Guys it doesn't matter if you never power off the PSU, Windows fast boot is invoked every single time Windows boots, cold or warm. Even with fast boot on, in some rare cases during a cold boot Wattman will load your previous settings fine. The problem is that with fast boot enabled, more often than not it causes Wattman to reset to defaults. It matters not if you power the PSU off or leave it on standby 24/7, that's a red herring.

If you want to be sure, turn off Windows fast boot PERIOD.

Noticed in crysis 3 that gpu usage with vsync enabled is so low that the clocks drop too far and the game runs poorly. I've had to crank the AA up and turn vsync off to keep the clocks up and even then the gpu usage still fluctuates a lot. I somewhat doubt that a 12c/24t threadripper running at 4GHz would be a bottleneck.
Is there a power mode like nvidida to force it to prefer maximum performance?

Radeon Chill if enabled will downclock the GPU. Other then that you can give higher power usage in Wattman to make sure the clocks stay at max
Soldato
Chill is off and power target is at +50. It's a usage problem as it should in principal fully utilise the gpu if vsync is switched off.

I had a recent issue where the card would run at 2d speeds all the time but it only happened using a few drivers not all. I uninstalled afterburner and it sorted it out.

@AMDMatt do you know of any reason why we cannot do VSR on 4K monitors beyond 5K ? I can plug in my backup GTX 770 and do DSR all the way up to 8K no problem if I want, For fun and screenies, Yet a brand new card like Vega64 does not have the option for VSR passed 5K.

@AMDMatt any news on the texture bugs affecting all Forza games? (Horizon 3, Forza Apex and Forza 7) i can't see any mention of it in fixed issues or known issues. Looks like a few are having issues also over on AMD support forums.

It's seems even more evident to me that Vega is going to mature like 'fine wine' as all recent AMD GPU's have.
And that's a good thing! With more DX12 and Vulkan games in the future it will have longer longevity than the 1000 series will.

I can test Horizons 3 mate any part of the map?
Soldato
During gameplay mate. Seen people on AMD support forum with that issue on Horizon3 And others on apex and F7. It's lots of purple squares appearing in place of textures on sections of the track, trees, buidings etc.

Will take a look tomorrow mate and report back my findings.

Seems like quite a few getting it, going by the link. Did this happen after the Windows update Tony? I not played the game for while now.
Soldato
First time I noticed tonight, but it' the first time I've played the game for quite a while so it possibly might be related to a Windows update. I get the same corruption on Horizon 3 and Forza 7, has to be something to do with the Forza engine.
Cheers mate, it' not much fun playing with a cycadelic circuit, it' like I'm back to my 90's hardcore rave days lol.

Any way to record gameplay in Wolfenstein 2 ? ReLive doesn't seem to work, It just records the desktop background and nothing else, Re-Live works fine in everything else.

That bug still exists where when you try to make the window bigger by dragging the corners results in the whole Radeon Settings crashing. Would have thought that would be an easy one to fix.
Oh yeah, it annoys me a lot. I hope they will fix it very soon
We're still looking at this one, for now you'll have to use an older driver if you want to play these games. Crimson 17.10.1 or .2 were the last working drivers AFAIK.
Is this with Windows 10 1709? If so it could be a Windows issue, since I know there's at least one other mouse bug with that version of Windows (where dragging and highlighting in certain applications causes the mouse to jump to the bottom-right corner of the screen).
