Trying to get my reaper through time spy but not liking -150mv +100 core. Heat isn't an issue must be silicone quality. Doh

Try with +0 on core with -150mv, if you are going for big undervolt then dont touch core, if you want higher +core give it more power. I've got +500 core -75uv, 2766 (2750 after offset) Fast Ram 10% power stable but it seems the performance is better with +0core and -150uv same ram settings. Still testing.

Gigabyte Aurous Elite 9070xt + 9800x3d.

Timespy Extreme GFX 16248 with 170uv

Timespy Extreme GFX 15904 with +500core

the reaper doesnt like anything under 100mv,
upto 26k with +125 on core

I scored 26 095 in Time Spy

First AMD GPU I have been excited for since preordering my r9 290. Feels good to be back

That's made me try and remember by last time on AMD.

Think I was 980Ti - 1080 - 3070FE - 3090FE

Not been on AMD since 7970 I don't think. Happy to give them some cash, I like the direction AMD have taken - solid midrange card, decent amount of VRAM, actually exists.

"Average clock frequency2,594 MHz"

low clock speed, shouldn't these things all be doing 3ghz+

I’m not sure a non XT boosts that high?

Crossfire 7970's... ah those were the days, am I old or was those times way more exciting for PC gaming?

Is it software limit, clock slider won't go that high?

Loving all these Timespy benches.

Granted your CPUs are better and as such upping your scores but you're kinda matching and betting my 5070TI but one thing is for sure ... you'll never beat the price +£300 :cry:

Upping the core clock will not do anything if the GPU is already thermal throttling. It simply cannot boost any further. It’s also why the boost clocks can change based on how demanding a game is on the GPU. More demanding games cause more heat and lower boost clocks (generally).

- Set a lower core voltage
- Increase Fan speed
- Set a higher power limit

Any one (or all) of these might affect core clocks.

That's the thing though, it's not thermal throttling. It's barely reaching over 60-65c depending on the bench or game. Ideally it has a load of headroom to go further but undervolting is the only thing that seems to do anything to increase the core clocks. This is also with max power limit 110 set so there must be something in the Vbios that's not configured right imo. Waiting to see what Debauer comes back with on a follow up video.

I have a lowly 13500. Not exactly top tier. But I'm trying to wring the next of this reaper. Upto +200 on core now. N playing with memory a bit. Been a while since played around with timespy. Christ I'm 56yrs, so done my time overclocking :cry:

Yes, exciting indeed, nearly had heatstroke a few times :cry:

Haha also when electricity costs didnt even cross your mind

My apologies, I should have said TDP throttling and thermal. In order for the boost clocks to increase you need to have the TDP overhead.

This is achieved by reducing the voltage, or increasing the TDP power limit. The temperatures are important because the card still needs to be kept cool of course.

I know it's all subjective but I genuinely find the Steel Legend to be one of the nicest looking 9070XTs.

One of my most psychopathic builds was a tri-fire setup with a 295x2 and a single 290x. I recall it even tripping my bohemith Ethermax 1500w PSU from time to time. All in a custom oak case that looked like an antique radio (that is now part of the decor of a bar in Brooklyn).

It was way more fun back in the day. mGPU, eyefinity, unlocking shaders to make your mid-range GPU high range...

If mGPU was still a thing, I definitely ha e dual 9070 xts now.

I just did a -100mv and left everything else stock and the card is boosting higher. AMD says the boost clock on a non XT is 2.7, so I think the card is about right?
