Would have been interesting if they had released these as AIOs.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your Radeon VII.

I am waiting on the Eiswolf AIO for this card as I think I got lucky on the Silicon lottery and can get a lot more out of my card.

HBM at 1200 always

Stock voltage is 1038mv
I can run 1801mhz stock clock stable at 930mv, jt stays under 90
1900 at 970, jt stays under 100
2000 at 1038 (my stock mv) at this point I get junction temps of 110 so I don’t want to push it any harder to avoid meltdown.

Seeing as some people are putting 1100-1200mv through their cards I am expecting to be able to hit 2100-2200+ if I can keep the thermals in check and maybe use that power limit edit that someone mentioned.

Someone hurry up with the AIO, I can’t afford a block and loop right now!

Agreed they almost could have gotten away with charging £800-900 and only selling an AIO version placing it firmly above a 2080 and close to a 2080ti for 200-300 pound less.

Well as the saying goes "3rd time lucky"
My 3rd Sapphire card arrived yesterday. The card is actually screwed together correctly! YAY! 1063mv default voltage too. Happy @ 963mv in Timespy/ extreme stress tests (20 loop test).
My alphacool block should be with me next week with a bit of luck so I should be up and running shortly.

That's some juicy mv you got there.what's your timespy gpu score?

Excellent news, what are your temps like now you are screwed down nice? Any different to before

I saw the highest junction temp in Firestrike stress test. That really nails the card very hard, more so than Timespy! 113C!
That was @ stock 1063mv though.

When you say stock, do you literally just put the mv to 963 or do you add power limit and memory mhz?

nashathedog · 28 Mar 2019 at 14:09

I just tried a bit of overclocking with the voltage increased to 1101mv, I didn't play around with the clocks I just put the core to 1900mhz and memory to 1100mhz and got playing with the power limit at 20% and a custom fan curve, I spent over an hour playing the second stage in the Call of Duty World War 2 campaigns and it was fine, I'll start testing higher clocks sometime but at leasy I now know this isn't a total lemon. I was surpised to hear no increase in noise even with the voltage up at 1101mv but I did see temp's increase with a peak of 112 on the junction and 75 on the core, The junction spent most of it's time between 100 & 105 so not that big an issue as it did the same numbers with my undervolt, In wattman it showed a peak core of 2026mhz & 1206 mhz on the memory. Most of the time the core sat in the high 1800's with occasional dips as I've come to expect with the Vega cards.

Anyone with a meaty clock (preferably under water) care to throw up their timespy basic scores? Just comparing. Went 2080ti in the end but would be curious how close you get as I almost went radeon VII.

Firestrike Ultra or Extreme?
Was that with default fan speed settings?

I just dropped the voltage from 1063 to 963mv. No other changes.

Just loaded the runs up from yesterday. The tests where run @ Ultra.
Fire Strike Ultra Stress Test

All default fan.

.
I ran Firestrike Ultra Stress test @ 1800/1200Mhz, @0.979v (default 1.089v) and a custom fan profile, fan RPM maxed out around 2600 and saw a max junction temp of 99C after the test.

That's sounds to match up very closely to what I found. The 113C test was @ 1063mv and the rest I think where with the undervolt 963mv. I noticed the temps where down and the fan spun less.
I'd be happy on water with 940-950mv (seems like you save 25mv ish from a previous post) for stock speeds. And see how far 1000-1020mv gets me with frequency. My Vega 64 was solid @ 1677/1100hbm at +50% power 1120mv. So I'll be happy to get more for less like I did before!

Illuminist · 28 Mar 2019 at 17:18

If i just lower the mv I can go down to 951mv and pass the fire strike ultra stress test with 99.7%
