Simplest method to boost the Vega 64 performance is using Saphire Nitro+ stock cooler. Great advice!

This seems to be the top option thanks to its on-screen overlay. Try running your card for a short time to understand its behavior. Gradually boost core and memory clock values. These adjustments will only be small changes, like adding one hundred. Your performance improvements should mainly come from raising the power target. Be aware it will drain power significantly—nitro offers a better cooling solution, so temperatures shouldn’t be a problem. Raising voltage hasn’t helped much for me with this card. Remember, some users are seeing faster clock speeds by lowering and slowing down the processor, but I haven’t tried that myself.

MSI afterburner is a well-liked option. The Asus GPU tweak seems the simplest. Afterburner offers additional features while remaining straightforward. Other alternatives exist too. They generally function properly.

The words Easy and overclocking don't belong in the same sentence, especially when it comes to Vega 64. Patience is the name of the game.
If you're not looking to put the time and effort in I suggest the new 18.12.3 drivers, in Wattman there is an Auto Overclock mode, its worth a try. Probably better than you'd do "the easy way". You don't need Afterburner or any of that, for now.

Msi ab is likely the top choice because of its on-screen overlay feature. Try running your card briefly to understand its behavior. Gradually boost core and memory clock values, starting with small changes like one hundred. Performance improvements should mainly come from raising the power target. Be aware it will drain power significantly—nitro offers a better cooling solution, so temperatures shouldn’t be a problem. Raising voltage hasn’t helped much for me with this card. Remember, some users report faster clock speeds by lowering or slowing down clocks, but I haven’t tried that.

This model seems to be the top choice thanks to its on-screen overlay. Try running your card for a short time to understand its behavior. Gradually boost core and memory clock values—just small changes, like one hundred. Performance improvements will mainly come from raising power target. Be aware it will drain power heavily, similar to others. The nitro unit has a very good cooling system, so temperatures shouldn’t be a problem. Raising voltage hasn’t made much difference for me with this card. Remember, some users report better clock speeds by lowering and slowing down the clock, but I haven’t tried that.

This setup seems to offer the strongest results thanks to its on-screen overlay feature. Start by testing your card briefly to understand its behavior. Gradually boost core and memory clock values as you become comfortable. These adjustments will only be small changes, such as adding a hundred for instance. Your performance improvements should mainly stem from raising the power target. Be aware that increasing voltage has not significantly helped me with the nitro card; the cooler design helps maintain stable temperatures. Voltage adjustments have had little impact on my experience, though some users report better clock speeds by lowering both voltage and frequency. Keep in mind that others are sharing success stories with underclocking and undervolting, but I haven’t achieved similar results.

Did you just mention minimal tweaks followed by a 100MHz boost? A sudden drop to 100MHz on a Vega will likely cause crashes. Most people haven’t seen performance gains from underclocking or undervolting, though I have in some cases.

Here are a couple of guides you might find useful:

up to more than 100mhz on core or memory clock for instance.......
Reconsider what you said before explaining it to someone unfamiliar with overclocking, as you mentioned increasing it by 100mhz right away—which is definitely not advisable. To me, anyone who does that is simply repeating what was written.
You're not dealing with an RX Vega 64, and overclocking it behaves differently from the RX 580 and other Nvidia cards you have; however, adding 100mhz is never a valid approach.
