Nvidia unveiled the RTX 4070 Ti last month at CES and it seems the RTX 4070 won't be too far behind. According to recent reports, board partners are currently in the process of preparing custom RTX 4070 graphics cards, and we may already know the GPU's base and boost clock speeds. 

As per T4C Fantasy (via VideoCardz), the Nvidia RTX 4070 should have a base clock speed of 1,920MHz and a boost clock speed of 2,475MHz, lower than the RTX 4070 Ti. Moreover, it has been reported that there would be two reference models of the RTX 4070, but it's unclear what the differences are between the two and if both will be available at the same time.

The leaker also claimed that an AIB partner has already decided on the specifications of its custom RTX 4070 graphics cards. That would be Colorful with its iGame Ultra White OC line, which reportedly has a boost clock of 2,505MHz, 30MHz more than the reference value.

Based on previous rumours, the RTX 4070 should come with an AD104 GPU with 5,888 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR6X memory running at 21Gbps across a 192-bit memory bus for a maximum bandwidth of 504GB/s. All that would come in a 200W TDP. The RTX 4070 cards are expected to enter mass production this month, so we could still see them available in Q1 2023.

KitGuru says: Based on the rumoured specifications of the RTX 4070, the upcoming GPU will be slower than the RTX 4070 Ti. However, depending on pricing, this could be this generation's most successful RTX card.

Recently, rumours have been swirling around a high-end GPU refresh from AMD, currently known as the RX 6950XT. Following on from early reports about the GPU this month, leakers have begun sharing expected specifications, including 350W power draw and a massive 2.5GHz boost clock speed. 

According to known leaker Greymon55, the upcoming Radeon RX 6950 XT card will boost over 2.5GHz, just like the various Radeon RX 6900 XT cards featuring the Navi 21 XTXH GPU. As for the Radeon RX 6900 XT cards, none of them has a rated boost clock of over 2.5GHz, but many owners claimed they could boost beyond their specifications, hitting around 2.6GHz out-of-the-box settings in some cases.

In a separate comment, Greymon55 also said that he expects the graphics card will have a TBP of 350W, a 20W uplift from the other Radeon RX 6900 XT cards using Navi 21 XTXH. However, compared with the standard Radeon RX 6900 XT cards, it will consume 50W more.

As per the latest rumours, the Radeon RX 6950 XT graphics card is expected to launch in April.

KitGuru says: Considering the rumours we've heard so far, do you think the Radeon RX 6950XT will be worth getting instead of a standard RX 6900XT?

AMD’s new firmware update should fix 3rd Gen Ryzen boost clock issues https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/matthew-wilson/amds-new-firmware-update-should-fix-3rd-gen-ryzen-boost-clock-issues/ https://www.kitguru.net/components/cpu/matthew-wilson/amds-new-firmware-update-should-fix-3rd-gen-ryzen-boost-clock-issues/#respond Wed, 11 Sep 2019 10:36:21 +0000 https://www.kitguru.net/?p=425237 Last week, AMD addressed complaints surrounding 3rd Gen Ryzen processors not hitting their advertised boost clock speeds. Now, a fix is on the way, with motherboard partners currently working to implement the latest firmware update.

Last week, AMD officially acknowledged user issues with 3rd Gen Ryzen processors, confirming that there is an issue affecting boost clock speeds for some customers. Now this week, AMD has taken some steps towards fixing this problem with a new firmware update.

Motherboard partners have received the new update, which is based on AGESA 1003ABBA. This update will implement a fix to enhance 3rd Gen Ryzen boost speeds by approximately 25-50MHz under various workloads. The update also includes an ‘activity filter' that allows the CPU boost algorithm to disregard intermittent OS and background application usage spikes to smooth out desktop idle behaviour.

The new firmware update is with motherboard partners now and AMD expects this to be implemented into user-downloadable BIOS updates within two weeks time. Additionally, on the 30th of September, AMD is releasing the AMD Monitoring SDK, which will support those building a monitoring utility that can reliably report CPU metrics.

KitGuru Says: A fix for Ryzen boost speeds is on the way, although it will be a couple of weeks before we begin to see feedback from users. Hopefully this does resolve the final issues though. Have any of you upgraded to 3rd Gen Ryzen this year? Have you had any problems with boost clock speeds?

While 3rd Gen Ryzen has mostly been positively received, there have been some issues along the way. One of the main issues currently is that a good number of 3rd Gen Ryzen owners aren't able to hit advertised boost clock speeds. Fortunately, AMD is aware and may have found a fix.

Here is the full statement from AMD:

“AMD is pleased with the strong momentum of 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen processors in the PC enthusiast and gaming communities. We closely monitor community feedback on our products and understand that some 3rd Gen AMD Ryzen users are reporting boost clock speeds below the expected processor boost frequency. While processor boost frequency is dependent on many variables including workload, system design, and cooling solution, we have closely reviewed the feedback from our customers and have identified an issue in our firmware that reduces boost frequency in some situations. We are in the process of preparing a BIOS update for our motherboard partners that addresses that issue and includes additional boost performance optimizations. We will provide an update on September 10 to the community regarding the availability of the BIOS.”

The statement comes after professional overclocker, Der8auer, conducted a survey of over 2,000 users, with the majority of them reporting that their 3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs weren't hitting rated boost clock speeds.

AMD is working on a firmware update now that should help address the problem, but it will also require a motherboard BIOS update, so it could take a while to fully roll out.

KitGuru Says: Have any of you had problems with boost clock speeds on a 3rd Gen Ryzen? If so, which CPU are you currently using?
