I recently have an MSI RX570 Armor with 4GB OC. In the BIOS, the core clock is listed as 1268MHz, but when I benchmark or test the GPU, it only reaches around 1190MHz. Increasing the core voltage didn’t help at all. I tried setting it to 1320, which is below the card’s override limit, but the clock stayed at 1190MHz. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks for your help.

You might be reaching the maximum power threshold, where more clock speeds won't help. Raising the voltage could actually cause more issues. It's usually better to lower the voltage slightly (most RX 570s/580 models run higher than necessary) and boost the power limit instead. Only adjust voltage if it becomes unstable while staying within the power limit.

yes, completely in agreement when the power limit reveals the significant variation, but the main clock remains unchanged, stuck at a maximum of 1170 and gradually dropping to around 900, as I believed it should be higher if the power limit were raised.

What was the power limit adjusted to, and what is the maximum setting?
The voltage is configured accordingly.
I employ AMD wattman for overclocking purposes.

by default it's 1236 core clock, nothing changed, it remains unchanged. Here are some numbers you asked about:
power limit +50 (maximum I can reach)
1080mV, and the default is 1120mV
and yes, I'm using Wattman too 😉

Yes, it's recommended to set the power limit to +50. You might also consider reducing the voltage, as your RX580 can operate at 1060 mV at 1350 MHz. Using the unigine valley benchmark could be helpful. Furmark tends to consume too much power, which may push you toward the lower limit.

i wonder if pugbg could help boost my gpu's performance, so perhaps i should try using it to test:v.
i believe i've reached the point where undervolting is too far, since pushing another -20 on core voltage might trigger a crash.

Absolutely, it could be as low as possible, but each GPU behaves differently. I'd fine-tune in smaller steps, like 5 or 10 mV at a time.

but hey TJ, can i ask you this, i notice the 570 and 580 have the same gpu, so can i flash rx580 bios into 570? and if yes, will there be any instability? and if not, can i revert back to the old bios when something goes wrong?

and my card doesn't have dual bios either, by the way
