Hello all,

Just wanted to share my experience. I currently have 2 MSI 5700XT Evoke. I know lot's of peeps don't like the Evokes but they are working pretty well for me. I have another one on the way and 3 Sapphire Pulse 5700 XT's. I will update when they get here next week.

I have also used CM exclusively till now. So learning how to tweak PM. Also selling most of my cards and replacing them with 5700 XT's.

Both cards have had there 1500 bios straps copied all the way down for both memory types.

Here is my experience with the 5700 XT's mining under Windows 10 with all updates: (using PM 5.1c, and many different drivers)
With the straps copied, it hashed at 52.xx Mh/s with stock settings and used 240 watts. If I tried to change any settings (voltage, core, memory) it will crash. I tried changing settings with MSI Afterburner, OverdriveNtool and Radeon setting that came with the driver. It doesn't matter which one I used, it will crash as soon as I change any settings.

So I decided to try SMOS. I have been mining since 2017 but it's been awhile since I used SMOS. SMOS is also using PM 5.1c:
It took a little tweaking, but I think I got it stable and running well. I have both cards hashing at 54.7ish. It is using 280 watts at the wall with both cards attached. My settings are 1342 core 900 mem and 1313 mvdd.

I will attach pictures.

I hope this helps someone.
