AMD has confirmed that the throttling issues on the Radeon RX 7900 XTX reference models are related to the thermal solution.<\/p>\n
AMD Confirms Radeon RX 7900 XTX Thermal Solution Issues, Committed To Provide A Solution To Affected Users<\/h2>\n
Over the past week, users started reporting a serious issue with the Radeon RX 7900 XTX ‘MBA’ reference graphics cards that caused overheating and resulted in thermal throttling. This made reference designs perform worse since they were running at lower clock speeds and while the initial response from AMD was that everything was ‘Normal’ and declined an RMA to a customer, the company later softened its position and asked affected users to contact the support team.<\/p>\n
Now, after a few days of investigation, AMD is still determining the root cause of the throttling & overheating issues but has provided us with the following statement which more or less confirms the issue might be related to the thermal design which is something that has also been pointed by hardware experts such as Der8auer and Igor’s Lab.<\/p>\n
\n
We are working to determine the root cause of the unexpected throttling experienced by some while using the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX graphics cards made by AMD. Based on our observations to-date, we believe the issue relates to the thermal solution used in the AMD reference design and appears to be present in a limited number of the cards sold. <\/em><\/p>\n
We are committed to solving this issue for impacted cards. Customers experiencing this unexpected throttling should contact AMD Support (https:\/\/www.amd.com\/en\/support\/contact-call).<\/em><\/p>\n
