Best 7900 XT guide all around. Easy and straight to the point without ads to buy toothpaste from partners, and blubbering nonsense. Especially your part regarding "VRam" was ultra helpful, since i was bit scared to tweak it. I had mine at 500/2400/1050 w/power limit at -10%, and GPU (Sapphire) cutting through everything (even 2077 or Helldivers 2) at 3840x1620 (sometimes at 5120x2160 with some in-game tweaking) like a flaming knife into butter. Board power is just great as well. 15 to 20w while watching YT, and never over 220-250 into games (270 to 350 at stock ). Great video once again, thanks a lot Fabio.
Can you explain how to read min /max clocks settings? I just upgraded to amd couple of weeks ago and confused what exactly is happening when I change them. I spend a lot of time on but eventually managed to figure out what exactly nvidia clock/voltage curve on 30xx does, so I'm curious to understand it here, too.
@@L1vv4n you can enable an overlay when playing the game by ctrl+shift+O (not zero) but you first have to enable hotkeys first, i dont exactly remember where to enable this but you can find it from searching the amd adrenaline. Min/Max clock frequency are the main reason for power consumption and what performance your gpu can give you.
@@TH-ib5ly ctrl+shift+o is overlay, i can configure what it show on metrics tab, I can open adrenalin on the top of whatever is running with alt+r. But that does not explain what min/max clocks actually are. They are definitely not just actual minimal and maximum values, because clock can go above and below both settings. I can write a long post about frequency/voltage curves on ampere cards, how they switch, what afterburner curve editor actually does and how to get actual almost static clocks under load. I would be happy to find analogous explanation about RDNA3 and Svartie post was detailed so i hope to get an answer.
@@L1vv4n overall, it's kinda semi soft lock on frequncy in simple words.. it's try to rise & lower the frequency depending on the settings U tune with (try doesn't mean it's will go according to your tune) cause in some games the GPU need to rise power or frequency or it's will crush As far as I know.. min doesn't matter overall, but the max is the key, but don't push it beyond 2900MHz if U want stable OC 3000MHz will need kinda high end models in most cases
Great guide, my Rx 7900 XT settings are, Max Frequency = 104%/2956MHz, Voltage = 99%/1089mV, VRAM = 110%/2750MHz with fast timing and Power Limit = -8%. With these i don't have to worry about fps or stability with low power usage an low temps and yes i use the percentages, i find it to have more stability. Hope this helps anyone.
Appreciate the bloopers. All we see if the edited versions so to see what actually happens remind me that we are all human and that makes these videos more relatable in my opinion. Always enjoyed your videos so keep them coming.
I was farting around with my 5600xt in that OC menu half a year ago, and it does not have that amount of settings presented here (obviously) but there are some observations I want to share. Automatic undervolt returns a mV number you can write down as the lower limit, and OC Ram returns the top MHz value and you write it down as well, so you have some limits to work with when doing the manual optimization or even OC. In a mix you will not get those values but they can be helpful. Settings per game are useful. I can play the whole day long BF2042 with a low core voltage but COD will freeze with that within a couple of minutes - so I have a profile with more mV for that game. If you play a specific game a lot it helps finding the lowest mV with a little bit of OC to keep the card cool and save something on the electric bill :) . Another thing that helped my 5600xt was to disable the ULPS in Msi Afterburner (you have to do it once and restart the system, re do it when upgrading the AMD driver). Especially with the Vulcan API in WWZ I had strange FPS drops (in game Benchmark) that are gone with ULPS disabled. That does not mean that the 7900xt has the same issue or solution it def works on my 5600xt. Hope that stuff I wrote makes some sense somehow.
Top video, i have just spent several days working through and testing an overclock on a 7900XT watercooled by an Alphacool block and this will hopefully short cut the process for some. I would recommend jumping to overclocking the memory to it's maximum before starting the undervolting testing and working through each setting one by one , stress testing for gaming with something like the 3D Mark Stress testing suit (it's paid but if you survive all of those you can probably move onto the next setting) . As Ancient Gameplays noted in the video be a little careful on the core clock , you can usually keep going on this one and it remain stable, but it gives diminishing returns 3058 was where it started to tail off on my GPU, so 3000 is a good mark. Likewise 1040mv was the lowest 'stable' undervolt i could get - it will go lower but with thorough stress testing it would fail. For the memory i could get stable at 2818 , which is huge , but the card is also watercooled which helps and even with aircooling i had a good idea the memory had a lot of headroom. Great way to get a lot more bang for the buck out of a great card
Wow seriously thank you! Im not exactly smart when it comes to these high end GPUs so this was a massive help. Especially raising the power limit to 15, I can genuinely see a difference with my performance. I don’t know why the card automatically comes with a garbage fan curve and power limit set to 0 out of the box. But thank you
Running both my XFX black editions 7900xt overclocked for 6 months now with no issues. They both run around 60-65c with a hot spot temp of 75-85c. With no issues. +15 power limit 2900mhz core 2600mhz memory 1050 mv Custom Fan curve set 60%/60c, 80%/80c 100%/100c.
Appreciate the video! After much experimenting, I settled on the exact same settings, except I can push down to 1020 mV on 2500 mhz. So far, 1020 has been stable in BG3, 3Dmark, and Helldivers (which crashes for unrelated reasons lol). EDIT: looks like 1030 mv is my new UV on 2500 mhz, as I finally got a crash at 1020 after 3 weeks
@@AncientGameplays It it normal for my GPU temperature to be 69 degrees C while gaming but the GPU memory to always hover around 80? I did some similar settings for my 7800xt. Also for the fan speed I put it to maximum, I don't mind the noise. Do you think this is okay? Thanks in advance, i hope you can give me an answer
@@CatalinIulianPopescu Gddr6 can run safely upwards of a 110c but should be kept at or below 95c. Of course lower is almost always better for life span and stability. So your 80c is completely ok
@@CatalinIulianPopescu Yeah that is likely the case, many people don't like the fan noise so they limit the fan speed. The default curve also isn't great as it caps pretty low on the total speed.
Thnx for the vid Mr Jesus. I love my Asrock Taichi 7900XT. I can undervolt it to 1020mv, core 3000 and mem 2746 with powerlimit to +15. Running latest games like Horizon FW, Alan Wake, Avatar etc. on max settings 1440P without a sweat 🤩. Paired with 5800x3D .
First of all let me just say that I love the fact that you put random meme's in the video. It always cracks me up xD Second of all thanks for this video!! I picked up a 7900xt after my 7800xt turned out to be a little too weak for 4k gaming, so this video is absolutely welcome :))
Hey fabio, thanks for the video. Because there was no particular video from you for 7900xt, i understood the concepts from other videos of 7900xtx and 7800xt and had undervolted my pulse 7900xt a month ago. Used 500/2400 and 2664 vram frequency. Its stable and i never go above 255 watts power draw. So dont worry, even with english not being your first language (just like me) i was able to understand everything and apply it myself.
Nitro+ model for 7900xt is kinda overkill Fun fact: 7900xt & 7900xtx coolers are 99% the same in terms of copper/aluminum (ventilation design), only power circuit is different So, getting any cheap 7900xt will result in cool 7900xt even if U max OC But OC some lower-end 7900xtx, will result in warm card (around 7c more compared to 7900xt)
@miha1999grobar that 3 of 8-pin is overkill.. 7900xt mostly bottlenecked from circuit board design & safety regulations, not the power cable 1 cable of 8-pin = 300w max (counted as 150w to 200w for safety masserues) So, in theory, 2 of 8-pins can handle up to 600w max (500w at worst case scenario) Am using 7900xtx Pwercooler Hellhound (use only 2 of 8-pins) and its reach up to 415 OC) with sudden 1 sec draws around 450w Even 7900xtx models will only benefit from 3 of 8-pin cables only in max OC in thr high end models like Nitro+ which reach 460w
@@Pinozzo Nitro+ cards are meant for high OC, $50 to $100 price different than common cards means U will push higher OC overall thanks to great card design But even Nitro+ high OC needs a small undervolt to get around more 70MHz more or less So, use the same avg tune, only golden silicon lottery will result in slightly better OC (Nitro+ models mostly uses slightly better silicone picked from the manufacture) at least compared to their Pulse model which use avg samples.. or that what people were claiming in past 5 years
Thanks Fabio. I purchased the 7900XT when it came out based on your videos. This is an excellent video. I will be playing with these settings this weekend!
I do own RX6900XT and RX7900XTX and i loving them. But! in Adrenaline edition i dont understand AMD logic to put core and mem tuning behind 2 tabs. First tab unlock slider scalers to 0-100... From what to what?! like wtf?! you have to also click advanced control to see exact frequencies. That "basic" tuning option without telling the actual frequencies is completely unnecessary and stupid. Loving your content, you are doing a good job!
thanks bro... i used the power saving because it uses 100w less than the overclock and its only 10fps difference..plus the card is more silent and its more cool
You are my hero! I just got my XFX RX 7900 XT 2 days ago and I thought to myself, "Self! I bet Ancient Gameplays has a video on how to overclock and undervolt my 7900 XT". Being that I watched and learned from your video on how to over/under my previous RX 6750 XT, I felt it was a safe bet! In all seriousness, thank you very much! I've been a fan of your channel since I first found it in October of '23. Keep up the great content! BTW, I think your English is good! Edit: I have a question. My VRAM timing is consistently at 2586Mhz (when max is set to 2600 Mhz) if I am watching a youtube video. Should it be this high? If I scroll off the video into the comments section, the speed goes done to 909 Mhz. As soon as I scroll back up to the video, it goes right back to 2586 Mhz, even if the video is paused. I changed the max freq to 2500 Mhz and it would down go to 2487 Mhz and stay there whether the video is playing or is paused.
@@AncientGameplays I spoke too soon. While the VRAM speed is no longer riding at 2487 Mhz, it is now at a constant 909 Mhz. I did read on the AMD forum of several people that have had this problem and I did not see a resolution for it. Should I send the card back? I did see the price for the XFX RX 9700 XTX dropped to $869 for Amazon Days. That's only $169 more than I paid for the 7900 XT. Then again, people that have the XTX are experiencing this problem as well. I never had this issue with the RX 6750 XT I had before this one.
Thanks for the video! managed 3200 @ 1015mv with 2718 on the memory using fast timings on my gigabyte gaming oc! (granted most games it doesnt boost above 3000 except lite games like gta v etc.)
My pulse 7900xt is set to 3100mhz/1080mv, +15% power limit, 2714mhz with fast timings (Hynix). so far so good, running at 80C on the hotspot and 73C on memory at x16 gen3 bus.
I wanna say to you that you are a truly lifesaviour: I was having random PC reboots for three weeks in a row because I was testing my Powerhound 7900 XT undervolting, and the problem was that I was reducing the clocks along with the voltages (like 2600 MHz with 1025-1050 Mv, so I misunderstood how undervolting works) and that seems to be the problem. Now, I am using 2900 Mhz with 1050 Mv (with +15 % power limit ofc) for 5 or 6 hours more or less and the problem seems that is gone. Now I have a question: I hate listening the fans spinning with high revolutions too, but if the temperature reaches high temps (70+ degrees) I think that will start to have fps drops. Have you ever tested that in RDNA3? Keep working with your amazing videos!
I liked it but you didn't mention the profiles you can set up per game and that you can export/import profiles. So you can do like slower power saving profiles for some older games and keep the global one for the rest. And if it crashes and resets all settings the import function is very handy. Especially with a custom fan curve that took time to make.
hi my dear friend !!happy see you in new video !!me too i wait this video for my 7900xtx !!i try OC but always have problems because i dont realy know how must do i know numbers not same but u show us step by step and i tell you no one in internet explaine as u OC like this any novice w biginer will know and thanks moch moch for it!!wish you great day and have good time!!my salutation
compared to my older asus tuf 6900 xt, I indeed do some things differently for my sapphire nitro 7900 xt. I very much agree to: power limit to max +15, minimum gpu frequency 500. but what I do - and this is my recommendation - to create profiles. because every game behaves differently in terms of max frequency and power draw and I must stay under the TBP limit of my gpu board!! so my approach is: * fan tuning: disabled (both tuf and nitro did/does a fan-tastic job, no need from my side to tune) * power limit enabled: +15% * vram tuning: enabled, advanced control enabled, max frequency 2750 * gpu tuning: enabled, advanced control enabled, min frequency 500, voltage ("offset") 1015 the voltage I found for my card in this way: I started with ~1070 (which was the min for my old 6900 ;-)) and played games for ~2 weeks. if stable, I decreased by ~10mV. a.s.o. now 1015 I'm a year with and actually I don't bother going further down. I had some crashes with lower values but due to the games? or due to the excessive undervolt? I don't know. that is why stopped and stayed at 1015. which is perfectly stable. and now, , I start to figure out what is the optimal max frequency. questions to me: A) do I want to save power (because game is old, has anyways very high fps)? B) do I want to have higher fps? for A) I start with 600 (but the card usually does not go below ~1300) and increase until I'm satisfied. for B) I start with 2500 and observe. when going with higher max frequency, I'm observing whether I get TBP spikes of / above 350W. if so then max frequency is the limit resp I go a bit down. the TBP of my nitro is 368W or so. and once I start getting spikes to this power limit, the fps start tanking very much very fast -> not good. (apropos, never ever managed 3000 mhz. I don't understand how you guys get good performance in games and 3000 mhz setting ;-)) I play on my oled 4k@120hz (usually @10bit hdr). my cpu is an older 5950x. my psu is "be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 750W". had no coil whine ever. neither with my old asus nor with the newer sapphire. my case fans were always louder than the GPUs. 😀 for example, I play alan wake 2 with max 2650 frequency. there I'm around TBP ~350+w usage. hope this helps you guys. thanks fabio for the video 👍👍
@@mohamad.h4300 i had an asus tuf 6900 xt. to that time my focus was max efficiency. i had fan tuning off, power tuning off, vram tuning on, fast timings and 2124 mhz, gpu tuning min/max 2250/2350 and voltage 1060. with that i was playing tw3 with ~245w tgp and 4k/100-120 fps. but unfortunately there was one scene where the gpu crashed repeatably. i needed to go to 1070mV which has added some 10w tgp. cyberpunk 2077 was even more volatile but also more buggy to that time (game&drivers).
Thank you for this video! EDIT: Oh, I guess we both have the Samsung chips on the 7900 XT and my results seem in line with yours. Since I had already written the text below, I'll post it for others to take part of my experience. I have a question that puzzles me a bit. I have the TUF Gaming 7900 XT OC and I struggle to get artifacts from OC. This sounds like a great thing but no. The thing is that I have intermittent restarts when i OC the VRAM above the OC VRAM preset (2650 MHz, which unfortunately is only 6% over stock while some seem to be able to go as far as 2800 Mhz??). No artifacts or performance loss (which I've come to expect after watching other OC videos). The highest I've been able to stress test it with is 2850 MHz on the VRAM and then it can be stable for 30 min or more and then suddenly crash and restart with no or minimal load (e.g. youtube). Also, it seem like once I have a crash/restart it is more prone to crashing over and over again on lower frequencies that previously seemed stable from stress tests. I've stress tested the GPU with OCCT too since I suspected it could be insufficient power (Got Seasonic Focus GX 850W though) but according to OCCTs "last log entry before crash" the max power was no where near maximum power draw,
Also, I was surprised to see you're running the fan at 23%! I usually run it with max 50% or 60%. 23% sounds a bit scary, even with my well vented Lian Li 216.
Perfect timing I just got my 7900xt and been dialing it in. So far I got 2900max frequency, 1070mv (was stable for most stuff all the way down to 1000mv but then crash so working my way back down), mem at 2700. Card is quite impressive. Waiting on my gpu block and then I’ll try the higher freq and work down the voltage. I’m not sure what memory the power color uses but I had it really high in heaven (like 2800) and still couldn’t see any artifacts but I wasn’t too comfortable with that so dropped down to 2700 and figure that’ll be enough.
Thank you so much Fabio! Once again, the best AMD Tutorial out there! You answered my question from yesterday even better than with your already awesome text message! Keep up the great work!
By the way: my Gigabyte OC gets to stable 2600 Mhz with the slider at 2600 with fast timing (haven't tested other frequencies). No need to offset by 12-18MHz for me
Great video Fabio, im on water and that power increase for little performance just isn't worth it for me. It already performs so well with SAM enabled. On my v64 i did OC my HBM memory and that made a massive difference. I may undervolt for summer months though that doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Great video, very well explained, super helpful, repeating messages is a sure fire way of getting through and highlighting its importance. Your second language is better than some who speak it natively.
At 21:40 on the undervolted part the game show a little flash, it occours when the power isn't enough. With AMD Navi Cards, you can have better results in lower resolutions but if it flash in 1080p it will crash on 4k.
In fact.. there is 1 more option U didn't mention.. people call it light to medium (super stable on all models) Max freq: 2900MHz / Volt: 1100mv / Memory 2650MHz / Power: depends on your model, don't go beyond 400w max This will result getting 8% out of the 12% of 460w max OC, so U still get 8% more fps for 15% less power (win-win situation) Max OC is 2 much.. especially for 7900xtx (max go up to 460w) which result in high heat inside PC (might hurt your inner components) This also works with 7900xt models.. do same thing, but don't let the power go beyond 350w for 7900xt models Note: going to 3000MHz will result in some unstable games (depending on the engine) in 90% of scenarios,of GPUs barely reach 2750MHz in 4K & 2850MHz in 1080p, so trying to reach 3000MHz will only work with top end cards like Nitro+ with max 460w + only in 1080p & below Leave a reply & I might answer any question regarding the AMD GPUs.. am kinda expert in their OC/UV..etc, best luck to AMD cards fans
I mean, going to 3000MHz won't be unstable in most scenarios as in 90% of them you won't reach that frequency at all, and if you do you only need to tweak the voltage. 2900MHz with 1100mv is kinda worse as your slider voltage is higher. The rest is exactly as I stated. Also the XTX and XT models work a bit differently on the 2900MHz mark (my XTX uses 3GHz no issues)
@@AncientGameplays 3000MHz won't be stable for 400w max OC (7900xtx models).. while 2900MHz will be super stable overall 3000MHz will need minimum 430w & beyond 7900xtx avg models uses 2 8-pins cables, which never goes from 400w to 415w, only those 3 8-pins cards can get stable 3000MHz, for 7900xtx models at least 7900xt is ok to go with 3000MHz with 2 8-pin cables since they never reach beyond 390w
@@Jack_Sparrow131 i have nitro+ xtx and i only game in 4k and it all depends on the game you're playing, i have individual profiles for my games and some games i can go with max frequency of 3117 and HWinfo reports the card to go above 3200, but it's not good for the power usage, and even if it is stable in all my games it does not benefit in all scenarios, it will go above 550w according to HWinfo, but only in 1 specific game.. However most games work better with lower frequencies and it is also better for the power usage, which is anything from 400w to 475w at lower freq, and i don't worry about heat, it is only air cooled in a small fractal torrent compact case with no exhaust fan, but card keeps cool and i have only seen it go to 72 degrees at the highest in summer, and i'm sure it will not hurt any inner components lol.
And still on my 7900xtx merc 310 speedster with 7800x3d chip the software still causes frame stutter issues when I do a full install of the software. I just use minimal instal to avoid that issue and I believe lose the option to tune. I’ve does fresh installs of the software and windows but think it’s just something else or specifically the software. I’ve sent reports about it over the past year too 😂
Finally! Man I have been waiting for this one for a while now. I had to figure it out on my own in hopes you would make a video proving me right or wrong. LOL. Thank you!
I almost fried my 7900xt with a bad power supply and oc. its true psu connectorst to gpu got melted ruined the bad psu but the gpu had miner melting on the connections but still works
When I had the 7900 xt this was around what my OC was funny enough lol. Enjoying the GRE atm. Only issue, which was the same issue I had with the 7900xt. Is my sound sometimes goes in and out. I'm using them via Hdmi to a 60htz tv. Wonder if that could be the issue? Wasn't too hard a fix tho, I just bypassed the card its self for sound and used the motherboards sound via digital out. Still annoying tho. Odd how something like that still hasn't been addressed. Or, perhaps my case is so minimal that it didn't warrant a fix. Either way, all is well.
FINALLY!!!!!! I’m thankful. Should have just tagged me at this point lol. I don’t know if it matters but the same goes for the Nitro+ right? They are a different breed
ahah we won! he did it 😁 Yeah mine Pulse 7900xt run perfect at 1040mv with 1700mhz on both core clocks and vram... after a lot of testing, after seing your XTX tutorial! Gotta test with the fast timing tho!
i am using Msi afterburner for this, cus everytime i have been using the radeon adrenaline for this, it resets alot. but thank you for your work. im doing this on the XFX 7900 XT black edition :)
Same thing happened to me with 6800xt back in 2020, and also happened on my 7900xtx in 2023 I ended up doing 2 same profiles.. 1 in MSI After Burner, 2nd in Adrenaline And that did worked well for me, I even did the same fans speed, so no matter if they reset or not, the 2nd program will OC And as far as I know, MSI After Burner force Adrenaline to reset in case U didn't made OC profile in MSI
I've looked near and far and at this point, I am convinced you might be the only one to deliver or even try: would it be possible to see the power scaling of RDNA 3 on the 7900 XT or 7800 XT, not going up, but going down. For a mad man who would aim at efficiency, or for anyone looking at that fabled 54% perf/watt that's "clearly" not at the 300W+ compared to last gen. Honestly, I just to undervolt and underclock my GPU to be cooler, but I'm wondering on a wider scale, at various power level, how AMD and Nvidia performs (but not in a "who's better", just "for science").

Fabio, do you think that we should use games that have a higher Vram requirement to test the Vram overclocked? Not every memory chip in the card will be able to achieve the same clocks necessarily, so it may be that certain Vram clocks will be stable when running a game that only requires 8GB, but not when running a game that uses 12 or 16Gb.
I have mine OC'd at 500/2955MHz @ 1025mV | 2650MHz | Power Limit +15%. I mainly play @ 1440p resolution and have it paired with a Ryzen 5 7600. A negligible bottleneck and 4K resolution is just within reach. I find that 2955 is the sweet spot for my system as I never reach 3000MHz during gaming. I would greatly appreciate your opinion. Also, have you considered sharing your thoughts on static overclocks vs PBO vs stock with AMD CPUs? As always, thank you for the awesome content!
Still have my 5700 XT as my daily - don’t want to ditch my AM4 yet. Should I go for 5800X3D & 7800 XT or full upgrade to 7800X3D & 7900 XT (and other AM5 components)?
If you're happy with what you have, I'd wait, as new components are releasing towards the end of the year. It's my plan at the moment, though I am using a 7000 series.
@Fabio…do you use any Sapphire Cards? Recently I downloaded Trixx and found a nifty feature called Trixx Boost which allows you to create a custom resolution & upscale from that. For 1080p & 1440p monitors I found that 90% is the sweet spot and then use RSR to upscale the image. For 4K the sweet spot is 85%. It nets you around 20-25% boost in fps without sacrificing visual quality unlike native RSR that I find affecting the visual quality and producing artifacts. If possible can you do review of it? And once again bro thanks for all the efforts you put into making these videos for the fellow Radeon users.
Hi bro I need your help recently I purchased RX 7600 gpu but when I play games there are lots of stuttering issue, please me with the settings of this gpu, please reply

Seasonic? not really that essential since half of good known brands use Seasonic, SuperFlower, FSP in their Gold Rated PSU Any Gold with 750w to 1000w will be enough, as long as it's from known brand But getting some cheap Gold Chinese PSU & expecting it will serve U well.. will, that's will be funny to watch you PC fry Lol Seasonic, FSP, EVGA, Asus, MSI, Corsair, XPG, Cooler Master..etc, are all great PSUs, especially their Gold ones

after the new amd driver update when fluid motion frames came out the rx 7900 xt was able to reach 990 voltage without any crashes if you had a really good silicone and every1 should be able to do 1010 or 1020 im currently doing 995 its been stable ever since the amd fluid motion frames came out and im also on a reference 7900 xt
Muito bom, no meu caso estou com shapphire (oc), 1070 mv ficou com estabilidade, seu eu baixar mais começa dar uns tilts e o adrenaline as vezes nao abre, mas isso acontece so nesses ultimos dois driver. Like!
Dunno if benchmarks are easier to run then games but I've had my vram at near 2900mhz with no visual errors that I can see (could be throwing up a load of errors but nothing i can see). Past 2900 things don't render correctly and things start turning red and characters have extra polygons sticking out of them. Also in different benchmarks ive had the voltage as low as under 900mv
if you want to lower hotspot temp you should lower your max frequency and keep mV as low as possible so 1090mV. but hotspot max temp is 110, so you're good at 100..
@@AncientGameplays Changing -1mV to 1099mV then reset PC -> it still on stock 1100mV. No matter what changing. Games profiles work well, but Global always on default.
Great guide thank you, do you have any recommendations for coil whine ? On warhammer space marine 1 very noisy as over 400fps, so if i use radeon chill and restrict it to 240fps or lower it is fine but other more intensive games need limiting to 144 or lower or coil whine is noticeable, if i restrict gpu mhz to 2000 the coil whine disappears but then so does the performance, trying to find a balance to have 240hz fps globally with no coil whine, perhaps i just need to set it game specific instead, only just got the hellhound 7900xt and it is a great card, perhaps i.just need to play around more with power limit, volts, mhz and frame limits to find the sweetspot, performance is way above what i have before, so dont need extra fps, just want same fps, less watts and no or very little coil whine
As always, hope this video keeps helping people across time!

Best 7900 XT guide all around. Easy and straight to the point without ads to buy toothpaste from partners, and blubbering nonsense. Especially your part regarding "VRam" was ultra helpful, since i was bit scared to tweak it. I had mine at 500/2400/1050 w/power limit at -10%, and GPU (Sapphire) cutting through everything (even 2077 or Helldivers 2) at 3840x1620 (sometimes at 5120x2160 with some in-game tweaking) like a flaming knife into butter. Board power is just great as well. 15 to 20w while watching YT, and never over 220-250 into games (270 to 350 at stock ). Great video once again, thanks a lot Fabio.
Can you explain how to read min /max clocks settings?
I just upgraded to amd couple of weeks ago and confused what exactly is happening when I change them.
I spend a lot of time on but eventually managed to figure out what exactly nvidia clock/voltage curve on 30xx does, so I'm curious to understand it here, too.
@@L1vv4n you can enable an overlay when playing the game by ctrl+shift+O (not zero) but you first have to enable hotkeys first, i dont exactly remember where to enable this but you can find it from searching the amd adrenaline. Min/Max clock frequency are the main reason for power consumption and what performance your gpu can give you.
@@TH-ib5ly ctrl+shift+o is overlay, i can configure what it show on metrics tab, I can open adrenalin on the top of whatever is running with alt+r.
But that does not explain what min/max clocks actually are. They are definitely not just actual minimal and maximum values, because clock can go above and below both settings.
I can write a long post about frequency/voltage curves on ampere cards, how they switch, what afterburner curve editor actually does and how to get actual almost static clocks under load. I would be happy to find analogous explanation about RDNA3 and Svartie post was detailed so i hope to get an answer.
@@L1vv4n overall, it's kinda semi soft lock on frequncy
in simple words.. it's try to rise & lower the frequency depending on the settings U tune with (try doesn't mean it's will go according to your tune) cause in some games the GPU need to rise power or frequency or it's will crush
As far as I know.. min doesn't matter overall, but the max is the key, but don't push it beyond 2900MHz if U want stable OC
3000MHz will need kinda high end models in most cases
But toothpaste can be used as crappy thermal paste, it's thematic
Great guide, my Rx 7900 XT settings are, Max Frequency = 104%/2956MHz, Voltage = 99%/1089mV, VRAM = 110%/2750MHz with fast timing and Power Limit = -8%. With these i don't have to worry about fps or stability with low power usage an low temps and yes i use the percentages, i find it to have more stability. Hope this helps anyone.
whats your gpu model? pg, asus, nitro?

Finally been wanting for proper 7900 XT overclock guide 😭🙏🏾
Thank you haha
I was farting around with my 5600xt in that OC menu half a year ago, and it does not have that amount of settings presented here (obviously) but there are some observations I want to share. Automatic undervolt returns a mV number you can write down as the lower limit, and OC Ram returns the top MHz value and you write it down as well, so you have some limits to work with when doing the manual optimization or even OC. In a mix you will not get those values but they can be helpful. Settings per game are useful. I can play the whole day long BF2042 with a low core voltage but COD will freeze with that within a couple of minutes - so I have a profile with more mV for that game. If you play a specific game a lot it helps finding the lowest mV with a little bit of OC to keep the card cool and save something on the electric bill :) . Another thing that helped my 5600xt was to disable the ULPS in Msi Afterburner (you have to do it once and restart the system, re do it when upgrading the AMD driver). Especially with the Vulcan API in WWZ I had strange FPS drops (in game Benchmark) that are gone with ULPS disabled. That does not mean that the 7900xt has the same issue or solution it def works on my 5600xt. Hope that stuff I wrote makes some sense somehow.
Top video, i have just spent several days working through and testing an overclock on a 7900XT watercooled by an Alphacool block and this will hopefully short cut the process for some. I would recommend jumping to overclocking the memory to it's maximum before starting the undervolting testing and working through each setting one by one , stress testing for gaming with something like the 3D Mark Stress testing suit (it's paid but if you survive all of those you can probably move onto the next setting) . As Ancient Gameplays noted in the video be a little careful on the core clock , you can usually keep going on this one and it remain stable, but it gives diminishing returns 3058 was where it started to tail off on my GPU, so 3000 is a good mark. Likewise 1040mv was the lowest 'stable' undervolt i could get - it will go lower but with thorough stress testing it would fail. For the memory i could get stable at 2818 , which is huge , but the card is also watercooled which helps and even with aircooling i had a good idea the memory had a lot of headroom. Great way to get a lot more bang for the buck out of a great card
Wow seriously thank you! Im not exactly smart when it comes to these high end GPUs so this was a massive help. Especially raising the power limit to 15, I can genuinely see a difference with my performance. I don’t know why the card automatically comes with a garbage fan curve and power limit set to 0 out of the box. But thank you

Just bought my 7900xt. I'm waiting for the delivery and already came to see your video, as always, it's very interesting.
Appreciate the video! After much experimenting, I settled on the exact same settings, except I can push down to 1020 mV on 2500 mhz. So far, 1020 has been stable in BG3, 3Dmark, and Helldivers (which crashes for unrelated reasons lol).
EDIT: looks like 1030 mv is my new UV on 2500 mhz, as I finally got a crash at 1020 after 3 weeks
I'm at 2500 MHz , 1035 mv, amd edition with VRAM overheating so I underclock it
Nice video, the performance went up noticeably and everything runs stable. My score on 3dmark went up by 2100 points. Thank you for the guide.
I never asked for this, but given I bought a 7900XT about a year ago, I definitely was one of the silent ones waiting on it!
Great then haha
@@AncientGameplays It it normal for my GPU temperature to be 69 degrees C while gaming but the GPU memory to always hover around 80? I did some similar settings for my 7800xt. Also for the fan speed I put it to maximum, I don't mind the noise. Do you think this is okay? Thanks in advance, i hope you can give me an answer
@@CatalinIulianPopescu Gddr6 can run safely upwards of a 110c but should be kept at or below 95c. Of course lower is almost always better for life span and stability. So your 80c is completely ok
@@P0PL12 But why is he lowering the fan percentage when overclocking? For noise reduction?. I am a little confused
@@CatalinIulianPopescu Yeah that is likely the case, many people don't like the fan noise so they limit the fan speed. The default curve also isn't great as it caps pretty low on the total speed.
Thnx for the vid Mr Jesus. I love my Asrock Taichi 7900XT. I can undervolt it to 1020mv, core 3000 and mem 2746 with powerlimit to +15. Running latest games like Horizon FW, Alan Wake, Avatar etc. on max settings 1440P without a sweat 🤩. Paired with 5800x3D .
Damn, you got the lottery there
Fast timings tho? I scored 35996 in timespy on air on my taichi
First of all let me just say that I love the fact that you put random meme's in the video. It always cracks me up xD
Second of all thanks for this video!! I picked up a 7900xt after my 7800xt turned out to be a little too weak for 4k gaming, so this video is absolutely welcome :))
Great, at 4K the XT is considerably faster indeed!
I've been looking for this! last one you made that was close was 7900xtx but glad you made one specifically for 7900xt! Thank you!
Hey fabio, thanks for the video. Because there was no particular video from you for 7900xt, i understood the concepts from other videos of 7900xtx and 7800xt and had undervolted my pulse 7900xt a month ago. Used 500/2400 and 2664 vram frequency. Its stable and i never go above 255 watts power draw. So dont worry, even with english not being your first language (just like me) i was able to understand everything and apply it myself.
Did you undervolt or overclock the rx 7900 xt? I am new with this and planning to play at 1440 p , thank you in advanced!
I literally bought a sapphire 7900 XT nitro a week ago and completed my new PC and this dude comes out with perfect timing lol. Thanks
Nitro+ model for 7900xt is kinda overkill
Fun fact: 7900xt & 7900xtx coolers are 99% the same in terms of copper/aluminum (ventilation design), only power circuit is different
So, getting any cheap 7900xt will result in cool 7900xt even if U max OC
But OC some lower-end 7900xtx, will result in warm card (around 7c more compared to 7900xt)
@@Jack_Sparrow131 any advise for oveclock and undervolt this card specifically?
@@Jack_Sparrow131 Except nitro 7900xt is the only 7900xt fed power through 3 8-pins and it has a higher power limit giving it more OC headroom
@miha1999grobar that 3 of 8-pin is overkill.. 7900xt mostly bottlenecked from circuit board design & safety regulations, not the power cable
1 cable of 8-pin = 300w max (counted as 150w to 200w for safety masserues)
So, in theory, 2 of 8-pins can handle up to 600w max (500w at worst case scenario)
Am using 7900xtx Pwercooler Hellhound (use only 2 of 8-pins) and its reach up to 415 OC) with sudden 1 sec draws around 450w
Even 7900xtx models will only benefit from 3 of 8-pin cables only in max OC in thr high end models like Nitro+ which reach 460w
@@Pinozzo Nitro+ cards are meant for high OC, $50 to $100 price different than common cards means U will push higher OC overall thanks to great card design
But even Nitro+ high OC needs a small undervolt to get around more 70MHz more or less
So, use the same avg tune, only golden silicon lottery will result in slightly better OC (Nitro+ models mostly uses slightly better silicone picked from the manufacture) at least compared to their Pulse model which use avg samples.. or that what people were claiming in past 5 years
Thanks Fabio. I purchased the 7900XT when it came out based on your videos. This is an excellent video. I will be playing with these settings this weekend!

I love the Power saving setting. Saved me 90+ Hotspot temps. Now the are 80 and it draw way lower power.
great!
I do own RX6900XT and RX7900XTX and i loving them. But! in Adrenaline edition i dont understand AMD logic to put core and mem tuning behind 2 tabs. First tab unlock slider scalers to 0-100... From what to what?! like wtf?! you have to also click advanced control to see exact frequencies. That "basic" tuning option without telling the actual frequencies is completely unnecessary and stupid. Loving your content, you are doing a good job!
thanks bro... i used the power saving because it uses 100w less than the overclock and its only 10fps difference..plus the card is more silent and its more cool
You could still undervolt to have nearly the same FPS with lower power
Cant wait for KCD2 benchmarks comming at the end of the year, will be nuts
Dudeeeee i didnt even realise kcd2 gonna drop!! Jesus Christ be praised. Totally forgot about that gem

THIS IS THE BEST 7900XT OC & UV VIDEO ON RUclips. That is all. Would be nice to see how to OCUV for each game tho but Im thankful.
just bought this card from gigabyte, your videos are a god send. thank you sirr!!!
You are my hero! I just got my XFX RX 7900 XT 2 days ago and I thought to myself, "Self! I bet Ancient Gameplays has a video on how to overclock and undervolt my 7900 XT". Being that I watched and learned from your video on how to over/under my previous RX 6750 XT, I felt it was a safe bet!
In all seriousness, thank you very much! I've been a fan of your channel since I first found it in October of '23. Keep up the great content! BTW, I think your English is good!
Edit: I have a question. My VRAM timing is consistently at 2586Mhz (when max is set to 2600 Mhz) if I am watching a youtube video. Should it be this high? If I scroll off the video into the comments section, the speed goes done to 909 Mhz. As soon as I scroll back up to the video, it goes right back to 2586 Mhz, even if the video is paused. I changed the max freq to 2500 Mhz and it would down go to 2487 Mhz and stay there whether the video is playing or is paused.
it shouldn't, try the 24.5.1 drivers in case you're using the 24.6.1 (these ones aren't that great)
@@AncientGameplays That worked! Thanks so much!
@@AncientGameplays I spoke too soon. While the VRAM speed is no longer riding at 2487 Mhz, it is now at a constant 909 Mhz. I did read on the AMD forum of several people that have had this problem and I did not see a resolution for it. Should I send the card back? I did see the price for the XFX RX 9700 XTX dropped to $869 for Amazon Days. That's only $169 more than I paid for the 7900 XT. Then again, people that have the XTX are experiencing this problem as well. I never had this issue with the RX 6750 XT I had before this one.
Thanks for the video! managed 3200 @ 1015mv with 2718 on the memory using fast timings on my gigabyte gaming oc! (granted most games it doesnt boost above 3000 except lite games like gta v etc.)
Anything over 3000 won't havr any benefits I believe
@@AncientGameplays interesting, I'll just leave it like that for now and will monitor for weird behaviour. Sofar tho it's running like a dream
My pulse 7900xt is set to 3100mhz/1080mv, +15% power limit, 2714mhz with fast timings (Hynix). so far so good, running at 80C on the hotspot and 73C on memory at x16 gen3 bus.
I wanna say to you that you are a truly lifesaviour: I was having random PC reboots for three weeks in a row because I was testing my Powerhound 7900 XT undervolting, and the problem was that I was reducing the clocks along with the voltages (like 2600 MHz with 1025-1050 Mv, so I misunderstood how undervolting works) and that seems to be the problem. Now, I am using 2900 Mhz with 1050 Mv (with +15 % power limit ofc) for 5 or 6 hours more or less and the problem seems that is gone.
Now I have a question: I hate listening the fans spinning with high revolutions too, but if the temperature reaches high temps (70+ degrees) I think that will start to have fps drops. Have you ever tested that in RDNA3?
Keep working with your amazing videos!
You won't have fps drops (unless you VRAM temps are too high), but you might need a better case airflow too. Glad I could help!
Always used afterburner, so did not know about fast memory timings. Learned something new, so a big thumbs up from me.
Limiting the core clock is insane with the wattage, at 2500 vs 3000 wattage dropped a solid 80-90 w with minimal difference to fps
Exactly
I liked it but you didn't mention the profiles you can set up per game and that you can export/import profiles. So you can do like slower power saving profiles for some older games and keep the global one for the rest. And if it crashes and resets all settings the import function is very handy. Especially with a custom fan curve that took time to make.
I mean, i've done dozens of videos stating that and I do talk about the profiles in the end

Thank you my friend, big hug!
Thanks for choosing my card to do a video on. It's greatly appreciated.
compared to my older asus tuf 6900 xt, I indeed do some things differently for my sapphire nitro 7900 xt.
I very much agree to: power limit to max +15, minimum gpu frequency 500.
but what I do - and this is my recommendation - to create profiles. because every game behaves differently in terms of max frequency and power draw and I must stay under the TBP limit of my gpu board!!
so my approach is:
* fan tuning: disabled (both tuf and nitro did/does a fan-tastic job, no need from my side to tune)
* power limit enabled: +15%
* vram tuning: enabled, advanced control enabled, max frequency 2750
* gpu tuning: enabled, advanced control enabled, min frequency 500, voltage ("offset") 1015
the voltage I found for my card in this way: I started with ~1070 (which was the min for my old 6900 ;-)) and played games for ~2 weeks. if stable, I decreased by ~10mV. a.s.o.
now 1015 I'm a year with and actually I don't bother going further down. I had some crashes with lower values but due to the games? or due to the excessive undervolt? I don't know. that is why stopped and stayed at 1015. which is perfectly stable.
and now, , I start to figure out what is the optimal max frequency.
questions to me:
A) do I want to save power (because game is old, has anyways very high fps)?
B) do I want to have higher fps?
for A) I start with 600 (but the card usually does not go below ~1300) and increase until I'm satisfied.
for B) I start with 2500 and observe.
when going with higher max frequency, I'm observing whether I get TBP spikes of / above 350W. if so then max frequency is the limit resp I go a bit down. the TBP of my nitro is 368W or so. and once I start getting spikes to this power limit, the fps start tanking very much very fast -> not good. (apropos, never ever managed 3000 mhz. I don't understand how you guys get good performance in games and 3000 mhz setting ;-))
I play on my oled 4k@120hz (usually @10bit hdr). my cpu is an older 5950x. my psu is "be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 750W". had no coil whine ever. neither with my old asus nor with the newer sapphire. my case fans were always louder than the GPUs. 😀
for example, I play alan wake 2 with max 2650 frequency. there I'm around TBP ~350+w usage.
hope this helps you guys.
thanks fabio for the video 👍👍
Hey great explanation quick question i have a xfx 6900xt could you recommend the settings for that card too? Thanks
@@mohamad.h4300
i had an asus tuf 6900 xt. to that time my focus was max efficiency. i had fan tuning off, power tuning off, vram tuning on, fast timings and 2124 mhz, gpu tuning min/max 2250/2350 and voltage 1060. with that i was playing tw3 with ~245w tgp and 4k/100-120 fps. but unfortunately there was one scene where the gpu crashed repeatably. i needed to go to 1070mV which has added some 10w tgp.
cyberpunk 2077 was even more volatile but also more buggy to that time (game&drivers).
just the video i was looking for🔥
Great
the video i've waited for months.on air now.
Thank you for this video! EDIT: Oh, I guess we both have the Samsung chips on the 7900 XT and my results seem in line with yours. Since I had already written the text below, I'll post it for others to take part of my experience.
I have a question that puzzles me a bit. I have the TUF Gaming 7900 XT OC and I struggle to get artifacts from OC. This sounds like a great thing but no. The thing is that I have intermittent restarts when i OC the VRAM above the OC VRAM preset (2650 MHz, which unfortunately is only 6% over stock while some seem to be able to go as far as 2800 Mhz??). No artifacts or performance loss (which I've come to expect after watching other OC videos). The highest I've been able to stress test it with is 2850 MHz on the VRAM and then it can be stable for 30 min or more and then suddenly crash and restart with no or minimal load (e.g. youtube). Also, it seem like once I have a crash/restart it is more prone to crashing over and over again on lower frequencies that previously seemed stable from stress tests. I've stress tested the GPU with OCCT too since I suspected it could be insufficient power (Got Seasonic Focus GX 850W though) but according to OCCTs "last log entry before crash" the max power was no where near maximum power draw,
Also, I was surprised to see you're running the fan at 23%! I usually run it with max 50% or 60%. 23% sounds a bit scary, even with my well vented Lian Li 216.
Perfect timing I just got my 7900xt and been dialing it in. So far I got 2900max frequency, 1070mv (was stable for most stuff all the way down to 1000mv but then crash so working my way back down), mem at 2700. Card is quite impressive. Waiting on my gpu block and then I’ll try the higher freq and work down the voltage. I’m not sure what memory the power color uses but I had it really high in heaven (like 2800) and still couldn’t see any artifacts but I wasn’t too comfortable with that so dropped down to 2700 and figure that’ll be enough.
Thank you so much Fabio!
Once again, the best AMD Tutorial out there!
You answered my question from yesterday even better than with your already awesome text message!
Keep up the great work!
By the way: my Gigabyte OC gets to stable 2600 Mhz with the slider at 2600 with fast timing (haven't tested other frequencies). No need to offset by 12-18MHz for me
odd, never saw an AMD card that didn't need the VRAM offset haha
Great video Fabio, im on water and that power increase for little performance just isn't worth it for me. It already performs so well with SAM enabled. On my v64 i did OC my HBM memory and that made a massive difference. I may undervolt for summer months though that doesn't seem like a bad idea.
Yeah, the power saving profile is generally good
Great video, very well explained, super helpful, repeating messages is a sure fire way of getting through and highlighting its importance. Your second language is better than some who speak it natively.
At 21:40 on the undervolted part the game show a little flash, it occours when the power isn't enough.
With AMD Navi Cards, you can have better results in lower resolutions but if it flash in 1080p it will crash on 4k.
Yes, but that was not the case, i didn't see it when running the game, so it might have been the recording
Thanks for this guide brother. More power to you and your channel. Very informative and well done. 👍
In fact.. there is 1 more option U didn't mention.. people call it light to medium (super stable on all models)
Max freq: 2900MHz / Volt: 1100mv / Memory 2650MHz / Power: depends on your model, don't go beyond 400w max
This will result getting 8% out of the 12% of 460w max OC, so U still get 8% more fps for 15% less power (win-win situation)
Max OC is 2 much.. especially for 7900xtx (max go up to 460w) which result in high heat inside PC (might hurt your inner components)
This also works with 7900xt models.. do same thing, but don't let the power go beyond 350w for 7900xt models
Note: going to 3000MHz will result in some unstable games (depending on the engine) in 90% of scenarios,of GPUs barely reach 2750MHz in 4K & 2850MHz in 1080p, so trying to reach 3000MHz will only work with top end cards like Nitro+ with max 460w + only in 1080p & below
Leave a reply & I might answer any question regarding the AMD GPUs.. am kinda expert in their OC/UV..etc, best luck to AMD cards fans
I mean, going to 3000MHz won't be unstable in most scenarios as in 90% of them you won't reach that frequency at all, and if you do you only need to tweak the voltage.
2900MHz with 1100mv is kinda worse as your slider voltage is higher. The rest is exactly as I stated. Also the XTX and XT models work a bit differently on the 2900MHz mark (my XTX uses 3GHz no issues)
@@AncientGameplays 3000MHz won't be stable for 400w max OC (7900xtx models).. while 2900MHz will be super stable overall
3000MHz will need minimum 430w & beyond
7900xtx avg models uses 2 8-pins cables, which never goes from 400w to 415w, only those 3 8-pins cards can get stable 3000MHz, for 7900xtx models at least
7900xt is ok to go with 3000MHz with 2 8-pin cables since they never reach beyond 390w
@@Jack_Sparrow131 i have nitro+ xtx and i only game in 4k and it all depends on the game you're playing, i have individual profiles for my games and some games i can go with max frequency of 3117 and HWinfo reports the card to go above 3200, but it's not good for the power usage, and even if it is stable in all my games it does not benefit in all scenarios, it will go above 550w according to HWinfo, but only in 1 specific game.. However most games work better with lower frequencies and it is also better for the power usage, which is anything from 400w to 475w at lower freq, and i don't worry about heat, it is only air cooled in a small fractal torrent compact case with no exhaust fan, but card keeps cool and i have only seen it go to 72 degrees at the highest in summer, and i'm sure it will not hurt any inner components lol.
Wow, thx Fabio! I was definitely one of those annoying kids 😅 Very much appreciated! Muito obrigado! 🎉
And still on my 7900xtx merc 310 speedster with 7800x3d chip the software still causes frame stutter issues when I do a full install of the software. I just use minimal instal to avoid that issue and I believe lose the option to tune. I’ve does fresh installs of the software and windows but think it’s just something else or specifically the software. I’ve sent reports about it over the past year too 😂
Currently I also just use afterburner with a -10 (most I can slide) on the gpu
Finally! Man I have been waiting for this one for a while now. I had to figure it out on my own in hopes you would make a video proving me right or wrong. LOL. Thank you!
I almost fried my 7900xt with a bad power supply and oc. its true psu connectorst to gpu got melted ruined the bad psu but the gpu had miner melting on the connections but still works
Thank you very much for this in-depth and detailed information. Much appreciated.
Thank you as well!
When I had the 7900 xt this was around what my OC was funny enough lol.
Enjoying the GRE atm. Only issue, which was the same issue I had with the 7900xt.
Is my sound sometimes goes in and out.
I'm using them via Hdmi to a 60htz tv. Wonder if that could be the issue?
Wasn't too hard a fix tho, I just bypassed the card its self for sound
and used the motherboards sound via digital out.
Still annoying tho. Odd how something like that still hasn't been addressed.
Or, perhaps my case is so minimal that it didn't warrant a fix.
Either way, all is well.
Your channel has helped me so much man, take you so much for your contribution to the community!
FINALLY!!!!!! I’m thankful. Should have just tagged me at this point lol. I don’t know if it matters but the same goes for the Nitro+ right? They are a different breed
It is all answered in the common questions
Thank you for all the efforts and for hearing us always ❤️ 💜
Thank you. So much bad information out there, but this video finally got my card to be cooler and not crashing anymore. Thank you so much.
Glad I could help! Be aware thst you might need a better psu, watts alone don't matter much
man i hope you stick around, i love your videos.
I've been waiting for the 7900xt for quite some time! Thank you!!!!!
I have a 7900xtx but I still like watching these videos 😂
ahah we won! he did it 😁
Yeah mine Pulse 7900xt run perfect at 1040mv with 1700mhz on both core clocks and vram... after a lot of testing, after seing your XTX tutorial!
Gotta test with the fast timing tho!
The max stable I can get on my sapphire 7900xt nitro+ is 3100MHz with 950mV and 2700MHz vram. Course with +15 power limit.
3100MHz leads to a higher "base" voltage, hence why you can lower the slider so much. Nice
i am using Msi afterburner for this, cus everytime i have been using the radeon adrenaline for this, it resets alot. but thank you for your work. im doing this on the XFX 7900 XT black edition :)
Reset = not 100% stable
Same thing happened to me with 6800xt back in 2020, and also happened on my 7900xtx in 2023
I ended up doing 2 same profiles.. 1 in MSI After Burner, 2nd in Adrenaline
And that did worked well for me, I even did the same fans speed, so no matter if they reset or not, the 2nd program will OC
And as far as I know, MSI After Burner force Adrenaline to reset in case U didn't made OC profile in MSI
I've looked near and far and at this point, I am convinced you might be the only one to deliver or even try: would it be possible to see the power scaling of RDNA 3 on the 7900 XT or 7800 XT, not going up, but going down. For a mad man who would aim at efficiency, or for anyone looking at that fabled 54% perf/watt that's "clearly" not at the 300W+ compared to last gen.
Honestly, I just to undervolt and underclock my GPU to be cooler, but I'm wondering on a wider scale, at various power level, how AMD and Nvidia performs (but not in a "who's better", just "for science").
фабио,спасибо за видео🤝🤝🤝👋я пришел к тому,что самое удобное на rx7900xtx,это предустановленные настройки,тишина,сбалансированный и ярость,бросил возню с андервольтингом🤷♂
Great video,,I have a XFX merc 7900xt , running happy at +15 power,3142 core ,2736vram fast timing .995mv ,, it's my go to oc/uv for everything from cyberpunk to avatar, Hogwarts, assassin's Creed Valhalla,,etc,, love that Merc
I'm considering buying the same 7900 XT model. I'm confused though, when you say +15 power you mean that you're consuming more power than stock?
@@xOmar56xnot with the undervolting,,,I get way better performance with the same amount of board power or less,,, I like running 985 to 995mv on the undervolt,,,my Merc 6700xt loves a nice undervolting also and gets nice performance gains
@@jamietipsword7866 oh that's nice. I found a 7900 XT at €600 and ,coincidence, it's a XFX Merc. Seriously taking it in consideration. Are all games you've played with those tunings you posted stable? You ever experience crashes or something?
Ps. Thanks for taking some of your time to clear my doubts, appreciate it 🙏🏻
@@xOmar56x seems to be stable,,, have to adjust the voltage a little for certain games,, for instance cyberpunk 2077, Valhalla you can undervolt to 985mv.yet Hogwarts,, avatar 995mv,,,,,Iim new to the OC/UV thing,, been playing around the last year and a half ,, love how easy AMD adrenaline is to use,, I got a hall of fame score for my hardware on steel nomad 😄,,
BRO WHAT!!!!!!!! WHEN DID YOU MAKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!! I MISSEED THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BRO UR THE BEST
Milles mercis Fabio, mes deux Taichi 7900XTX sous Eiswolf d'Alphacool te remercient
Fabio, do you think that we should use games that have a higher Vram requirement to test the Vram overclocked? Not every memory chip in the card will be able to achieve the same clocks necessarily, so it may be that certain Vram clocks will be stable when running a game that only requires 8GB, but not when running a game that uses 12 or 16Gb.
I have mine OC'd at 500/2955MHz @ 1025mV | 2650MHz | Power Limit +15%. I mainly play @ 1440p resolution and have it paired with a Ryzen 5 7600. A negligible bottleneck and 4K resolution is just within reach. I find that 2955 is the sweet spot for my system as I never reach 3000MHz during gaming. I would greatly appreciate your opinion.
Also, have you considered sharing your thoughts on static overclocks vs PBO vs stock with AMD CPUs? As always, thank you for the awesome content!
Still have my 5700 XT as my daily - don’t want to ditch my AM4 yet. Should I go for 5800X3D & 7800 XT or full upgrade to 7800X3D & 7900 XT (and other AM5 components)?
If you're happy with what you have, I'd wait, as new components are releasing towards the end of the year. It's my plan at the moment, though I am using a 7000 series.
@Fabio…do you use any Sapphire Cards? Recently I downloaded Trixx and found a nifty feature called Trixx Boost which allows you to create a custom resolution & upscale from that. For 1080p & 1440p monitors I found that 90% is the sweet spot and then use RSR to upscale the image. For 4K the sweet spot is 85%. It nets you around 20-25% boost in fps without sacrificing visual quality unlike native RSR that I find affecting the visual quality and producing artifacts. If possible can you do review of it? And once again bro thanks for all the efforts you put into making these videos for the fellow Radeon users.
Nice. The overclock works really well for some games like Ghost of Tsushima but for others it is quite unstable for me. (like for dark tide ).
hopefully you will make overclock and undervolt rtx 4070 ti super too
Will work on those soon as well
Hi bro I need your help recently I purchased RX 7600 gpu but when I play games there are lots of stuttering issue, please me with the settings of this gpu, please reply
My tuf 7900xt does 2750mhz vram but is not stable with fast timings😅
What? That's insane haha
I always preach about never, ever skimping on your power supply. Ironically, the least sexy component in your system is the most crucial. Personally, I won't buy anything that doesn't have the Seasonic logo on it.
☝️👍🙋
Yeah Seasonics are great, but since they're not nearly as easy to find as Corsair in my country, I went with an RM850x for my PSU. Still excellent, though.
@@VerilyTriumphantCorsairs OEM for their PSUs is Seasonic (Along with alot of the market)..Seasonic, SuperFlower and FSP make like 80% of the market of power supplies.
Seasonic? not really that essential since half of good known brands use Seasonic, SuperFlower, FSP in their Gold Rated PSU
Any Gold with 750w to 1000w will be enough, as long as it's from known brand
But getting some cheap Gold Chinese PSU & expecting it will serve U well.. will, that's will be funny to watch you PC fry Lol
Seasonic, FSP, EVGA, Asus, MSI, Corsair, XPG, Cooler Master..etc, are all great PSUs, especially their Gold ones
Thank u for this blessing AMD Jesus
Btw, i use a tool to adjust binary power profile limits in order to put a hard limit on cpu/gpu regardless fmax enhance/pbo maxed, i can share screen n show you on discord and if you like it, share it
Yeah I get, but why?
@@AncientGameplays not widely known, and basically anyone can power their system to the max as long as it can boot the microcode part of OS it'll never crash because hard limit prevents it from peaking and going above the set frequency, it's pretty nice
But I show you, you show viewers. Considering I don't have an audience just was an idea my disc is my username without 3914
AMD Jesus never dissapoints
My OCed 7900XT nitro+ beat 4080's 3Dmark speedway score
3d mark doesn't relate directly to gaming though
@@AncientGameplays i know man, just bragging kkkk
really hard to say it's power saving when consuming 300watt, almost like a microwave or refrigerator mode
Power saving = less power than stock with around the same perf.
All top tier cards across the years have been pullung over 300w
When possible, pls help with 7800xt overclocking undervold video
That video is already done
Found it, thank you 😊@@AncientGameplays
after the new amd driver update when fluid motion frames came out the rx 7900 xt was able to reach 990 voltage without any crashes if you had a really good silicone and every1 should be able to do 1010 or 1020 im currently doing 995 its been stable ever since the amd fluid motion frames came out and im also on a reference 7900 xt
I have a reference too , was stable with 1035,mv since launch, I might try to undervolt again, my VRAM hot spot was overheating without it
@@slugha432 yeah at launch mine was stable at 1035 too but im not sure what amd did to get the voltage much lower
Muito bom, no meu caso estou com shapphire (oc), 1070 mv ficou com estabilidade, seu eu baixar mais começa dar uns tilts e o adrenaline as vezes nao abre, mas isso acontece so nesses ultimos dois driver. Like!
Nem todos os drivers vão ser estáveis com as mesmas definições
would love to OC my 7900xt, unfortunately i lost the silicon lottery
you can always OC with these cards, what you might need is a better PSU
Dunno if benchmarks are easier to run then games but I've had my vram at near 2900mhz with no visual errors that I can see (could be throwing up a load of errors but nothing i can see). Past 2900 things don't render correctly and things start turning red and characters have extra polygons sticking out of them.
Also in different benchmarks ive had the voltage as low as under 900mv
Another great video, very informative. Thank you for all the research and hard work.
What about the 7900XTX ? On mine with max 45% fan hotspot gets way too hot at 100C+, and 1040mV isn't stable, can't really go below 1090
if you want to lower hotspot temp you should lower your max frequency and keep mV as low as possible so 1090mV. but hotspot max temp is 110, so you're good at 100..
My settings are constantly reset after turning on the computer. I need to always load my profile. Can someone help me with this?
Means they aren't 100% stable
@@AncientGameplays Changing -1mV to 1099mV then reset PC -> it still on stock 1100mV. No matter what changing. Games profiles work well, but Global always on default.
Does the 7900 XT OC match the 7900 XTX stock, or at least are they similar?
Close in just some games
Please do a guide for the RTX 4080 Super aswell!
I will 💪💪
@@AncientGameplays Obrigado, tio Fabio! 🤗
Thank you Papa 🙏

Hello can we get updated video of OC UV for 6900 and 6950XT
Great guide thank you, do you have any recommendations for coil whine ? On warhammer space marine 1 very noisy as over 400fps, so if i use radeon chill and restrict it to 240fps or lower it is fine but other more intensive games need limiting to 144 or lower or coil whine is noticeable, if i restrict gpu mhz to 2000 the coil whine disappears but then so does the performance, trying to find a balance to have 240hz fps globally with no coil whine, perhaps i just need to set it game specific instead, only just got the hellhound 7900xt and it is a great card, perhaps i.just need to play around more with power limit, volts, mhz and frame limits to find the sweetspot, performance is way above what i have before, so dont need extra fps, just want same fps, less watts and no or very little coil whine
Lower volts and p.draw usually mean less coil whine. Especially if your card model is lower end
@@AncientGameplays thanks 🙏
I know you repeated it in the beginning that it'll work for the RX 7900 XT series, does this include the XTX also im assuming?
use my XTX video :D
haha, i asked for this, tysm
