rmation about RX 580 overclocking assistance
Hello!
I just got a Gigabyte Aorus RX 580 with 8GB RAM and wanted to explore overclocking possibilities. Would anyone mind sharing some stable benchmarks or safe settings that could help me notice improvements in games? I’m not sure how much I should push the temperatures, but I’d appreciate a range that’s noticeable yet manageable.
Current idle temps: around 30°C with fans on, dropping to 44°C with semi-passive fans and 68-72°C during gameplay.
Thanks ahead of time!
I'd begin by checking the stock clock speeds and gradually increase them in steps of 10-20 MHz (perhaps 20-25 MHz for memory clock). Continue this process for core clock initially, then halt when temperatures exceed 80, fans become too loud, or stability issues arise. In cases of instability, consider boosting voltage to reach higher speeds. Set a maximum power limit right from the start and keep monitoring frequency changes. Once a core speed is determined, repeat the procedure for memory speed, observing for any instability and stopping before further adjustments are possible.
Each GPU boosts performance in its own way. You gradually increase the speed until issues appear, then go back to the previous stable setting.
TJ Hooker explains that each GPU overclocks uniquely, suggesting a gradual increase until issues appear, then returning to the previous stable setting. He advises considering whether to boost the memory clock in addition to the GPU clock, aiming for a modest performance gain without extreme changes. The base GPU speed is 1365 and the memory clock is 2000.
I'd begin by checking the stock clock rates and gradually increase them in steps of 10 to 20 MHz (perhaps 20 to 25 for memory clock). Focus on core clock initially, then halt when temperatures exceed 80, fans become too loud, or stability issues arise. If instability occurs, consider boosting voltage to reach higher speeds. Set a maximum power limit right away and keep an eye on frequency changes to confirm adjustments are effective.
Once a core speed is determined, repeat the process for memory speed, monitoring for instability and stopping when further adjustments aren't possible. For extra precision, run benchmarks periodically while increasing clocks to verify real performance gains.
There are many GPU overclocking guides available, and most advice should still be relevant for any card you use.
TJ Hooker would begin by checking the stock clock speeds, adjusting in steps of 10 to 20 MHz (possibly 20 to 25 MHz for memory clock). Focus on core clock initially, then halt when temperatures exceed 80 degrees, fans become noisy, or stability issues arise. If instability occurs, consider raising voltage to achieve higher speeds. Set a maximum power limit from the start and keep monitoring frequency changes. For memory speed, continue similar steps, stopping at the first signs of instability since adjustments aren't possible there. Running benchmarks periodically while increasing clocks can help verify real performance gains. There are many GPU overclocking guides available, and most advice remains relevant for most cards. Thanks for your thorough response; you've gained useful insights. Have a great day!
