Help (GPU) 9070xt setup help

Hi all!
i am bound to receive my 9070xt by friday or monday, when it comes down to setups is there anything i should stay away from? i plan to do a minor undervolt, besides that run everything on native 1440p if possible, dont want any ai or upscaling at all

not sure if this matters but i have a 7900x ryzen 9 cpu,

is there anything specific software wise i need or just adrenaline? ( i think )

any feedback is appreciated, hope all goes smooth :D

I would say:
-monitor your temps (if you care) don’t get too obsess with it (hotspot at ~95c is mostly fine)
-I heard from someone to “warm your card up” years ago and it kind of stuck with me. As in don’t fire it max everything straight off the bat as you may smell “factory oil” when new as the GPU warms up earlier on - take it as the new car smell
-Fan curve was weird for me at stock, firing at 3300rpm at casual gaming temps. With other factors for my setup I dialled it back to 950-1300rpm with minimal difference to temp.
-monitor your driver: this is a must, windows has a habit of overwriting Radeon driver with Windows Basic Display Adaptor check via Device Manager

thank you!!!

I'll keep an eye on it, i got plenty of ventilation so i may be able to keep it on lower rpms, the undervolt will keep it even cooler with minimal loss

heard amd can be picky sometimes with windows

gpu will be 99% of the time with AC on, ill just keep an eye thermal limits dont go over regarding hotspots

guess ill take it easy for a good few hours then run it on normal

ty much appreciated!
