The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

muziqaz said:
So I'm trying to challenge nvidias dominance in luxmark, but I see I will be failing in a minute. Funny thing is when I tried googling Vega 64 overclocking, resulted sites are posting 1700Mhz or 1716Mhz as overclocking achievement, while my sample runs happily at 1750Mhz@1100mV all day long, even folding. Is the a thread here with you guys overclocking successes and failures, or do I need to read the whole thread here?

Oh, before I forget:

It's true that most of the AOI cards don't seem to quite hit 1750 - I can get mine up to about 1730 when running Timespy but in games it's much more common to see the clock fluctuate between 1670 and 1715. There are more exceptional cards around that will go over 1750, AMDMatt from this forum has a card that will hit 1800+ and also TurboTony who has his ref air card under a custom water loop. Mind you we can all set the actual clock to 1750 in Wattman, it's just that the boost clock rarely goes that high. Is your card actually hitting 1750 when gaming/benching?

I have more demanding task to test GPUs, and that's folding@home ;) Whatever I set on wattman, it stays pinned when folding to that frequency ;)
and just for info: in folding Vega is quite close to 1080ti in quite a few projects while being on par with 1080 in others. This is a huge step up in folding, as previous gens were trailing big time to nvidia
 
What I do not like about wattman is AMDs fettish of percentage clock adjustment. What happened to good old MHz when clocking your cards? Also, why is cooler fan disregarding my set limits of max RPM?

You can toggle the switch in Wattman to change it from percentage adjustment to manual. Never heard of folding before by the way!

Folding@home is protein folding simulation. Been running since the beginning back in 2000s. It loads GPU to the max and uses all of its resources. For nvidia cards when people have rock solid stable OC of their cards in games and stress tests, folding at home brings them to their knees ;)
also they have new CPU core which uses AVX256, so that can pretty much work as stress tester on Intel CPUs(since AMD does not support 256b AVX, it fall back to SSE) ;)
 
You get up in the morning, turn on the PC after a week using a new graphics card...

The smell, what is that smell?
You notice smoke coming out of your computer!!!1111

Ahhh! Panic mode, the PC shuts down.
Open the windows!

You cannot see where the smoke originated from, but suspect the new hardware.

After further investigation, you find this:

This cable comes with the Corsair cube to connect the drives at the bottom. Some power/date connection.
Seems the power melted with the sata cable, there was some not working anyway SSD connected. The sata cable was not connected to the motherboard, I just left it there and this happens.
 
Not sure if performance gets worse latter on but Dishonoured 2 runs well on Vega.
Also all maxed out only turned down shadows to high to keep frame rate dropping under 60fps when overlooking large areas.

Playing this myself just now. Do you have it capped at 60 FPS? I ask because I'm getting a higher average than that at 3440x1440p with everything maxed (apart from motion blur). I have seen it dip into the late 40's once or twice but it usually sits at around 67 outdoors and over 100 sometimes indoors.

Yeah 60fps cap with adaptive Resolution turned off. This game just seems to play much smoother when its locked at 60fps i find.
 
Been playing Battlefield 1's Campaign and while it's fun, Vega64 seems to be having odd issues, 1 second it's running full load then the next is goes down to 30% usage, It's quite annoying, Latest drivers, Nothing running in the background, No OSD's, No frame limiting options enabled i.e V-Sync, Frame Rate Target Control etc....Tried running in DX11 and DX12 modes with a range of quality settings.
