Fury/x Voltage Unlock Incoming

1215 on the core, 625 on the HBM @1453mV

That voltage sounds incredibly high.

I don't know much about gpu overclocking but that is just 200mV above the saphire fury oc.

200mv is nothing to sneeze at. That's a ton of voltage being applied for that clock speed. Fury X stock voltage is 1.2v. At first it shows him/her adding +100mv, then it goes to +375mv, then to + another number that I can't make out. The quality is really bad... Adding that much voltage and running FurMark --- face enters palm...

Awesome news for Fury X owners. Good thing it has a water cooler because that voltage is going to accelerate the extinction of Polar Bears.

That might be the worst video I've ever seen.

How does that score compare to a stock or OCd 980ti?

Edit: The voltage slider in afterburner looks like it stops at +100mv, where's the other 100 coming from?

maybe this kinda reaction was the reason why they went so conservative with overclocking the fury/x

 

[n0x1ous]

thats way too much voltage for that clock.....its gonna bump up against the 75C temp limit at that.

was hoping to see 1200 - 1250 mhz with +100mv out of it......

 

[MagickMan]

and how long will it last with an additional 200mV applied? Sounds excessive for anything but benchmarks.

 

[Silverforce11]

It didn't blow up in Furmark with that much vcore? heh

 

[Stuka87]

Either this video isn't real, or he was just showing that you can set the voltage that high?

I am starting to think that as well. Showing how high you can go due to the board's power. I guess we will see how high these will go soon enough, and how well it scales when OC'd.

Well I think AMD's engineers know a thing or two about their architecture and TSMC's process with respect to clock speeds and voltage. So I'm going to guess that Fiji is clocked and locked the way it is because the chip is clocked aggressively to begin with (like Hawaii) and AMD doesn't want to deal with a high failure rate 9-12 months into a card's warranty.

 

[Despoiler]

Looks fake. I might have missed it, but I didn't see anything in the video that showed a Fury X was the card being used. Also, if you look at the 3dmark links, the core clocks line up with what reviewers were getting with stock OCing. They do not line up with what is in the video.

 

[Headfoot]

In this thread everyone assumes a couple blurry screenshots of one guy's pre-release OC utility on one particular Fury X is indicative of ALL Fury X's on release utilities.

Lol.

HAHA! Nice! :thumbsup:

I hope this is just a bad mod video, for it to take that much volts to get them clocks. Mother of God!

At work so can't see all the links, were there any temp info? Or power draw?

Is this Uniwinder?

what 75C temp limit

 

[Azix]

It really does not look like he went about trying to fine tune his OC. I'd agree with those saying it was just to show the limit.

AMD can say its the overclockers dream all they want, they sure as heck can't officially allow people to turn up voltage that high. AFAIK voltage changes are always in third party software so regardless of their claims they have to let those third party groups find their way to voltage controls. CCC allows just power targets and clock targets.

nightmares only happens when you're HOT. at +200mV this is going to be causing overclocker NIGHTMARES from their hot rooms and NOT dreams lol.

jk

personally, I don't care too much. It's not like you're gaming 24/7. It's more important that AMD performs well. Also, look at the TDP consumption of the 980Ti when IT'S overclocked 30%...it's not pretty, either

well I sure want a way to turn up the voltage on my 7850! 1225mv takes me to 1150mhz and I still have plenty of thermal room-- only 74C at 40% fan

Voltage alone means nothing, and no , quality is not bad at all, quite the contrary...

In that case the overclocking to 1215MHz get you 69% more power than at stock, it s exactly the same if you overclock a Nvidia card by 30% while keeping the same voltage margin for the GPU, there s no miracles contrary to what we can read here and there..

Now the important part is the perf delta for said frequency delta, is there some numbers..??.

The card was advertised as being able to handle 500w load right? Or the cooler was.... So that's how I see it as well. Ocers dream in that no matter how noob you are you are guaranteed a good oc?

Ya I have a ton of room on 7950 I'm guessing. Although it starts to get loud which is annoying which is why fury x oc results are crucial to me.

I'm terribly afraid we're going to run into driver performance issues TBH.

15.7 was a good driver overhead improvement right? Combine that with Windows 10 I think it's fine.
