GPUs Graphics Practice Reviews

AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT overclocked up to 2.1 GHz with the MorePowerTool – and driven into bandwidth limit

The Division 2 challenges GPU and voltage converter alike, but in the end it only limits the power supply, not the memory interface. The memory of the video card is not nearly full, so that the FPS and the 99th percentile of the OC scale very well.

This is also shown by the curve of the proportional percentiles, where the manual OC setting provides the better values.

Also the frame time scales very nicely with the clock rate and decreases visibly. However, the difference between factory OC and Wattman OC is greater than one would have expected from the bars for the FPS.

If you superimpose the curves of the Frame Time, this image is preserved.

However, you can already see the slight current limit for the power supply with the variances, although the voltage remains constant. But I’ll come to that in a moment. The best one is the Wattman-OC, where the power consumption is still below the possible maximum.

This can be seen much better in the curves to the variances. First of all the run with Wattman-OC, which almost corresponds to the values of the factory OC:


And now we have the power limit again! But you can also see that the value of all variances is not as extreme as it was with Tomb Raider and the memory bandwidth:

Also for this I measured the power consumption of course and I land, seen over the entire run, also sometimes with approx. 185 watts.

Well, who ever wanted to see how an AMD graphics card reacts in power limit – here’s the jumping proof. You can see the very fast sequences of periodic up- and downsailing, without any longer break-ins that you could really see. But what you can register are the increased variances (see above).


So we would have celebrated both extremes once, the bandwidth and current limitation via the voltage converters. On the next page you’ll find an overview of all other games and of course my personal conclusion.
