    When you see that your VRAM mem clocks are staying at max even when the GPU is idling, just turn on and off the Virtual Super Resolution at the Display section of the radeon software.

    Sure, because it resets 60 Hz for the monitor. I have the problem with 75 Hz only.

    I don't understand

    Do you have Navi10 based card?

    No, but I have the same issue in IDLE when I set 75 Hz refresh rate. As I know 5700 cards have the same problem when the refresh rate is not "the standard" 60 Hz.

    Have you checked your refresh rate after setting On and Off the Virtual Super Resolution?

    What's your monitor?

    Can you post your CRU settings for your monitor, select the resolution/refresh rate and show its setting. Like below.

    The Creator is correct! That solution returns the monitor refresh rate to 60Hz and this lowers mem clocks to 200Hz. So, the solution isn't valid as I thought. Thanks for the info!

    UPDATE: It still is the same odd problem that makes VRAM clocks max out if the monitor isn't working on 60Hz or 120Hz. Having the monitor at 75Hz or 144Hz creates that.

    Finally, I did it! :)

    After many tries I succeeded! With standard timings (just to increase from 60 to 75 Hz) it didn't work. But after many tests with manually set magic numbers I found a working combination! :)

    My 5700 stays at 200Mhz in idle (but it's with old 20.4.2 drivers). I will check again when newer drivers come out.

    Aaaand just tried new 21.01.1 and indeed it's true, VRAM is stuck to max at 75Hz.
    Before going back to 20.4.2 I tried with CRU, and in my case setting Native (PC) was enough to fix the VRAM clock with my display at 75MHz.

    I can confirm this on Iiyama GB3466WQSU-B1 34" UWD 144Hz.
    I just had to lower the frequency to keep pixel clock on similar value (764MHz, without it monitor didn't work well)

    I see that most of you just lower 1-2 Hz down and it does the trick. But I wanted to keep my maximum of my monitor. So first I made the usual trick with 1 Hz down - from 75 to 74 (left pic) and it worked. Then I switch to manual mode and I increased to almost 75 back. Of course it increased the "Pixel clock" too. So the magic was how to make this "Pixel clock" back down to 301.92 (from the left pic) and to keep 75 Hz. I had to change manually "Black Porch" couple of values. I tried a few values until I found combination which leads to 301.92 clock. Then I check this settings if they make the VMEM frequency goes down.

    I just also played with CRU again (but mainly because of VA panel flickering) and I found, that I'm able to use higher pixel clock, but I have to lower FreeSync range (from 144Hz to 140Hz). This remove the stuttering in windows but it also finally removed the blinking, what I tested few scenes.

    My monitor's pixel clock went up quite a bit setting Native (PC), but it's as close to 75Hz as it can be and it works fine.

    Yes it all has to do with the Vertical Blanking, either higher or lower in increments 1.

    "Exact" also works for my monitor keeping the VRAM at idle values, and without a higher pixel clock.

    Hello, i did that thing and it FIX memory clock, now at iddle my gpu stay at 200MHZ


    BUT, i have a problem, when i set my screen to go off after some minutes (like the image)
    [​IMG]

    Then, when i wake up the screen, it gives me a "No Signal" and i have to turn it off in monitor button, then turn it on and at same time i have to spam some keys at keyboard to wake up it.

    There is any way to fix it? And why that happens?

    Thanks

    you can use "LCD standard" preset, should do the work without entering any number
    for me it worked for my rx580+144hz display, but sometime with some driver it causes an error when the monitor had to woke up from sleep/standby
