little bit and 3rd party cards can reduce the ridiculous noise, there's some potential here for a great mid-high end card. Especially considering the smoothness of the experience (these cards have better 1% lows than even the 2080 Ti in the testing I have seen so far).

I wish AMD finds a way to cut down its TDP without losing performance through software.

Jimmy, next time monitor the MHz with AMDLink on your phone. Pretty neat program and improved since release last year

I love to tweak with my computer, so that's why I love Vega. Plus I think Vega was a future looking GPU in a way, especially VRAM wise with the 16GB now on VII and HBCC. I've added my system memory to my PC and allocated 12GB to my 56 using HBCC, it's makes a difference in smoothness in some games. You buy a VEGA you can keep it for a while...
