Question 1080p 75hz gpu reccomendations please.

[brichards518]

just built my first gaming pc a few months ago looking for a new gpu. currently have a powercolor red devil rx570 4gb. just bought monitor as well. mostly play AAA games ultra setting for all. Gears5 Borderlands3 division2 codww2 and rage2. any reccomendations would be awesome!

system specs
ryzen 5 2600 cpu
corsair cx550m psu
gskill ripjawz 5 3000 16gb ram
gigabyte b450 ds3h mobo
asus 24'' 1080p 75hz freesynce monitor

Let's give this a shot. "silicon lottery" applies just like it does with CPUs, so I'm going to be a bit conservative over my own numbers to try to ensure stability for you while still trying to keep voltages low. You'll have to test to ensure stability on your particular GPU. I find it easiest to create a scatter plot of the frequency/voltage values so you can visualize what you're adjusting.

MHz / mV
590 / 850
950 / 890
1105 / 910
1175 / 930
1240 / 960
1285 / 1010
1320 / 1055
1400 / 1160 (in case you want to OC a bit, but get the 1320 validated first)

Memory voltage = 950mV (as explained in the article I linked earlier, this will set a "lower limit" to the core voltage since the core and memory get the same voltage but the memory doesn't have 7 frequency states, it's either idle or full speed. The core voltage will go below this value when the card is idle.)

And this is for brichards & King_V. My personal RX480 was running quite hot (85C @ 2400+rpm fans) even while undervolted at 1300MHz/1020mV, so I took the cooler off (4 screws), cleaned off the factory thermal paste, and applied new (Noctua NT-H1) and immediately restested with a result of 73C @ 1100-1200rpms fans on full load.
And no, the "Warranty Void if Removed" stickers are not enforceable in most countries.

It's a bit cooler in my office now that it's fall (~22C ambient), but I've had FurMark running for the past 10 minutes and I'm at 70C with 900rpm fans at 1300MHz/1020mV.
My CPU is cooled by a 120mm AIO mounted on the rear fan exhaust in my case, so I'd actually get slightly better GPU temps if my CPU were loaded also since that would cause the AIO fans to ramp up and exhaust more GPU waste heat out of my case.

Used your settings. Ran furmark for 10min seemed stable...
Custom fan curve 100%@75c
Core 1320
Memory 1750
Temp 75
Fans 99% 3600rpm
Power slider +25
Gpu power draw 160w
Vddc power draw 127w
Should I replace the thermal paste?

You'll have to decide for yourself on that. I know I would. 3600rpm fans is beyond annoying.

https://imgur.com/0b5CEeK View: https://imgur.com/0b5CEeK this was after i replaced the thermal paste which was way easier than i thought it was gonna be...lol...ran furmark for 10mins...is this good or??? i did game for a bit after as well and the card never got over 68c and core clock never fluttered...

1400MHz @ 1050mV is pretty impressive. Can't complain about 68C either.

I forgot to say, the amount of thermal paste to use on a GPU is about 1/2 - 2/3 of the size of a grain of rice. But it sounds like you figured it out.

Did you put your fans back to auto?

No should I?
I set fans back to auto sitting at about 83c during game

83C is a tad high, but not horrible. Shouldn't cause throttling at least. I presume the fans are spinning much slower now?

Enabling Chill will lower temps.

Yeah about 1125rpms
