WattMan Question

[steve22stoke]

Hi I just picked up my Vega 56. On using the WattMan software when I use the custom settings and set the frequencies manually and click apply all is good, but as soon as I reboot windows it forgets my settings, all drivers are also up to date. Any ideas? Many thanks

I had this with the old driver but the latest amd driver is fine for me

All my drivers are up to date, its driving me mad every time I reboot windows I have to change my WattMan settings because it doesn't remember them. If anyone knows why I would be very grateful.

Try doing each setting manually and clicking apply, then do another setting and click apply, and so on...

These things can happen due to incorrect file permissions or unrecognised file formats(version mismatch). Try using DDU and then reinstalling the drivers.

Ok thanks will give that a try.

Just use that, only use wattman if you want to reset to default. Check with GPU-z the clocks are changing.

Values should retain through reebot, no need to apply them everytime.
But if you want, easiest way to add to windows autostart is to use registry:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"OverdriveNTool"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OverdriveNTool\\OverdriveNTool.exe\" -p0\"1\""
Replace C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OverdriveNTool to directory where you have OverdriveNTool.exe, save this to autostart.reg file, then run this file once.
Remember to use only ASCII letters and numbers for profile name that you want to use in commandline, and use \ before each \ and " characters, so
"OverdriveNTool"=""C:\Program Files (x86)\OverdriveNTool\OverdriveNTool.exe" -p0"profile name""
should be replaced to
"OverdriveNTool"="\"C:\\Program Files (x86)\\OverdriveNTool\\OverdriveNTool.exe\" -p0\"profile name\""

This is the reply I got when I asked how to set it on reboot. The advantage of the tool is that its has profiles so applying a profile is quick.
