My core clock speeds do not increase to the max on every application or game. My core clock is 1000...on high demand applications/games that's what it maxes out at. Other lesser games may run 950-975, etc.
Are you making these Wattman settings in the Global settings, or the game profile?
Increasing your temperature threshold isn't helping anything.
Do you have the Computer Power Plan set to "Performance" and not the default "Balanced"?
Can you post a screenshot of these wattman settings?
I make sure it's in the global settings. I've been testing it just out on Forza Horizon 4 right now in order to limit any applications running. I downloaded hwinfo (made sure it's not scanning what it shouldn't on my mobo) in order to monitor all temperatures.
I have had my power limit set to max and I made sure to disable any energy saving modes in the BIOS. Yeah I noticed increasing my temperatures doesn't help and I tried checking on afterburner (it's not installed, I just wanted to see what would happen if I didn't use wattman/uninstalled wattman and installed afterburner) and it doesn't allow it to go past 76-78C either.
I drilled 80MM of ventilation in the top of my case for better airflow in order to account for the VRMS and CPU temperatures although they weren't showing any issues to begin with. I don't have any Asus software installed except Aura, SonicSuite, and there's a "asus com service" that's been running since clean install, I'm pretty sure it's a Windows application though.
Here's a screenshot of my settings.
I'm stumped honestly, both afterburner, asus, and wattman have confirmed I can go up to 90C. I'm not sure if there's something in my BIOS preventing me from hitting my overclock, but I'm fairly confident it's going between the stock overclock and my overclock like a confused child or something of the nature. I will try out the settings from your screenshot and see what I can make. I do want to try adjusting the overclock though in contrast to the screenshot shown is at stock settings. I did notice AMD has a graphics profile option that I have set to "optimized performance". You right click on the AMD tray icon and you'll see the graphics profile options.
1. Target temp should be set as I have shown. That is the temperature the fans will become engaged....and will automatically increase to keep the temp under the Max temp you have set (75c), You have it set just opposite. Pull it all the way down.
2. Max temperature should be @ 75c (167degF). You have it set to 99c (210degF) which is the thermal max and it will throttle.
I setup everything the way it is in your screenshot. When applying the target temperature all the way down, it goes to 40. I set it to 75 max and 40 C. No difference in performance. I set it to 40 target and 90 max, no difference. When trying to set the fan to automatic, it will revert the target temperature to 70 from 40. Running it in automatic is no different. After applying the settings, it is still stuck at the stock overclock.
The PC is in high performance. No third party apps installed. I made sure the BIOS isn't trying to install ASUS Grid and I made sure the BIOS was updated as well. Background task aren't by any third parties either. The BIOS reads my GPU as 1300/7000 as well although when I boot into windows it will show the overclock.
At the stock settings, it will run the same as overclocked now despite changing between frequency and dynamic. I tried a reset on it as well and re-applied the settings with no luck.
The Max temp should be set a manual...did you click apply at the top of the page.
Whats all this about?
So I reset drivers to factory defaults, setup my display, setup my global gaming settings, setup the overclock as specified (although AMD won't let me do automatic fan with automatic temperature) and it still won't let me overclock. I have it set to a 13% overclock, but it never gets over it's stock overclock except for a couple seconds. The memory clock is just fine. I am not going over 68C in these test either as opposed to earlier it wouldn't let me go over 78C. I'm not sure why that is either. I'm absolutely confident though the temperature is being throttled somehow. Even at 100% load it only hits 70C but won't stay at over 1270 mhz. Something is definitely not right here as far as not being able to overclock my GPU.
