    Speed Test confusion


    Hello, I run Windows 10 Pro 1909. Recently I upgraded to Fibre and ran some speed-tests to confirm all was well; this is where the confusion came in.
    Using the identical speed-test I found a difference of 10Mg between results depending on which Browser I accessed the speed-test from.
    Personally I feel the actual speed is that of the higher level and I have no complaint. However the question arises; why when using TalkTalk's own speed-test it indicates less when using Firefox and the 'correct and higher' speed when using Edge with the tests run only minutes apart?
    I tried 2 independent speed-tests and in one case I got the higher speed in both browsers and in the other case the test indicated the higher speed when using Edge.
    As already stated I do believe and feel I am receiving the contracted speed and I am quite satisfied but why the difference?
    Thanks.

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds
