That's a great result. Does it actually stay around 1667 MHz or does it drop below this?
I might try pushing mine just to see how much extra performance I can squeeze out of it in the future if it ever starts struggling with newer games.

Sorry I haven't even installed mine but is that undervolted? How hot/what's the power draw like? Fingers crossed I will get a similar result as our specs are similar.
Stock is 1150/1200 mV so that is undervolted.
Inspired by @thebennyboy, mine seems happy at 1652 MHz @ 1000 mV. Since my "Cool N Quiet" profile uses 1000 mV for P7 anyway I guess I can bump up the clocks.
I don't really understand how P6 and P7 states work. If I set P6 and P7 to 1652 MHz @ 1000 mV, the card sits at 1630 MHz, fine. If I change P6 to 1602 MHz @ 950 mV, it sits at 1580 MHz...I would expect it to be somewhere between the P6 and P7 frequencies, no? Also, power usage doesn't seem to be solely dictated by voltage. I can run 1652 MHz @ 1000 mV and @ 950 mV and get the same performance and power usage, which is weird.

Hmm not so far, sorry.
Cool N Quiet v2:
P6: 950 mV, 1627 MHz
P7: 1000 mV, 1652 MHz
HBM: 960 MHz
Power Limit: +50%
GPU Score: 7061 (+9.1% compared to stock)
Peak Sustained Core Clock: 1580 MHz
Peak Sustained Power Usage: 165 W
3% more power (+5 W) for 2.5% more performance. As soon as the sustained core clock approaches 1600 MHz (which seems to require the average of P6 & P7 to be 1650+ MHz), power usage shoots up considerably.
have to check logs if a program interfere or some other issue is going on.
You can check gamer nexus when he remove the power limit for the vega 56 card and went beyond the 2070.
The power draw is not recommended tho
Only programmes I have open are Steam, Uplay and Siege (one of the games that keeps crashing with no log or error).
windows have logs for events.
seems the game is likely the cause but you want to check windows logs to exclude your hardware/software as reasons.
Do you have monitoring software running like Rivatuner Statistics Server? That can cause such issues, especially if it is out of date. Otherwise, maybe try a DDU and driver reinstall?
Yeah I've seen that actually, pretty crazy. Personally I'm not interested in pure performance though, just looking for the best realistic performance with reasonable power consumption and temperatures. It does seem as though the process really holds the Vega architecture back though; it'd probably be a total beast on 7 nm!You can check gamer nexus when he remove the power limit for the vega 56 card and went beyond the 2070.

Are any overlays like from steam activated, it might be that that's causing your issue.
Turn them off and try again.
No, no monitoring software. Seems odd as it only happens on certain games, I ran DOOM and it was fine playing for a solid 20 minutes whereas the other games (Siege, POE, seem to crash within the first couple of minutes.
Also, I got this yesterday after tweaking using some figures posted in this thread over the last few pages.

These cards are great - really impressed.

trouble shooting can be difficult.
remove any overclocks on cpu/gpu
try play.
check logs if any weird windows software of hardware error happens a lot.
run memory checks.
update any drivers, chipset, gpu other devices.
check bios version on mboard, if old, get the latest and flash it.
In essence you want to check if its a hardware or a software issue.

I'd start with running a benchmark like Heaven, it basically taxes only the GPU and it's a good way to check that the GPU is running stable, at the right clocks, not overheating etc. And if you are using the settings from the threads here on the forum you can also compare performance against the numbers of others.
Use a benchmark like Firestrike to also tax the CPU.
Once you can run the benchmark(s) without issues for a good amount of time you could try the games.

Going through all the checks now to eliminate any hardware issues. Will report back later.
Ran Heaven for a little while earlier with some settings from above and the temps and everything looked stable and friendly, no issues with the benchmark in that regards. Will try firestrike next though.
