How come you haven't got one up there mate?

Don't laugh but I can't be bothered.
Didn't even uploaded anything from the 1080Ti either and had the card since last August. Also if I put a post regardless how good might be, I will spend hours trying to improve it. And it will go like that until I have spend the next few weeks fiddling with the card as I did with the GTX1080.
It is like a drug

I kinda know what you mean. I could very easily smash 26k, might even get to 27k as I know my card will hit 1800mhz and stay there, but I'm not really into the chasing higher score scene. I bench when I first get it to put some info up on the charts for others to reference. I know how fast this card is, that's all that really matters to me now. I just wanna game now.
Was just surprised you haven't put up an entry

I have started playing on Monster Hunter World for about 2 weeks now on my Vega64, and I have gotten pretty much a sold 65-75fps on my 3440x1440 with Volume Rendering Quality and AA turned off (as they actually make the game imagine look blurry) and everything else max (left the Dynamic Range as 32-bit as 64-bit seem to be to do with HDR). Yesterday I hooked it up to my Samsung 4K TV, and after reducing texture details down to 1024 and shadow details down to medium, I was pretty much getting a completely smooth experience.
Meanwhile people on the Nvidia camp with faster newer PC than me using a 1070/1080/1080ti seem to be keep reporting underwhelmed performance and random dips all over the place, even when not at 4K

I will do tonight I am out on a team building event all day@Raptorpg post your score here
https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/firestrike-standard-bench-thread.18665940/
You have the second highest Graphics score on all Vega & GTX1080s combined.
Only Davedree has higher score (26239) at 1727/1125 but his card was on 370W+
Imho try to overclock your HBM to 1125 also and give it a try
@Raptorpg
Asked yesterday Sapphire and today got reply about the Nitro+ SE bios
However my experience differs.
The 2nd BIOS (left position as we see the card upside down) allows for higher HBM on the default settings (945) instead of the 1st BIOS (800).
In addition with BIOS 2, the clocks at Power Save & Balanced mode are higher consistently yet power cap is the same :/
Maybe it's for the limited edition? Got the feeling that nobody at sapphire knows what the settings are

no asked the guy from Sapphire and double confirmed it. That is from the Nitro+ I have with the 2 8pin connectors.Maybe it's for the limited edition? Got the feeling that nobody at sapphire knows what the settings are
Hum weird indeed. It could be due to the tinkering with watmann I have the impression that when I try to go back to the original presets on the card it doesnt always takes it into account not sure why

Received my Red Devil Vega64 2 days ago, and I swear, I've never had this much fun overclocking and undervolting a card before. I have it running nicely at 1602 965mV P6 & P7, and 1080 965mV on the HBM2. Very cool 70-75 degree, very quiet 2000rpm fan, great performance.
I had a similar experience. Overclocking and under volting these cards is certainly fun.Received my Red Devil Vega64 2 days ago, and I swear, I've never had this much fun overclocking and undervolting a card before.

Have you ran a benchmark with an overlay visible? That's very low voltage for your core, I don't think you'd be getting near 1600mhz with only 965mv, I reckon the card will only be getting to around 1550mhz at it's peak.
You are absolutely right, it sits around 1460 - 1532. More tinkering needed.
Edit: After a number of hours benching higher volts to obtain higher clocks, the trade off does not seem worth it. Gets much hotter, and clocks down under sustained load. Definitely happy with my settings.

happy with my vega 64, runs everything 1080p completely maxed out at 100+ fps and without even getting hot max 60dg
probably overkill but didnt seem much point getting the 56 seeing as the prices are so close
Not bothering to tinker yet as don't need to!

Just did and still showing 210 not sure why (maybe my 650 Watt psu that wont let it draw more ? ).
On the other hand I followed your advice and managed to get the card running at p6: 1652 and p7:1682 (higher was crashing
And firestrike looks good just broke the 26000 score
I wonder why my gpu results are so low compared to you guys? Am I doing something wrong?
https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/15964594/fs/16157378/fs/16183782#
My Graphics Test 1 is as much as 9 frames slower even though my gpu's clocked higher?
Throttling? Do you max your fans for benching or leave as is which is what I've been doing?
The secret to firestrike 1080p graphics score is to ride a voltage table that doesn't draw too much current. Gt1 test will draw crazy amounts of current whereas Gt2 isn't so bad.
You can test this by observing your clockspeed in Gt1 and measuring the gpu only power, or by using a watt meter.

I noticed a huge benefit from switching to Liquid Metal for cooling the GPU. Getting that heat off the core as fast as possible allowed mine to go stable at 1750Mhz core without issue. With just the normal paste it was just not enough to keep it cool. Used some Hydronaut and AS5 both dried out really quick. As long as you protect the microcomponents around the core with something it's fine.

Oh and I'm running the Liquid BIOS.

Very nice result there, yeah the Tim is a bit poop, but then so's my reference cooler.
Can you get 1125/1150mhz on the hbm ?
Associate
I have done some basic testing above 1100 but it's not been that successful. Was stable up 1190, but crashed at 1160 and 1150. Still need to do more testing though can't with my current setup. Need another SSD
Soldato
Your HBM is not at 1100. Is better to lower the core to overclock your HBM as there are big gains between 1000 and 1100
As for cooling when used air had it to 2000 low 3600 max. But give it a try at full blast.
Also did you tried the settings posted few pages back? the 26000 from raptorpg is with much less clocks and power draw than you.
@TrixX 1125 is the next sweet spot over 1100. After that HBM gets very hot, heating the surface of the cooler and thus heating the core which normally runs cooler than the HBM.
Dont forget HBM and core are 1mm apart.
