AMD drivers Adrenalin 2020 21.9.1 support automated overclocking

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 09/14/2021 08:35 AM | source: | 8 comment(s)

An automatic overclocking tool has been incorporated into the Radeon Software tool that comes bundled with these new drivers, allowing you to improve the overall performance of your system with a single mouse click.

The feature is compatible not only with Radeon RX 6000 GPUs, but also with AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs, which allows you to boost the performance of both in order to get the most out of your system. Unfortunately, there is no support for other series of GPUs at this time, and AMD has not commented on whether or not there will be future support.

To make use of this feature, you must first navigate to the Performance tab, pick the Tuning option, and then enable the Auto Overclock option in the Tuning Control part of the Performance Control section. You can choose whether to overclock the CPU or leave its default settings after you enable it, and in the GPU section, you can choose whether to undervolt or overclock the GPU and/or VRAM or leave the settings for default after you enable it, with the ability to customize the overclocking to its maximum and then have it applied with a single button once you enable it.

I've had absolutely no problem with the OC feature for my 5700xt. Works in all the games I play with no problems at all.
I've only recently tried the undervolt feature with no problems either.
Haven't messed with the ram OC feature though.

But I will say that I replaced all my thermal pads with fujipoly ultra extreme and re-applied thermal paste with thermal grizzly.

It did "work" at first but was super conservative and only added 20 or so mhz to core and 10 to vram

I tried it the other day, not the new one, but the older one on 21.8.2, and it did say "2140mhz core" and something on RAM that I forgot. I clicked "OK" and played some The Ascent for about 10 minutes before the driver crashed and reverted to base settings. So, dunno :p it doesn't really help if I OC myself, either. It'll crash at some point or other no matter what. I haven't managed to get it to sit at any kind of stable OC ever, but again, maybe I just don't care enough.
