One thing I noticed after enabling in game monitoring, even though my GPU is at 100% Usage the clocks never hit the clocks I set in MSI Afterburner which is the stock boost clock of 1338/2000. GPU clocks seem to sit around 1200/2000 and temps are below70*C. Trying to figure out why this is happening.

I managed to catch up to and surpass you Durvelle27 when you were running @ 4.1 GHz via brute force (4.8 GHz v1.305.)

Could it be the RX 480 is being held up by your Xeon resulting in the RX 480 not hitting max boost? Could also be the type of game is harder on the CPU, and the GPU does adaptive clocking not just based on thermals/power I though.

You got me, I was reconsidering my post. Decided to contribute something more useful to Durvelle27. Ah well

Edit: Thanks again for saving my prior past post.

I doubt it

GPU usages remains at 100% and CPU barely reaches 60% usage

Ah huh, go ahead and rub it in with your extra 2 cores/4 threads you've got.

I hope i didn't come late to the party

No HT and just 3.69GHz

 

[biffzinker]

Oh Yeah?

Uh oh, looks like your single thread performance is weak sauce.

You have scored 10,97 at 4998.83MHz with 1.41v and HT on, i have score 11.10 at 3.69GHz with 1.294v an HT off plus or course my single thread is weak, you have more GHz.

 

[biffzinker]

Just having a bit of fun, nothing to be taken seriously @Knoxx29. So has anyone bothered doing the same to the older Sandybridge-E/Xeon?

I know and i am not taking it seriously and i am having fun too
