AMD admits a 'limited number' of RX 7900 XTX graphics cards have an overheating problem. Unfortunately that includes ours.💀
With that result from within my personal PC case, I decided to mount the XTX back into our test bench, which uses a vertical GPU configuration. There has been some talk of this improving temperatures somewhat, though I had no such luck. The hotspot temp swiftly shot up to 110°C, with an average GPU temp around 81°C. The clock speed also dropped to around 1,754MHz, which is a damn sight lower than the 2,300MHz Game Clock advertised with this particular model of card.
Unfortunately this clock speed discrepancy on the XTX is nothing new, it is one of the things I point out as odd in my review. However, the Frameview software we use for power and thermal measurements doesn't record hotspot temperature, only average temperature, so that important piece of information flew under the radar. In comparison, the, which is reportedly not affected acutely by the XTX's issue, does not see such a large dip in clock speed.
I'm going to look further into our card's heat issue and get in touch with AMD to see about further investigation. If you're sure you're also affected, now's the time to reach out to AMD support.Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors

Genome-Wide Pleiotropy Study Identifies Association of PDGFB with Age-Related Macular Degeneration and COVID-19 Infection OutcomesAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) has been implicated as a risk factor for severe consequences from COVID-19. We evaluated the genetic architecture shared between AMD and COVID-19 (critical illness, hospitalization, and infections) using analyses of genetic correlations and pleiotropy (i.e., cross-phenotype meta-analysis) of AMD (n=33,976) and COVID-19 (n ≥ 1,388,342) and subsequent analyses including expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL), differential gene expression, and Mendelian randomization (MR). We observed a significant genetic correlation between AMD and COVID-19 infection (rG=0.10, p=0.02) and identified novel genome-wide significant associations near PDGFB (best SNP: rs130651; p=2.4 × 10−8) in the pleiotropy analysis of the two diseases. The disease-risk allele of rs130651 was significantly associated with increased gene expression levels of PDGFB in multiple tissues (best eQTL p=1.8 × 10−11 in whole blood) and immune cells (best eQTL p=7.1 × 10−20 in T-cells). PDGFB expression was observed to be higher in AMD cases than AMD controls {fold change (FC)=1.02; p=0.067}, as well as in the peak COVID-19 symptom stage (11–20 days after the symptom onset) compared to early/progressive stage (0–10 days) among COVID-19 patients over age 40 (FC=2.17; p=0.03) and age 50 (FC=2.15; p=0.04). Our MR analysis found that the liability of AMD risk derived from complement system dysfunction {OR (95% CI); hospitalization=1.02 (1.01–1.03), infection=1.02 (1.01–1.03) and increased levels of serum cytokine PDGF-BB {β (95% CI); critical illness=0.07 (0.02–0.11)} are significantly associated with COVID-19 outcomes. Our study demonstrated that the liability of AMD is associated with an increased risk of COVID-19, and PDGFB may be responsible for the severe COVID-19 outcomes among AMD patients.
