Now to the stability, in 3h testing so far...it's okay. No issues with short bursts of load. So far all apps rendered correctly on #Wayland. #OpenCL still hangs ring0 and resets the driver if utilized with #Plasma loaded. Works fine out of tty3 with no graphical session. That was the same for #6800XT but was fixed later. HIP seems to render several Blender scenes without issue. While playing Insurgency after ~15 min, got driver hang on page_flip timeout, gpu reset was again successful.
Shadow of the Tomb Rider turned out to be CPU bound (I have #Ryzen #5900X) at #1440p loading GPU to only 87%, showing 221 FPS avg. I've been playing a lot of Insurgency Sandstorm lately, this is the best showcase for me. I used to run the game at 144 Hz (vsync) and mostly it delivered, ranging between 100-144 FPS at 100% load. Now it runs 165 FPS (165 Hz, vsync) at 70% load, consuming only 170W rather than 270W with #6800XT.
As far as performance goes: Most titles I've tried it's 50% more performance on average, best of all, min framerate normally matches avg framerate of #6800XT. Ray tracing performance is +50% in Q2 RTX and +100% (double) in Crysis {1,2,3} Remastered. Control's ray tracing performance didn't improve at all. 45-55 FPS at high, 65+ FPS at Mid, almost just like 6800XT, looks like a translation layer issue.
As far as card itself. I'm running it with a Quiet BIOS rather than performance, due to TDP and power consumption considerations, hence everything I write is in QUIET BIOS and not the top performance #7900XTX or this particular card can deliver!
1) It tops at 63C with zero noise produced in my case
2) Idle consumption is 18-28W
3) It runs my monitor at 165Hz with memory stays at idling 97 Mhz
4) It's the same size as my previous #ASRock Phantom gaming RX #6800XT
5) It's twice the weight (2 Kg)
