Hey Gang,
I haven't owned an ATI-... AMD card since the 9700 Pro and I am thrilled to have picked up a Sapphire RX 480 8GB for a great price. Everything seems to be going well, except one thing keeps nagging me...
I have been toying around in Wattman and using GPU-Z as a secondary means to identify the frequency at which the core and memory of the card are running during normal operation and benchmarks and I noticed that the card is constantly changing the memory frequency from 2000Mhz to 300Mhz both in desktop and even during benchmarks. I did a little reading and found that AMD implemented dynamic thermal controls but the problem is that the card emits a horrible coil whine, more of a buzz actually, whenever this frequency shift occurs.
I have confirmed that the core frequency is not throttling and maintains a constant 1266Mhz during benchmarks so any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Is there a way to keep the memory clock stable at 2000Mhz? Nothing I've done in Wattman seems to change this.
Thank You!
