  1. What is causing limited download speeds when using a web browser and some applications?


    The problem:
    Download bandwidth on my 100Mb fiber is limited by *something* resulting in less than 50% of my potential speed when using a web browser.


    When using an app (like the speedtest app) I get the full 100Mb bandwidth - eliminating any possiblility that there is a fundamental problem with the router, cable, LAN adapter, or other similar hardware limitation.


    In the video I test my speed using the app, then using a web browser, then the app again. Results go from 100 to 35 to 100.

    Video here: https://youtu.be/ZVrXpKfZ4zs

    However, not all apps perform equally.

    Steam, for example, will not exceed 6MB/s (48Mbit)
    uTorrent will go as high as 7.5MB/s (60Mbit)
    Battle.net will reach 10MB/s (80Mbit)

    HTTP downloads very seldom go above 2.2MB/s (17Mbit)

    ALL of these apps and my web browser used to get a full 11.5MB/s (92Mbit) previously. No hardware has changed at any time.

    I have tried multiple servers, all have the same general results, going back well over a year.

    This is the latest 3 tests using the speedtest app.

    This is a history of speedtests using the same speed test, but via the web browser.

    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
