[Official] AMD Radeon VII Owner's Club

That is nice . Hopefully AMD are quicker to resolve drivers issues this time around. I got my RX VEGA 64 ~Oct 17, even by that time Wattman was not fixed.

That's as the 3rd Wattman image in W1zzard's review, link.

Some games i tested:


Witcher 3 @ 4K, full details
Game usually runs at 59-60 FPS, and since I use FreeSync no frame drops, nor stutter visible. Over time (few minutes) Tjunction reaches 110°C and FPS might drop to 50. Also its worth noting that at 4k Antialiasing used in this game isnt visible at all, so you can disable it.

Witcher 2 @ 4K
In most cases 60 FPS except dialogues. Game wasnt designed with 4K resolution in mind and dialogues cause FPS to drop to 10.
Near the start of the game is scene with trebuchets. When Ubersampling (Nvidia feature) is enabled, FPS drops to 27, without it its 60.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance
Cryengine. At 4k FPS in Rattay is still 47 regardless settings. Game seems to be CPU bound here. After few minutes of 4k gameplay again same problem with Tjunction. In that case fps drops a bit.

Even when i have high-res textures installed, game went only to 5.1gb VRAM usage. It was slightly a problem on FuryX.

Archeage
Its an online game based on Cryengine, and to keep things smooth I play it on 1080p with frame limit on 60. GPU runs roughly on 700Mhz, not getting close to anything critical. Power consumption of whole system while playing is 140-160 watts.

So far it looks that 4k gaming, althought possible requires some tuning.

Also even when tech specs say that card throttles from 115°C, first indications of throttling are from 110°C.





I would like to keep the current cooler, but apparenlty some tuning will be required.


Alternatively DerBauer used liquid metal:

According to tests by Hexus where was obvious that chip did not had proper contact i would try the tuning with higher pressure.

I ran Julia FP64 the other day on my RVII at stock, got around 46k points at 1920x1080 Fullscreen IIRC
However, I noticed the core clock was not hitting 100% during the test, but was rather at ~1300-1400 MHz
As a comparison, the 7970 gets around 17k

Unsure if my CPU is limiting any part of the test

Dunno yet, maybe if we make progression in pptable or vbios readings we will find out soon!

By the way, my HBM shows as "Micron" in GPU-Z ? Curious about others!?

Nice catch I tried this morning with the white slider starting from 1900mhz and 1975mhz at max boost, but this wasn't working! Will try tonight with both bars on same freq.

No value in powerplay like VEGA10 did have when I looked last. I'd be very surprised if it's less than 1.35V.

NP, shame it did not work for you. Gotta be the drivers are whack in regard to this from reviewers/user comments.

1094mv

Seems to be stable @1000 mv(or its not showing the right value), just ran another time spy this morning and it passed. I was expecting it to crash but it didn't. Had a dip in there this morning though down to 1500 on the core...none last night but I also had Freesync on this morning and that might of affected the score/dip.


GPU-Z doens't give a value on vcore...nor does HWINFO64....


Edit: lol I had Chill on too this morning, was playing OW last night and forgot to take them off.

I set at 2115. 2130 can't finish the 3Dmark run, would crash half way.

Just 100% fan, outside though, it's New England, cold here


I think I tried to drag the min clock line to match max clock line but that didn't work by itself. Maybe I should have used auto mem oc immediately after that...don't know....auto mem oc works but each time it gave me a different number, some 113x, some 116x, or 119x.

Anyone planning to install MORPHEUS II CORE EDITION?

I think it will be compatible with the frame.

Did the mod, with plastic washers.

There is SOME improvement.

Tjunction risen up by 33°C when torture test started and then slowly increased to 107-108°C where stabilized.
Initial "jump" was previously 40°C and it was raising quite fast (by 3, later 2 degrees per refresh).

Total GPU temp went from 83 to 78°C.

Its not 10°C as on TPU but its still progress. The washers I used are not 0,5mm thick, just 0,2 or 0,3mm.

@Offler stock pad or with your own paste?
