gotta try this later

I guess it's pretty pointless checking these now HAHA

So far so good. No issues to report.

I consider that the stable driver should be released beforing sales of 6600M/6700M. The temp driver on these devices have serious bug.

Can the AMD Radeon 620 be used?

Even though it was reported to be fixed with the June drivers, the vram running at full speed with high resolution /refresh monitors is still present, can they sort this shit out, it's been 2 years, the last driver to work for me was November 19 whql

My GPU regularly hits 50c just on the desktop /browsing and consumes 25w because of the vram being 1750mhz constantly, instead of 35c and around 8w which is what it will do if I set my monitor to 60hz and the vram downclocks to 200-400mhz

If i'm correct Vram is always running on intended speed. It's just the core clock that lowers down in 2D mode.

Ive never seen my memory clocks go lower in 2D. Frankly i dont care either. If your GPU hits 50 degrees in idle then it's fanstop that you need to disable.

vRAM also has p-states and will typically sit around 200-400mhz when at the desktop, doing non intensive tasks, browsing etc and also lower voltage, it's well known issue with AMD that on high refresh or high resolution panels the vRAM will clock up to it's full 3d clocks and voltage thus increasing power usage and temperature (GDDR6 can run pretty hot and use a fair amount of power) you can set a lower res or refresh rate and see the vram clocks lower which is how they should behave even on higher resolution or refresh as NV cards do, the last working driver to do this was Nov 19 WHQL drivers, all others since have suffered from this issue though not for all users it seems from feedback. I'm sure there was a fix mentioned in the June driver release notes addressing it, but doesn't seem to have fixed it for me, I will try July's, but I'm not holding out for it to be fixed with these either. :ohwell: I'm not concerned with 50c idle temp, nor 25w power usage, it's more an annoyance I know it should be lowering the clock and voltage and running cooler and using less power when most of my time is spent browsing or doing desktop work that doesn't require 3d clocks :banghead:

This is the glorious truth about high refresh monitors unfortunately, 3080's also do this so yeah :(
there's some different points when it will clock the vram higher.

This is also why some phones want to reduce res to 1080P with high refresh cause of vram p-state increase (galaxy s21 for instance)

For some reason my ultrawide monitor @75hz from 2017 wasn't allowing the VRAM to clock lower idling at 32w+. When I connected my 2021 165hz monitor the VRAM started clocking down and using 8w Idle and 12w when streaming media.

Same GPU same drivers just different monitors.

@markobrian: Some RAM frequency problems in idle seem to be caused by monitors using non-standard timings for high frequency modes (source). That's why some monitors work out of the box (mine included) and some don't. The solution for a lot of people is setting the refresh rate to 120Hz, and for the others it seems to be using the CRU program and setup a custom profile.

BaoJunCan the AMD Radeon 620 be used?

What generation is that from?

Have you reported your finding to AMD or do they know about the fix?

@eidairaman1: They definitely know about it, as the threads with the CRU workaround pop up constantly, but I doubt they will able to fix this for every monitor without some per-monitor workaround or some other weird hacks. Also, CRU might not be a general solution for every monitor out there, but it doesn't hurt to try ... So, 120 Hz first and CRU if it doesn't work.

Now i am using 21.6.1 after update to 21.7.1 before update thermal 70-80c after update constant heat 73c wow its amazing.
