your rx 480 seems to struggle with overclocking unexpectedly.
your rx 480 seems to struggle with overclocking unexpectedly.
I own a sapphire rx480 nitro edition card with 8GB RAM, and the maximum overclock I can achieve remains unchanged, no matter the power limit. My current specs are coreclock at 1370 MHz and memory clock at 1866 MHz. On forums, people report that pushing memory clocks above 1866 leads to unstable performance and noticeable micro stutter. Have I simply missed a good upgrade opportunity, or is it related to my old motherboard? The board in use is a GIGABYTE F2A78M HD2.
R_1 :
what are your specs?
if you know there is a bottleneck why are you overclocking it?
mainly because i wanted to see its overclocking capabilities for my next pc
my specs are:
amd a8-6600k
Gigabyte f2a78m hd2
radeon rx480
8gb ddr3 @ 1600mhz
be quiet pure rock
also i have a corsair cx 600w so lots of headroom.
the cpu is limiting the gpu's performance. pushing the gpu now feels like street racing in a school zone. even with a ferarri, the speed limit still applies. wait for the new system to overclock for better results. the cpu will gain more memory bandwidth and speeds. how old is the cx600m? if you're close to the warranty expiration, replace it soon.

It's about six months old—bought it with my previous model that began emitting smoke when turned on.
