PBO by itself won't go out of spec, but XFR is the CPU overclocking,

And XFR on 2nd gen can take the CPU to ~4.2 Ghz.
PBO always keeps the CPU within spec (aside from box TDP), basically it just let's the cores hit the listed boost speed. PBO2 allows as many cores as possible to hit that boost speed. And XFR allows the CPU to go out of spec (above boost speed) to hit as high a clock as possible.
XFR is basically auto-overclocking, and works very well if you have the cooling, but understandable if you want it disabled.
I bought an RX-580 to replace my aging R9-270x and It works great except it doesn't
I play on a tv, since it's cheap, large, and has decent speakers. But that means it has overscan. I've been using the built-in hdmi scaling from AMD on my 270x and it works great. I pop this 580 in and turn on the scaling to 5% and the fps fucking TANKS. Not just in games, but system wide. It feels like a hard cap for some reason?
How the fucking shit do I fix this? My stupid fucking tv doesn't have a remote, I lost that years ago, and the "scaling" options it does have are literally useless.
Try enabling "GPU Scaling" in the Display tab for the monitor in Radeon Settings.
I did. It stays the same. Nothing changes. Ive tried virtual super res too.
Multiple monitors connected?
I have just one, it's a tv.
Stupid question.
Have you changed the TV's refresh rate? I thought my computer was fucked up till I went into display settings > display adapter properties > monitor > screen refresh rate and set it to 60hz, making it all work much better.
I'm at 60hz, i've done everything i can, i've tried everything i can find with google. For now, i'm just gonna have to play at a disgusting 1600x900 res until i can figure out how to scale it properly without my fps fucking tanking.
I just don't get it. It worked great on my r9-270x. why would it be any different on my rx-480, a much stronger card?
XFR is an overclock added on top of the boost speed. For Ryzen, it was capped to a predetermined value per model. For Ryzen+, there's no set cap per model. I believe it is set per processor in the factory, but i could be remembering wrong.
I believe it's separate from their peak boost clock since getting everything out of XFR requires a good cooling setup, while the boost clock is always reachable with the stock cooler, if temporarily.
So I found it it might have something to do with V-sync? In fullscreen games, everything runs extremely buttery, without vsync. The second I turn it on it's capped at 20-30 fps.
How fucking bizarre. At least I got things to work. System is still laggy and not smooth, but at least games run super well.
I’ve also had vsync issues at seemingly random with games. E.G. Final Fantasy would run at 20fps or less on my 144hz 2k monitor (or on the Steam Link) no matter what settings, until I turned vsync off and it jumped to 90fps. I’ve come to the conclusion that vsync is just awful.
Yeah, random games do random shit regarding V-Sync. I have it either on or off on games depending on if it fucks frame rates. GTA5 for example, V-Sync does nothing on my end either on or off so I just leave it on.
What really tanks performance on my RX 580 is any type of MSAA, I turned that off in GTA5 and turned on FXAA, it's now a smooth 60FPS experience that looks just as good as with MSAA on without any performance dips. I've also been turning MSAA off whenever I play other games with the option and have noticed the same result.
I've gotten the upgrade itch and want to do a new build, what do you guys think a good upgrade from a 4690 would be? I was thinking about a 8600, but want opinions first.
A ryzen.
Go AMD if you want price for performance, go Intel if you have retarded money burning a hole in your pocket.
I was thinking about a R5 2600 since I def don't have money to burn. I only game so it seems like a good alternative.
Wait for CES
you guys know of any brand that makes mini air compressors good to blow out the dust?
I've had a few cheap air compressors, it's not worth spending like $80 on a smaller, cheaper compressor which take ages to fill up then empty in less than 30 seconds. Just buy a decent pancake and it will actually be useful for any tasks you'd want to do with it instead of useless for everything. There's like those Datavac's and what not but I can't imagine that remotely comparing to some solid compressed air.
Remember to always open the drain valve and empty the tank when not in use or it will fill with water, rust out the tank and spray water too.
You know, I just saw a Bitwit video today of him cleaning out his wife's computer, and it had a little electric air blower featured. I'll include the video if you wanted to see it work too.

I'm on the same platform but a weaker chip. I have a 4460, and I find myself CPU limited in a lot of new games.
Personally I don't feel like doing a whole new build so I just ordered a cheap used 4790k that should be here in a week. That should be enough to keep up in games for at least a couple more years, I think. Either way there's no way I'm buying into a new platform with new RAM and all that extra expense, so this is the only upgrade path for me.
Dammit, putting together two builds for my friends, first one went flawlessly but the second one is failing to boot, with a red CPU light on the motherboard ez diagnostic led things. B450 TOMAHAWK motherboard with a Ryzen 5 2600. Online seems to say resetting the CMOS is a possible solution but I can't figure how to remove the CMOS battery and I'm not sure if shorting the jumpers with a screwdriver actually did anything when I tried it.
Try using just one stick of RAM to begin with, one stick at a time, just in case it's actually a RAM issue
Make sure to short it for 10-15 seconds while the machine isn't connected to power.
If it still doesn't work, try to flash an updated BIOS to the board
a pancake???
We have something almost identical to that datavac at work. Yeah, a real compressor move so mkre air harder, but the little blower isn’t plenty for almost any computer ive had to work on so far.
Pancake refers to the style of the tank, I imagine it's probably an american thing to call them that. Flat, round tanks. You're going to want at the minimum of a 5 gallon tank with as much power as you can find. The higher the power, the faster the tank fills and the less you'll have to wait for the tank to return to the higher pressure required to actually do the work of blowing out dust. Some compressors also must be oiled as they're sort of like an engine or sorts with pistons and other moving internal parts, ect.
Something like this but cheaper and available to you.

Going to mix two ram sets, should be fine? One is 1866 at 9-10-9-27 and the other is 1600 at 9-9-9-24. The mobo doesn't support more than 1600 so the 1866 have been underclocked since I got them. This is DDR3 on a mobo/cpu/ram combo I am planning on upgrading once Zen 2 hits.
Also, I have a TX750M, but it is not 80 plus rated. Is that an issue or should I look to upgrade it? I am running a Vega 64 with it right now and it seems to be fine, but in the future should I look to get a newer PSU?
They'll both set to the lowest support speeds for compatibility. Also Googling the TX750M it's rated 80+ gold?
