I used an RX 570 with 8GB of memory, but it was really struggling while mining or playing games at 1310 MHz. Since then, my GPU stops getting any more speed boosts from overclocking. I use AMD software drivers to try to boost the clock, but the numbers just stay stuck around 300 MHz every single time. Even when I check MSI Afterburner or other ASUS tools, nothing changes the frequency. When I run through the AMD presets in the program, it drops my speed straight down to 300 MHz again. When I try Furmark at 70 degrees C, I only get about 1150 MHz. I even reinstalled both the drivers and MSI Afterburner, but nothing helped.

Have you ever used Radeon software paired with drivers from AMD?
