[SOLVED] Easiest way for overclocking Vega 64

[dylanjmarley01]

Easiest way to overclock the Vega 64? Saphhire nitro+ stock cooler. Thanks

MSI afterburner is a popular choice. Asus gpu tweak is probably the easiest. But afterburner has more options and is still easy. There are others also. Most work fine.

The words Easy and overclocking don't belong in the same sentence, especially when it comes to Vega 64. Patience is the name of the game.

If you're not looking to put the time and effort in I suggest the new 18.12.3 drivers, in Wattman there is an Auto Overclock mode, its worth a try. Probably better than you'd do "the easy way". You don't need Afterburner or any of that, for now.

Msi ab is probably the best due to its on screen overlay. I'd say run your card for a bit to get an idea of how it works. When you feel up to it slowly increase core and mem clock values. These will be minimal increases plus one hundred for example. Your gains in performance will come from increasing power target. Be aware it will suck power like nobodys business, the nitro has a great cooler so temps shouldn't be an issue. Increasing voltage has had little affect for me with the nitro card. Keep in mind people are reporting better clock speeds by under volting and underclocking but I haven't had success with that

Okay so on After burner, I set the fan speed higher and it just goes back to zero. Do you know why?

Did you really just tell him minimal increases and then 100mhz. If you dump 100mhz off the bat on a Vega it WILL crash. And nobody has gotten any performance increases by underclocking, undervolting in some cases yes.

OP here are a couple guides. You don't need anything fancier than wattman to do this which is built into the driver, but if you prefer Afterburner it works too.

UP TO plus 100mhz on core or mem clock for example........

Read what you wrote again, to someone who doesn't know anything about overclocking, you told them to add 100mhz off the bat (which you should never ever do). Heck to me, someone who does, thats clearly what was written.

You don't have an RX Vega 64 and overclocking it is different than the RX 580 and Nvidia cards you do have, but in no case is adding 100mhz ever correct.
