Ok I'm testing with Wattman but I see no improvement whatever I do... card just doesnt want to overclock it seems

Default settings (balanced) and Turbo from Wattman give me exact same performance running Heaven Extreme setting option ... 1590-1600 core clock all the time ...

If I try to tweak it I might get extra 20 Mhz or lose some ... nothing really changes ... so frustrating

P.S. does anyone know the correct position for overclock bios on these cards ?!?! its not even in the manual or Sapphire site ... I can't believe a simple thing like its not to be found.

Also I've tried to switch it I've restarted several times and in GPU-Z it shows 264W max on both bioses ... and clocks are the same then how do I know which one is which ?

Turbo setting from Wattman beats me all the time

I don't thinkh that's a reference card, try the other one and mem tweak tool , post one ,it's like n tool but better.
I even have some listed mem timings to try and it too can use profiles.

Can you take a look at this ?

This is what I get from memtweak tool

One more question: these soft power tables override the bios setting ? I mean if I use turbo from AMD wattman I will see no difference between the bioses ?

I just looked and compared and the Turbo option from Wattman only adds +15% power ?! Thats all it does ?

All turbo does is raise the power limit 10% and that's it.

Move the power limit to max +50 and watch the frequency rise

For me it does add +15% ... but it's kinda lame to be honest ... I was expecting for some under the hood tweaks clocks etc but it just does that ...

If I max it it throttles but fans don't go crazy ... so its a power consumption not a heat throttling ?

I've overclocked all of my cards but none compared to this one ... its awkward and doesnt want to clock higher ... is the stress I'm putting into too much ? Heaven Extreme setting profile or Superposition 1080p extreme ... and the bios switch seems to be doing nothing ! gpu-z says the same info on both ... I didnt reinstall drivers after switch but it should be the same bios just with different values I see no point in reinstalling drivers

my bad 15% then, anyways you need to lower the last 2 voltages and have power limit to the max to see things jump in frequency..

also my apologies for just jumping in.. to much tr

I did that and it jumps 20 MHz lol damn brick card its huge I feel it can do more ... and when it does it from time to time it goes to 1100-1200 mhz for a fraction of a second so its throttling ? or its heaven changing scenes ...

Hmm what card? what are you setting your voltages at on P6 and P7?

 

[Bernec]

Tried 1050 and 1100 (default was 1150 and 1200) ... Sapphire Vega64 Nitro+ LE (really big and ugly) https://www.sapphiretech.com/en/consumer/nitro-rx-vega64-8g-hbm2-le

It's like the card is at it's max already it feels like that sometimes

Ok I hear ya, so what clocks in P6 and P7 are you trying, like +2,+3 ect... Lets say when you set p6 n p7 @1100mV?

 

[Bernec]

I've tried +1.5% +2% and also manually changed it to 1670 from 1630 which is default ... in Heaven it hoovers around 1580 - 1630 no matter what I do ... like its says ok you want that but its not going to happen ... the temps are 58-60 and power draw in GPU-Z is like 240-250-260 W... I tried +50% power and +25% and so on ... It just acts the way it wants

If I try to go lower than 1050 mV it crashes but at around 1100 is quite stable (havent tested in games since its not being able to keep its clocks stable)

I have two Vega 64 cards.
One is a Gigabyte Gaming OC and the other is a Red Devil.

Saving them for the new Ryzen System after the release.
Will run them in Crossfire.

While those will fit those cards on a X570 or X470 board. They are both 2.5 slot cards I would suggest putting a waterblock on your red devil card (there is not one commercially available for the Gigabyte card) not just to reduce the size of the card but also to reduce thermals. I would also suggest you check the thermal paste application on the Gigabyte card, My card was less than satisfactory.

Good luck with that

I'm not sure if this is the right thread but can someone with Vega 56/64 confirm the Crysis 3 and Ghost Warrior 3 results from this very unusial tests.

 

[Hellfire]

Biggest mistake I made with the Crossfire Vegas is running them on air, they're too big and close, thermals can get insane.

Block them and cool them.

 

[Hellfire]

Vega's on water is amazing. Day one of the new build.

5.5% OC on the GPU Clock 1100Mhz Memory and 35c MAX temp
Currently the fastest 3900X/Vega combo.

And 5th overall Vega Timespy run

few hours on. managed to grab a higher score

Hello all

The Vega 10 I have is the Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX Vega 64 Limited Edition 2.0 GB HBM2, this was a silent release it has a turbo speed of 1630Mhz instead of 1611Mhz and has Dual 8 Pin connectors instead of triple 8 pin power connectors.

Here a picture of it with other Radeon cards I worked with, the only photo of it out of the system, top to bottom left to right:

Hercules 3D Prophet 9700 Pro AGP 128MB 256Bit DDR Pre-Production Sample
HIS Radeon HD 3850 ICEQ3 Turbo AGP 512MB 256Bit GDDR3 nick named (HIS HD 3870 AGP 512MB) This is the world's fastest AGP card ever.
Sapphire Radeon X1900 XTX PCI-E 512MB 256Bit GDDR3
Sapphire Radeon X1950 XTX Cross Fire Edition 512MB 246Bit GDDR4
Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 580 Special Edition PCI-E 8GB 256Bit GDDR5
Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX Vega 64 Limited Edition 2.0 PCI-E 8GB 2048Bit HBM2


Here the card in my system:


So far this is the best VGA card I ever used since the AMD R900 Antilles Pre-Production board this became the AMD Radeon HD 6990.
Solid drivers and superb image quality, just love it, the R9 290X was also amazing btw.

The moment I saw this refresh of the Nitro RX Vega 64 LE at Tweaktown as these pics show here:

SAPPHIRE tweaks RX Vega 64 NITRO+, drops to 2 x 8-pin PCIe

SAPPHIRE's refreshed Radeon RX Vega 64 NITRO+ goes from 3 x 8-pin PCIe to 2 x 8-pin PCIe.

Just beautiful:


I was like yeaps that is gonna be my Vega 64, Vega 64 done right for that part

hi @Gold Leader

Late to the party.
Got a Vega 11, "downgrade" from an R9 270X. Performance lost is very slim, and efficiency is something like 10x times better.

Hi and welcome, are /have you done much gaming on it, im looking at laptops atm so would appreciate a user opinion ,stuff like apex , division 2 ,GtaV ,how does it get on?

 

[GoldenX]

Most of the time you can keep medium to high level settings, but I game with a 1440x900 display, so that helps a lot. FullHD is a totally different story, performance drops a big margin.

 

[GoldenX]

Do you see anything weird? Out of place?

Memory clock? You're running DDR4-3200, right? Shouldn't that read 1600 MHz? Nothing is really sticking out to me though.

 

[GoldenX]

Well, yes and no. Wanted to trolltest 16GB of "VRAM".
