MHZ lowers with high heat.
MHZ lowers with high heat.
I'm exploring overclocking with my MSI - Radeon RX 580 8 GB ARMOR OC card, and during the stress test, I saw the MHZ drop to lower values once it hit 183f. I'm curious if anyone can clarify how to proceed with overclocking and suggest possible solutions. I'm using MSI afterburner and Kombustor.
This appears to match the expected behavior for the card in question. It's unclear if this applies to Radeon cards, but NGreedia cards depend on a boost algorithm and any additional overclocking results in an offset rather than a fixed frequency. The boost target changes with temperature, so higher temps reduce the boost goal, causing the combined target plus offset to reach a lower frequency than observed at cooler temperatures. Improved airflow toward the GPU might help by reducing temperatures.
Alright, i managed to make it to where it didn't drop during the Metro benchmark test at 1425MHz but to my surprised the results were actually worse compared to the standard 1366. is there something im doing wrong possibly? also could i get a proper explaination for what the memory does. if i should even increase the memory speed of my GPU. thank you.
