The RX Vega 64 Owners Thread

Well, this is a bit strange but with new driver my liquid cooling card seems to be fully stable on stock clocks and voltages, even with power limits on +50%! I've been waiting to see if new drivers change anything and they do! So far 10 loops of firestrike and time spy and no crash, whereas before it was crashing in seconds!

Yeah. My AIO 64 also stopped crashing on the new driver as well. Unfortunately, I already have an Air 64 on the way to replace it.
 
Ok more testing tonight it seems unlike GDDR5, HBM needs a lot more usages to keep it at max clocks!
For example no matter the game my old R9 290 would run 1250 none stop, but with the HBM I need to push a lot more graphic settings Like GTA5 needed 4x MSAA to make my VEGA Memory lock at max 945..

Benchmark software all push my memory at the max so I guess its just a user error and expectations on my part.. Would someone be kind enough to run GPUz while playing maybe Forza 3 and post screenshot of GPUz results I would just like to compare.

Thanks
 
Can't sleep and bored, so fired up FH3 for you...

Ignore the first half of the graphs as I'd not fired it up in a while, so had to re-do settings and watch DLC adverts and then - despite me setting frame rate to unlocked - it set itself to a locked 36fps once in game.
But the two main blocks of GPU and MEM clocks you can see is me driving around in game, unlocked FPS. The dip in between the two blocks is when in the menu/map screen.

Any other q's you have re game or driver settings let me know.

Thanks a lot for doing this. Seems your Memory is locked max. What resolution you running? and what is your GPUs max memory speed?

I running 1440p - Memory is at 945
 
@AMDMatt could the driver remember your preferences for no adware (banners) in the driver across clean installs?

also seems like the driver crashes gracefully (still need to sign out and in to get a working radeon settings) now instead of causing a full system halt when undervolting too far!

hwinfo seems to pick up two VRMs now but they don't seem to correlate to anything much

no HBM voltage tweaks still by the look of it...

Well apart from the fact that I bought a new case with a 120mm rear fan placement just for the card and the radiator doesn't fit the space. :o Card is in and working, albeit with the rad on the floor of the case blowing out the lower vent.

Ordered a new hdmi cable or display link as once the drivers installed I get a blank screen. Can remote in to the machine and everything is working fine so left it folding for 24 hours as a stress test :)
 
Trying to figure out if the issue I am having is a hardware issue with my card (RX Vega AC) or that it is just software instability. If anybody would be willing to check would be awesome! Thank you ;)

Issue persists with drivers 17.8.2 and 17.9.1. Taking out the Vega and using the iGPU fixes the issue even with AMD driver installed.

Steps to reproduce: (Only for RX Vega owners)
- Install 3DMark Advanced edition
- Repeat for 10 times:
- Open 3DMark and while it loads the menu, move mouse frantically over 3DMark window till it is done loading (Tab that should be loaded is home with the Timespy background)
- Report back if your system freezes

It seems my system locks up when the fading animation is going on in the menu and so far I cannot find any reports of the same issue.

Obvious question, but have you tried taking the fan off the radiator and putting it on the other side (so it's pulling air through the radiator instead of pushing air through it) and mounting the fan to the case instead of the rad?

What driver version?
 
yesterday was the first time i had time to sit down for the day and put in some hours gaming, what i did notice was that regardless of what setting on auto fan i put in the fan wouldnt ramp up past 1000rpm resulting in the pc to shut down after a few hours of battlefield, it happened 3 times each time i tweaked the settings before i had enough and set it to max speed where the pc didnt shut down after that. i tried all of the settings also inc power save and the bios switch, the card was roasting to the touch and the 290x i had previous in the system it never shut down like that

ive just installed the new driver so im going to give that a whirl and see if that has solved the issue but i was just wondering if anyone else was having this issue? the temp sensor is defo working and its just weird that its not ramping the fans at higher temps

The Vega reference cooler is not up to the task for keeping the card cool enough for it to hold on 100%. However, with my card I definitely get fan speeds 1000> via the auto setting or the manual setting. Did the card listen to setting the fan manually?

Also try to include a screenshot of your wattman settings
