Asking for decent overclocking capabilities under linux without needing to flash the bios is asking too much?

Originally posted by Brisse View PostThe firmware protection is already cracked and people have been successfully flashing Vega 64 firmware onto 56 cards, which apparently doesn't unlock any shader units, but it does raise the power limit to the same level as the 64, which should be safe to do because they both have identical, and very beefy VRM. Performance does increase noticeably and gets close to the 64 despite no unlocked shader units. Looks like the power limit is the biggest bottleneck on the Vega 56.

On my current Polaris I use radeon-profile https://github.com/marazmista/radeon-profile
Coupled with a recent kernel it allows basic fan control and limited overclocking/underclocking.

To my knowledge, there is no way to enable a custom V-BIOS on Vega cards. You can only use existing ones and transfer them. But I've heard from an overclocker (buildzoid), that there is a overwrite for Linux to apply new values after start. This is the solution I search for.

Seriously, why is anyone talking about flashing VBIOS these days other than the fact someone figured out the details for VBIOS clock/voltage manipulation years ago and nobody has apparently done the same with the drivers ?Last edited by bridgman; 06 September 2017, 05:44 PM.Test signature
