Quick Question:

Can an RX590 be crossfired with an RX480?

No.

@LtMatt Nope, still getting same issue, WTF. Ticket in shortly.

I can't figure out why i don't see this issue with my Vega 64.

Does it do it without ReLive running?

Using the new driver it's still recording only at 43FPS when at my monitors native res of 3440x1440 even if FPS are sky high.

Issue is still under investigation, will be called out in the releases notes once fixed.

I just reinstalled my Vega 64 and still do not see this issue Tony. Hopefully we get some more reports which might shed some light on the issue.

Yep, it's clearly not a widespread issue, I've only seen one other person in this forum with the same bug and they said they didn't raise the ticket (just rolled back to 19.1.2). I wonder how many more out there just roll back and wait for the next driver hoping the issue is fixed. That's the problem here, it's only affecting a very small number of people on certain configurations clearly, which means it's going to be a long wait and more luck that it accidentally gets fixed over time I bet.

I did put the ticket in anyway, also posted on the AMD support drivers forum with the video, no one answered or tried to help so meh not expecting any fix on this one for quite a while.

From memory in talking to Shanks when he got his card middle of last year, he was getting the same thing happen on his. His memory would tank all the time to 800mhz, it happened for a few drivers I think but eventually the issue seemed to resolve itself on a newer driver. At least I think that was what happened in talking to him several times.

It couldn't have anything to do with the Bios version that I flashed on to the card could it?

Dn't think so. You are using this version right?

Latest GPU-Z (17.0) is reading my Vega 56 clocks all wrong, using 16.0 again. 17.0 seems to be making the core clock fluctuate a lot, unlike previous versions.

@TonyTurbo78

Have you tried a clean install of Windows and installing nothing but Radeon Settings and 3DMark and then checking to see if you still get the same issue?

TonyTurbo78 said:
No mate, that's the absolute extreme last thing to do isn't it haha.

And regarding the bios version, yes that exact same bios version

Might be the next step.

TonyTurbo78 said:
surely if there was something in the OS or something that's on my system, that bug would be noticeable right across every driver version

Don't know, but that's the only suggestion I've got for now. :/

LtMatt · 1 Mar 2019 at 17:14

So it's happening with the LQ BIOS but on the reference air Vega? :eek:

LtMatt · 1 Mar 2019 at 17:18

TonyTurbo78 said:
It would appear so, we are getting closer

Hope it's not the case because BIOS modification = unsupported config.

LtMatt · 1 Mar 2019 at 17:24

TonyTurbo78 said:
Why would it only now be a case with the 19.2.x drivers though? It's weird

No idea Tony.

LtMatt · 2 Mar 2019 at 08:13

^ Glad to see you found the solution.

No way I'd be able to convince anyone to look at fixing an issue caused by flashing a different BIOS.

LtMatt · 2 Mar 2019 at 09:23

TonyTurbo78 said:
nope probably not, you gotta admit though, it's very strange that we all had the issue with that bios on a ref card yet yours on the genuine LC64 was fine.

I'm getting incredible performance back on the stock bios though, I was not expecting that.

Not really actually, the Liquid Edition BIOS was not designed for the air reference Vega.

TonyTurbo78 said:
Keep us posted, things are working amazing here now, it's actually running better on the 8706 stock bios compared to the 8774 LC bios. Maintaining higher average stable clocks when gaming, about 9c down on temps when under extreme load also.

So far this has actually worked out better in the long run believe it or not.

Who would've thought using the BIOS designed for the GPU pays benefits, hey Tony?

LtMatt · 2 Mar 2019 at 20:18

TonyTurbo78 said:
Haha I know right. We are all tinkerers at heart Matt, putting the LC bios onto the card once in the loop was only done to really allow for stretching the cards legs at 1750hmz and up with a higher power ceiling. But seeing as those benches have been done, then I'm more than happy to run cool and fast at 1700/1100 now which can easily be done with much lower voltage as you well know.

Perfect resolution.

Suppenkoch said:
Someone knows if LC bios problems on air card got fixed ?

No and it's not going to be, use the original BIOS that shipped with the GPU.

..has been updated to

Apart from the dates, what would the difference be?

@LtMatt Matt, is there any indicator if and when Antilag is ON? I press ALT+L and there is no indicator. Except the placebo effect, probably, except if within 24h after 8 years playing WOT, I cannot miss a single lead shot having 100% success rate.

I believe when you launch the game you will hear a noise if it is enabled. You can also check via the Radeon Overlay menu to see if it is enabled.

Panos said:
@LtMatt can you shed some light on @DragonQ issues with the AMD drivers? Apparently his custom settings are not maintained after restart.
Last time I had these issues were with the GTX1080, and had to turn off the fast start from Windows.

Looks like he found the cause, third party software.
