The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

I contacted OCUK support in regards to the release date of the ASUS Vega 64 STRIX. The customer service agent said the supplier has put the release date back to January!!

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...
Click to expand...

P6 1600mhz @ 1100mv and P7 1825mhz @ 1230mv
HBM 1100mhz @ 950mv

PL+50%

1825mhz gave me between 1790mhz and 1805mhz when gaming. But here's the thing, don' know if you've seen my updates earlier. Since I've upgraded rig to 8700k and z370 from the z77 and 3770k, I can' get anywhere near 1800mhz. I'm now questioning whether those clocks were accurately reported. Every piece of software I ran (gpuz, Wattman, MSIAB and hwinfo64) showed when gaming or benching my card core was at 1800mhz. But I can't even get 1750mhz now stable even on 1250mv.

It' a bit weird.

Have you got an old firestrike score. You could check your graphics score before and after. If if it's higher before then your clocks were reporting fine as Graphics score doesn't appear to change much from Cpu to Cpu but obviously overall score would be up due to the Physics score on the 8700k.
 
Updated Firestrike to the latest, and gave it a run.

Not bad for a stock card, Graphics Score looks decent.

Beats my stock. Unsure how your combined knocks me for six when my physics is a lot higher than yours and my graphics isn't far off yours!

That's a ryzen problem. My threadripper 1920x scores worse than yours on combined but higher on physics.

Ironically, switching it to game mode, which effectively makes it a 1600x (6c/12t) boosts the combined score considerably but doesn't halve the physics score.

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.

Illuminist said:
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 ?

NP, happy to sort reg file :) , please give link to VBIOS you use.

ubersonic said:
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).
TonyTurbo78 said:
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.
ubersonic 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.

People quote PCI-SIG wattage for elements, but in reality they are rated for higher. Here is a link to image posted here before. Also the VRM control chip will have OCP, so even if you made PowerLimit excessive OCP will kick in.
 
So after tweaking for a few hours I managed to get my highest ever combined score and graphics score, however it's not much improvement from stock.

Stock: https://www.3dmark.com/fs/14351869
Tweaked: https://www.3dmark.com/fs/14360262

Tweaked settings were

+50% PL
P6 1632 @ 900
P7 1682 @ 1000
HBM 1000 @ 950

Anything north of this just seems to be unstable.

No matter how much I undervolt temps remain within 3-5 degress across GPU, Hot spot and HBM

Think I am just going to enjoy actually gaming on this card now... seems to have been a lot of effort for marginal gains however I do see why people get addicted to benching.

However any tips would be welcome.... think I will just leave as is until i possibly put it under water.

Unless you guys inform me of something I've missed :D

It's a tragic state of affairs.

The only old ones I have are messing around ones to be honest, and at 1752mhz. I never got round to doing 1800mhz ones as we moved house and knew I had the new hardware coming.

My lastest is here https://www.3dmark.com/fs/14348525

I'm sure when I was rocking the 1800mhz on a quick run to test stability of GPU not CPU combined, I hit a few points shy of 26k so who knows.

Matts GFX score is 25844 @ 1800 so most likely you were up at 1800 before as it's in line with what you thought you had before.

I tried simulating your settings and my card crashes instantly. I know silicon varies in voltage tolerance but I think you might need to apply more voltage to get yourself up into the p-state comfortably.
Give me til tmrow and I can give you some suggestions for tweaking.
 
AMDMatt said:
Very good G scores. Can you run something more demanding though like FS Ultra, Extreme orTimespy Extreme. Standard can throw up some odd results.
Click to expand...
Thanks Matt it is dialled in as i'm on stock bios on air so i'm limited to about 1680-1700 MHz real time.
Sure give me tmrw to get some extreme and ulta firestrike and timespy just to rule anything funky.
