As always, leave your doubts in the comment section, cheers! I had to send back this card before comparing the Stock vs OC for this video, but I advise you look at the review I made of the 6950XT because I show everything you need to know there :D ruclips.net/video/wUZkfuj8l6s/видео.html
i got ASrock 6950xt R5 7600x AM5 got real boost in wild hearts like 20-40 fps to become 120fps but noticed that the gpu utilizes 60-70% and cpu 70-80% what did i do wrong ?
#AncientGameplays Hey bro! maybe as a temporary solution (650w gold psu) could handle the system... until I can buy a suitable power supply? r5 5600 x + rx 6950 xt (at 1080p resolution) ??no oc system.
Amazing experience but I do not know with one to focus on GPU temp 70C and 90C with one is what idc, rx vega 56 shower me hbm temperatur but here I do not know if second one is vram or hotapot on core.
Thanks a loot, got me some hours to get 1120mV 20%power 2600-2800Mhz, 2280Mhz mem stable for me, vid help me where I should start with my overclock, at 70% GPU usage I hit 200-250W and timespy run goes 363W stable for hours, I did feel that fan on GPU was too slow was fan speed at 50% when temp was 70C and hot spot hit for a second 97C scared me so I am using 70% fan curve at 70C and now avg temp 66C in timespy run for 20 loop. When I rise power target I feel that 1120mV jump to 1200mV some times to make it stable but works great.
This vid is a year old atleast and bro still responded to my question. Very rare in this youtube space. I appreciate that and will recommend to everybody 💯
Can't believe I just now saw this. Very helpful tutorial bro. Good job walking ppl through all the little steps, making it easy for even new people to follow along. I feel like if more people just got used to using this software, they'd realize how nice it actually is, compared to Nvidia's options.
Just upgraded from a rx 6700 xt yo a rx 6900 xt. Can't wait to overclock it with your guide once again. This guy is a legend everyone. Shows you all the steps and explains everything well.
This helped me so much, I have a merc 6950xt xfx, temps dropped about 15c under load and the performance boost was good, 2 hours into my game and no crashes so far, also my power consumption dropped drastically. Yes I did every step mentioned, thank you very much.
@@strgzr. With these setting’s barely hitting 150 watts temps always under 50c, i mainly play halo infinite which is a poorly optimized game, with stock settings it used to hit up to 220 watts with over 65c
Thank you, I followed your 5600XT guide and had good results, upgraded to 6950XT (AMD reference) and again good results. Played Last Of Us Pt.1 for a pretty long time yesterday and no issues. Temps are about 5 to 10c lower, OC stable with your suggested settings, it uses about 30 to 50 watts less due to the undervolt, air coming out of my case is less hot = win
@@abzz9913 I did end up have some trouble using the settings from this video when I started playing other games. In the end I have it set now 1160mv, clocks 2000-2400mhz, no VRAM tuning. I have the reference model which is clocked a bit lower compared to the AIB models. Works great for me with these settings. But the general principle shown in the video applies, play around until it's stable ;)
@@abzz9913 So I kinda hop around a lot lol. But mostly single player action/adventure/horror games like Resident Evil (reboot and new games), Dead Space, Trepang2, Titanfall 2, modded New Vegas, Horizon Zero Dawn... At the moment I'm finishing RE4 remake. Will probably start playing Dying Light with a friend soon (I started the game years ago but never finished it).
One thing with this card i found curious is that the 6950xt seems (at least in my case) more dynamic than my 6900xt. I actually had almost mirror settings to what you showed here for one of my profiles so that was cool! Left stock fan profile on the 3 i tested. Just as an example - 6950xt Reference - Horizon Zero Dawn @ 1440p Ultra in Benchmark averages (SAM Enabled): Stock (stock settings) = 164 FPS | edge temp 78c, junction 95c | Power Avg 284w | 1700rpm fans - fairly quiet Undervolted OC 1 = 174fps (-10% power limit, 2500 min/ 2665 max@ 1090mv, 2400 fast timing, stock fan profile) edge temp 69c, junction 81c | Power Avg 255w | 1540rpm fans - very quiet Undervolted OC 2 = 177fps (+20% power, 2500min/2600 max @ 1110mv, 2400 fast timing, stock fan profile) 177fps | edge temp 73c, junction 87c | Power avg 274w | 2000rpm fan - noticable but not bad, could have lowered the cap for a little higher temps
Hi mate, for translation into GPU-Z, by edge temp you mean "GPU Temperature" and by junction you mean "GPU Temp (Hot Spot)? Thanks! If so, I really shoud re-apply the thermal grease (planned tomorrow anyways, aswell as Thermal pads). In let's say ARK, I got about 80°C GPU Temp, and 93-96°C for the Hotspot. And it's a Liquid Devil with a fairly huge custom loop. I feel like that could run cooler. Mildly undervolted @ 2650 Mhz
With this settings, my reference Rx 6950 xt, hits 110° in junction temperature and throttles. My setting are 2500 mhz, +20% power, 1100 mv - 80° gpu, 90° junction in metro exodus 1440p ultra
@@M_K8710 that does seem quite warm. Do you have good airflow in your PC case? I'm curious what is your set up for case fans & what is cooling your CPU? I have the Sapphire Nitro+ 6950XT (non pure) version. I always like to hear what other 6950 XT owners are doing with their settings. Thank you in advance.
Used your exact settings and I've had brilliant performance so far, thanks! Ran into trouble with GTA V and Star Wars Squadron crashing for some reason, so I had to make default game profiles for them. Still need to test which settings actually effected them, but no problems in any other games, and a definite improvement in benchmarks. Great videos 🤘
@@PortableFreezerHuh? Download what? You copy the settings directly off this video. As for software it's the Adrenaline Driver for AMD 6950XT. Just hit alt R and it will pop up. Also you can get his settings in the linc in the video description
Hey man! After buying the exact same 6950 xt as you, I came across your channel. It has helped me a lot. Keep up the awesome work. Hope you reach the 100k club this year :). You earned yourself another sub
I joined Team Red recently with a XTX and I can almost certainly say that the absolute values you can enter in Adrenalin for Core-Frequency and Voltage (Advanced Control) still only get translated from the relative values of the "normal" control. Absolute Values get rounded up and down to those translated from the relative values. Basically similar to the Memory-Frequency that also only jumps in intervals of ~14Mhz.
Fantastic video, explained really thoroughly and not overly long! Helped me achieve very stable overclocks/undervolts on my XFX 6900XT Merc319, etc. Good stuff, thanks again. Keep the awesome content coming!
Which sets you achieve? On my 6900xt nitro+ from sapphire i put Min 2479 Max 2579 And 1150mV And 15% IS max power i Can have and personal fan curve with 100% at 80° and 80% at 70°
Hey bro been following your overclocking guides since my r5 1600. I now upgraded to r7 5800x3d + xfx speedster merc 319 rx6950xt. I followed your tutorial once again and will see the results hehe. I only increased the fan speed to 55 since I'm in a tropical country. Cheers bro! You are my AMD Jesus!
@@AncientGameplays oh my Im not sure if this is accurate but from almost 300w playing gtav its down to 89w to 100w while 350w to 150w and below in re3 remake with the same performance. Locked it at 144hz though since my monitor can only output that. I noticed it pumps out more watts when i unlock the framrate hehe. Im just using msi afterburner btw.
@@noobydoo3433 hey nooby, can you tell us exactly what options and numbers you did chose, I want to buy the same card next month with Starfield but want to save on energy cause the PC will probably run 24/7 :) I'm a little perplexed here that the Watt usage goes down for you but in 4:19 he pulls 'Power Limit' slider to the right. Isn't that the exact opposite we'd do? -.- What's the avg Watt usage for you now, 100-150W sounds like I don't even need another PSU then
@@busfahrer09 I heard the same from a friend, who also runs this card between 80-150 watts. You need to undervolt and in addition cap your fps at a fixed number or reduce the Power Limit to a certain gpu performance and power consumption, that you like.
Sounds definetely like a safety shut down of the psu, if undervolting the gpu solved the problem (for now). Upgrade your psu soon, before something melts down. Happend to me, but it didn't melt my gpu or mainboard, just because - It was high end components and i was lucky :)
Thanks again for the video on 6950XT I did my first Undervolt from your RX570 vid and I learnt from there and now I have 6950XT. Your Undervolting videos are excellent.
Thank you so much. Followed your video to the letter and things are running so smooth. Card is whisper quiet, temps are great and best of all, my wattage is down with my performance being absolutely perfect. You are a legend! Now if I can figure out why my smart access memory is not working lol.
You sir, are a lifesaver! I just got a new 6950 XT AMD Design, and i experienced random crashes/shutdowns while playing/starting games... i dont know why and how, but undervolting/overclocking somehow solved the problem! Was looking for a solution for over a week and was already really frustrated... Really appreciated! =)
Great video. I used this video as a guide to get more out of my msi 6950xt. I noticed the vram hit my performance alot when set to high. Took a while, but little by little I got the perfect overclock settings using this video as a guide.
thank you , graphics card runs well . i tested it in 3D Mark Time Spy before overclocking (18034 points) and after overclocking (18460 points) well done !
I know this is an older video but I learned a lot from it. I got a 6900xt reference a couple of months ago and had left it at stock, still fast but not what it could be. I just watched your video an hour ago & started tweaking the Adrenaline settings with your guidance. Performance uplift using UserBenchMark as a guide went from 71st percentile to 97th percentile. 2750min, 2850max 1100mV, memory default at max. Temps are 35 to 40c at idle and stay between 60 - 70c under load. I will tweak it more to see what the absolute max performance is, but I'm super psyched for the improvement so far.
What settings are you running now? I have the powercolor red devil 6900xt ultimate right now. Are your clocks stable? Your settings seem pretty high but I'm a novice when it comes to tuning so I would love to hear what settings you found to be stable. For now, I'm gonna use the values you put and test it out a bit.
@@gabrielthompson3853 Actually I did back off a little bit and landed at 2600min / 2700 max, 1110 mV. This has been stable in everything for hours on end. The previous settings worked well enough but was hit or miss depending on what I was using. Cheers.
Tip: On voltage, it is important to define frequency first and then decrease vontage progressively until it crashes. Than you add some margin to make your gaming stable. I'm saying it because voltage, as Fabio said, is offset, not absolute value. So, in my case (6800 xt) I have to run voltage @ 1020mV for 2444mhz, but 990mV for 2565mhz, which could sound counterintuitive if you are not thinking offset.
Thank you. I really appreciate your help. I just about to give up on the AMD graphic card. I just brought a Red Devil rx 6900 xt ultimate coming from a RTX 3080 10gb. With your setting help me out big time. I love the card now. Thanks again. 👍🏾
For those of us looking at the 6950XT but concerned about power draw can you discuss how much you can limit the power consumption whilst maintaining stability and relatively decent performance. As a virgin OC'er my 1st OC is going to be a UC in fact. I want to sacrifice some performance in favour of power efficiency; I thihk many people may look at the 6950XT price and think similarly. Thanks.
Mine is undervolted and overclocked big time and under max load I'm pulling 395 watts. If you have a 850 watt power supply or better you should be golden and have no need to give up performance.
@@kylejohnson6788 Thanks Kyle, mine is more of a money saving approach. My FR's are good enough. I thought I might just throttle it a little and save money. The info I've read said it was still decent even UV'd only slightly and far better on power. Not sure how it affects warranty though. There was a 1250 on sale for £20 more than an 850 so I thought sod it, go big!
Was having bsod of death, voltage and heat spikes with my xfx merc 319. This not only fixed all my issues but also improved my 1% lows by almost doubt in rdr2. Thank you so much for this awesome video.
You should test your overclocks with Port Royal, you will find that lower clocks sometimes will give you better performance. For example I can overclock my 6900 XT with core clock set at 2550Mhz-2650MHz but, when I reduce the clocks to 2450Mhz-2550Mhz with voltage set at 1050mV, I get much better performance. Could be the reason why (from your graphs) your overclocks without SAM enabled is not giving any extra performance. You actually got less performance in Assassins Creed as per your graphs.
@@AncientGameplays I totally agree about that but, the point I was trying to make to everyone is that, if you set your overclocks too high it will hurt your performance score significantly.🤓
@@shawndeo4399 - This is absolutely true. At a certain point, AMD just ignores what you set anyways so going higher that that point just means less performance as it goes into what is effectively 'safe mode', using more voltage, maxing power draw, and lowering consistent clocks.
@@midniteoyl8913 This happens because if you raise the frequencies too high the wall is the lack of power, I added another 40 watts with more power tools and now the higher the frequencies the more performance I get (2.8-2.9 GHz) on mia asus tuf 6950xt
Thank you again for the detailed help on this OC! Just upgraded from the RX 6700 XT to the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6950 XT Pure and had to see what you recommended for OC/UV in this series. Cheers!
I tried these settings and tested a few different values but couldn't really find one that kept my temps down, was stable, or kill my performance. What I ended up doing was setting the voltage control to -5, keeping stock clocks and voltage, and set a custom fan curve. It dropped my Timespy score from 19089 to 18498 but kept the delta T temps at or below 80c. I tested in Cyberpunk and averaged 83-95fps on ultra settings at 1440p. If you have any recommendations, I would welcome them. Cheers
@@SargentAlebeard La rx6950xt bajo carga suele usar 1120mv en stock, todo lo que este por encima de eso es overvoltage, intenta 2500 Min - 2580 Mhz Max y 1100mv deberia reducir 20w el consumo. Cada 10mv que reduzcas el voltaje por debajo de 1120 serán mas o menos 8 - 10w menos.
Found that on my 6950 XT AMD version, 2400-2500mhz at 1100mv doesnt crash, power draw between 230-280w depending on the games and never exceeding 66c with 60% fan speed. Pretty good 🙏
I have the same card. AMD reference 6950XT. I had to go back to 1120mv cause Diablo 2 Resurrection and Stalker Anomaly both crashed after 15-20 min at 1100mv but besides that we have the same settings. What is your Power tuning set to? Max?
I just used your settings for the RX 6950 XT reference card I have and very pleased with the results! I am using a new aggressive fan speed/temp F1:25/30, F2:30/50, F3:40/65, F4:55/80, F6:80/95. But in Quake Champions 1440p@165Hz Ultra except no bloom or ragdoll gore, getting lower temps and GPU Pwr readings in-game while monitoring metrics overlay. Thank you for the tips!
I have the Red Devil 6900xt and its a well designed card with terrible out of the box factory settings, I got a GPU Timespy score of 19000, the card was loud and hot. Few dozen test runs later - Undervolted to 1125 set the Min Max at 2375 & 2475 added 10% on the power slider and set the ram to +100(2100), also played with the fan curve adding more speed at lower temps and way less at higher temps. Ended up with a 21000 Timespy GPU score pulling around 275 watts and juntion temp was floating around 75C.
@@AncientGameplays Thank You took a bit of time to get it setup. I really wish AMD cards were closer to Nvidia on the Plug and Play side of things. I have a hard time recommending them because of it.
Ty for this settings, i got the MSI RX 6900 XT Gaming Z Trio and noticed the out of the box bad settings aswell. Thinking of undervolting the card because many says u will be gaining the same or better performance with much more less power. With ur settings, i tried only crysis 3 remastered yet. With RSR enabled from 2k to 4k i got around 65c to 70c, hotspot around 80c by 220watt. On stock the normal temperature was around 80c with hotspot of 110c and around 320 watt. I adjust the fan curve aswell. This is truly amazing. 100 watt less power and lowering 30c of hot spot temperatures. This was totally worth it. I can recommend the settings!
@@carciko1 slightly different, but I started here. 2450/2550 min/max frequency, 2100 vram, max power, undervolt to 1150. My setup is a 6900xt, but it's a custom loop so I try to push it.
Hi, well done tutorial video. Thank you :) I'm new to AMD gaming gear. Just got 6900 XT Asrock phantom gaming. Initially didn't want to overclock it but after i saw your video - tried OC/UV. Now it runs on: 2400-2500 MHz 1150mV VRAM 2110MHz (with default synchronization) Power limit maxed out. SAM enabled. Nice performance uplift in Vermintide 2 (only game I tested for hours now), temps in check. No crashes so far, so I believed it's pretty stable. Same settings, newer game: Darktide.: some glitches /artifacts(?) started to appear. Tiny flickering pointed-down-triangles around light sources; some other weird geometric light effects on environment textures. The longer I played the more it was intensified. I noticed VRAM clock's were constantly around 2100Mhz (but overall GPU usage rarely peaked around 98%. More often it was lower.) I'm fairly new to overclocking - Is it possible that VRAM clock alone was responsible for this?
@@AncientGameplays I don't intend to. FPS capped in-game at 60. Resolution 3360x1440. Later I'll check if stepping down from some video settings fix the issue. After all, Darktide recommended GPU for 'high' is rtx 4080 ^^
hah, i found this now: "The release notes for the 22.11.2 update for AMD software said "Texture flickering or artifacts may occur during Warhammer 40,000: Darktide™ gameplay." under 'Known Issues'. And then in 'Important Notes', "AMD is working with the game developers of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide™ to resolve issues with texture flickering and artifacts seen during gameplay.""
Hey there. I bought same GPU. I will try OC/UV and will tell you my results. Running it with a 5600x, 3200Mhz CL16. With just AMD Adrenalin OC feature, I get 21,400 (GPU only) score.
OMG Thanks so much for this guide! I was getting Apex Legends crashes after 20 to 30 minutes of playing and streaming it. It was very frustrating to lose the current gameplay and unexpectedly stopping the stream. I had Apex running on highest settings in 4k HDR with my custom overclocks for my Asus TUF 6900 XT + Ryzen 5950X. Thess custom overclocks worked on other games but failing on Apex. I needed custom overclocks as I stream and play on the same PC. Also, I'm doing resolution scaling/conversions and recording/instant-replays in Streamlabs at the same time, and also using Radeon Super Resolution to use the game in 1440p and scale it to 4k. SO, my setup is kind of complex when it comes to software components and their processes. Now, with your guidance, I can fully and freely play and stream at highest settings and stream with a very good quality on the output. Thanks so much man. You honestly gained my paid subscription in your channel.
@@AncientGameplays Yes, I am following up now with your "Best AMD Radeon Settings (2022)" video. Thanks again, and will keep looking forward to more awesome videos from your channels
I set a linear fan curve for my 6950 and it dropped the max temps by a little over 10° c. Now I can't wait to try the undervolt and check for even more of a difference.
1120 mV was somewhat stable for me, but once every few days when I play games that use 100% GPU, I get a blackscreen and the PC reboots. I boosted it up to 1125 and it's working fine now
Excellent video. I followed the settings exactly though on an xfx6950xt and green screened twice within 30 minutes. I guess I’ll have to play with the numbers a little more.
For me the vram tuning speed was the culprit every single time with that settting it green screened. Set fast timing but leave max mhz at 2300 or below and it will be fine. I thought it was the voltage setting but when i undervolt it just crashes it dont turn green screen. I have an asus tuf rx6950xt
just installed my new Sapphire 6950xt (up from a Gigabyte 6700xt Eagle) ... and came to my fav youtuber for anything AMD, thanks man!! In regards for fanspeed / noise... well back on Vega64 I had a ref model .. most of the time running at 100% ... It's safe to say I'm not bothered by noise.. or maybe I'm just already losing part of my hearing thanks to those days... 😂😅
That's a really good guide ! ⭐ To try the stability of the OC/UV what are the best tools/games ? There's some like OCCT, Furmark, etc but that's mainly for the GPU (and the driver limits the frequency when it detects them), not the VRam. (OCCT can do that but they say that it doesn't detect errors due to OC very well) Seems to be stable GPU @2649MHZ ; @1,115V ; VRam @2350MHz.
Great video. I have an XFX Speedster MERC 319 RX 6950 XP that I got for $622 and have water cooled. I was able to get my settings to the following: undervolt 1100, gpu clock 2700, gpu memory set to fast timing and 2420, and power set to max. Under load in time spy and Port Royal I'm seeing Max temperatures at the hot spot of 75° C. I was able to run cyberpunk and Hogwarts Legacy maxed out settings for hours on end. I think I may have hit silicone Lottery with this one.
Something not mentioned in the vid: the vram is ecc, so make sure to check the run to run performance since it will silently decrease before instability occurs
I tried m'y 6900xt nitro+ with min 2479 max 2579 - 1150mV and 2150 fast timing VRAM at moment seems toi work pretty well in all games lol and il playing too Star Citizen which isnt perfectly optimized and its stable. I think you made a good job hère! Now i have toi more compare to sée if i Can win more power
Thank you for your video, it's very interesting! 🙂👍 I'm thinking of buying one of the cards (6700Xt-6800-6900XT) and doing the same thing. what I'm looking for is to reduce noise and consumption. If I may, it would have been a good idea to put a table with the difference in consumption. 🤔🤭 Good continuation 😉
@@AncientGameplays Thank you for answering me. I'm sorry, my english is not very good but I don't understand well the board about "assassin's creed valhalla (16:30)". I think the numbers represent the fps. That's right ? Or do these figures speak of electricity consumption? I'm really bothered because I think that for less heating and consumption, I prefer to buy a big undervolted card. Considering the purchase price of a big card and the current price of energy, I want to be sure to make the right choice.
Yeah these are my numbers too. It's weird because I own the Sapphire Nitro + 6900 XT and, over two years later, the Sapphire Nitro 6950 XT and the two produce completely different results lol. I can set, in MorePowerTool, the 6900 XT to 330W TDP (GPU), and set the clocks in Radeon Settings to 2685MHZ and as low as 1050mv with maxed memory at 2150MHZ. On the 6950 XT side, I can set, in More Power Tool, the TDP (GPU) to 370W, and in Radeon Settings I can only go down to 1120mv. I cannot go down below that, even at the default clock speeds of something like 2500MHZ. I think I can at something odd like 1115mv @ 2500MHZ, but it isn't worth it. I may as well bump the voltage up to 1120mv and be able to go then up as high as 2700MHZ. So weird! I can go a little north of 2700MHZ on 1120mv, yet I can't go anywhere below 1120mv even at substantially lower clocks. To make it more weird, I can't beat my own 23K TimeSpy score on my 6950 XT, Best I can get is 22,392 graphics score, using the above 2700MHZ @ 1120mv as being my tried and true best all-around results...unless of course I buy a water block. On my 6900 XT, I can get little over 23K with 2685MHZ and 1060mv, but even if I put the voltages back to default 1.2v? I can't get the 6900 XT to go very far north of 2685MHZ (i.e. I crash at 2700 MHZ...unless it's a DX11 title.) So it's weird in that sense too. I have therefore deduced that even in light of all this weirdness (there being very little crossover between the two)? The only explanation there is, is that the 6950 XT was designed to be A.) On water B.) Overclocked. Because at default voltages I can get that sucker to run 2800MHZ, but it's not practical, on account of the 105c+ junction temps. Meaning, this explains why I see people saying they overvolt these 6950 XT and run them at about 3GHZ on water and the temps are fine.
Thank you for this video! I have a question regarding the fan limit. You mention temperatures of 70 degrees and I assume you are talking of the overall temperature since the junction temperatures on my card lands at around 95 for me while really pushing the card. Do you have any data on what your junction temperatures were under load with your reduced fan speed?
Thanks for this Fabio, I was really waiting for this one, if I download your 6950xt adrenalin profile, can I use it too for the 6900xt as well? And again, thank you for all this effort making this material, a hug from México
More fan less temps is by far better for the hardware. I have a good 5.1 200 watt Altec Lansing sound system hooked up to my PC and do not hear anything while gaming. High temps kill hardware.
Ive got an asrock phantom gaming 6950XT that i was using at its stock settings (its overclocked out of the box). At stock i was getting around 140fps in diablo 4 at 1440p ultra with over 300watts power draw and almost 100°c hotspot temp. After your tutorial i was able to fine tune it and diablo 4 now runs at 160fps and only 230watts with hotspot temp at 80°c. Keep in mind, i have a hyte y60 case so it was an impressive improvement
Same profile as the video with some minor tweaks. Power slider all the way up 2500mhz min 2600mhz max 2412mhz on the vram with fast timings 1100mV on the voltage, although I'm sure it can go lower. I was able to get 1080mV to work but I'd rather stay at 1100 to be safe.
Thanks, Having issues with latest AMD Software, Hope you can create a tutorial how to do the VRAM tuning via More Power Tools, also need advise how to edit Bios like MPT on older Radeon GPUs for 7900XTX, love to mess with values
I m using 6900XT Toxic air. If i use auto OC or Rage mode, it mostly averages at 2500Mhz. After trying out 10 iterations of clocks n voltage in cyberpunk benchmark. I started with your clock n voltage values and iterated upon them My settings are 2500mhz min, 2750mhz max voltage 1140mV or 1150mV Mem clock at 2150Mhz(max limit) and fast timings power limit +15%(maximum allowed on Radeon software) I was able to get game clock of 2690Mhz in Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark. Going to 2800Mhz game will simply crash. Will post more updates soon. But its result in fps is not that big , compared to the heat its putting out probably 10fps more in Raster mode and 5fps more in RT mode. Edit : Turned of fast timings, because it was giving stutters in gameplay, but them mem oc still works and core OC at 2680Mhz
Haven't overclocked with amds software and it seems to work a bit cleaner compared to MSI. So I thought I'd watch. I'm attempt in the future to overclock my red Devil 6950xt to the breaking point to participate in some of the world records. I set a unofficial world record for overclocking a 3060m which is funny as hell. I wanna see where I can bring this 6950
I prefer lower temperatures to silent but hot cards. The idea is that lower temperature make the boost clock a bit higher, but especially increase longevity of the card, since the heat stress it has to go through is much less.
As always, leave your doubts in the comment section, cheers!
I had to send back this card before comparing the Stock vs OC for this video, but I advise you look at the review I made of the 6950XT because I show everything you need to know there :D
ruclips.net/video/wUZkfuj8l6s/видео.html
3 degrees cooler but 10% less frames with these settings. I have 6950 XT red devil
i got ASrock 6950xt R5 7600x AM5 got real boost in wild hearts like 20-40 fps to become 120fps but noticed that the gpu utilizes 60-70% and cpu 70-80% what did i do wrong ?
#AncientGameplays Hey bro! maybe as a temporary solution (650w gold psu) could handle the system... until I can buy a suitable power supply? r5 5600 x + rx 6950 xt (at 1080p resolution) ??no oc system.
Amazing experience but I do not know with one to focus on GPU temp 70C and 90C with one is what idc, rx vega 56 shower me hbm temperatur but here I do not know if second one is vram or hotapot on core.
Thanks a loot, got me some hours to get 1120mV 20%power 2600-2800Mhz, 2280Mhz mem stable for me, vid help me where I should start with my overclock, at 70% GPU usage I hit 200-250W and timespy run goes 363W stable for hours, I did feel that fan on GPU was too slow was fan speed at 50% when temp was 70C and hot spot hit for a second 97C scared me so I am using 70% fan curve at 70C and now avg temp 66C in timespy run for 20 loop.
When I rise power target I feel that 1120mV jump to 1200mV some times to make it stable but works great.
When I set fans speed above 65% in my 6800xt, helps a lot with immersion while playing flying simulators.
😂💪
Same here undervolted and full power Fans = F16c Viper in Dcs sound ok‘ish + a bit of a Dicen in the background 😂 but either way I love my 6900xt :)
Lmfao

my 6950xt arrives today i cant wait to apply the over/under clock it worked great on my 6700xt. thanks again for another amazing video
Just upgraded from a rx 6700 xt yo a rx 6900 xt. Can't wait to overclock it with your guide once again. This guy is a legend everyone. Shows you all the steps and explains everything well.
This helped me so much, I have a merc 6950xt xfx, temps dropped about 15c under load and the performance boost was good, 2 hours into my game and no crashes so far, also my power consumption dropped drastically. Yes I did every step mentioned, thank you very much.
Glad I helped 💪💪
mind telling how much Watts your card pulls at max and maybe average in stock and undervolted? getting the same card in a few days. thanks
@@strgzr. With these setting’s barely hitting 150 watts temps always under 50c, i mainly play halo infinite which is a poorly optimized game, with stock settings it used to hit up to 220 watts with over 65c

Played Last Of Us Pt.1 for a pretty long time yesterday and no issues. Temps are about 5 to 10c lower, OC stable with your suggested settings, it uses about 30 to 50 watts less due to the undervolt, air coming out of my case is less hot = win
Great I helped!
Hey.
For the undervolt settings did you follow the exacts steps in this video or another video? :)
@@abzz9913 I did end up have some trouble using the settings from this video when I started playing other games.
In the end I have it set now 1160mv, clocks 2000-2400mhz, no VRAM tuning. I have the reference model which is clocked a bit lower compared to the AIB models.
Works great for me with these settings. But the general principle shown in the video applies, play around until it's stable ;)
@@withmygoodeyeclosed oh okay. Which games do you mainly play?
@@abzz9913 So I kinda hop around a lot lol.
But mostly single player action/adventure/horror games like Resident Evil (reboot and new games), Dead Space, Trepang2, Titanfall 2, modded New Vegas, Horizon Zero Dawn...
At the moment I'm finishing RE4 remake.
Will probably start playing Dying Light with a friend soon (I started the game years ago but never finished it).
One thing with this card i found curious is that the 6950xt seems (at least in my case) more dynamic than my 6900xt. I actually had almost mirror settings to what you showed here for one of my profiles so that was cool! Left stock fan profile on the 3 i tested. Just as an example - 6950xt Reference - Horizon Zero Dawn @ 1440p Ultra in Benchmark averages (SAM Enabled):
Stock (stock settings) = 164 FPS | edge temp 78c, junction 95c | Power Avg 284w | 1700rpm fans - fairly quiet
Undervolted OC 1 = 174fps (-10% power limit, 2500 min/ 2665 max@ 1090mv, 2400 fast timing, stock fan profile) edge temp 69c, junction 81c | Power Avg 255w | 1540rpm fans - very quiet
Undervolted OC 2 = 177fps (+20% power, 2500min/2600 max @ 1110mv, 2400 fast timing, stock fan profile) 177fps | edge temp 73c, junction 87c | Power avg 274w | 2000rpm fan - noticable but not bad, could have lowered the cap for a little higher temps
Let me know if you have any updates I will try your second option
@@Alex.UA6 so far only unstable in RDR2 for me - custom profile with stock power limit set for that game
Hi mate, for translation into GPU-Z, by edge temp you mean "GPU Temperature" and by junction you mean "GPU Temp (Hot Spot)? Thanks!
If so, I really shoud re-apply the thermal grease (planned tomorrow anyways, aswell as Thermal pads).
In let's say ARK, I got about 80°C GPU Temp, and 93-96°C for the Hotspot. And it's a Liquid Devil with a fairly huge custom loop.
I feel like that could run cooler. Mildly undervolted @ 2650 Mhz
With this settings, my reference Rx 6950 xt, hits 110° in junction temperature and throttles.
My setting are 2500 mhz, +20% power, 1100 mv - 80° gpu, 90° junction in metro exodus 1440p ultra
@@M_K8710 that does seem quite warm. Do you have good airflow in your PC case? I'm curious what is your set up for case fans & what is cooling your CPU? I have the
Sapphire Nitro+ 6950XT (non pure) version. I always like to hear what other 6950 XT owners are doing with their settings. Thank you in advance.
Used your exact settings and I've had brilliant performance so far, thanks! Ran into trouble with GTA V and Star Wars Squadron crashing for some reason, so I had to make default game profiles for them. Still need to test which settings actually effected them, but no problems in any other games, and a definite improvement in benchmarks. Great videos 🤘

Hey man! After buying the exact same 6950 xt as you, I came across your channel. It has helped me a lot. Keep up the awesome work. Hope you reach the 100k club this year :). You earned yourself another sub
Glad I could help!
I joined Team Red recently with a XTX and I can almost certainly say that the absolute values you can enter in Adrenalin for Core-Frequency and Voltage (Advanced Control) still only get translated from the relative values of the "normal" control. Absolute Values get rounded up and down to those translated from the relative values. Basically similar to the Memory-Frequency that also only jumps in intervals of ~14Mhz.
Fantastic video, explained really thoroughly and not overly long! Helped me achieve very stable overclocks/undervolts on my XFX 6900XT Merc319, etc. Good stuff, thanks again. Keep the awesome content coming!

@@noobydoo3433 hey nooby, can you tell us exactly what options and numbers you did chose, I want to buy the same card next month with Starfield but want to save on energy cause the PC will probably run 24/7 :)
I'm a little perplexed here that the Watt usage goes down for you but in 4:19 he pulls 'Power Limit' slider to the right. Isn't that the exact opposite we'd do? -.-
What's the avg Watt usage for you now, 100-150W sounds like I don't even need another PSU then
@@busfahrer09 I heard the same from a friend, who also runs this card between 80-150 watts. You need to undervolt and in addition cap your fps at a fixed number or reduce the Power Limit to a certain gpu performance and power consumption, that you like.
Thanks man, was having my pc shut down randomly and your guide easily helped me undervolt my 6950 XT - No more random shutdowns!
The issue may be your psu man, time to upgrade
Sounds definetely like a safety shut down of the psu, if undervolting the gpu solved the problem (for now). Upgrade your psu soon, before something melts down. Happend to me, but it didn't melt my gpu or mainboard, just because - It was high end components and i was lucky :)
Thanks again for the video on 6950XT I did my first Undervolt from your RX570 vid and I learnt from there and now I have 6950XT. Your Undervolting videos are excellent.
Glad I could help!

Thank you 💪💪
Thank you so much. Followed your video to the letter and things are running so smooth. Card is whisper quiet, temps are great and best of all, my wattage is down with my performance being absolutely perfect. You are a legend! Now if I can figure out why my smart access memory is not working lol.
You sir, are a lifesaver! I just got a new 6950 XT AMD Design, and i experienced random crashes/shutdowns while playing/starting games... i dont know why and how, but undervolting/overclocking somehow solved the problem! Was looking for a solution for over a week and was already really frustrated... Really appreciated! =)
Great to hear! Maybe you were hitting the power roof or your PSU couldnt handle the power peaks, which were fixed with UV 💪💪
If your power supply is not big enough that can explain you crash in game too

Great video. I used this video as a guide to get more out of my msi 6950xt. I noticed the vram hit my performance alot when set to high. Took a while, but little by little I got the perfect overclock settings using this video as a guide.
Thats because of vram errors
Thanks for the vid! I was able to overclock my GPU and get Darktide running at a smooth 60 fps even during the most intensive hordes.
thank you so much
just got a 6950xt, this helped me reduce power consumption and fan noise a lot

Thanks a lot for describing for real.You are amazing.İt helps a lot with my 6900XT SE.
I know this is an older video but I learned a lot from it. I got a 6900xt reference a couple of months ago and had left it at stock, still fast but not what it could be. I just watched your video an hour ago & started tweaking the Adrenaline settings with your guidance. Performance uplift using UserBenchMark as a guide went from 71st percentile to 97th percentile. 2750min, 2850max 1100mV, memory default at max. Temps are 35 to 40c at idle and stay between 60 - 70c under load. I will tweak it more to see what the absolute max performance is, but I'm super psyched for the improvement so far.
What settings are you running now? I have the powercolor red devil 6900xt ultimate right now. Are your clocks stable? Your settings seem pretty high but I'm a novice when it comes to tuning so I would love to hear what settings you found to be stable. For now, I'm gonna use the values you put and test it out a bit.
@@gabrielthompson3853 Actually I did back off a little bit and landed at 2600min / 2700 max, 1110 mV. This has been stable in everything for hours on end. The previous settings worked well enough but was hit or miss depending on what I was using. Cheers.
@@HardlyCoping what’s your VRAM set to?
@@gabrielthompson3853 Default timing at 2150 MHz, slider all the way to max.
@@HardlyCopingGreat results! An average of +20% performance is considered: You won the silicon lottery! :D
Tip: On voltage, it is important to define frequency first and then decrease vontage progressively until it crashes. Than you add some margin to make your gaming stable. I'm saying it because voltage, as Fabio said, is offset, not absolute value. So, in my case (6800 xt) I have to run voltage @ 1020mV for 2444mhz, but 990mV for 2565mhz, which could sound counterintuitive if you are not thinking offset.

Thanks, um abraço haha
For those of us looking at the 6950XT but concerned about power draw can you discuss how much you can limit the power consumption whilst maintaining stability and relatively decent performance. As a virgin OC'er my 1st OC is going to be a UC in fact. I want to sacrifice some performance in favour of power efficiency; I thihk many people may look at the 6950XT price and think similarly. Thanks.
Mine is undervolted and overclocked big time and under max load I'm pulling 395 watts. If you have a 850 watt power supply or better you should be golden and have no need to give up performance.
@@kylejohnson6788 Thanks Kyle, mine is more of a money saving approach. My FR's are good enough. I thought I might just throttle it a little and save money. The info I've read said it was still decent even UV'd only slightly and far better on power. Not sure how it affects warranty though. There was a 1250 on sale for £20 more than an 850 so I thought sod it, go big!

Thank you :D
Just got a 6950XT and found out this amazing video
You should test your overclocks with Port Royal, you will find that lower clocks sometimes will give you better performance. For example I can overclock my 6900 XT with core clock set at 2550Mhz-2650MHz but, when I reduce the clocks to 2450Mhz-2550Mhz with voltage set at 1050mV, I get much better performance. Could be the reason why (from your graphs) your overclocks without SAM enabled is not giving any extra performance. You actually got less performance in Assassins Creed as per your graphs.
I believe it is due to the game and drivers, as most games did benefit from OC/UV. From my experience it improves with time
@@AncientGameplays I totally agree about that but, the point I was trying to make to everyone is that, if you set your overclocks too high it will hurt your performance score significantly.🤓
Thanks for this.
@@shawndeo4399 - This is absolutely true. At a certain point, AMD just ignores what you set anyways so going higher that that point just means less performance as it goes into what is effectively 'safe mode', using more voltage, maxing power draw, and lowering consistent clocks.
@@midniteoyl8913 This happens because if you raise the frequencies too high the wall is the lack of power, I added another 40 watts with more power tools and now the higher the frequencies the more performance I get (2.8-2.9 GHz) on mia asus tuf 6950xt
Great guide and suggestions! These settings worked perfectly for me! Also, I have an ASRock Phantom Gaming 6950XT!
Thank you again for the detailed help on this OC! Just upgraded from the RX 6700 XT to the Sapphire Nitro+ RX 6950 XT Pure and had to see what you recommended for OC/UV in this series. Cheers!
You're very welcome. Cheers
I tried these settings and tested a few different values but couldn't really find one that kept my temps down, was stable, or kill my performance. What I ended up doing was setting the voltage control to -5, keeping stock clocks and voltage, and set a custom fan curve. It dropped my Timespy score from 19089 to 18498 but kept the delta T temps at or below 80c. I tested in Cyberpunk and averaged 83-95fps on ultra settings at 1440p.
If you have any recommendations, I would welcome them. Cheers
@@SargentAlebeard La rx6950xt bajo carga suele usar 1120mv en stock, todo lo que este por encima de eso es overvoltage, intenta 2500 Min - 2580 Mhz Max y 1100mv deberia reducir 20w el consumo. Cada 10mv que reduzcas el voltaje por debajo de 1120 serán mas o menos 8 - 10w menos.

Great to hear
I have the Red Devil 6900xt and its a well designed card with terrible out of the box factory settings, I got a GPU Timespy score of 19000, the card was loud and hot. Few dozen test runs later - Undervolted to 1125 set the Min Max at 2375 & 2475 added 10% on the power slider and set the ram to +100(2100), also played with the fan curve adding more speed at lower temps and way less at higher temps. Ended up with a 21000 Timespy GPU score pulling around 275 watts and juntion temp was floating around 75C.
Good values
@@AncientGameplays Thank You took a bit of time to get it setup. I really wish AMD cards were closer to Nvidia on the Plug and Play side of things. I have a hard time recommending them because of it.
Ty for this settings, i got the MSI RX 6900 XT Gaming Z Trio and noticed the out of the box bad settings aswell. Thinking of undervolting the card because many says u will be gaining the same or better performance with much more less power.
With ur settings, i tried only crysis 3 remastered yet. With RSR enabled from 2k to 4k i got around 65c to 70c, hotspot around 80c by 220watt. On stock the normal temperature was around 80c with hotspot of 110c and around 320 watt. I adjust the fan curve aswell.
This is truly amazing. 100 watt less power and lowering 30c of hot spot temperatures. This was totally worth it. I can recommend the settings!

Hi,
well done tutorial video. Thank you :)
I'm new to AMD gaming gear.
Just got 6900 XT Asrock phantom gaming. Initially didn't want to overclock it but after i saw your video - tried OC/UV.
Now it runs on:
2400-2500 MHz
1150mV
VRAM 2110MHz (with default synchronization)
Power limit maxed out.
SAM enabled.
Nice performance uplift in Vermintide 2 (only game I tested for hours now), temps in check.
No crashes so far, so I believed it's pretty stable.
Same settings, newer game: Darktide.: some glitches /artifacts(?) started to appear. Tiny flickering pointed-down-triangles around light sources; some other weird geometric light effects on environment textures. The longer I played the more it was intensified. I noticed VRAM clock's were constantly around 2100Mhz (but overall GPU usage rarely peaked around 98%. More often it was lower.)
I'm fairly new to overclocking - Is it possible that VRAM clock alone was responsible for this?
It is just that your CPU and RAM can't push more frames, don't sweat it
@@AncientGameplays I don't intend to. FPS capped in-game at 60. Resolution 3360x1440. Later I'll check if stepping down from some video settings fix the issue. After all, Darktide recommended GPU for 'high' is rtx 4080 ^^
hah, i found this now: "The release notes for the 22.11.2 update for AMD software said "Texture flickering or artifacts may occur during Warhammer 40,000: Darktide™ gameplay." under 'Known Issues'. And then in 'Important Notes', "AMD is working with the game developers of Warhammer 40,000: Darktide™ to resolve issues with texture flickering and artifacts seen during gameplay.""
Hey there. I bought same GPU. I will try OC/UV and will tell you my results. Running it with a 5600x, 3200Mhz CL16. With just AMD Adrenalin OC feature, I get 21,400 (GPU only) score.
OMG Thanks so much for this guide! I was getting Apex Legends crashes after 20 to 30 minutes of playing and streaming it. It was very frustrating to lose the current gameplay and unexpectedly stopping the stream. I had Apex running on highest settings in 4k HDR with my custom overclocks for my Asus TUF 6900 XT + Ryzen 5950X. Thess custom overclocks worked on other games but failing on Apex. I needed custom overclocks as I stream and play on the same PC. Also, I'm doing resolution scaling/conversions and recording/instant-replays in Streamlabs at the same time, and also using Radeon Super Resolution to use the game in 1440p and scale it to 4k. SO, my setup is kind of complex when it comes to software components and their processes. Now, with your guidance, I can fully and freely play and stream at highest settings and stream with a very good quality on the output. Thanks so much man.

Excellent video. I followed the settings exactly though on an xfx6950xt and green screened twice within 30 minutes. I guess I’ll have to play with the numbers a little more.
For me the vram tuning speed was the culprit every single time with that settting it green screened. Set fast timing but leave max mhz at 2300 or below and it will be fine. I thought it was the voltage setting but when i undervolt it just crashes it dont turn green screen. I have an asus tuf rx6950xt
lol.i love this channel because of the intro meme
Always a reason to laugh haja
Thank you!!!
Thank you for this video, really appreciate it!
just installed my new Sapphire 6950xt (up from a Gigabyte 6700xt Eagle) ... and came to my fav youtuber for anything AMD, thanks man!!
In regards for fanspeed / noise... well back on Vega64 I had a ref model .. most of the time running at 100% ... It's safe to say I'm not bothered by noise.. or maybe I'm just already losing part of my hearing thanks to those days... 😂😅
My 6900 XT was already at 2550Mhz by default, so I went with 2600 min and 2700 max, and see how it goes.. 😊
Not going to lie he is a gega chad
That's a really good guide ! ⭐
To try the stability of the OC/UV what are the best tools/games ? There's some like OCCT, Furmark, etc but that's mainly for the GPU (and the driver limits the frequency when it detects them), not the VRam. (OCCT can do that but they say that it doesn't detect errors due to OC very well)
Seems to be stable GPU @2649MHZ ; @1,115V ; VRam @2350MHz.
Great video. I have an XFX Speedster MERC 319 RX 6950 XP that I got for $622 and have water cooled. I was able to get my settings to the following: undervolt 1100, gpu clock 2700, gpu memory set to fast timing and 2420, and power set to max. Under load in time spy and Port Royal I'm seeing Max temperatures at the hot spot of 75° C. I was able to run cyberpunk and Hogwarts Legacy maxed out settings for hours on end. I think I may have hit silicone Lottery with this one.
Something not mentioned in the vid: the vram is ecc, so make sure to check the run to run performance since it will silently decrease before instability occurs
I tried m'y 6900xt nitro+ with min 2479 max 2579 - 1150mV and 2150 fast timing VRAM at moment seems toi work pretty well in all games lol and il playing too Star Citizen which isnt perfectly optimized and its stable. I think you made a good job hère! Now i have toi more compare to sée if i Can win more power
Glad to hear 💪
Gracias Fabio .. I just put those values and from 83 temps to 70 temps on ITX case.... rx6950xt saphire nitro
great!
Thank you for your video, it's very interesting! 🙂👍
I'm thinking of buying one of the cards (6700Xt-6800-6900XT) and doing the same thing.
what I'm looking for is to reduce noise and consumption.
If I may, it would have been a good idea to put a table with the difference in consumption. 🤔🤭
Good continuation 😉
You mean a chart with different power draws? Well, I did the side by side comparison :D
@@AncientGameplays Thank you for answering me.
I'm sorry, my english is not very good but I don't understand well the board about "assassin's creed valhalla (16:30)".
I think the numbers represent the fps.
That's right ? Or do these figures speak of electricity consumption?
I'm really bothered because I think that for less heating and consumption, I prefer to buy a big undervolted card.
Considering the purchase price of a big card and the current price of energy, I want to be sure to make the right choice.
Yeah these are my numbers too. It's weird because I own the Sapphire Nitro + 6900 XT and, over two years later, the Sapphire Nitro 6950 XT and the two produce completely different results lol. I can set, in MorePowerTool, the 6900 XT to 330W TDP (GPU), and set the clocks in Radeon Settings to 2685MHZ and as low as 1050mv with maxed memory at 2150MHZ.
On the 6950 XT side, I can set, in More Power Tool, the TDP (GPU) to 370W, and in Radeon Settings I can only go down to 1120mv. I cannot go down below that, even at the default clock speeds of something like 2500MHZ. I think I can at something odd like 1115mv @ 2500MHZ, but it isn't worth it. I may as well bump the voltage up to 1120mv and be able to go then up as high as 2700MHZ. So weird! I can go a little north of 2700MHZ on 1120mv, yet I can't go anywhere below 1120mv even at substantially lower clocks.
To make it more weird, I can't beat my own 23K TimeSpy score on my 6950 XT, Best I can get is 22,392 graphics score, using the above 2700MHZ @ 1120mv as being my tried and true best all-around results...unless of course I buy a water block.
On my 6900 XT, I can get little over 23K with 2685MHZ and 1060mv, but even if I put the voltages back to default 1.2v? I can't get the 6900 XT to go very far north of 2685MHZ (i.e. I crash at 2700 MHZ...unless it's a DX11 title.) So it's weird in that sense too.
I have therefore deduced that even in light of all this weirdness (there being very little crossover between the two)? The only explanation there is, is that the 6950 XT was designed to be A.) On water B.) Overclocked. Because at default voltages I can get that sucker to run 2800MHZ, but it's not practical, on account of the 105c+ junction temps. Meaning, this explains why I see people saying they overvolt these 6950 XT and run them at about 3GHZ on water and the temps are fine.
Thank you for this video! I have a question regarding the fan limit. You mention temperatures of 70 degrees and I assume you are talking of the overall temperature since the junction temperatures on my card lands at around 95 for me while really pushing the card. Do you have any data on what your junction temperatures were under load with your reduced fan speed?
Hey man, junction temps are 95C are perfectly fine and nothing to worry about. Cheers
Thanks for this Fabio, I was really waiting for this one, if I download your 6950xt adrenalin profile, can I use it too for the 6900xt as well? And again, thank you for all this effort making this material, a hug from México
Hey man, for the 6900xt you need to make one for you
@@AncientGameplays :(
Thankful to my lord and savior for these OC settings 🙌🏽
More fan less temps is by far better for the hardware. I have a good 5.1 200 watt Altec Lansing sound system hooked up to my PC and do not hear anything while gaming. High temps kill hardware.
Thanks for the great guide! I would also like to know what programs you tested the system for stability.
test in gaming, it is better
With the OC+UV, what is the power draw of the card? Plus thanks for the video! You really made me buy the rx 6950 xt (red devil one too!)
Hey man, it can be seen in the side by side comparisons
@@AncientGameplaysin this video or on another video? I can't seen to find it
Ive got an asrock phantom gaming 6950XT that i was using at its stock settings (its overclocked out of the box). At stock i was getting around 140fps in diablo 4 at 1440p ultra with over 300watts power draw and almost 100°c hotspot temp. After your tutorial i was able to fine tune it and diablo 4 now runs at 160fps and only 230watts with hotspot temp at 80°c. Keep in mind, i have a hyte y60 case so it was an impressive improvement
Hi, I have the same card. What are your settings, mind sharing them with me?
Same profile as the video with some minor tweaks.
Power slider all the way up
2500mhz min
2600mhz max
2412mhz on the vram with fast timings
1100mV on the voltage, although I'm sure it can go lower. I was able to get 1080mV to work but I'd rather stay at 1100 to be safe.
@@gavinsanchez7028 Thanks! I have been playing on 1080mV for 2 weeks now and had no issues yet.
ty very much
Thanks, Having issues with latest AMD Software, Hope you can create a tutorial how to do the VRAM tuning via More Power Tools, also need advise how to edit Bios like MPT on older Radeon GPUs for 7900XTX, love to mess with values
shoutout to the Gigachad
Thx alot. Your tutorials are the best! Do you know anything about direct storage in amd drivers? are they already included in the new version?
Great video nice to know we have the same card I will definitely try to settings today to see if it helps with some of the stutters I’m experiencing
Go on 💪💪
THANK U
You're welcome
I m using 6900XT Toxic air.
If i use auto OC or Rage mode, it mostly averages at 2500Mhz.
After trying out 10 iterations of clocks n voltage in cyberpunk benchmark.
I started with your clock n voltage values and iterated upon them
My settings are 2500mhz min, 2750mhz max
voltage 1140mV or 1150mV
Mem clock at 2150Mhz(max limit) and fast timings
power limit +15%(maximum allowed on Radeon software)
I was able to get game clock of 2690Mhz in Cyberpunk 2077 benchmark.
Going to 2800Mhz game will simply crash.
Will post more updates soon.
But its result in fps is not that big , compared to the heat its putting out
probably 10fps more in Raster mode and 5fps more in RT mode.
Edit : Turned of fast timings, because it was giving stutters in gameplay, but them mem oc still works and core OC at 2680Mhz
Haven't overclocked with amds software and it seems to work a bit cleaner compared to MSI. So I thought I'd watch. I'm attempt in the future to overclock my red Devil 6950xt to the breaking point to participate in some of the world records. I set a unofficial world record for overclocking a 3060m which is funny as hell. I wanna see where I can bring this 6950
I prefer lower temperatures to silent but hot cards. The idea is that lower temperature make the boost clock a bit higher, but especially increase longevity of the card, since the heat stress it has to go through is much less.
Oh wow, hearting comments on year old videos. That's dedication!
