@LtMatt and FYI to everyone.

Fallout 76 has some perf issues with Vega 64. Nothing to be scared of, even if upgrading to 18.10.2 doesn't work.

You need to find the Fallout76Prefs.ini and set the following.
iPresentInterval=0 (unlock FPS)
bFull Screen=1
bBorderless=0

After that the game runs at 178fps (so you need cap limit on drivers) with some dips to 150 at 2560x1440 on Ultra preset.

With iPresentInterval=0 the game is a slideshow with the Vega 64 clocking 500Mhz HBM and 820-850Mhz core.

Tried this, no difference.
From what I could tell (via GPU-z) the 2nd BIOS is UEFI too, is that normal for stock BIOS or does the upgrade do both?

Is your card bought second hand? The FuryX was never shipped with UEFI BIOS.
When I upgraded my Nano & FuryX only 1 bios was upgraded not both. That is why it seems peculiar.

If you bought second hand, it might have the mining modded bios which is based on the UEFI. That would explain your issues.
Can you try to upgrade the BIOS to the one found from AMD website please? Then follow the steps with DDU in Safe mode (select both Nvidia & AMD drivers) then use Ccleaner to fix the registry (you need to run twice).
Then install the 18.10.2 drivers.

Also use the HWINFO and post here the clocks etc.

No, it was new.
Maybe I upgraded both BIOSes, but I don't think so. I was surprised when GPU-z had the UEFI box ticked.

Hmm. Are you sure you bought new card? No FuryX or Nano came with UEFI BIOS. What's your BIOS version?
Click to expand...
Unless OcUK were selling used cards as new at launch, yes.

I did flash the BIOS on both my Fury X cards, I didn't think/realise I did both BIOSes.
GPU-z reports the BIOS Version as 015.049.000.012.006448

ATIWinFlash reports the BIOS version as 113-C8800100-107

015.049.000.012.006448 is the UEFI BIOS.

Is the UEFI settings activated in the motherboard?

Can you flash 1 BIOS to 015.048.000.064.005990, switch over and reboot?

Have you used CCleaner? What temps you getting, and what are the operational clocks?
Have you tried to raise the power limit but leave everything else intact?

I believe the motherboard is set to UEFI, don't think I'm missing a setting. I believe the GTX 980 was UEFI and worked ok.
Is there somewhere I can get that BIOS?
I've not used CCleaner, still not sure why drivers would be affecting the BIOS screen. Idling temps are currently about 28ºC with 21%fan, usually get up to around 50ºC (ish) under load, not sure how much fan. Current clocks are 1050/500. I have Power limit set to +50% with everything else stock (except fan curve).

Install it on only 1 BIOS. Shutdown the PC, then reboot.

Vega users.. i need to know which is the latest driver that doesnt have this issue..

Known Issues
  • Radeon RX Vega Series graphics products may experience elevated memory clocks during system idle.


Had to go back to 18.5.1 for now, wish they would fix this, its annoying.
