in the gaming section of radeon settings app, click on global settings then global wattman.

Click on frequency, it's going to open boxes like volts show now, set the two highest p states to 1500, typing into each box , then click on each p states voltage and set it to 1100 mV then adjust the power slider to +25% , apply and test with a windowed 3d load then increase the core soeed by 25 and leave for ten minutes to heatup , when it crashes you face the option of upping voltage a but or stepping back on frequency.

Posting here just to say I'm officially in the VEGA Club, got my Gigabyte RX VEGA 64 (stock model) and had initially had Green Screen of Death successively while installing drivers (was trying to install 18.10.1 and backed down to 18.9.3). I was beginning to think that I'd made a mistake when, after a few GSoD's, I'd licked the problem. Turns out MSI AB was running in the background but tuned to my old GTX Titan setup...MSI AB caused the GSOD's and I can't but shake my head in wonder, such a small app but yet it caused me an hour of head banging and hair pulling.

I'm not putting the card through its paces, weird thing though, Gears Of War Ultimate PC ran beautifully smooth and with max setting. The RTX had weird framerate drops and mild stuttering....I'd thought the RTX 2080 Ti would stomp on the VEGA 64 in that game.

Welcome, I recently swapped platform from fx 8350 to 2600X ,i was happy before but im often surprised by just how capable vega is, like forza 4 with everything maxed besides blur(i hate) and AA at 2xms and 4K and a nice solid 60.
Im looking forward to the Xmas driver update though.

I'm not into playing the benchmark game, so for me, a kickbutt card like the VEGA or the RTX series + older i7 platform systems would do nicely in games. My Vega 64 is in an i7 4770K @4.2ghz rig, my RTX 2080 Ti is in my SB-E i7 3960X @4ghz and my GTX 1080 is in my i7 2600K @4.2ghz and games run just fine.

I'd thought of building a Threadripper rig, the 2920X looks pretty awesome, but I'm putting that off for now. The older i7's I have seems to be doing a good enough job for the games I play so I don't feel the urge to build a new rig, this recent GPU upgrade phase I'd embarked on recently is now finished, all the GPU's in my rig have been upgraded and I think I'm good for another couple of years with the CPU's I have.

A pic of my VEGA as proof positive that I'd gotten it....

A pic of all the boxes from my recent GPU upgrade spree.....feelin' kinda poor now.

Reference card is a certain feet warmer.
Any ideas on how to reduce the heat with exception of changing to water cooling card, would changing to slightly faster fan help or more case fans? I'm still using the 3 fractal design 1000rpm fans that came with the case.

try to add fan that dumps air in at the bottom next to the psu. this should provide some fresh air for the card's fan.

Kinda excited, I'll be getting a 2nd VEGA (Powercolor VEGA 64 Red Devil) and I'll be running it as the main card with my first VEGA and secondary. I'll be installing them in my 3960X system since the Asus Rampage IV Extreme does 2x PCIE x16 3.0 slots, my i7 4770K in the Asrock Z87 Extreme6 does only 2x PCIE x8 3.0 slots (in CF mode)

 

[GamerGuy]

It's here!

The card is monstrous! It easily dwarfs the Palit RTX 2080 Ti...

Runnin CF with a stock Gigabyte VEGA 64...

Tried the Metro 2033 Redux benchmark, and I do believe GPU-Z can't read the primary card core speed properly....primary card (Red Devil) GPUZ readings on the left tab. The tab on the right (Gigabyte RX VEGA 64) seems to be okay, core and mem clocks look about right.

Tried the benchmark again, this time with SSAA enabled to further stress the cards. Again do note the readings on the lower tab is for my Gigabyte card, and they seem plausible. The top tab, however indicate an even higher core clock than my first run. Guess I'll have to wait for GPUZ to be updated to read the core speed correctly.

Hi all !

I just buy a Gigabyte RX VEGA 64 GAMING OC ... I not able to set manually fan speed with MSI AFTERBURNER ... even with wattman ... I see the fan are off until I start gaming and the gpu go higher in temp ... is it possible to manually put the fan at 60% default and higher if the temp go higher too ...

I see tomshardware see the same thing with this model ... no 0% speed fan until a certain temp program in the BIOS

I'm on 18.10.2 the last one

Thanks for your help

Seams it's working like it should, in that it's designed to do that, i don't know of anything that specifically adjusts gigabyte cards, i stick with sapphire personally ,sorry.

 

[SpeedHunter]

Is it possible to change the BIOS for a more customize on like your Sapphire ?

Sapphire is the same. My Nitro+ fan doesn’t spin up until it hits 56C.

 

[SpeedHunter]

ok so no way to be able to control the fan my myself like on my old gigabyte 290x and but it to like 40% even if the card don't work ... there is no way ?

I know it’s not ideal , I’m not a huge fan either but it’s not like it’s dangerous or the cards overheating is it?

all vega are like this ???

Not all, different Aibs build different boards , does gigabyte not have any Oc software?.
Other software won't support your hardware specifically.
A bios flash would just make it worse in compatibility terms and bios cannot at this point be modified either so I can't recommend that.

 

[GamerGuy]

My PowerColor Red Devil does that as well, I mean, the fans would only start spinning when the GPU core hits 40°C. After a gaming session, the fans would keep spinning till core temp hits 40°C, then it would stop. I don't mind because the Red Devil temps is easily >10°C less than my Gigabyte reference card.

 

[TheoneandonlyMrK]

So I finally got bored messing with my vegas shipped config, so I flashed a Lc vega 64 bios to it(Ek block fitted).
I can't at this point bench any higher but it will game at 1740 happily, it wouldn't before so I'm fairly happy ,has anyone else got any tips so far as under volting it as i can't get 1800mh/z stable.

yes oc software from gigabyte but no fans control

ok so right now I must deal with these default setting ... no way I can modify it and 100% control my fan speed ...

so nobody here with your Vega 64 you deal with the default company setting

I got a reference so wattman works fine and sapphire and asus have Oc software, it is just unlucky bro, question does your card not have a dual bios switch, normally one is more performance focused in every way.
Other than that ,try msi afterburner as it's support is better than most, personally I would try everyone's software ,trixx, Ab ,asus gpu tweak sny i can find just to see , hopefully gigabyte get there software act together and sort this out, i could do with them looking at their RGB software personally it's also janky.

i always use msi afterburner for years ... but for this card ... no way msi afterburner can override today

Maybe with time, it is a new ish card.
