What are your temp settings? A great place to start is 90 Max 70 target

It defaults to those temperature targets out of box.

You could open GPU-Z and look at the BIOS version then flip the switch and look again. It shouldn't be the same BIOS version.

Gpuz will show one bios, don't matter what position the switch is in.. it'll be the same number..

only difference is what's in the sub bios that makes the card react different.. ie a fan curve or a bump in frequency is all...

Usually one bios is the back up and the other is for a slight performance increase.. Back in the R9 days I got 2 custom bios's from MSI.
They were identical numbers and only difference was one was stock, (977MHz) and the other was the (1003MHz) all tied to what the gaming app would bump the clock speeds up to.

I didn't want to use the gaming app and a friend that used to work for MSI got the bios for me.

I gave it to W1zzard to go over and he couldn't tell one from the other besides bios#1 and bios#2 and then he posted it to the gpu archives.

I confirmed using ATIFLASH that XFX has used the same bios (w80) on both bios out of the box. That's why it's listed as dual bios "compatible"

 

[AntDeek]

W90 is Stealth
W80 is performance
W81 is GTR

i can once again edit OP gonna need names of new ppl so i can add them to the list

May as well add me..

Mind doing an update for me?

I run a lower temp curve, these still hold full boost just fine

Stock voltage?

 

[cdawall]

Stock voltage?

Yes they can each do 1480/2250 with voltage, but that runs too hot in xfire.

 

[AntDeek]

I found that keeping voltage at auto works really well

That doesn't let you push over stock voltage. It is worthless to me when really trying to push these cards, but then again I am limited by the BIOS TDP limit.

 

[AntDeek]

Just out of curiosity I would like to try your settings, what are you running completely?

 

[Ungari]

I found that keeping voltage at auto works really well

Also, I like to manually undervolt if I want the most efficient factory OC.
I found that I was able to reduce temps while being perfectly constant at the 1342Mhz factory clock by reducing the voltage -30 Milli-volts thus far, and think I can go even lower and still maintain that clock.
This of course, is overlooked by the Team Green fanbois who parrot "The Power Consumption, the Power Consumption, Rawwwwk!".

Just out of curiosity I would like to try your settings, what are you running completely?

I am interested in seeing how much voltage you are adding to maintain this speed, particularly since your temps are an issue at that rate. Did you increase the Temp Limit for this to stop throttling?

It would be great if everyone showed their OC Settings in WattMan to get a general idea of what is typical for these cards.

Afterburner to bump the voltage, rest was normal stuff 1480/2250, max temp set to the standard 90C.



This is my everyday gaming settings.

 

[Ungari]

Yes, but what is the voltage up to?
Also, you show max temp set to 82C.

My non-max, but a nice, practical OC. Stable.

 

[AlienIsGOD]

OP updated @cdawall

 

[biffzinker]

So far this is my maximum stable OC I can get.

 

[AntDeek]

I have another card coming in the mail today. Will test, and do a full write-up here as the end all be all of the XFX cards.

Also, could you add me? AntDeek GPU 1410 and mem 2150. 80% ASIC.

 

[cdawall]

Yes that is my everyday settings...Voltage is stock max which is 1.157v.


I want to say for my 1480/2250 I was running 1.18 or something like that. +27mv is what sticks out in my memory for my afterburner setting and that one had the temps set to 90/75

You should increase your Power Limit to the 50% maximum as 20% will hold you back from achieving a higher clock rate.
The Power Limit setting does not run all the time but adjusts automatically as needed, so it's perfectly safe.

I would if I could. The slider is maxed out at 20%. Should I try flashing the GTR BIOS?
