Hi,
Just got a Pulse 6700 XT. Using AMD Adrenaline app. I only run games at 60fps, (monitor is 60fps) so I thought I would utilise the Radeon Chill setting, which allows you to set min/max fps.
However if I set the Radeon Chill slider to max to 60 fps, the game will run at anything between 48/55 fps. Tried moving the slider up to 90fps, but still the game wasnt reaching 60fps. Its not until I put the slider to 120 fps that the game then stays at constant 60fps.
Is this normal for Radeon Chill. I though that setting the max fps to 60fps would mean the game would run at that speed. I have tried a couple of different games, same result.
EDIT.. I have just read that Radeon Chill it says - During intense motion, Radeon Chill will run your FPS up to a defined FPS cap, while in instances where there’s no motion on the screen, the FPS will lower automatically to save power consumption.
Perhaps that is why it is not reaching 60FPS, though doesnt explain why it will reach 60 when set to 120 on the slider?
Ref fan curve.
What is the maximum RPM of the fans?
I decided to try Custom fan curve, as when it was on default the temps were getting quite high before fans were kicking in on faster rpm. I have set a custom fan curve, but when monitoring GPU temps in some games it jumps from 62 to 65, then down to 60, then 64, 62 etc.. changing every second or so. I noticed when viewing vids on the 6700XT that their temp hardly fluctuates. However I checked on some of my games and it does stay roughly the same, for example Far Cry 6 it hovers around 55/56/57. Fan RPM at those temps is 1600/1650. Is that normal.
My last GPU was GTX 1660 SUPER which I just plugged in and forgot about. Perhaps I am being a bit paranoid about temps etc, the fan curve I have is fairly subdued - with following settings
P1 FAN SPEED 15 TEMP 30, P2 FAN 22 TEMP 45, P3 FAN 33 TEMP 70, P4 FAN 50 TEMP 90, P5 FAN 100 TEM 95.
Occasionally GPU temp will go into 70's/occasionally 80's with 2000/2300 RPM.(approx)
I have viewed some fan curves online that are much more aggressive, i.e. 50 percent fan at 70 degrees etc. and up to 100 percent at 85 degrees.
And any other Adrenaline tweaks worth knowing about? I dont want to undervolt or overclock my card, but any other useful info on Adrenaline is appreciated.
Just wanted to check I am doing things correctly,
Thanks
