I really want to keep the card, but I'm having my doubt as picking up a few more frames in VR isn't worth the $370. Usually it won't break 60 degrees, even with a nice overclock. This new card seems to handle overlocks easily but I don't want to push it to ridiculous levels and it still hasn't gone above 66 degrees. I used to push my last card quite hard to run VR flight sims and it would often be in the 75-83 degree range. My system is a little old, but it's not that bad: z390 PRIME motherboard with 32 GB of 3200 RAM, 9700k overclocked to 4.8-5.0, NVME 1 TB hard drive and the latest version of Windows 10. I also updated my motherboard's BIOS to the most recent. I did try a couple of clean installs of the AMD drivers after running DDU. On the other hand, benchmarking with Heaven gets the same or worse results than my old card. Around 3 milliseconds, but that can help with less ghosting of images, so I'll take it. The new card does get better frame times in VR flight simulators, so that's a plus. I've read that the average "G3D Mark" for the card is around 16,300, but I'm not sure what the difference between a "3D Graphics Mark" and a "G3D Mark" is (if any). My 3D Graphics Mark from Passmark software on the new card was 9,519. My 1070 ti tested 70+% on that site while installed in the same slot and system. I tried the userbenchmark site for a quick test and the new card tests in the 9-14% range while the rest of my system tests far above average. I just replaced my 1070 ti with a new 6650 XT that feels pretty anemic.
