I spent the majority of the day running benchmarks (fire strike, which seems to bug out with me on steam) Your original settings actually came out best! But the clock never varied much 1330mhz ish and neither did the score.
I tried the suggested cutting/ putting up power,various Pstates, aggressive fan control etc nothing was giving me the performance as before.
****** off, i tried a game (where it matters) the clocks went up to 1554 (iirc) but the fan curve was crazy/not working as before.
Can you alter wattman on the fly? (As in while game is running) I get the feeling either its not updating the changes or wattman is screwed.
For reference before installing the new driver (19.1.1) I followed the instructions and used DDU, but this update seems really bad (for me) as did the last one (18.12.2). The old fan min/max worked really well for me, i didn't have to change anything(moved max 75c- target 45c and got good performance undervolt with decent temps and low fan noise), now games run 10c hotter and my freq isn't hitting near as before.
I apologize for my lack of knowledge and questions, you all seem to know what your doing here and are enthusiastic with helping out
Right. Not the Gigabyte then? I noticed that one has been cheaper for while now and there's been plenty on clearance also. Shame because i like the look of that and the Asus one lol.. What's the complaint regards these two?
Has he set the P7 frequency higher than 1600mhz? If not, its doubtful no matter what he does, that the card will go any higher. He can try these settings, they work fine for me, but your mileage may vary:

P6 - 1100mv
P7 - 1100mv
P7 frequency - 1607mhz (or thereabouts)
fan set to auto (default)
Leave the memory alone for the time being so as to remove that as a variable.
Download "tomb raider dox demo" and run at these settings. You can check speeds, temps, loads, etc in GPU-Z by "alt-tab" out of the game and it still runs in the back apparently so the gpu is loaded up all the time. This means also you can make adjustments in wattman on the fly. Apparently thiss is a far better method to check for stability as its a real game engine (Unreal)( not a synthetic benchie) so it'll give a far more realistic game type load to the gpu.
If your card is the same as mine, you'll be running consistently at around 1550mhz at around 250w power draw. The fan will probably spin up to about 2000ish rpm.
If all is good and stable, bump the memory up to 1100mhz and set voltage to 1100mv and retest for stability again using the Dox demo.
Try that lot and post back the results.
Used- but iv'e had it running well for months now. It's gigabyte gaming oc not nitro.
I'll try that tomorrow thanks! p7 was a 1632 as per the setup photo that was suggested. In an ideal world i'd like temps to stay around 70c with under 2000rpm, at least in my less demanding strategy games.Has he set the P7 frequency higher than 1600mhz?

With p6&p7 1100 p7 freq 1632 (that's what dynamic puts it a by default) on Tomb Raider default settings
Wattman was showing a high of: gpu 1473 73c 1940rpm
Sorry, i said gigabyte and wished i'd read here 1st and gone for another. Did not intend any confusion.

Regardless i'm looking for help getting the nice experience i had before the last 2 driver updates, and help with the new options since then. Originally i went with this and it worked. Now it doesn't, there are more p-states and a fan curve that i can't get to work
I'm pretty useless at this i know!
