[Guru3D] MSI Afterburner 4.2 Final is Out

[n0x1ous]

Just an FYI that Unwinder has implemented Fiji voltage control up to +96mv (Trixx only could do +72)

My Fury X is stable @ 1175 core, 525 HBM with +96mv which i could not hit with the +72 from Sapphire Trixx.

You can add as many volts in Trixx as you'd like:

Correct and you can in AB as well, I was referring to out of the box functionality

So Noxious, let me get this straight. 6 months after the Fury X has come out, you're FINALLY able to unlock the full potential and get yourself a 17.5% OC?

What was your OC before?

What's the power consumption of the total system at stock vs with the full OC?

Sorry, lots of questions, but this is just ridiculous on AMDs part. I wanted Fury X, but I was NOT willing to wait forever for the tools needed.
This just compounds my general frustration of not being able to find information sometimes because AMD at this point is now a much smaller userbase than Nvidia.

That is a 12% overclock, not 17.5%. Fury X is clocked @ 1050MHz stock.

Notice any performance increase with the new overclock n0x1ous?

True thinking of nano clocks. The 17.5% was pretty close to 20% but with correct clocks now it looks like 15% is your best bet.

Oh dear god, I hope it's cold where you are!

Not sure on the power consumption as I haven't tested with my kill-a-wat yet but don't really care one way or another. Before, I was running at stock because I could only get 1075 out of it without voltage.

Yeah Unwinder said that AMD voltage controllers are specific to chips and take a lot of research and effort to add the functionality, whereas Nvidia is a piece of cake.

Yeah, roughly 7-10% from what I can tell. Temps are about 1C higher so basically no effect on heat or noise of the card as would be expected with the CLC

Oh dear god, I hope it's cold where you are!

It is

100Mhz is a pretty decent improvement. A 12% OC on HBM too might give you more consistent gains.

AMD's powertune has been more fine-grained than nvidia's and Fiji seems to have upped it a notch more.

Oh I am aware. I have been fighting with the crazy clock gating in place on fiji since the crimson drivers. Waiting for Unwinder to defeat powerplay on Fiji now....at the moment have to resort to using Asus GPU Tweak 2 to force 3d clocks on and off otherwise.

I mean, it makes sense for the Nano to have that I guess, but not for Fury X

I may try to go to 550 on the HBM

Thanks noxious ya I understand I have a lot of question as I'm sure a lot of people do about fury x oc potential and power consumption. But nice to know the card is quiet no matter what. I'll be interested to see how fiji holds up vs arctic Islands

Well at least it proves all the naysayers that Fiji will never have voltage control or ludicrous statements made earlier in the year how AMD purposely disabled voltage control since Fiji was supposedly fragile and could die from overvolting. It seems Unwinder's statements that he needed the actual card in his hand to enable it were spot-on -- no conspiracy theories.

On the other hand, +96mV to get 125mhz isn't that great considering how well GM200 overclocks. Seems AMD's architecture and transistor density may be playing some factor in Fiji's ability to overclock.

Not sure this will improve with AI.

BTW, you know would be cool? If you tested your FX8350 OC vs. i7 3770K OC when paired with these GPUs:

1) Fury X OC
2) 980Ti
3) 980Ti SLI

To see how much the FX8350 is holding back a single flagship AMD card, a single flagship NV card and dual NV cards.

It's possible that in some games your FX8350 is bottlenecking the Fury X so that the 1175mhz is largely wasted. Would be good to see data providing or disproving this assertion.

It's likely it is a bottleneck but the AMD rig is an HTPC/Gaming PC in my living room and the intel/nvidia is my primary desktop gaming PC for the man cave. so the Fury X is getting used on a 1080p 60hz panel and for most games that I have the horsepower to spare i am using VSR to put it to use.

At some point I'll just do a motherboard/CPU upgrade on it to Zen or whatever Lake intel has out at that time.
