July 11, 2023 RADEON AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.7.1 (hereinfollowing referred to as Radeon 23.7.1 driver) fixed a bug that caused high idle power consumption on the Radeon RX 7000 series. how low did it go? Since its launch in December 2022, the Radeon RX 7000 series has had a known issue with high idle power consumption when using high resolution/high refresh rate monitors. And in July 2023, it was noted that this bug was finally fixed in the Radeon 23.7.1 driver. The release notes state: Fixed an issue where some 4K @ 144Hz FreeSync monitors and multi-monitor configurations (4K @ 144Hz or 4K @ 120Hz + 1440p @ 60Hz, etc.) caused high power consumption during idle in Radeon RX 7000 series environments. German media PC Games Hardware verified how much power consumption was reduced compared to the previous driver. Here are the results. Radeon RX 7900 XTX idle power consumption 23.7.1 vs. 22.12.2 Gravo: Radeon RX 7900 XTX (reference specs) Monitor: Viewsonic XG320U, Acer 27-FHD-144-C Although it is decreasing, the result was that power consumption increased in many configurations. In particular, the higher the refresh rate monitor, the higher the power consumption. Of course, these are only the results in the PC Games Hardware environment, so the results may differ depending on the graphics board and monitor used. If you’re looking to install the Radeon 23.7.1 drivers in hopes of lower idle power consumption, or have already installed them, beware. Be sure to check whether it is actually lowered with GPU-Z etc.
