ASUS Radeon ROG RX Vega 64 STRIX 8GB review - Overclocking The Graphics Card

Overclocking The Graphics Card

Traditional overclocking - As most of you know, with most video cards you can apply a simple series of tricks to boost the overall performance a little. Typically you can tweak on core clock frequencies and voltages. By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the videocard increase its calculation clock cycles per second.
 

Original	This sample	Overclocked
Base Clock: 1247 MHz	Base Clock: 1247 MHz	Base Clock: 1700 MHz
Boost Clock: 1546 MHz	Boost Clock: 1546 MHz	Max Boost Clock: 1700MHz
Memory Clock: 945 MHz	Memory Clock: 945 MHz	Memory Clock: 945 MHz

You can use any tweaking utility of your preference of course. You can use the internal driver Wattman. Our applied tweak:

• Core: 1700 MHz 
• Mem: 945 MHz data-rate
• Power: +50%
• Voltage GPU: default
• Volatge mem: default
• Fan: Default

Performance modes

Above: AMD in it's latest drivers is making things rather messy if you ask me as it now includes power save, balanced (the default) and a Turbo mode (last one adds 15% extra on the power limiter) as well. Above some results based on standard BIOS mode versus the presets. The differences here remain marginal in the 1~3 FPS offsets. We'd advice to leave it at the default setting.
