Question Why doesn't my GPU reach max boost speed?

[acskrisz100]

Hi, the problem I have is whenever I play intense games my gpu doesn't reach it's full boost speed and this causes huge FPS loss. I tried reinstalling Windows and resetting the drivers too. The only time I can get the boost speed is I turn up the power limit by 50% which causes my GPU to reach 80C+ with 3500RPM fan speed. My gpu: Msi Rx 570 4GB OC. What can I do to resolve the issue?

What is the max boost speed for your card and what speed does it generally boost too?

Max boost speed is only achieved when thermals and power levels are within certain limits. If the cooler cannot keep it within the thermal limit you won’t get max boost speed.

The max boost speed is 1268 Mhz. The boost depends on the type of workload when playing a game like GTA 5 I get full boost speed, but when I play with Far Cry 5 I only get about 1080 Mhz.

What CPU/memory?

My CPU is a Ryzen 5 2600X. My ram is Kingston Hyperx Fury 2x4GB 2666mhz.

Just the 8 GB of memory? Not 2 pairs? (just making certain)

Yes only 8GB.

I don't do gaming, nor windows, but my knee-jerk reaction is that you really want to bring that up to 16GB.
