I know where it is because I played with it for a bit on my Fury X but I just upgraded to a Vega FE and installed the 18.Q4.1 driver but I can't find wattman. I can only adjust the fan profile and MSI Afterburner isn't helpful because I can't change the core voltage and I want to undervolt it.

The Vega Frontier Edition is not a gaming card. Is it even supported in the regular drivers (that feature Wattman)?

But now I got the driver 18.Q2.1 installed so that the Driver Switchmode/ Driver Options and Wattman work again.

 

First I uninstalled everything with the uninstaller (C:/AMD/<driver folder>/bin/Uninstaller.exe)

Then I reinstalled the driver 18.Q2.1.

Between by the installer asks, I want to execute the "Custom Install", this must be selected absolutely.

Then the installer asks if you want to install multiple drivers, which must be answered in the YES.

 

After the installation you can use the driver option to install the gaming driver and then use Wattman again.

 

quick google says above

Head to the Radeon drivers site, then select Radeon Pro under the GPU options, then find the Vega FE Air cooled. You need to install the drivers for that, when you run it it'll ask if you want to enable driver switching, say yes. Then you install as normal, it'll put the pro drivers on first. Once that's done you can go to the driver options and check for updates, then install the latest gaming drivers it gives you the option for. IIRC it's 18.something, I forget how I got the 2019 edition drivers running on it though.

It's a Vega 64 with 16GB HBM2. You can get Vega 64 gaming drivers to install on it, I forget how you get around the stupid auto detect and install thing that always uses the pro drivers though.
