Question Overclock RX 470+i5 3570 strange score
Hello friends! I have a curious question...
My PC specs are: CPU i5 3570, motherboard 1155h61, 8GB DDR3 RAM, ASUS Strix RX 470 with 8GB VRAM, power supply is an FSP hexa 85+ 650W.
The graphics card runs at default settings – 1250 GHz and 1650 VRAM.
I’ve tested the same performance in benchmarks and games (same settings), and I tried underclocking to 1200MHz or overclocking to 1435MHz.
What I observed:
- Raising the frequency causes the GPU to drop my FPS.
- Lowering the default frequency gives a slight boost in FPS.
- Temperature stays below 70°C.
What do you think is going on?
It seems like you're experiencing a CPU bottleneck, where your processor is reaching its maximum capacity before the graphics card. If you share specific game examples and the FPS you're seeing, we can evaluate them against other benchmarks using the RX 470.
For certain AMD graphics cards (such as the vega 56), undervolting is the main method to improve performance, since they tend to reach maximum power consumption before achieving higher clock speeds if operating at standard voltages. I haven’t experienced this issue with an RX 470. To try, set the power limit to +50% and attempt a slight undervolt with increased core frequencies. If it manages to hit the desired speed, you should be okay.
