Sapphire Unveils TriXX with "Fiji" Voltage Control and HBM Overclocking

btarunr · Nov 18, 2015

Sapphire announced its latest version of the TriXX overclocking utility, which it bundles with its graphics cards. Version 5.2.1 is one of the first pieces of software to support voltage control on AMD "Fiji" GPU graphics cards (R9 Fury, R9 Fury X, and R9 Nano), and HBM overclocking. The utility comes with a new "dashboard" themed user interface that gives you an analog readout of your card's main sensors - clocks, voltage, and temperatures; and a simpler layout. In addition, it also supports voltage control on other Radeon R9 300 series GPUs.

I imagine we will be seeing some interesting results with HBM soon now.

Overclocking the Fury X right now

Let us know how you do!

I hate the new UI. It takes too much space. Any chance of eventually supporting skins or there being a bare bones skin?

Got 1104 MHz with stock (1250mV) voltage on my Sapphire Fury.
I was able to hit 1130 with +48 mV but that's it, even with +78 mV can't get stable 1140 MHz.

I wish i knew a bit more about GPU overclocking, but that doesnt seem awful

v12dock · Nov 18, 2015

I was able to get 1200mhz 550 hbm i'm not sure what voltage.
I was able to get a luxmark result in before pushing it higher and crashing.

How much better does the HBM do overclocked?

apparently, not much. There's such an abundance of bandwidth already that it's only the small change in latency that has any real effect it seems.

What are the maximums for applicable voltage settings?? Thanks!

Casecutter · Nov 18, 2015

With this "news" and Star Wars Battlefront, looks like AMD is seeing the channel filling.

Personally I don't know if I would push those first FuryX cards too much, because I think they had interposer bump issues that got cleared up supposedly sometime back (~end of July) when they said they were entering volume production. Not that it makes a ton of difference in the actual achievable OC's, just that the first one's might not be a robust. Now the question is how will they warranty such cards if you over-volt and OC them and they go_poof.

Random Murderer · Nov 18, 2015

Oh, I like the new UI. Methinks I'll be trying this new version tonight.

+100mv(1.3V) is safe up to 85C core temp.

+200mv(1.4V) is safe up to 60C core temp but the cards don't seem to scale beyond 150mv.

AFAIK Trixx doesn't let you run voltages that high on the Fury cards.(I'm stuck on a laptop so I'm going of what other have said)

HBM seems to have a sweet spot at 1.4V however that can only be achieved with hard mods ATM.

Once I get back to my desktop I'll be helping someone from OCN make custom Fury BIOSs with more HBM and core voltage. Also with change power states and power limits to try get some extra stability.

Today is a nice day. I got new BIOS for my MoBo and I am getting better OC at slightly lower vcore. Now this!

Whats interesting are the two results here:

http://www.luxmark.info/top_results/LuxBall HDR/OpenCL/GPU/1

23,726 2015-11-14 00:24 OpenCL GPU 1 Fiji [64 units @ 1050MHz] DedEmbryonicCe11
22,219 2015-11-13 19:33 OpenCL GPU 1 Fiji [64 units @ 1050MHz] DedEmbryonicCe11

So maybe those 1500 points is due to the HBM overclock.

RejZoR · Nov 19, 2015

We used to run SuperPi in minimalistic modes where you kill ALL apps, even explorer.exe to achieve maximum score. I think we even used Safe Mode, though I'm not sure, I forgot about that. But for OpenCl you'll need HW acceleration so Safe Mode is no good. The difference was measurable though so you can get more points this way as well I guess...

I never used safe mode, but most everything was shut off and it was limited to a specific amount of memory.

That's very interesting. However, when you look at the actual descriptions, there are core speed changes that the app doesn't seem to recognize.
