XFX AMD Radeon VII 16GB HBM2, 1750 MHz Boost, 1801 MHz Peak, 3xDP 1xHDMI Pci-E 3.0 $569.99 Running on Air. Now $529.99
Shipped EK-Vector Radeon VII RGB - Nickel + Plexi ($95.99) (Now $79.99) + EK-Vector Radeon VII Backplate - Nickel ($29.99) Both for less than $150 or €113.81
Installed on;
Motherboard EVGA X299 DARK, 151-SX-E299-KR, LGA 2066
CPU Intel Core i9-7920X Skylake X 12-Core 2.9 GHz
Memory G.SKILL 4x Ripjaws V Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) F4-3600C17Q-32GVK
Replaced the EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FE Graphics Card with the EK Water Block and Back Plate.
 
So far I had to Down Clock the GPU to Fold on this Graphics Card.
Running for about 12 hours now and have had 5 Complete and 6 9 12 Failed so far.
GPU Temperatures are only 45°C - 55°C or less but the Hot Spot is seeing 65°C - 75°C.
Fans running 90% or 3850 RPM Voltage 1.100V Memory 920 MHz to 1000 MHz and the GPU Clock running at 1390 MHz - 1770 MHz.
The AMD Radeon VII Runs at about the same as a NVIDIA GTX 1080 Ti Graphics Card.
Stock Settings
 
I did not see any issues with Crunching BOINC GPU Projects, None.

    I was getting up to 1.8 million PPD on mine with core 21, no bad tasks at all.
    Why are they failing?
     
    The high temp, not sure why they even show it. It can be as much as 115 or more and be in spec.

    Temperatures seem fine and dropping to 1700 did not help so I will drop down to 1600 now and maybe drop the Memory now as well to maybe
    All I see is this error
    21:45:00:WU00:FS00:0x21:Bad State detected... attempting to resume from last good checkpoint. Is your system overclocked?
    21:45:00:WU00:FS00:0x21:ERROR:114: Max Retries Reached

    But I am not overclocking the Graphics Card.
    Boost Clock - 1750MHz
    Peak Clock - 1801 MHz
    May I should remove the Beta Flag....
    Running this now.
     Dropped to 1600 MHz and the Memory to 800 MHz

    What program are you using to raise and lower clock speed?
    I ran mine at stock 1800 and lowered the voltage to 1025 and used wattman in the AMD driver package with a plus 10 on the power setting
    I left the memory at stock 1000

    On these cards it is good to drop the voltage some. Helps most with temps

    Current Settings being used.

     
    Default Settings.

     
    I will keep the Default settings on the next WU and set the Core Voltage to 1025 and see how it goes.

    What ver of catalyst driver software?
    How many GPU monitoring software do you have running at once? They say running more than one can cause issues.
    Maybe close all of those programs, use the wattman that comes in the MD package.
    It is under games then the tab to the right, it is the middle tab.
    Try leaving GPU and mem at stock, up the voltage some to 1070 use the fan section to set a fan curve.
    Try setting the power to 0 or -10 and see if that helps.

    So far the Settings Posted in #8 worked for the last 10 hours or so.
    The Driver I am running is win10-64bit-radeon-software-adrenalin-2019-edition-19.11.3-nov18.
    Have to look to see if and what version Catalyst is installed. I am not seeing Catalyst installed.
    GPU-Z and Aida64 Extreme
    I will look at the Game Settings after this WU Completes under the Adrenalin Driver.

    I did get this just now;
    14:03:00:WU00:FS00:0x21:Completed 300000 out of 7500000 steps (4%)
    14:04:18:WU00:FS00:0x21:Bad State detected... attempting to resume from last good checkpoint. Is your system overclocked?
    14:07:16:WU00:FS00:0x21:Completed 375000 out of 7500000 steps (5%)
    But it is still running now at 58% so maybe I will drop another 25 MHz on the GPU Clock and up the Voltage to 1050.

    If you right click in the center of the home screen it should give you the option to open the AMD software.
    Or do you see a bunch of red dots in a circle like in the taskbar or the /\ up arrow on the far right of the taskbar?
    That is the icon for AMD software.

    Not using AB here only the AMD Software


    AMD Software Auto Overclock, Auto Under clock and Auto Memory is Grayed Out.

    Not using AB here only the AMD Software, Folding seems to be working ATM but need to wait until at lest 80%
    Mega 17 runs smooth and Folding is all over the place but this is normal for Folding WUs. 

     
    Also now way to set the Fan in the AMD Software.

    You are still using two monitoring programs at once with GPU-z and the AMD.
    Try to use only the AMD to check temps and power and load, just for a while.
    It is hitting the same sensors with two programs at the same time, can cause issues.
    Worth a try anyway.

    I ignore the hot spot, don't know why they even show it. I bet the Nvidia GPUs have a hot spot to they never show.
    Either way I am sure once we both get the blocks installed it will be lower.

    GPU-Z and Aida64 Extreme never used the AMD Software before today.
    Testing Now Without GPU-Z Running, I do not normally use GPU-Z.
    I only have Aida64 Extreme Displaying on my KB Led now.
    Also not logging a file in GPU-Z.

    And yes you can set the fan, I have a custom fan curve.

    In the wattman program, scroll down to where you see the fan section, it has yellow dots woth a yellow line connecting the dots
    Make an adjustment and then hit apply.
    What ever change you make you have to hit apply in the top bar on the right side I do believe

    Isn't that GPU-z in all the pics on the left side with the red lines?

    Thanks, Looking now.
    Seems to Fold OK with using only the AMD Software Auto Overclock Setting.
     
    I have to set to Manual to change the Under Voltage or Auto Memory
    If Auto Overclock is Enabled then the Fan and Voltage and even Memory is Grayed out.
    PS Do not run Auto Memory when you are Folding

    Takes a while to get used to their program. Seems to work ok.
    I did read somewhere that the older ver. of it after this GPU came out works better then the newest ver.
    I think I am on an older ver, I have to check. It is on a clean new win10 install just 2 weeks ago.
    Not sure what I did not, have to look.

    I set the Fan to Max and then Set the Auto Overclock in the AMD Software.
    The Voltage really shot up. I can set the Memory to over 1400 MHz but will leave it at the Default Setting.

     
    I will let it Fold for the rest of the day and then retest some of the BOINC GPU Projects. 
    It is a big learning curve compared to using a NVIDIA Graphics Card.

    Folded All Night Without any issue, thanks Bill for your help with this card.

    You're welcome.  I was doing 1.2m to 1.35m PPD on some WUs and 1.7 to 1.8m on core 21.
    How are you making out?

    I don't know much about AMD, but I do know on Nvidia cards, that undervolting or overclocking,is  a main cause of failed Wu's. (On Nvidia GPUs).
    Undervolting or overclocking errors, will give the same error in FAH console.
     
    I stay away from undervolting, and let the driver deal with the voltage. 
    And only use the power slider, to cap the power.
     
    This gives 2 advantages:
    1- No undervoltage errors
    2- Dynamically adjust frequency to the most optimal (without errors).
     
    This last one is important, when you're able to get the card's temperature down, as the Nvidia driver can get close to stock boost speeds (within 50-150Mhz), when the card is cold enough (and with an overclock).
     
    Doing it this way, I can actually overclock, and power cap;and just focus on tuning my overclock settings. The rest, the driver takes care for.
     
    I realize this thread is about AMD and not Nvidia, but perhaps there are some parallels between the brands.

    Between 1,097,192 - 1,566,936 so far.
    But it is utterly time to run some more Moo! now
