I just buy a RX 6700 xt (my first AMD GPU) is second hand,can you advice me any test for check if everything is ok?

Hi ,i buyed from a good site a 6700xt with only 1 month of use (the reference version of AMD)

will take like 3 days to come and i wanted be prepared for do some test for check if the card indeed have only 1 month of use and works properly! any advices? thanks AMD Community!

​

Not sure if you need more info but i have this
CPU: Ryzer 7 3800x

Ram: 16gb 3600mhz CL16

MotherBoard: X570 UD Gigabyte

You wont be able to tell if its only had 1 month of use or 10. Run benchmarks like 3dmark and compare your results to other 6700xt. Look for any artifacting or weird issues.

The best first thing you can do is spin the fans with your finger to check that they have that new fan freely spinning feeling and not any resistance to spinning. 1 month old fans should still spin like new. Also shine a flashlight inside and see how much dust has built up. A 1 month old card should have a modest amount you can blow out.

OCCT maybe. Superposition and Heaven benchmarks.

Generally if it runs as its supposed to today it will be fine for a long time. There is no telling how long it's been used or when it will die. It is usually 100% good or 100% not good.

So run benchmarks and compare to others online. Don't be worried if you're a little short of what you see. They are usually benchmarking with 10900 or 5950x which is going to give the gpu best possible chance. If you're within 10% you're good

The next big one will be Temps. That gpu is so new even if it mined 24/7 from day one it probably still will not need a repaste or new thermal pads. If you benchmark and gpu junction temp in under 100c and gpu average is under 80c it is within spec and will be fine most likely. (I know those Temps are high but within spec and common for low end AIB boards)

Congrats - the reference 6700XT is a beast, I would not want another model actually.

There are few things you can do to get the most out of it. My sample can do over 2.8Ghz in any game but it took few mods to get there.

The stock cooler is really good but the thermal compound needs to be replaced. I use Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut, it dropped temps over 10C.

MorePowerTool is your friend! At stock the card is starved for power with only 186Watts, and 213watts maxed out with WattMan. Increase it to 240watts with MPT. This will take it from 2.5 to 2.8Ghz.

Add thermal pads to the backplate and then you can add a heathink which will allow the card to sustain 2.8Ghz all day, every day. The one in the pic is $5 from amazon.

With the above cooling mods, it easily beats my 2080ti.

Enjoy!

If it freezes, crashes, stutters, artifacts, greenscreens, bluescreen, checkerscreens, locks up, causes reboots and more in that vein, then its a genuine AMG gpu functioning as expected.

recommend to run 3dmark if you have, if you dont i recommend superposition benchmark

All what mentioned is good, benchmarks and temps would tell if card is ok. I generally go further than that and overclock card to see where it can go. Most cards can do 5-10% OC no problem, so if it's stable at higher clocks it usually means that silicon is not degraded and it wasn't under heavy use 24/7. If it crashes on anything past stock frequency it's either card was heavily used(and probably OCed under high temps), or it's very unlucky bad bin, although such bins are as rare as gold ones they exist, in either case you wouldn't want one. Don't OC if don't know what you're doing, do some research first, it's generally safe, especially if you're doing it once, but as always there's some risks.

You should look up some benchmarks like timespy and just run a comparison. If it’s still new and warranty applies then you prolly shouldn’t worry about it.

Run MSI Kombustor with artifact checking enabled.
