RX Vega Owners Thread, Tests, Mods, BIOS & Tweaks !

Last try i made, 1075mv, uped the core target to 1650, now i get around 1600MHz 66-67ºC.

Passed a 3dmark stress test. 1075mv core target 1650.

Spoiler

I dont get this, now with a Firestrike extreme test. Why cant clock stay at 1600? Same config as above. Started around 1400-1500, maxed at 1600 second test for some time, then back to the 1550.

edit: Could be the power target? Got it at 25%... ill try with 50%.

Spoiler

Yep, it was de power target.

Spoiler

Dont know if its worth the 50% power. W tops at 250 for the first test.

Where is the sweet spot? What would you do?

 

It’s all about thermals not power it will always adjust to stay within its Temp Target. You can see it under Advanced in GPUZ. The BIOS is set for 70C mine will peak at 75C

 

Goiur how does it compare with Fury X? Bring us some firestrike/timespy benchmarks

 

Vega56 1075mv core target 1600 but real speed around 1565, 25% power.

Firestrike. In this one Vega hit a power wall, so clocks were lower in the first and combined test.

If I remember rightly, with Polaris and Vega, in wattman you can set the minimum powerstate to P6 and/or P7 (by clicking on the powerstate itself) this should help minimise clocks jumping around so drastically, the car will still throttle back though if it's exceeding thermal or power limits

 

First things first...welcome to the club.

Now, for the real questions:

Running FS on my V56 Pulse:

Graphics Score: 23462
Physics Score: 18582
Combined Score: 5987 (???)
Gr. Test 1: 114.5fps
Gr. Test 2: 91.98fps
Ph. Test: 58.99fps
Comb. Test: 27.85fps (???)
Score: 17623

Can anyone explain this to me? Every score higher, except combined...how?

 

FuryX benchamark was made in a fresh restart, Vega's was not, so probably background programs had something to do with it

 

That Fury X still performans admirably. If i was closer i would snatch that thing from you at 150$.

 

FuryX pump is almost dead, unless you plan to place it in a custom loop, the fix could be more expensive than expected lol

 

Are you seeing same behavior in all games ?
And when the clocks are fluctuate what happenens with your FPS.? If clocks and FPS are going down simultaneously you are power limited. If not then it's normal. As Omna saying it's the AI doing his job

 

OP Updated (Post no.2)

^^ Best Power target for me is +8% Up to +25% (Higher is for FireStrike runs, 28k was with +25%)
All in all, it depends on Work-Load.
For:
HBM2 @ 925-1000MHz (If Samsung, then Mod/Tweak it to V64 to have HBM2 voltage at 1.356v)

Good Optimised Games use 1560-1630MHz (P6-P7) 0%
Normal Games use 1592-1650MHz (P6-P7) +8%
Hardcore encumbered DX11 games (like AC: O) use 1592-1672 (P6-P7) +12%

Also is good to Tweak some P-states in OverdriveN Tool
For P0-P5 You can easily go way lower on MHz

Note:
1. HBM2 can be OC'ed all't'time -> Free Performance
2. In OverdriveN Tool P6 & P7 at 852MHz for Net Browsing, watching Movies etc. (Max read is less than 1tW on average with 0-Core)

 

FPS are good, Its just me, those numbers going up and down drive me crazy lol

 

Do You guys know that FC5 uses DX12

Patch v1.0.241.0 notes:

Fixes for crashes and hangs that could occur when interacting with specific items.
Improvements to MultiGPU stability.
Improved usability of voice-chat feature (for co-op multiplayer).
Fixes for stereoscopic 3D when using DX12.
Fixes for crashes on startup we have seen reported by some players, on particular configurations.
Restructuring of game-data to reduce disc space usage and to allow for a smaller download size for new players.

 

hehe i can understand Tip: just disable clocks view in overlay. Only show FPS j.

 

Vega XTX LC (As i said +10FPS minimum)

 

OverdriveNtools settings are reset after reboot? I think yesterday i left custom settings on my Vega and today Overdrive shows default settings.

 

Sapphire vega 64 for 340 Usd

Today only 11/21/2018 from 8AM to 8PM EST Ebay is offering a 15% off coupon (PICKFAST) at checkout using the mobile app making it $340. For those curious it’s still being sold by Newegg through their Ebay store. It’s not clear whether you still get to take advantage of the 3 Game Bundle, but you definitely get it over at the Newegg site.

 

Yes just got myself one for CDN $600 at newegg.ca.

Also got a morpheus II cooler to put on, instead of the reference one.

So I see lots of information regarding uv/oc for vega. What should be starting point?

In GPU-Z I see a max voltage of only 1.05v at load. Is that correct, as I think out of the box volts should be around 1.2? What is a reliable tool to monitor volts?

Ran a few heaven loops and the frequency remains in 1570-1580 range. The cooler is loud though which I am going to be replacing anyway.

Good to be back to AMD after all that NVidia bs lately. The radeon settings seems light years ahead of the nvidia control panel (which still has XP UI in some parts).

Will be using the 1060 as a backup gpu. Cheers

 

@OnnA, another victim.... with the custom cooler you are allowed soooo much room for tweeking, i found my sweet spot at 1630
others have found 1782+ it really depends on the luck of the draw on your bin. or does it? honestly i dont think we know the limits of these cards yet. every single week we get new drivers that seem to give + 2-3% performance across the board, im running BFv damn near ultra everything 4k 60 fps, freesync and chill 58-70.

 

Battlefield™ V -> Ne01 OnnA Settings Guide

For Vega, make sure You have HBCC On (HBM2 Cache), all Quality/Default in Adrenalin !
Do not use Adrenalin FPS Cap (Turn it off for BF1/BFV), Tesselation at Optimized, Shader cache can be set to On.

Here screen for my Settings (i do not like Low, I have skill besides you'll miss all the GFX Beauty of the Game)

Spoiler: Settings

In order to remove Blurrrrrr & add some FPS Cap (for FreeSync)
Make this file User.cfg in Game dir with shown commands (adjust to Your PC, edit w/Notepad):

Spoiler: User.cfg

PerfOverlay.DrawFps 0
render.DrawScreeninfo 0
GameTime.MaxVariableFPS 70
RenderDevice.RenderAheadLimit 3
WorldRender.MotionBlurEnable 0

Note:
Game runs stable w/Flat 70FPS all the time.
Visibility is good, You can see opponents clearly.
No noticeable input Lag.
