The Radeon VII Owners Thread
- Thread starter Kaapstad
- Start date
I noticed fluctuations with the division 2 beta over the weekend. Was also using Wattman to measure stats.

Release notes are your friend.Can anyone with a VII tell me if they're seeing this sort of irratic core speed fluctuations when gaming please this example is in Dirt Rally 2.0

If you're going all out and already have a loop it'd make sense to put it under water but a properly prepped stock cooler is within 7.8% of the Firestrike graphics score WR. Maybe I have a golden chip but I'm hitting 2025/1200 @ 1134mv. I can run FS tests up to 2110 @ 1175 but it's not as stable.

I don't get it all the time but I do see a lot of oddites,
Hover over what, GPU-Z? If so have you got the latest version? It was like you said with the last one but the new one seems okay in that respect.Illuminist said:
I can't overclock my core beyond 1849 without it crashing when gaming which is disappointing, I can put it a lot higher for benches but an extra 48hz for stable day to day use isn't much of an overclock,
That said when you compare claimed clockspeeds of both the 14nm & 7nm Vega cards we had Raj Koduri's 14nm Vega's struggling to reach the claimed stock speeds of 1630mhz even after undervolting & overclocking etc & in comparison Lisa Su stated the VII would clock up to 1800mhz which it does comfortably so I can't complain really. Plus it's performance on my 3440x1440 Freesync monitor is faultless.
It's not a concern now I know it's a false reading so that's good,
& I didn't know we had a new driver, Yay.

Is that what you typed in as the settings or what you get it running at?

Voltage at 1134mv with the stock cooler? Wow! Is it just me or is that way too high on air?
I've gone in the opposite direction, at stock mines 1066mv but I have it at 1033 mv, I increased it a little over 1066mv to do some overclocking tests but it didn't really help stability & I wasn't willing to push as far as 1100mv or more plus I prefer low noise levels so I've settled at 1849 on the core with 1025mv & 1080 on the memory, I can put the memory at up to 1200 but it gets hot & it's not 100% stable in everything as it depends on the game I'm playing so 1849/1080 seems to be the sweet spot for stability, heat, noise & performance as it usually stays above 1800mhz like that. I've limited my fan to a max of 61% but it only goes that fast occasionally.

I noticed about an hour ago after looking at the Vega VII page and saw that there was stock in. Double checked my email and boom there was the email confirmation.
A weekend of testing me thinks...

Just ordered the Sapphire so should hopefully be with me on Monday. Should be a decent upgrade from my 970.

Looking like you've got to a nice point with your settings on the current drivers. You're spot on regarding HBM and high temps. Half the issues people have had will more than likely be down the high HBM temps.
My Vega 64 is on its way to Czech Republic, so my system has been stripped and half back together. Another day finishing the rebuild and I'll be ready for the VII to go into the loop! (Just need a block first)

It'd be good to hear how your VII compares on air against when it's blocked, Achievable clocks & voltages, I was going to do a custom build after the Ryzen 3000 releases but I'm wondering if I should bother including the VII, In fact if I don't intend to put a block on the VII I might not bother at all as my 2700x is cooled with a GTX 100i AIO and temps are really good at 4.25ghz so if my VII's not worth it I may stick the AIO on the Ryzen 3000.
