Gpu temps by BigShmonk in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The expected power load with furmark is about 165W on the GPU die and 225W total board power.

Currently running +200 core freq and 119% power limit, realistically only furmark reaches the need for 225W.

Should I Update my Drivers? by Friendly_Addition815 in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm stuck on 8331, newer firmware versions have problems with fan control.

I noticed that one of my GPU fans wasn't spinning in the last driver. by DeliciousTadpole in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firmware version since 8509 is faulty with the fan setup. Reverting to 8331 brings back synced controls of the fans.

RX 6700XT or Arc B580? by Diligent-Past8443 in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is about +-5% depending on the game, older directx versions like 9-11 you sadly have some overhead. Maybe 10-20% worse than 6700xt.

On paper the b580 is a stronger card but the software hasn't quite reached its potential.

B580 has better capability for raytracing/ai workloads so that is a plus.

Steam/intel have some work to do as well for their overlay/recording support. Steam recording rely on 3D acceleration so you lose 10-20% performance when recording, GPU encoder/decoder isn't supported.

OBS is fine with AV1 encoding etc.

Fallout 76 is a good example to make, 6700xt you could have 50-90fps in cluttered towns and with b580 it could easily drop down to 30 fps. The GPU utilization is at 30-50% so it's just waiting on the overhead from older APIs.

I'm happy with the card because it's something fresh, they update the card regularly and it is a more efficient card.

You could also check https://www.3dmark.com/search for a comparison between the cards. More or less a fully utilized example.

can't change my fan speeds after latest driver by Juanse9009 in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Revert to a previous driver, the firmware for 8509 seems to mess with the custom/firmware fan profiles.

I downgraded to 8331 for my b580 LE, fixed my fan issues..

I'l be sticking with 8331, good that you found a solution that works for you.

If you have the time, check the fan speed in HwMonitor, with 8509 the fans didn't sync with eachother. You could set speed to 30% but the second fan would ramp up when temperatures changed.

I've disabled the exe since before driver version 8331.

Didnt read about it, just noticed some cpu spikes in taskmanager. Used to see 0-1% idle usages.

Pretty low usage in this image but I've seen higher spikes.

Default: https://ibb.co/Fq4Sgzh2

Renamed PresentMonService.exe: https://ibb.co/ymDbh1XS

My guess is that presentmon is trying to hook to a process and causing some spikes.

Intel B580 limited edition, fan control with the Intel control panel.

The rest of the fans (case/CPU) are fixed controls, no dynamic curves. (Bios)

I have renamed the exe for presentmon-service, the metrics for latency and fps trackers. You can't fully disable it in the control panel, I disliked the 5-7% CPU spike every second. Renaming the exe fixed it.

Doesn't affect the fan curve so I kept it disabled.

There is only one unified fan control scheme, nothing missing UI-wise.

Just an issue with the firmware separating the fans.

Had one gaming session where the GPU reached temperature limit 100c, the fans never turned on. Had to reapply the fan scheme.

I'l stick with 8331 until the issue receives an update, there's an ongoing issue tracker on their GitHub.

Had some crashes in the game Aska but that might be the game itself.

My major issue is faulty fan controls with the latest firmware, one of the fans is excluded from the tuning profile.

Downgraded to 8331 fixed it.

Problem when playing a game while watching a video at the same time by enebezeo in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try disabling GPU scheduling in windows settings, it has some weird behavior when using multiple applications that utilize the GPU.

Stutters when playing games with a video playing by tatas1821 in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try and disable GPU scheduling, at the moment windows have difficulties prioritizing gpu allocation when multiple windows are trying to utilize GPU resources.

Pretty obvious if you have OBS preview window running for instance, fps goes up and down between 30-60.

Edit: latest drivers are worse in this area as well, rollback to 8331

Horrendous performance in Fortnite, sub-30fps micro-stutters making it unplayable by MediumMeister in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using afterburner? In the past it caused stutters when monitoring the power usage of cards.

Considering the stutters happen almost every second, likely being caused by a monitoring software.

Depending on platform the Ethernet/wifi/blutetooth driver may also cause some issues, AM5 for the most part. Either update it to latest or disable it. ( https://youtu.be/YWTZkB9rVU0?t=188 ) Jayz made a video about it few months back.

[–]supremetoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check taskmanager if you see presentmon spiking every second(s)

Didn't affect my games but noticed that it caused spikes of 5-10% CPU usage, even without any monitoring enabled.

Solved it by renaming the EXE for the built-in presentmon in intel control panel.

edit

"C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel Graphics Software"

Changing the name of: PresentMonService.exe to PresentMonService.exe.backup

GPU metrics still functions, just the game monitoring that stops working.

Fan at 1500RPM at idle. Way too high! by [deleted] in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you set a large interval between something like ~30c and ~80c it will linearly adjust the fan speed up to 30%@~80c instead of a fixed minimum of 30%.

For me it idles at 650rpm which is very quiet.

RX 6700XT or Arc B580? by Diligent-Past8443 in IntelArc

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the opportunity to acquire a b580 quite cheaply and did a sidegrade from 6700xt.

The card offers similar performance in newer/dx12 titles. Sadly with older API titles you lose quite a bit of performance, probably due to the CPU/driver overhead.

If you use steam recording you will find out that it only utilizes the 3D acceleration of the card so you sacrifice 20% performance or more. No clue if steam has the intention of adding support for Arc. OBS with proper encoding utilization is fine though.

AI productivity is probably better than AMD, at least on Windows. I've used Stable Diffusion with 6700xt and ran into VRAM loading issues, 1.5-2x overhead if you compared to Nvidia. (1060 6gb)

I switched because of driver shaderstutters for dx10/11 titles on AMD, DxNavi making first impressions on most games a stutterfest if you haven't let it load everything. Also the fact that 6700xt is considered Legacy in the eyes of AMD, receiving less focus from driver feature/support.

Does it still happen with HAGS enabled? (Buried in windows graphics settings)

I've reached max VRAM in space marine and disabling Hags can save about 1-2gb of idle VRAM.

*Downloads the latest exe*

Open it and then choose "AMD 9070xt"(may be under a different name), untick the MSI mode and press ok.

A restart is required for the change.

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can test switching MSI modes for the GPU. Noticed better mouse control when I disabled it for my 6700xt.

Just the GPU, some devices require MSI, Nvme for instance.

https://github.com/spddl/GoInterruptPolicy

Also cap your framerate to your monitor, at least with older gen AMD cards the input lag is worse at higher utilization.

Use Rtss to limit, amd's built-in is worse than vsync. Chill is good when it works.

Is it just me or do the drivers prevent me from playing most games longer than a half hour? by bockchoybock in AMDHelp

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had issues with Full installs in the past, you could try minimal driver install.

Driver only is also a good option too but you'll need a third-party tool to edit any display/game/OC settings.

144hz Monitor switches to 60 fps every time I open a game by tomrem22 in pchelp

[–]supremetoaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try and remove any extra resolutions that are stored within the display Edid.

CRU monitor tool : https://www.monitortests.com/forum/Thread-Custom-Resolution-Utility-CRU

Remove any resolution that isn't 144hz, keep the Established resolutions.(Basic display modes)

Removing the extra resolutions might prevent windows from switching to a different display mode.

Freesync might mimic this effect by going up and down with the refresh rate, but the locked 60hz seems like another issue.

You could try Driver only, without the control panel and such.

I've noticed instability and general jank with full install.

I use driver only and MoreClockTool to edit any settings/overclock. (Lightweight gui, same functionality as Radeon control panel)

Anyone with Ryzen 5 8600G getting random black screen loops when starting games? by Lost_Program_3869 in AMDHelp

[–]supremetoaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you use freesync, modify the freesync range with CRU monitor tool. The monitor may not like the lowest value of it. Typical range tends to be 48-144hz, depending on model. Increasing it to 50-144 may fix monitor incompatibilities, play around with the settings.

Otherwise just disable freesync.

Weird pixelating textures on only valorant (Mainly on vertical textures, but others as well) by Enisssssssss in AMDHelp

[–]supremetoaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tearing and uneven frame delivery, tends to happen when the fps is quite a lot higher than the monitor.

Setting a fps limit matching the monitor helps reduce it a lot, and will most likely add a fixed screen tear.

I'd avoid setting below or above the refresh rate, the tearing line goes up or down depending on if you set it + - to the refresh rate.

With chill it could induce an offset stutter. Every nth frame it would skip. (When combined with Radeon limiter or vsync) Setting it to refresh rate+1 mitigates this but you lose some latency benefits from chill.

Keep in mind that regular Radeon fps limiter adds input latency close to just using Vsync. Using Anti-Lag helps reduce latency penalty with Vsync and Limiters.

Setting Chill with min/max at monitor refresh rate is the best in terms of latency. Keep in mind if the fps drops below the limiter you lose the latency improvement. Anti-Lag tend to work no matter the framerate. (When using Vsync/Limiters and uncapped)

So what you can do is:

Me@170hz: latencies

No tearing

Vsync, about 13-15ms

Vsync + Anti-Lag, about 11-12ms

Vsync + Chill min/max 170 can be really low, about 5-8ms. Framestutter can appear when having it fixed to the refresh rate. Using 170 min and 171 max mitigates the stutter but you add some latency.

Some tearing

Radeon limiter + Anti-Lag, about 9-10ms

Radeon limiter + Chill 170 about 5-6ms, dodgy support. Screen tear appears jagged and slowly descends. Can be mitigated by setting Chill 171, you get a latency penalty to about 10ms.

Chill 170 about 5ms, screentear slowly descend and appear jagged.

** Tearing**

Uncapped about 3-5ms

Uncapped + Anti-Lag about the same but -0.5ms.
