RTG Radeon Tweaker Group - AMD Radeon VII Mods, Tweaks, Subvolts and Overclocks Made Easy | igorsLAB | Page 5

The RTG (Radeon Tweaker Group) is a group of those who have already made it their mission since AMD's Polaris and later Also Vega to make some overvoltage and unnecessarily hot Radeon what one would like as an end customer: to a faster and significantly more efficient Graphics card.

The right tool: the Radeon VII PowerPlayTable

PowerPlay, i.e. AMD's power and power-saving technologies, are not naturally new and were already used by AT before the acquisition by AMD. However, much has changed in the implementation and external possibility of user influence. And in contrast to Nvidia's very restrictive handling of their equivalent Boost, a lot of information is open here and you can put your own hands on it. This was of course a bit of reverse engineering, but the team mentioned at the beginning has really done a lot of work.

The solution approach is based on a peculiarity (convenience) of the Radeon driver, which, instead of constantly and constantly reading out the relevant registers (PowerPlay Table) from the BIOS, which takes everything from a copy of the registry that is used when the card is detected for the first time. is created. Sure, the registry has now degenerated into the data waste dump of Windows, but you can also turn disadvantages excellently into a personal advantage if you know how.

The SoftPowerPlay Registry mod presented here is a complete copy of the PowerPlay Info Table from the BIOS. Since you also have access to it as a user, the effort is of course immensely simplified. In the registry, you can find the key '4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318' at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE's 'System'. It's just stupid that you usually find massive entries below this key, because every graphics card that is ever found under this Windows installation is saved. detected.

This is because these entries are created even after every BIOS update or during the crossfire setup. It doesn't even matter, whether it's AMD, Nvidia or Intel graphics. Everything that has ever been detected during the start-up is pressed clean. However, in order to be able to edit the correct entry and also the Reg-Files presented here to take effect, a few rules have to be followed and work steps have to be carried out, which are absolutely necessary prerequisites for this. But more on that later…

The first advances are also being made with the fans, even if there is still a lot of evaluation to be done here. For the very curious, we already have the (most likely) relevant part of the fan entries for Customizing:

Important: Preparing the Registry

The key under which the video card is installed MUST match the information in the file. If only one graphics card has it registered under .0000, but with more than one key (which happens quickly), the whole thing becomes confusing. If you know the right key, you can of course also change it manually in the Reg-Files hosted here. but for some users, this is already a minor hurdle.

Therefore, it is recommended to run the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU), which you can find here at the provider Wagnardsoft: Official Download Link. Please use this direct link and not third-party links, which generate only on lukewarm traffic or deliver this freeware with so-called "installers", which usually want to install superfluous and annoying schundprograms right away. So please be so fair and go straight to the provider.

The clean uninstall pass should be done in safe mode. If you don't know how to start the computer on Windows 10 in the so-called "Safe Mode", you will be helped at Microsoft. After that, please carry out another check for safety! Simply open Regedit (right click Start -> Run) -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-System-CurrentControlSet-Control-Class-4d36e968-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318. If there is still more than 0000 as an entry, use the DDU again and if necessary Intel and/or Intel Nvidia driver.

All of this, of course, sounds more complicated than it actually is. So fear ingessing does not apply! By the way, there is also a REG file for cleaning up, which I packed as a ZIP as a precaution:
