Take a look at my post one page back. You might need to use my slider and apply trick. Otherwise you may need to add some core voltage to your GPU. Good luck!

It’s a nice -15C this morning in my neck of the woods of The Great White North. With the PC getting a nice draft (wind is blowing the wrong way for strong outside air blowing in) I was finally able to hit 15k on stock voltages with +160 core, +1200 mem, power and fans at max.

With the classy tool I was able to get a little higher 15.145k for my highest yet (and #3 Leaderboard with a 5900x) but I think I’ll need a stronger draft and colder temps to see better. I also think I could have let it stabilize with the colder air a little longer.

I tried your suggestion, and not sure if it worked. Funny thing is, gpuz is actually saying my card is sometimes idling during port royal runs lol. That’s definitely not right.


Also it seems to indicate that I’m being power throttled when the tdp is at 111% ish?

I’m getting even lower scores than before hmm... 14952 was my highest before but now same settings is getting me 14283... I’m stumped.

Yeah I’m with you now. I’m trying again this morning and finding that my trick isn’t working anymore. I’m also seeing lower power draws again with the same settings as last night and as you have. I’m going to keep troubleshooting and I’ll report back if I find the culprit.

So I honestly think it might have something to do with the way my antivirus software is behaving. I usually disable the McAfee scanner service before a run and I didn’t do that this morning and saw that my power draws were abysmal. I just went in and disabled it and I’m back up to my normal score range (albeit lower now since my PC is warm now). Anyways I wonder if that could affect power draw so severely.

I think x1 might be the culprit. Tried with afterburner same settings and got 14997. Honestly have no idea what exactly x1 is messing up, but oh well.

@kdjkdk

That’s interesting and it makes sense. I’m getting increasingly skeptical of PX1 and its glitches and I may try Afterburner as well. I’ll see if that makes any difference for me and report back. Thanks for the update!

Finally hit 15071 with +165/1200

It’s not stable though, so just for benchmarks I guess lol
