Hello,
I have adjusted my AMD Radeon RX 590 GPU using MSI Afterburner and performed tests with Heaven Benchmark. The outcomes were quite intriguing. Using the standard Afterburner configuration (or not modifying anything), I achieved significantly better performance in Heaven Benchmark compared to when I overclocked the GPU. This result was unexpected, as one would expect improved performance from increasing core and memory clocks via afterburner. Could you clarify why this happened?

It might be related to temperature concerns. What temperatures are you experiencing during heavy use with the updated settings?
