Hi all!

At the beginning I want to mention that it’s my first post on such a website. I am also not a specialist in topic of GPUs. I know couple of things but they are basically common knowledge.

Now I will explain my “problem”. There are no issues with my GPU (good temps, nice performance) but since I updated to latest recommended driver on my Radeon RX 5600XT MSI Gaming X the memory clock started to behave rather strange. In idle it is stuck in boost mode and there would be nothing strange in it if it was steady. No, it fluctuates (1744-1756MHz). I am afraid that it maybe caused by PSU (Be Quiet! Power 8 500W). Pretty budget-like PSU, I know.
On previous driver memory boost clock was steady.

I’ve managed to fix idle boost state of memory. I had to change synchronisation mode in Radeon Software when you configure non-default resolution, but I’m not entirely sure what that changes.
I also downgraded driver to previous recommended version.

Should I update to the newest driver version?

Thanks in advance!
