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.
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.
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
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.
Mine is running at a max frequency of 2156 MHz and 990 mV. The performance drop was ~4%, but the power consumption decreased by 34%. With only 230 W of power consumption, I think it's absolutely worth it.
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 .
Thank you very much for this video. I have The Nitro+ model. My overclock is now. +15% Power 1030mv undervolt. Dont know if I should try 1020. Mhz: Min. 500 Max: 3000 Memory: 2814 Mhz Cannot use fast timings on memory, that is not stable. I dont know if I can tweak more out the memory. It has given me around 10% more FPS in some games, at native. Hotspot went from 80-82 to 72. so much less fan noise! Very impressed by the performance and less heat on hotspot. I can try to undervolt some more and tweak the memory until failure. But this just seem to be a good spot. Hope many more see this guide and get the same value from it.
@@zuhairwahaishi3676 stable so far, with vram at 2764. This is stable with the usage I have. I can see that Adrenalin would like to have a les undervolt. That was adjusted at the crash. So if it happens again at some point, I probably would go to 1040 mv.
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
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.
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 :))
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.
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 appreciate your video about OC/UV the 7900XT. Very well explained and very well detailed. There's no need to apologize about English being your second language. You do very well in all your videos.
@@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.
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
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 was lucky enough to pick up an open box XR 7900 XT reference card for $550. I found that on the power limit anything past +5 would make the card unstable during testing. Maxed out to +15 I was seeing 350 to 360 watts. Running at 0 to +5 I was seeing a max of 308 to 320 watts. With that said, 1050 undervolt, 2900Mhz max, leaving the VRAM alone, and setting the fans to 70% max worked out well. I top out at 73 degrees and can not hear the fans.
Really appreciate the superb guide! As soon as my new build from scratch runs stable and I have some stock comparisons for my games, I will give these a shot for my Powercolor RX 7900XT Hellhound. Stoked to see how much I can get out additionally.
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
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!
Got mine stable at 985mV 3000mhz core 2650mhz VRAM +15% power limit - this translates to aprox 11% better score in Time Spy. Day to day set up I run it undervolted but with no increase in power limit for lower temps.
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!
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.
So i have the XFX 7900 xt merc 310. He says to set it to 3000 clock but what i notice is that at 3000 the hotspot in games gets insane like 85c for no reason so i set it to 2850ccklock, volt 1030 and memory 2814 and my temps dropped to the 60/65c with less then 1 fps drop. there is no more you can get in fps IN GAME not Benchmarks after 2850 core clocks all you get it is 1 fps and 15c in higher temps. But like i said be benchmarks are much different then in game.
@@AncientGameplays Hey I do understand that it can go up to 110C but the problem is from 2850 to 3000 you only again 1-2 fps but gain 10 to 15 C in temps.
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
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.
I have a XFX 7900xtx and obviously might be different but with the power limit I find little performance gain for -15٪ vs +15% maybe 10fps but massive power draw difference , this is with Assetto Corsa Competizione... it seems odd.
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.
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!
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).
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
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.
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
@@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
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
Which usually has more impact on FPS increase? VRAM overclocking or simply max core frequency? Also what's the max GPU hotspot temp that you would be comfortable at for gaming? Like at what temp would you start thinking about potentially increasing fan speeds?
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Bro great vid! Question about my rig: I have a 13700k (undervolted), 850w psu and a 1440p high refreshrate monitor (2nd monitor will be 4K). Looking for the perfect 1440p and 4k gpu €900 max. So a 4070tiS vs 7900xt. Good value but I want to undervolt the 7900xt to make it more efficient. Is that a good solution or just save for a 4080s? I don’t like power hungry components… (Sorry for the long post! I really like your vids) 😂
@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.
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..
Sometimes I think about undervolting both my 7800x3d and 7900xt, but I read horror stories that in the long term (even if all stability tests were passed and everything seems to work well) it can only get worse (instability in specific moments or downtime, etc., which will only worsen the condition of the CPU and GPU in the future) I don’t know what to do, I kind of want to, but I’m scared
I'm drawing 80W, VRAM clock speed is at 2600MHz, and I'm only in Adrenaline and Firefox, any idea why that is? Gpu clock speed is at a 100MHz or less and around 686mV. The VRAM Clock Speed is just staying at 2600MHz the whole time (I set it at 2614) Temp is 43 celcius and power limit at 15%
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 😂
3000mhz core 2750mhz mem is the sweetspot for me but I've never undervolted it, something new for me. I feel I could do more now I've had this with 1100 mV all the time
I'd like to understand one thing since I'm considering buying this gpu and I don't have a great knowledge about this whole thing. I sorta came to understand that overclocking and at the same time undervolting is supposed to deliver more performance and consume less power but for example at 21:12 it seems the OC and undervolt version consumes 50W more than stock. Am I missing something here?
What do you think: if the game/driver crashed when timing for stable voltage, should you reboot the pc or driver will recover from the crash just fine?
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
Fabio, would it be safe for me to follow the instructions for your 7900 GRE overclock tutorial video if I have a standard/generic version of the card? Cheers
@@AncientGameplays Cool! Thank you, appreciate the reply, AMD Jehovah. The games I play right now don't really need any boost and I'm happy with it's out of the box performance but might need it when it comes to games like Gray Zone Warfare and other future titles.
that CPU will do its job well most times at 1440P. Get the card you like the most, if you're working with it, see how AMD runs in the software you use first
@@AncientGameplays Because we the simple people see that Adrenalin changed quite a lot ^^ we are basic. Also there is a silly part of me that hopes I can get more juice out of it but life isn't about more juice, right ?

I have your overclock/undervolt for the 6700XT cards, so stable gave me better performance and 30-40w less on my GPU while Gaming :)
Great!
It's always best when normal people explain rather then "experts" - plain language FTW
Thank you
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.
Thank you!
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
Just bought my 7900xt. I'm waiting for the delivery and already came to see your video, as always, it's very interesting.
Mine just arrived yesterday. Did you complete the overclock/undervolt, and if so, how did you find the settings from this vid? Thanks
Хах я тоже
@@bronsondawe85 Hey how did you find yours to perform?
Finally been wanting for proper 7900 XT overclock guide 😭🙏🏾
Thank you haha
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.
Mine is running at a max frequency of 2156 MHz and 990 mV. The performance drop was ~4%, but the power consumption decreased by 34%. With only 230 W of power consumption, I think it's absolutely worth it.
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
Damn asrock to and i can’t go 2746 mem it always crash

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.
Thank you very much for this video. I have The Nitro+ model. My overclock is now.
+15% Power
1030mv undervolt. Dont know if I should try 1020.
Mhz: Min. 500 Max: 3000

Cannot use fast timings on memory, that is not stable. I dont know if I can tweak more out the memory.
It has given me around 10% more FPS in some games, at native.
Hotspot went from 80-82 to 72. so much less fan noise!
Very impressed by the performance and less heat on hotspot. I can try to undervolt some more and tweak the memory until failure. But this just seem to be a good spot. Hope many more see this guide and get the same value from it.
I just had my first crash with these settings. I expect it was the Vram so we are back to 2764 mhz.
@@crm484 How's it looking now?
@@zuhairwahaishi3676 stable so far, with vram at 2764. This is stable with the usage I have. I can see that Adrenalin would like to have a les undervolt. That was adjusted at the crash. So if it happens again at some point, I probably would go to 1040 mv.
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
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.

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!
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
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.
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!
Thanks for watching and commenting
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

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
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 was lucky enough to pick up an open box XR 7900 XT reference card for $550. I found that on the power limit anything past +5 would make the card unstable during testing. Maxed out to +15 I was seeing 350 to 360 watts. Running at 0 to +5 I was seeing a max of 308 to 320 watts. With that said, 1050 undervolt, 2900Mhz max, leaving the VRAM alone, and setting the fans to 70% max worked out well. I top out at 73 degrees and can not hear the fans.
Really appreciate the superb guide!
As soon as my new build from scratch runs stable and I have some stock comparisons for my games, I will give these a shot for my Powercolor RX 7900XT Hellhound.
Stoked to see how much I can get out additionally.
Glad to see A Plague Tale Requiem still being covered in gpu benchmarks. Fantastic game with excellent graphics for raster.
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

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!

Glad to help+
I love the Power saving setting. Saved me 90+ Hotspot temps. Now the are 80 and it draw way lower power.
great!
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
Thank you so much just picked up the RX 7900XT Asrock Phantom gaming. Been looking for a guide like this much appreciated!!!!
Just got this card. How much did you altered settings?
Always used afterburner, so did not know about fast memory timings. Learned something new, so a big thumbs up from me.
Got mine stable at 985mV 3000mhz core 2650mhz VRAM +15% power limit - this translates to aprox 11% better score in Time Spy. Day to day set up I run it undervolted but with no increase in power limit for lower temps.
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!
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.
So i have the XFX 7900 xt merc 310. He says to set it to 3000 clock but what i notice is that at 3000 the hotspot in games gets insane like 85c for no reason so i set it to 2850ccklock, volt 1030 and memory 2814 and my temps dropped to the 60/65c with less then 1 fps drop. there is no more you can get in fps IN GAME not Benchmarks after 2850 core clocks all you get it is 1 fps and 15c in higher temps. But like i said be benchmarks are much different then in game.
Hotspspot at 85C is not insane, it is actually normal my friend
@@AncientGameplays Hey I do understand that it can go up to 110C but the problem is from 2850 to 3000 you only again 1-2 fps but gain 10 to 15 C in temps.

Thank you my friend, big hug!
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.
I have a XFX 7900xtx and obviously might be different but with the power limit I find little performance gain for -15٪ vs +15% maybe 10fps but massive power draw difference , this is with Assetto Corsa Competizione... it seems odd.
That's because you're cpu bottlenecked and the card raises clocks to compensate that and give extra frames I guess
@@AncientGameplays understood... thanks, I'll be sure to test with a game (track) which isn't so cpu heavy.
Thanks for choosing my card to do a video on. It's greatly appreciated.
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
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!
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.

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 what i was looking for, thankyou
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
Thanks very much. This really helped!
Milles mercis Fabio, mes deux Taichi 7900XTX sous Eiswolf d'Alphacool te remercient
I've been waiting for the 7900xt for quite some time! Thank you!!!!!
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.
I have a 7900xtx but I still like watching these videos 😂
man i hope you stick around, i love your videos.
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
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
the video i've waited for months.on air now.
just the video i was looking for🔥
Great
Which usually has more impact on FPS increase? VRAM overclocking or simply max core frequency? Also what's the max GPU hotspot temp that you would be comfortable at for gaming? Like at what temp would you start thinking about potentially increasing fan speeds?
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
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.
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.
Your channel has helped me so much man, take you so much for your contribution to the community!
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.
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
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
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.
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
Bro great vid! Question about my rig: I have a 13700k (undervolted), 850w psu and a 1440p high refreshrate monitor (2nd monitor will be 4K). Looking for the perfect 1440p and 4k gpu €900 max.
So a 4070tiS vs 7900xt. Good value but I want to undervolt the 7900xt to make it more efficient. Is that a good solution or just save for a 4080s? I don’t like power hungry components…
(Sorry for the long post! I really like your vids) 😂
@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 ).
i dont have the option for rage mode on my asus rx6700xt why ?
maybe that not for all cards. I know 6800XT and above have it
@@AncientGameplays ok my new 6700xt is already getting left behind 😔
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..
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
Sometimes I think about undervolting both my 7800x3d and 7900xt, but I read horror stories that in the long term (even if all stability tests were passed and everything seems to work well) it can only get worse (instability in specific moments or downtime, etc., which will only worsen the condition of the CPU and GPU in the future) I don’t know what to do, I kind of want to, but I’m scared
I'm drawing 80W, VRAM clock speed is at 2600MHz, and I'm only in Adrenaline and Firefox, any idea why that is?
Gpu clock speed is at a 100MHz or less and around 686mV. The VRAM Clock Speed is just staying at 2600MHz the whole time (I set it at 2614)
Temp is 43 celcius and power limit at 15%
Please do a guide for the RTX 4080 Super aswell!
I will 💪💪
@@AncientGameplays Obrigado, tio Fabio! 🤗
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
Great video!
Thank you for all the efforts and for hearing us always ❤️ 💜
3000mhz core
2750mhz mem
is the sweetspot for me but I've never undervolted it, something new for me.
I feel I could do more now I've had this with 1100 mV all the time
Why cant we see what the current overclock save file we are using, like a title above settings?
You can see the settings, but that's actually a great idea!
@@AncientGameplays yeah I make my file names with gpu speed and voltage with mem oc numbers.
I'd like to understand one thing since I'm considering buying this gpu and I don't have a great knowledge about this whole thing. I sorta came to understand that overclocking and at the same time undervolting is supposed to deliver more performance and consume less power but for example at 21:12 it seems the OC and undervolt version consumes 50W more than stock. Am I missing something here?
He pushet the powerlimit up. 330w Stock vs 370w is Just that 15% extra power
Thank you very much for this in-depth and detailed information. Much appreciated.
Thank you as well!
Hey, on the 7900 xtx tutorial, you said you have to put the min amount on a specific frequency too, why not on the 7900 xt?
things change, I even stated that in this video
@@AncientGameplays yes, however i seem to have higher stability with this video's method. i just wondered if there is a specific reason.
What do you think: if the game/driver crashed when timing for stable voltage, should you reboot the pc or driver will recover from the crash just fine?
It is always best to reboot to know that your drivers has restarted correctly😊
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
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
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 🙏
Fabio, would it be safe for me to follow the instructions for your 7900 GRE overclock tutorial video if I have a standard/generic version of the card? Cheers
You are entirely fine as long as your temps are fine too
@@AncientGameplays Cool! Thank you, appreciate the reply, AMD Jehovah. The games I play right now don't really need any boost and I'm happy with it's out of the box performance but might need it when it comes to games like Gray Zone Warfare and other future titles.
Does the 7900 XT OC match the 7900 XTX stock, or at least are they similar?
Close in just some games
With ryzen 5 7600 processor should I go with rtx 4070 super or 7900 GRE for 1440p gaming and civil engineering software.
that CPU will do its job well most times at 1440P. Get the card you like the most, if you're working with it, see how AMD runs in the software you use first
Can you update your 7800 Xt overclocking video? Pretty plz
No need to update, why do people think there's need for such things so often?
@@AncientGameplays Because we the simple people see that Adrenalin changed quite a lot ^^ we are basic. Also there is a silly part of me that hopes I can get more juice out of it but life isn't about more juice, right ?
hopefully you will make overclock and undervolt rtx 4070 ti super too
Will work on those soon as well
When possible, pls help with 7800xt overclocking undervold video
That video is already done
Found it, thank you 😊@@AncientGameplays
