Problem with RX580 8GB

[Jism]

Open up furmark, run a simple test. Read HWInfo.

You'll see the clocks, temps and voltages go up. If you start offsetting voltages because your in 2D and cannot see a change then you really do not know what your doing.

I mean, I'll say it right now, I have no clue what I'm doing, that's why I'm crying for help on a tech forum man... I don't know what 2D means, when I say under load I mean heavy gaming. Both during furmark, and cyberpunk 2077 on maxed graphics as you can see here, VSoC was at 0.819 for some reason. Call me stupid if this isn't what I'm supposed to do to test voltages and what-not, but this is all I know :/

Please scroll to your GPU, not CPU.

If you're talking about VDDC, yes, thats 1.125-1.156, I think Mussels was talking about VSoC.

That said, the specs you mentioned for your system definitely may be the cause.
Ryzen setups prior to the 5000 series did not fully support 3200MT/s speeds, and the lower end boards had even less chance of that working problem free.

Enter your BIOS
Enable XMP for your RAM, manually set SoC voltage (vsoc) to 1.10v then lower the RAM speed to 2966MT/s
In that exact order, no other.

What happens is that SoC is the link between your CPU and PCI-E express lanes, while sharing power with the memory controller. Infinity fabric runs at the same speed as your RAM, so higher RAM speed means higher demands of the infinity fabric. Higher power needs (or errors) on the Infinity fabric can cause the PCI-E lanes to drop out causing a "GPU driver has crashed" situation or if the memory controller side crashes, a black screen lockup of the entire PC.

If VDDC is what he was talking about, then yes its voltage is normal. The whole time I was talking about VSoC, that link between CPU and PCI-E lanes, which is at 0.825V (hope I'm not tilting you with how stupid I might be at the moment lol)

Numbers look correct to me.

Perhaps increase the power limit in AMD Drivers. That should provide a tad bit more performance.

 

[Mussels]

Hold on, this is getting confusing with the different voltages being discussed.
I was talking about VSoC, not your CPU voltage, not your GPU voltage.

VSoC should be between 1.0v and 1.20v with your setup.


GPU and CPU voltages should be left alone on auto - no offests, no under or overvolts. Leave that for tweaking a stable system instead of adding more problems.

It is a slow combination tho with a fairly recent and high end game. The card is consuming 100 to 200W so it's operating as intended. Nothing wrong there. If the performance is low i think it's the high demanding game. Everything low at 1080p yields 55 to 60 FPS on a RX580.

Don't get me wrong, it was a good 1080p card back when it was released (1080p/60fps) for only 250$. But now it's getting behind compared to the newer generation of videocards such as RDNA.

A RX6700XT is 2.5x faster then a RX580 and pretty much consumes the same power.

That's what i've been talking about, as that's a really low value.

0.850v is the lowest i've seen stock, so it could be a less accurate sensor, or it could be drooping due to a weak VRM/PSU. Raising VSoC to 1.0v could solve your issues by stabilizing just about everything in the system.

No, sorry but with medium-high settings, fidelity FX on quality, and in the new area where everyone is getting their fps butchered, im having around 55-60 fps. Drivers are strong, sometimes buggy, but strong. Idk why every single test online shows dogwater fps? not even on high settings...

Ive set it to 1.1V, underclocked ram as it seems to be an issue for others experiencing similar problems, and set my RAM to maximum supported clock by my CPU which is 2933. No crashes since, but im still testing.
