How to overclock Ryzen 3 2200G Graphics?

[Harshvardhan]

Hey guys,

The Ryzen Master won't work for me, it says the settings selected needs a restart of PC. After the restart nothing happens. I overclocked the Ghz to 4.0 using BIOS but I don't know how to overclock the GPU clock speed. Please guide me.
Thanks.

What do you mean nothing is happening, is it reverting back to the stock settings in Ryzen master? What is your motherboard, if you want to overclock using UEFI it's not that different than overclocking the CPU. Find the section that lists the gfx frequency.

Ryzen master doesn't automatically save the overclock, you have to go and apply it in the bios.

It's been awhile since I've used Ryzen master...can't you save profiles and load them?

Yeah but you still need to load them every time you run your PC I think. It's been a while for me as well.

I have my CPU overclocked through UEFI and I swear I used that to overclock my brother in laws 2200g igpu too...I find it much easier and once you find a stable frequency and voltage, you don't have to worry about reloading or losing the settings when it comes time to reboot.

 

Now, I do use AMD wattman for overclocking my RX570 and usually don't need to reload the settings every time I reboot (unless I encounter a serious system error)

You'll want to set it up in the BIOS, Ryzen Master is best used for testing overclocks on the fly, for basic stability etc, rather then a place to set and forget them.  What motherboard do you have?  Its not common with AM4 but a few super cheap ones do not support overclocking.  Focus on overclocking the iGPU.  Good luck and hope you have fun with it, little APUs like this are one of the few things left you can net a 20%+ performance increase from OCing.

No difference in performance.

How much are you overclocking the igpu? There's always a chance that you see little or no benefit in certain applications and games. Again, I'd use UEFI rather than Ryzen master to OC.

I've done a few overclocks on these Ryzen iGPUs. Definitely set them in the BIOS/UEFI, Ryzen Master overclocks on the iGPU are not going to stay consistently and may or may not lose stability from losing other settings through reboots. It shouldn't but it does. I've done a pair of 2200Gs and 3 2400Gs now and every one of them took 1500mhz with reasonable voltages. IMHO, iGPU and then DRAM speed are priorities over CPU speed when trying to use the iGPU for gaming, so undervolting the CPU cores to the lowest stable level at 3.6-3.8ghz(should be doable with 1.1-1.25v, with priority to the lowest stable voltage you can muster over 3.5ghz for thermal headroom), then overclocking your DRAM with a fixed CPU NB/SOC voltage of 1.15-1.175, and no higher than 1.2v for long term should get you a good base to then overclock the iGPU. Bump the GPU to 1.2v and start ramping up the clockspeeds. I've found a veritable badlands of GPU speed between 1375-1450 with none of them stable in that area, no matter what I did, so after the third one to exhibit this behavior to me, I just hit it with 1.2v and 1450mhz out of the box, after the other adjustments to find CPU and memory stability, and work from there. Short therm I've done 1.25v on the GPU and managed 1625hz, but I don't recommend it. 1.2v and 1475-1550 should be in the wheelhouse of basically every 2200G and 2400G.

 

Memory speed and timings are important, so don't slack there if you really want the most out of this iGPU. 3200mhz cas16 should be the baseline target IMHO and I would take a point off CAS latency instead of 100mhz more memory speed when using the iGPU.
