As stipulated in the guide linked previously, on the RX480, it seems that while GPU voltages above 1.3V work just fine within windows. Should the GPU crash during a benchmark, you’ll be left with a blank screen. Not only that, you’ll not be able to reboot or cold reboot the system to recover your display. To do this you have to effectively uninstall the graphics driver, Why AMD, insists on having sticky settings is beyond reason, but suffice to say this isn’t new and this same peculiar behaviour is present with the RX480 and its associated software. Using the eVc doesn’t alleviate this as such, but it does eliminate the need to keep reinstalling the graphics driver, as you can return the GPU voltage to the sub 1.3V level and manage to get into windows.
