Im going to join in this fun as my card is a beauty, but i think the 2700x will hold the overall score back from being near yours, but I will try and beat the graphics score.
I have 2 vegas now and get 40170 graphics score with the 2 running

Brilliant, look forward to seeing that mate. I reckon there is a 27500 gfx score in this card but I'm a little apprehensive about giving it absolute beans again. She has done 1780mhz in games before, in the bench she was only hitting 1730mhz so there's more score there to be had if i want to be proper brave.

I've got a Win re-install scheduled for 2mo, so offers a rare opportunity to bench with empty HD's...

Looking at your rig we went for the exact same styling, I have the same size rads in the exact same place, the same Ek waterblock, the same colour fluid in the same combination of custom for gpu and AIO for the cpu, the same powersupply, superflower i believe?
and the same white led style fans... spooky

Good taste that mate

And yes, 1200w superduperflower

A small victory for Vega 64 I'm all emotional lmao

Here she is. https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/29514396?

Now someone needs to come and smash that score, I'm done with benching haha. I can't take it, I need to leave the room and walk around the house during the bench, I get so nervous with the high clocks now.

Nope, I can't seem to break even 26K on Firestrike, never mind get really close to that ... maybe my CPU is also holding back the graphics score a bit? It was stable though with the settings from Tony's https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/32199108

I'm sure i saw you say you would try for 28k a few posts back. Dooo eeeet!

Do you use the lc bios Tony? What advantages does that give over the 64,is that how you get such high hbm?

You sure? 377W? Mine couldn't go over 320W with those settings :/ but the perf was not up to scratch.
Try the following. Close the tool.

Reset wattman.
Set adaptive 6%
Set manual P6 & P7 to 1175mv
Set the other power setting to 1100
Set HBM to 1100.
Set PL to 50%

Given it a try and let me know how it goes.

TrixX · 17 Oct 2018 at 23:09

I'll give that adaptive a try see if it works when I do the mammoth bench session after re-install of Wincrap.

Wow someone actually tested with over 1400mhz on a Vega64.

LOL, I bet people haven't seen this yet. I was so shocked at the results.

I know right? LOL

Yeah interesting to see his card getting that performance on core, though the mem clock is still stock at 945, easily a bit more in the tank there.

EastCoastHandle · 18 Oct 2018 at 05:45

Hmm, this is all creeping up after Win10 1809 update and new drivers. Is that the secret sauce AMD's Sue was talking about?

TrixX · 18 Oct 2018 at 05:50

Easily testable, load up some 17.9.1's and do a few runs, then 18.10.1's...

The head of the Radeon software department said end of the year there are going to be the big news.... IMHO he is talking about HDMI 2.1 (and VRR) support for all RX cards promised in January. But this is AMD.

Also consider the V64 is 14-16Tflop card. (depends settings)
There is a huge untapped performance still in the card. Whole sections of it are not used currently yet nobody knows what they are about.

Then add in the mix the raw grunt power the card has. Few pages back posted the tensor flow benchmark. It beats anything Nvidia has, and breaths to the neck of the V100S. A GPU 20 times more expensive. And that in matrix computing without having specialised units like tensor cores.

Personally if AMD driver team manages to make games tap on the unused grunt power, we going to have some funny benchmarks against rtx2080ti.. .. Especially in Ray tracing
