Thanks Matt, it's appreciated. Crashing under OpenGL every 1hr 30mins is quite frustrating, but less frustrating than the game never loading!
Caporegime
There are two issues? I thought it was just that the game wouldn't load.
Do me a favour and start a forum thread here and summarise all the issues and provide a DXDIAG/any relevant links to the dev forums etc. https://community.amd.com/thread/196209

Doom at 5K on Vega 64 (60% more pixels than 3840x2160).

Thanks, I'll make sure we take a look at it from our side.

"Glad to hear the replacement is working now, the last unit you send back it hang up and crash in windows when we try to run test with it, so we have determine the unit as defective and a replacement card was tested and issue to you."
No root cause, but defective nonetheless. New card hasn't crashed my PC...yet!

That's good news, I've heard people saying they weren't happy with how Sapphire deals with us in the UK but that sounds alright.

Cousin of mine was looking at doing an all AMD build, He bought an 1800X, 2x8GB sticks of memory, PSU, Case etc etc... then looked at the availability and price of a Strix Vega 64 card, As he's doing an all Asus build where possible, And laughed, So instead of paying £989.99 for a Strix Vega 64 which should really cost no more than £600 he paid £999 and got the Jedi Order version of the Titan Xp.
AMD need to get their **** together and figure something out as the amount of people I personally know that have gone over to team green because of AMD's lack of stock and sky high prices is overwhelmingly huge.

Issue is, if they pay to ramp up production then mining dies they get stuck with a ton of cards and no demand just like in 2014.

Its not just the mining, there are problems with ram and all sorts pushing prices up.
Caporegime
Yeah, it's a bit of a perfect storm. Ram shortages, mining, HBM shortages, mining, brexit, weak pound, mining, gouging retailers, limited extra production from foundries, mining, Nvidia stopping production for their next launch, etc. It will get better as things sort themselves out.

Hello list, first post here, hoping you can help me out with my new Asus STRIX Vega64 Undervolt/Overclock -
I managed to underclock all the way down to 1050/1100, a 100mV decrease, for a really stable undervolt, leaving the clock speeds at dynamic. I also pushed the HBM voltage down to 1000mV and clock up to 1000MHz. All of this gave me around ~4% consistent performance increase, a much higher average clock speed of 1520MHz, all while lowering my power and temp to around 260W and 76C respectively.
is this around what other people have been clocking to?
also I have 2 questions/queries -
1) My Firestrike score seems really low compared to what I have seen reported (16805), while my TimeSpy (6995) and Superposition (4621) scores seem on par ... is this normal? I have seen Firestrike scores more in line with 19-22k.. whereas my timespy and superposition scores seem about right.... all 3 scores net a yield of around 4% on original scores, able to get another 1% yield from OCing my Ryzen 1600 to 3.7GHz
2) I notice that my temps and power draw go up and clock goes down while playing 4k - transcription from other post -
When I played doom in 4K uncapped I noticed my temps creeping all the way up to 80, with my clock speeds running considerably lower at around the mid 1400s. I managed to downclock to 1000/1050, which remained stable in doom and lowered temp and power consumption down, the latter of which was still higher than 1080p at around 310W.
When attempting to benchmark this lower voltage it crashed both superposition and witcher 3. Subsequent 4K testing of the earlier stable undervolt of 1050/1100 on witcher 3, supported the theory that 4K resolution leads to higher temps and lower average clock speeds in general with vega.
Also confirmed in superposition 4K a 0.4% increase in performance as opposed to a 4% increase at 1080 when undervolting, leading to the conclusion that as resolution goes up, tweaking will only help keep the temp off and not yield similarly significant gains observed at lower resolutions.

On Firestrike are you comparing total score or just graphics scores? CPU might be the difference between your scores and others but saying that 1520MHz seems a bit low for avg clock speed tbh.
As a start try..
GPU, P6 1530Mhz/950mV, P7 1600/1100
Mem P3 1045MHz/950mV
Up fan Min speed as much as is bearable in a quiet room, or set it higher on a profile you switch to when gaming and can't hear it as much.
Similar with Max speed set it as high as possible/bearable.
power limit +50%
See how that goes and tweak from there.
