Recently I saw a clip in Youtube that basically said that for AMD products enabling Precision boost overdrive + AMD high performance power plan + Automatic GPU overclock is basically a must otherwise you are leaving performance on the table.

I did that but to be honest after first few hours of playing I would tend to say that overall performance somehow managed to drop.

Do you have any experience and/or suggestions regarding these 3 settings to get the best out of the hardware while not "cooking" it in a short run?

Thanks!

I have PBO on..

Ryzen balanced power plan..

GPU as standard..

My bench scores are on par with where they should be.. They actually perform better than a lot of similar systems..

You can see my specs below..

@vialli100are you talking about benchmarks for mentioned settings or or general benchmarks?

Because in my case as said I actually feel that performance has become worse and also from theoretical standpoint - you put your CPU and GPU sort of in steriod mode / race mode yet we are talking about marginal gains or actually none...

I somehow would expect "better" results if I do overclock stuff given I am theoretically decrease lifespan of the hardware but it seems so far that it is more like with new Intel GPUs = if you don't enable boost they are total crap, underperform, if you do, then it just works as expected...

I remember there was also controversy about 6series presentations where benchmarks were presented with Smart memory mode on and what not just to keep up with Nvidia 3series and my experience so far with 5700xt is similar = without boost it sucks, with boost is sucks less but still sucks.

p.s. not gonna repost my info about experience in Apex legends where 5700xt paired with 3600x is just sad story.

I think because most 6000 already have boosted clock, the difference is going to be small or worse by a little..

I enabled SAM and in 3d Mark benching gained around 300 points..
