not a huge difference it seems. maybe ampere has so beastly memory that it doesn't change much anyway.
my 1080Ti gets a bit more with memory OC... iirc with +150 core and +300 mem i only got around 5450 and with +80 core and +900 mem i got like 5600 something. Anyway its a fine balancing act, to fit into the powerlimits with all the OCs, so it wont start throttling.

Here is an update on my little vega 56, still going strong !

My current score with R5 3600 CPU is:


Which is not that much better than my previous CPU (R3 1200).


Clearly a GPU-bottlenecked benchmark as during the test it showed 100% GPU utilization almost all the time.

I have a question, is my low cpu mhz indication for some misconfiguration? I see other R5 2600 go for much higher mhz on this bench.

i don't think this number there changes much. it might have just captured the clocks when your CPU was idling. you can ofc try to force your CPU to performance mode by using cpufreq, cpupower or whatever have you on your distro. or maybe even feral gamemode. I doubt it makes much difference in this bench anyway though, as at the default settings its just taxing the GPU the most anyway.

It seems to just report what the kernel says it is, which is generally the CPU at base clock, not the maximum boost clock.

Okay, appreciate the replies.

Updated the system with new mobo/CPU/memory and installed new Mint 20.1. There is no significant differences as the GPU is the same, similar to Alm888's post.

links are a bit broken but can be clicked at least.
anyway yeah.. it shows that CPU doesnt matter in this bench.
