I checked on youtube and even a 6500XT get some extra fps i some games with SAM enabled, i know i know, very little, but still, for free. And even if i get nothing out of it, what i love is that you can do it, breaking the rules. A 2070 is probably 50%+ faster than that, imagine having a 5800X3D...

Some people really don't like to have fun P.S. The .ffs module itself is provided pre-compiled so that is easier to use, but the source code is there, you can compile it yourself, plus, i can't see any closed-source blob. Looks decent to me

I managed to get reBar/SAM working on a Biostar X370GTN + Ryzen 1700 + RX5700XT. Pretty easy, i just needed to add the FFS module with UEFItool, save, and than flash the new modded bios.

i'm pretty sure that can be an unstable/defective vRAM module

That's just the theoretical max bandwidth, the real one depends from the core clock + IMC + timings + istructions used. I use OCLmembench or AIDA64 GPGPU to do a fast realworld test

Well, with 1500Core+2140Memory+CustomTimings you are almost touching the 250GB/s mark. That's around 40GB/s more than stock. 1500 on the core is way past the voltage/frequency sweetspot so... Good job, you pretty much maxed out this uArch :D

try the v3.3 and v3.4 and see if you get better results. going from stock to my timings should give you around 2-5% more performance, as you are starting from the 1600 strap you get less. Be sure to have 0 memory errors. Also try to start from 2000mhz and slowly increase the frequency, stop when...

try those "UberTimings" i told you about, waaay better than the stock 1600mhz strap. you might even clock the memory a bit higher while getting more raw bandwidth

the voltage floor can help, yeah, weird that you need 1200mv for 2140Mhz. How high can you clock the memory (with 0 EDC/Memory errors) on stock timings?

Polaris is crazy bandwidth starved, 2150Mhz memory + crazy tight timings are barely enough for 1350-1400Mhz on the core. sadly the voltage of the memory chips can't be changed via software on polaris cards, is a fixed 1.5v, you can measure it on the output capacitor of the vram vrm. What you can...

o_O s*hit you are right... Yeah, the situation is pretty comical

Regarding RAM power consumption Around 2W/ DDR4 RDIMM 16x 8GB 232W 4x 8GB 205W Savings: 27W That's on a server. on a desktop pc with max 4 DIMMs is not going to make a big difference. Most ITX boards use 2 dimms anyway. References...

i'll say... 1- ITX Build with a AMD 3400G APU(+ Undervolt), 3466+ Mhz Ram, All solid state Storage, 80Gold/+ Rated PSU(450w Max). You get 8 Threads and a good Vega GPU for light gaming and editing, very very good perf/watt. I really really like this config i must say. 2- ITX Build with a AMD...

write the codes/numbers of some of those 8pin chips, one must be the bios chip, you can try the 1-8 pin method, saved my RX480 3 times

Why can't a video card simply be a video card? Is it complicated?
