The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

Just been playing DOOM, capped it to 80 with RTSS, as don't need 200fps

, my core was only doing around 1300, and my temp was only around 54

The plot thickens! decided to uninstall and reinstall drivers.... but using the latest optional ones, 17.11.4.

Just achieved my highest graphics score... whilst at stock settings.

54? on an LC card? Pretty hot isn't it?

Not really considering the size of the Rad. 40c etc you need a bigger Rad

I recon I can add a few points to my score.

I will give it a go tomorrow.

Actually CPU does not matter in Unigine Superposition, it's all about GPU muscle.

Go on then.

Combined Score

I'll let you have this victory Tony.

Done me by 3 points. Interesting how my graphics score is higher than yours but you're running 50mhz more on clock.

@Kaapstad nicely done mate epic score that.

For gaming purposes you are the one with the best score (graphics tests).

Yeah i was referring to G points. GPU usage was not at 99% solid throughout the bench, so even though i had higher clocks i think my score G was held back a little bit.

Is there anyone here who is a member of overclock.net forum? I need a bios powerplay table reg thing, I keep asking here but no one seems to reply/know.

I just want to increase PL from +50 to more , I have a reg tweak but it hasn't worked since 17.11.x drivers

The reason i ask is that on 64 Air bios at 1750 /1100 +100% PL i get a much better score than on the LC bios at 1750/1100 and MUCH lower temps also (76.c compared to 88.C on the hotspot)

If anyone can help I will buy them a beer/coffee/hotchocolate/donut/pretzel/teddybear.

Wattmatt can help maybe?

I wouldn't bother, i saw no gain at all in a few benches and games with higher than 50% power limit when i tried the 150% power limit reg tweak.

@gupsterg can probably point you in the right direction.

Thanks for the reply matt.

I only ask because i did my own testing and like i said, i can get 1750 core on the 64 air bios with this tweak and it performs faster than the Lc bios at the same clocks but with lower temps. Crazy but true i promise.
Problem is the reg file i used to use no longer works with the recent drivers.
Anynews on adrenalin ?

Could definitely have a benefit for an AC Vega, but no benefit for me on the LQ version.

No official news.

Be careful, if you add 50% to a LC BIOS the TDP will exceed the cards rated inputs (could theoretically damage the mobo or PSU).

Then I just need a working 64 Air powerplay registry thing to allow more than 50% someone must be able to help me pweeeeeezze

Is this true? Ive seen plenty of peeps on here and other forums that run 1250mv with +50% PL to break 1750mhz core. Not doubting you or anything, that does make total sense though.

The leaderboards need altering then as it's always been sorted by 3dmark score not the graphics score

All the same Vega64 is a great card really doesn't deserve all the hate. A little is justified but it' not a total failure, games are terrific on it.

TonyTurbo78 said:

In theory yes though that doesn't mean it will happen in practice. If you increase the power limit of a 264w TDP card by 50% that raises it to 396w, if the card only has power sources rated at a combined 375w (a pair of 8pin connectors rated at 150w each and a PCI-E slot rated at 75w) to draw it's power from that means allowing the card to run up to it's new power limit will exceed the spec on at least one of those sources.

Depends on the case temp and room temp. Benchmarks often say difference from ambient. Not sure 54 matters, depends on the highest of all 3 temps onboard

Yeah its not too bad that, i think the max is 70 before the throttling kicks in, highest ive seen is 65, and thats with my core hitting over 1700, plus ive not touched it, its still @ stock

What are your settings for getting 1800mhz on the core tony turbo (certainly earned the name) as soon as i set 1800 in wattmatt or some such program and run a bench mark it crashes instantly...

Haven't forgotten about you Matt, Im coming at you hard with a whooping with my v56 scores tonight
