Got my card running P6 1542/1000mv P7 1652/1100mv HBM 1055/1000mv and it seems stable, run Timespy multiple times with no crashes, but in POE it will crash to desktop, so i have set a seperate profile for that now to reduce the P6 and P7 by 10 each and reduce the HBM by 15, and set FRTC to 90fps, that seems to have helped.

Can't run 1652 @ 1100mv... Are the temps getting too high?

Ok, just pulled the trigger on a sapphire Nitro Vega 64 as the price has come down again to £430 from £479. Now, the first I want to do is undervolt but I've not got a clue how to use wattman and I have no idea about these various "P" states I've seen, do these represent various frequencies and voltages are adjusted up or down for these frequencies? Basically I'm not someone who wants to spend time fiddling with voltages, so a simple piece of software that'll do the job, reduce heat, avoid throttling, would be fine.

Wait until the big driver update in that case as it will auto under volt according to sources on the interweb, should be a long any day now I would imagine.

Hey guys, I bought a Red Devil Vega 64 that should arrive tomorrow. Can any one briefly run me through how to down-volt it? like a screenshot of the settings etc?

Also, should I use AMD drivers or MSI AB or something?

TIA !

Edit. I was going to start a thread "Vega advice" but realised pretty quickly most of the replies would be "Send it back" :D

I'm coming from a Fury X that continually finds itself short of VRAM, so it's quite a hike.

I just recently got my vega 64 after using the vram limited Fury X as well! You will not be disappointed!!!

Use Wattman, MSI AB isn't needed.
I have posted on previous pages settings however today (13/12) new drivers are coming out with a lot of changes.

That's an OpenGL only setting though.



Well, that works for SC at least, got to admit I've never used Chill before. Thanks for that :)

It doesn't help with an answer as to why enabling vsync now limits my fps to 38 though, or whether anyone else is seeing that as well. :(

This happened to me. You might need to get into the old school display settings and set your monitor refresh rate there.
Assuming W10, Right click desktop > Display settings > Display adapter properties > Monitor tab > Set monitor refresh rate.

Thanks (and thanks for other replies guys). I've got a Titan XP in my main driver but yeah, Fury X in rig at my mother's where I stay a lot in winter (my flat is like a sieve and freezing). Yeah 4gb is holding me back, because I drive the screen I have there (Apple cinema 20") at 1600p. So games like FC5 can spike and send me into the low 20s. Not often, mind, and it does do a very valiant job, but yeah time to upgrade. I've had that Fury X since launch.

Oh yeah one more Q. Does the Red Devil have the pad issue? and should I re-paste it? it's not new I bought it used here.

My monitor is already set to 75Hz, no issues there. This 38 fps thing is something recent.
