BookrV and the little Script that could

Community Blog

Okay, so i have this little script that OCs AMDGPUs especially the Vega56

Like all the projects i start, i start them but never finish them.

BUT I MUST PREVAIL!

So this #Devember2k18 i shall finish this little thing and help out people who dont know how to OC their Vega Cards under Linux

-edith-

Here it is the first draft:

Its only a .sh script and if you run the AMDGPU drivers it should work just by running it with sudo or as root.

PLEASE CONSIDER
this is hastly and badly written
and if you run it, thats on you.
THERE IS NO WARRANTYFOR NOTHING

I don’t have a vega card, but this is a nice little project. :slightly_smiling_face:

… oh, I see AMDGPUs in general!

good luck!

I can test rx480 and Vega56 but the script uses the AMDGPU drivers, so it should work on all cards, but i guess testing rx480s and Vega56s should cover most AMD cards that most people have.

so I do have the raijintek morhpeus II now and will mod one of the Vega56 with it.

I dont wanna to that much of benchmarks and all, because there are still a lot of parameters that a lot of people haven’t figured out, so the findings will be somewhat legit but won’t be “the standard” of vega56 benchmarks.

anyhow:

i have a couple of steam games on linux and will build a little “test rig”.

I’ll post what games I have and then i would ask you people to gather some “benchmarks” on an “out of the box” linux install and then with all the bells and whistles and my script, so we have a comparison.

godspeed, folks.

I also have no trackimg of temp regarding fan control.

And no auto oc functuon when steam is running.

So be aware.

Do you know if its possible to just raise the power limit and the gpu will self fan/clock adjust?

Yeah that doesnt work. Raising the powerlimit is necessary but you need to set the profile to either high or performance then it will work. Dont know why it doesnt do that by itself.
