RX 580 under performing?

[ryanmilsy1]

so recently, i built my own computer for the first time. im pretty new to all this computer stuff, so bear with me. i got a radeon RX 580 devil powercolour, since i saw a lot of online benchmarks saying it can get 56fps average in assassins creed odyssey. my card however only roduces a 22 fps average. ive tried overclocking it to 1500mhz as my friend suggested, but that only gave me like 1 or 2 fps boost. it is not a matter of the CPU bottlenecking it either, since i have a Ryzen 7 1700. here are my specs:

-Radeon RX 580 8gb Devil
-Ryzen 7 1700
-16gb 3000 RAM
-EVGA supernova g2 750 W 80+ gold

if you need any other information, just ask. i hope i can get this solved and get the most out of my card.

I would check and make sure you are running the latest drivers. Also if you recently changed to a different graphics card I'd recommend using Display Driver uninstaller to get rid of the old drivers and install a fresh copy from AMD or Nvidia.

Download your chipset drivers for Ryzen Power Plan Click Here Once downloaded restart your computer.

Next I'd recommend going into the BIOS and enabling XMP mode for your Memory. RYZEN LOVES HIGH RAM SPEED.

First your ram is running at 2400 mhz, need to enable xmp/docp in bios

Second your gpu is definitely not up to full speed

Download msi afterburner and check to see if the boost clock is spinning all the way up when running the benchmark

I'd also make sure your BIOS is up to date. Follow what Supahos said....

okay, i turned on XMP, and now the benchmarking program says this: "ERROR: Plane GPU benchmark failed, aborting further tests on this GPU". i already had afterburner, and yes, its getting to 1500 mhz when testing.

 

[Supahos]

Xmp shouldn't effect the GPU.. that's odd

 

[Supahos]

1500 is the actual clockspeed? That's a pretty significant oc and I think 1340 is the stock boost clock

Close everything and run the test again.

quick correction, its only reaching about 1150 mhz at this time. when i play games it reaches 1500 though, but no difference. ill retry one more time

still fails at the same spot.

Yeah I just realized that 1500MHZ is like watercooling overclocks. That's a pretty darn good OC. However revert the GPU back to stock and turn the power limit up to max.

Try the 2019 AMD Drivers.....

tried this, still wont test the GPU. should i try turning XMP off and seeing if that solves it? here are the results it did gather though: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/13828284

Ram is still running at 2400 for some.reason too

What do you reccomend I do now?

 

[SubaruWRX244]

XMP isn't even on sadly. Make sure you save settings with exiting

 

[Supahos]

Update bios if you haven't

Either way enable xmp again, but manually change speed to 2933/2966 afterwards and see if that works better

I pressed the big XMP button in BIOS though..

I'll do that and get back to you once it's done updating. Literally just got a notification that theres new updates

 

[SubaruWRX244]

One way you can make sure it's actually on by going into task manager and looking at your memory usage. It should state the clock speed

Its telling me 2400 mhz. I'll try going into bios again to make sure once the GPU updates

was able to get to 2800 mhz stable. anything above crashes. i turned off XMP as well, but the bench still crashes at the same spot. here are the new benchmarkings without gpu: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/13829097

Did you ever drop your oc on your 580? I'd aim for something like 1400 on the clockspeed with power limit maybe 110-120

i put it down to 1400 and put power limit +10%. still wont work. im going to set everything back to defaults and see if that works.
