Nice video. I learned about undervolting my RX 6800 XT when I watched your video some time back. Anyway, I feel there is little need to OC the GPU clock speed since the improvement is very small. The OC of the VRAM may be more beneficial when going for higher resolution gaming. So I would just stick to undervolting the RX 6600 XT if I were you. At least the card should run a lot cooler.
With my only worry being temps, only changing fan tuning and power tuning would make even more of a difference than his performance comparisons correct?
Due to Bitcoin, I finally bought a 6600xt in stock after 2 years. By watching this video translated, I was able to understand a lot about undervolting and improved performance. thank you.
Awesome video! Just got my Gigabyte 6600XT Eagle and it seems to be a good sample. It's running at 2800 (min) / 2900 (max) frequency at just 1040mV. So far so good!
I just OC'd my 5600x to 4850 (very stable) with undervolt per core at minus and got incredibly lucky with 6600xt at 2900mhz Max and 2800Mhz min at 1120mv (tested in Unigine, 3dmark and AMD stable) with the memory at 2250Mhz (2264) and enabled Smart Access Memory, and all of that on my good old X370 Gaming 5 MOBO :D
Nice bro. I just completed my rx 6600 xt ryzen 5 5600x build. Quickly tested userbenchmark test and it was better than 71% other setups with same parts.
Thanks, this is a great guide for my AMD Sapphire Nitro+ 6600XT! Testing my VRAM OC at 2112Mhz on Fast Timings... other settings same as yours. Will see how it goes! :)
Works great, thank you very much. Mine is PowerColor Red Devil variant, it can get as low as 1060 mV (undervolt only), and managed to stay stable with your OC values at 1090 mV. Too bad I can't get my memory clock exactly like yours, but it's fine since mine's only 10 MHz lower (2204 MHz).
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions with actual settings. Some RUclipsrs clickbait us with "settings" but don't really teach us how. Your 6600xt settings instantly got me to 31 Mh/s NiceHash, and 33 with some tweaking using the methods you describe. I have the PowerColor Hellhound. I hit that like button for you sir!
Overclocked my xfx 6600xt swift 210 to 2700 core, 2300 memory and it actually beat my RTX 2080's graphics score in fire strike!, My 6600xt is paired with a 10850k and 2080 is paired with a 5950x
Great detailed video! Settings worked for me immediately on my 6600s. Performance on NiceHash jumped from 28 MH/s to 31 MH/s in real time. And now the 6600s are running 15 degrees C cooler.
It most definitely must be a bug. If your mV caps out at 1070 and you reduce clock speeds on par with that, it will bug out and crash the entire driver regardless of the operation. I do notice when stressing out the gpu and turning down the clocks and voltage slowly, it slightly artifacts at 94% voltage or 1070, which means that the driver must have a built in protection to auto-reset the gpu when it detects slight artifacting? At 95% it's fine for the most part because the core clocks can't hit high enough on the most simplest stress test on furmark lol. GPU Hotspot temps of ~80+ celsius when on stock settings and reducing voltage will drastically reduce the hotspot temps to like 75-76 and such...
Thanks. I'm using a single fan 6600 XT. The GPU could handle a 2600mhz boost but it was a bit too much for the small heatsink. Dialing down to 2500mhz makes the boost clock more stable and a bit cooler. Managed to undervolt it to 1070mV. I think it could go even lower but benchmarking for stability is a bit of pain, so I'll just leave it there.
@@jerowe_5896 i just leave it on default with latest driver. they tend to prioritize low noise over everything else. i stopped bothering with undervolt too because it makes the fan spins much faster and noisier.
this has made a huge difference in my rx 6700 xt by undervoiting. by card is a sapphire pulse and i must say at stock voltage with overclock of 2.7 as min and 2.8 as max wasnt worth it. so i ended up with a undervoit of 1100mv's with clock speeds of 2.6ghz as min and 2.7ghz as maximum and boy this made my fans used to go over 3000rpm. now their running 850rpm up to 1200rpm if the card got warm. thanks so much anicent gameplay for showing this. it just shows that overclocking and undervoiting is a good idea because if the tempture is low and amps and low and voltage is low it will allow the gpu to boost alot more. makes sense just like on ryzen.
@@AncientGameplays yea I agree my junction temp was hitting about 110c and I have changed the thermal paste several times without thinking of undervoiting and by doing so and lowering the core clock by a 100mhz It's worth it.
Do the settings and changes applied in the Radeon software take precedence over any changes made in other programs such as MSI Afterburner? And if so do we need to have the Radeon Software open in the background or in the system tray in order for these changes to have an effect?
Hey brother, thank you so much for this tutorial and very well explained. I got my 6600 xt today. It would be nice if you could show us a tutorial on how to overclock the Ryzen cpu with this graphics card. I have a Ryzen 5 5600x.
@@AncientGameplays yea sorry it's been along time I'm planning on building a new desktop motherboards seem cheap rn cous and gpus expensive but I'ma take advantage of it and grab the msi unifi a less rgb like motherboard similar to the godlike which I can't get in canada where I am rn for soem reason but the unit seems to be on on par a 570 board and has all the nice and features and phases for overclocking a prem board for jsut alow price for 200 last time I seen it for the older version I don't know how many years ago it was nearly 600 pr se shit big price drop but I'm going with a 6700 xt or 6600xt with a ryzen 7 or 5 5600x or xt but for a little but of new arch and few more beefed up ponys is it really worth the almsot hundred bucks more like it should blow most gaming rigs out fo the water while staying relatively cheap for a high end ish build like I got everything wrote down for just under a thousand so far I think it should be abel to demolish most games on max settings 3verythign cranked ect and with a good board I can get some quality ram for it and oc to that to plus I want tonget a real beefy power supply for future upgrades since the route I'm going is to secure the future iv been living off my ps4 as a pc and a an old laptop that can't even run roblox lmfao so over all graphics and proformence wise should be leaps and bounds also what do you think of msi afterburner would it open up more tuning options
Sorry, what meant to say with my last comment was that I a was a little bit tired to figure out what was wrong with the overclock, I'm trying again now (English is not my first language). Anyway, thanks for your video! Helped me a lot
Thank you for this video. I got a powercolor rx 6600 xt red devil today and I got way better performance on the core with 1100mv and the memory , I was only able to get it to 2180mhz . I got 5 more fps in rdr2 at 1440p almost ultra . From 52fps average to 57fps average. Didn't test any other game cause I didn't test , so yeah , thanks ;) Edit : Now I've been playing rdr2 for like 2 and a half hours and it crashed because of the memory , so I'd going to 2050 mhz will be enough for it to be stable
Yap , I did test with and without fast timings , without it i would get like 20mhz+ on memory , but still get 2fps minus . So its worth keeping on. You think I should return it and get another model? Or the same one ?
Awesome! Like always, your videos are the best. I have AMD Radeon XFX SWFT 210 RX 6600XT and my card work best like your settings in this video. Playing RDR2 on 1080p ultra setings ray tracing on and never, never go under 55fps(night in town) average is 70-75fps, with OC like u said in the video...gained aprox 8fps. in future I will replace my monitor for 1440p and i thing will be playable as well :D
i've got the exact same card. I managed to get it stable at 1040 mV. But the card's junction temps still hovers in the 90s when playing Star Wars Fallen Order. Fan speed is set to constant 100%. Am I doing something wrong here?
I've been tinkering with overclock/undervolt for a few days. I set up my 6600xt according to your recommended values. Then i opened up a game. I increased the voltage a bit because i saw some weird stuttering. Tested again. Compared between stock and overclocked and got a few more fps in forza motorsport in both averages and 1 % lows. Today i was just watching something on amazon. And then suddenly i got a black screen. After rebooting the pc i got a notification from the AMD software that the tunning settings were reverted to default due to instability. How come i never got a black screen during gameplay for more than 10 minutes but i got blackscreen while watching a video stream? And this happened like 3 times already. I even tried using the stress test built-in feature in the AMD software. Ran it for 5 minutes. No black screen, nothing. But then im watching amazon prime with a few browser tabs open, and suddenly i get a blackscreen? Surely the stress test was more intensive than that, right? Could it be that my gpu dual bios mode is set to quiet, instead of OC ? I did raise the power limits to 20 % in the software just like you said. Anyway.. Should i switch to OC mode on the gpu and then try again? I'm pretty sure i have enough power from my power supply.. ( 700W evga psu). Hopefully my power supply didn't get bust or something. Might report more to this comment if i find a solution or anything changes.
Thank you for this video I did not realize how much performance I would get out of this. My card is a beast holy hell I am going to get a 1440p high refresh rate monitor now. Thank you again
Every time i start my pc, the Zero RPM re-enables itself for some reason and can't seem to find a fix. Annoying to have 57c gpu temp on idle instead of 39c with Zero RPM disabled. Have you heard about this issue?
These cards uses the same votage for GPU Core and for Memory power controller... Lowest voltage depends not only from Core but from memory controller too :(
@@AncientGameplays There are some limit in frequency, when you reach like 2600mhz, all voltages are ignored and card works with stock voltage 😔... Only GPU-Z shows right voltage at the moment..need to test and find right MHz's 🤮
A couple of doubts... On every check of stability I have to run games at its max graphics quality to see if it crashes or not? Or just with the VRAM check ? I use to play CSGO so, I don't usually play at highest qualities
I think I will do the undervolt, mabye a bit more if possible than in video and give memory a little boost and fast timings. It's already a really fast card for 1080p.
When i get my first card 5600 xt your video was the best of the best help me a lot now i just got a gigabyte 6600xt oc pro 3 fan and i fell like i need advice any other advice i will appreciate it
i used these setting and put them against the auto overclock feature in the software, and the auto overclock got 30 fps more in furmark donut. I singled out each of the steps one-by-one, and I found that the worst offender was setting the minimum gpu clock 100mhz lower than the max clock. If you omit that step, everything else seems fine.
Hi ! For the 6600XT, I don't OC it because I have a 22 inch screen 1080p 60Hz so I just want to have the better efficiency ! Just the fact to block the GPU at 60fps made a huge difference but with UV/UC is more efficient and I love that ! Consume less, temp under 60-65°C, less noise ... just perfect !
@@AncientGameplays Awesome, thank you. One more question and sorry to bother you, do you recommend OC/UV this GPU if i play in 1080 ay 60fps? Can this short the lifespan of my GPU?
I'm solve the problem - I had 1660 Super nVidia with instaled MSI Afterburner, so afterb. on launch win10 was made a conflict with radeon adrenalin.. just uninstall all nVidia drivers with afterburner and OC radeon work and load fine.. it's a conflict between two army 👍
I got really bizarre results w/ my 6600 XT... The more I undervolt (with same clock and RAM settings).. the more the FPS increases... until it hits a point where it crashes. I am currently stable at 2625/2725, 2125RAM and 990MV?

Hi. Do you maybe know why is my tuning setup resets every time I turn on/off PC. And if you do, can you help me fix that issue? Thanks and keep up with great videos!
awesome guide, but whenever i set my pc to sleep mode drivers crash and reset. found out its not related to my settings. have you experienced this as well?
Hey hey, the "traditional" Nvidia/Intel combo has died since Ryzen was released, and 5000 and mostly 6000 series made a good comeback for AMD in terms of GPUs as well. Still, the main reason is AMD sends hardware, and Intel and NVIDIA don't even care...
Is this a driver bug like the RX 5700 XT launch? Purposely reduce your core clock to 70% and your core voltage to 90%, and watch it crash when testing furmark? You can't purposely reduce the voltage in half while cutting the core clocks in half, say to test for stability or driver bugs? RX 6600 XT Sapphire Nitro+... I got it at Canada's Computer for 711.89 CAD (total), because it's +100 USD over MSRP from the current pricing of 629.99 (subtotal) on the site. Canadian prices are much higher due to tariffs and import fees. But this was nothing compared to AIB Vega cards when they launched. I am not sure if the GDDR6 are overheating too soon though.
Something very interessting for you: My MSI 6600XT Gaming X has in Firestrick, Timespy and Port Royal the same score if i compare Fast and Standard Timings on VRAM 2162Mhz. It is always about 5 Points more or less the same. My card has Samsung VRAM like most of the other 6600XT. Could you compare that with your card? Because if behavior is the same on other cards, than fast Timings is useless for the 6600XT. Than it would be better not to change it from default, for stability reasons.... if you get no benefit...
@@AncientGameplays Yes, i was wondering, too. And today it is a different picture. 2162Mhz fast and normal timings is ca 2% difference in 3D Mark scores at todays tests. Must have been something wrong with my 3D Mark and it was fixed after reboot. Can't reach 2200Mhz with fast timing. Games will freeze after some hours of playing. I thing 2140 Mhz (2128Mhz without offset) is the best i can do with my card. Other owners of 6600xt cards report around 2150 Mhz (2138 Mhz) is stable for them after intensive playing. You must have won the silicon lottery with your Qick and Red Devil cards. I personally think the manufacturers send the reviewers better cards than the average ones.

Love how speedy you are with this video release, thank you! Also, how did you "disable all metrics from being displayed or logged"? Thx!
Thanks man, also, i always disable the metrics
Did u notice that installing afterburner will force all ur oc settings to go to default again after each restart ? Version 24.3.1
Great video. Ty very much m8.
Thanks for watching :D
What tools do you recommend for testing the GPU and for how long (time) do you recommend testing?
I recommend heavy games
@@AncientGameplays nice , I will try with The Witcher 3 ultra graphics and Watch Dog legion ultra settings
Thanks, this is a great guide for my AMD Sapphire Nitro+ 6600XT!
Testing my VRAM OC at 2112Mhz on Fast Timings... other settings same as yours.
Will see how it goes! :)
Thanks for watching 💪💪
@@AncientGameplays played some BF2042 earlier and actually noticed a nice 5-10 FPS gain, thank you so much! 👍👍👍
Works great, thank you very much.
Mine is PowerColor Red Devil variant, it can get as low as 1060 mV (undervolt only), and managed to stay stable with your OC values at 1090 mV.
Too bad I can't get my memory clock exactly like yours, but it's fine since mine's only 10 MHz lower (2204 MHz).
10Mhz do literally nothing, even 50MHz wouldn't render any visible gains
@@AncientGameplays true 🙌
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions with actual settings. Some RUclipsrs clickbait us with "settings" but don't really teach us how. Your 6600xt settings instantly got me to 31 Mh/s NiceHash, and 33 with some tweaking using the methods you describe. I have the PowerColor Hellhound. I hit that like button for you sir!
Thank you for watching and commenting
This dude has an amazing voice, and has a lot of good points! Great explanation
Thank you very much
Overclocked my xfx 6600xt swift 210 to 2700 core, 2300 memory and it actually beat my RTX 2080's graphics score in fire strike!, My 6600xt is paired with a 10850k and 2080 is paired with a 5950x
Yeap, doesn't surprise me as the 5700XT was already around that card :D
was having issues ocing this card, but wow was this perfect on the money! subbed!
You're welcome. I am sure i have way more videos of your liking
Great detailed video! Settings worked for me immediately on my 6600s. Performance on NiceHash jumped from 28 MH/s to 31 MH/s in real time. And now the 6600s are running 15 degrees C cooler.
Nice to know you liked it
Hey Man. Great video.
Which model is used here XFX Quik or Red Devil one?
Is the in-built stress test reliable or games to test the tunings.
Doesn't matter the model, this is the XFX i believe :D
It most definitely must be a bug. If your mV caps out at 1070 and you reduce clock speeds on par with that, it will bug out and crash the entire driver regardless of the operation.
I do notice when stressing out the gpu and turning down the clocks and voltage slowly, it slightly artifacts at 94% voltage or 1070, which means that the driver must have a built in protection to auto-reset the gpu when it detects slight artifacting?
At 95% it's fine for the most part because the core clocks can't hit high enough on the most simplest stress test on furmark lol.
GPU Hotspot temps of ~80+ celsius when on stock settings and reducing voltage will drastically reduce the hotspot temps to like 75-76 and such...
buying this card just because of you, love you man keep making this and how-to videos on AMD
Thank you my man :D
Thanks. I'm using a single fan 6600 XT. The GPU could handle a 2600mhz boost but it was a bit too much for the small heatsink. Dialing down to 2500mhz makes the boost clock more stable and a bit cooler. Managed to undervolt it to 1070mV. I think it could go even lower but benchmarking for stability is a bit of pain, so I'll just leave it there.
Nice to help
Just bought one too. The fan curve is messy tho. Have you gone through the trouble of finding the optimal curve?
@@jerowe_5896 i just leave it on default with latest driver. they tend to prioritize low noise over everything else. i stopped bothering with undervolt too because it makes the fan spins much faster and noisier.
this has made a huge difference in my rx 6700 xt by undervoiting. by card is a sapphire pulse and i must say at stock voltage with overclock of 2.7 as min and 2.8 as max wasnt worth it. so i ended up with a undervoit of 1100mv's with clock speeds of 2.6ghz as min and 2.7ghz as maximum and boy this made my fans used to go over 3000rpm. now their running 850rpm up to 1200rpm if the card got warm. thanks so much anicent gameplay for showing this. it just shows that overclocking and undervoiting is a good idea because if the tempture is low and amps and low and voltage is low it will allow the gpu to boost alot more. makes sense just like on ryzen.
Undervolting is a must for most hardware parts, people just don't get it
@@AncientGameplays yea I agree my junction temp was hitting about 110c and I have changed the thermal paste several times without thinking of undervoiting and by doing so and lowering the core clock by a 100mhz It's worth it.
really nice bro, extremamente detalhado parabens!
Obrigado!!
About the Smart Access Memory it's "resizable bar" inside the motherboard bios. You have enable resizable bar.
Yeah ofc
Do the settings and changes applied in the Radeon software take precedence over any changes made in other programs such as MSI Afterburner? And if so do we need to have the Radeon Software open in the background or in the system tray in order for these changes to have an effect?
It's automatic after you apply settings. MSI afterburner requires start up I believe.
Love your videos bro! Thanks so much!
Thank you for watching
Hey brother, thank you so much for this tutorial and very well explained. I got my 6600 xt today. It would be nice if you could show us a tutorial on how to overclock the Ryzen cpu with this graphics card. I have a Ryzen 5 5600x.
Hey man, no need to overclock r5 5600x. In gaming it will perform the same stock vs oc :D
@@AncientGameplays yes and no I feel like it can be underclocked and raised just abit
@@rylanwill6969 not actually. You mean undervolted
@@AncientGameplays yea sorry it's been along time I'm planning on building a new desktop motherboards seem cheap rn cous and gpus expensive but I'ma take advantage of it and grab the msi unifi a less rgb like motherboard similar to the godlike which I can't get in canada where I am rn for soem reason but the unit seems to be on on par a 570 board and has all the nice and features and phases for overclocking a prem board for jsut alow price for 200 last time I seen it for the older version I don't know how many years ago it was nearly 600 pr se shit big price drop but I'm going with a 6700 xt or 6600xt with a ryzen 7 or 5 5600x or xt but for a little but of new arch and few more beefed up ponys is it really worth the almsot hundred bucks more like it should blow most gaming rigs out fo the water while staying relatively cheap for a high end ish build like I got everything wrote down for just under a thousand so far I think it should be abel to demolish most games on max settings 3verythign cranked ect and with a good board I can get some quality ram for it and oc to that to plus I want tonget a real beefy power supply for future upgrades since the route I'm going is to secure the future iv been living off my ps4 as a pc and a an old laptop that can't even run roblox lmfao so over all graphics and proformence wise should be leaps and bounds also what do you think of msi afterburner would it open up more tuning options
Sorry, what meant to say with my last comment was that I a was a little bit tired to figure out what was wrong with the overclock, I'm trying again now (English is not my first language). Anyway, thanks for your video! Helped me a lot
I am glad that i helped somehow!
Thank you for this video. I got a powercolor rx 6600 xt red devil today and I got way better performance on the core with 1100mv and the memory , I was only able to get it to 2180mhz . I got 5 more fps in rdr2 at 1440p almost ultra . From 52fps average to 57fps average. Didn't test any other game cause I didn't test , so yeah , thanks ;)
Edit : Now I've been playing rdr2 for like 2 and a half hours and it crashed because of the memory , so I'd going to 2050 mhz will be enough for it to be stable
Have you tried fast timings (damn, you were unlucky on vram)
Yap , I did test with and without fast timings , without it i would get like 20mhz+ on memory , but still get 2fps minus . So its worth keeping on. You think I should return it and get another model? Or the same one ?
I meant to say I got 2150 maximum on it , not 2050 , im gonna do a stress test tonight , see how it goes
@@thelordkiller_ytxxshadowmi8813 how did it go
Thank you. Very straightforward tutorial.
Thank you
Awesome! Like always, your videos are the best. I have AMD Radeon XFX SWFT 210 RX 6600XT and my card work best like your settings in this video. Playing RDR2 on 1080p ultra setings ray tracing on and never, never go under 55fps(night in town) average is 70-75fps, with OC like u said in the video...gained aprox 8fps. in future I will replace my monitor for 1440p and i thing will be playable as well :D
Great to hear. Enjoy your gaming!
i've got the exact same card. I managed to get it stable at 1040 mV. But the card's junction temps still hovers in the 90s when playing Star Wars Fallen Order. Fan speed is set to constant 100%. Am I doing something wrong here?
@@yusufismail1311 tenho a mesma placa com o mesmo problema.
@@yusufismail1311 I have XFX 210swft with only 2 wents...and its pretty low on temps..i cannot believe it. 66/85 digrees
good job bro i love it i did all and its better i feel lot change thx lot for the video
Can you do one for the 6650xt please 😅
The steps you see here are the same my man :;D
I've been tinkering with overclock/undervolt for a few days. I set up my 6600xt according to your recommended values. Then i opened up a game. I increased the voltage a bit because i saw some weird stuttering. Tested again. Compared between stock and overclocked and got a few more fps in forza motorsport in both averages and 1 % lows. Today i was just watching something on amazon. And then suddenly i got a black screen. After rebooting the pc i got a notification from the AMD software that the tunning settings were reverted to default due to instability. How come i never got a black screen during gameplay for more than 10 minutes but i got blackscreen while watching a video stream? And this happened like 3 times already. I even tried using the stress test built-in feature in the AMD software. Ran it for 5 minutes. No black screen, nothing. But then im watching amazon prime with a few browser tabs open, and suddenly i get a blackscreen? Surely the stress test was more intensive than that, right? Could it be that my gpu dual bios mode is set to quiet, instead of OC ? I did raise the power limits to 20 % in the software just like you said. Anyway.. Should i switch to OC mode on the gpu and then try again? I'm pretty sure i have enough power from my power supply.. ( 700W evga psu). Hopefully my power supply didn't get bust or something. Might report more to this comment if i find a solution or anything changes.
cpu/ gpu temps are good btw
Much stable during games now thx alot😁
hey great vid! but i have a question about the GPU, at what temp on it should i be worried?
75C is perfectly fine
@@AncientGameplays ok
Love your tweak vids💪🏼
Thanks!
Nice video, helpeed enormously. TY
Thank you for this video I did not realize how much performance I would get out of this. My card is a beast holy hell I am going to get a 1440p high refresh rate monitor now. Thank you again
Thank you for watching and for commenting :D
What do you use test the stability of the VRAM? FurMark is ok? How much time?
If you have ac valhalla it is great to test VRAM
@@AncientGameplays No sorry, for now Valorant is ok. Core stable at 2614-1120mV and vRAM 2300 and now I am going up...
Would this tutorial apply to
XFX SWFT 210 RX 6650XT
Every time i start my pc, the Zero RPM re-enables itself for some reason and can't seem to find a fix. Annoying to have 57c gpu temp on idle instead of 39c with Zero RPM disabled. Have you heard about this issue?
Very well thaks from spain!
Really nice video :)
Thank you
Question. If i decrease the clock speed can i decrease the voltage further below than 1080mv ? its the limit for my card
Yes, exactly
These cards uses the same votage for GPU Core and for Memory power controller... Lowest voltage depends not only from Core but from memory controller too :(
Yeap, it was "the same" with VEGA cards :D
@@AncientGameplays There are some limit in frequency, when you reach like 2600mhz, all voltages are ignored and card works with stock voltage 😔... Only GPU-Z shows right voltage at the moment..need to test and find right MHz's 🤮
Really good video, thanks man
You're welcome
Hi I'm wondering why did you turn off zero rpm? wouldn't that setting makes the fans last longer than having them on continuously?
you're genuinely an angel
A couple of doubts... On every check of stability I have to run games at its max graphics quality to see if it crashes or not? Or just with the VRAM check ? I use to play CSGO so, I don't usually play at highest qualities
Run a benchmark and see if it crashes.
thanks just got it but the temps are so bad was able to undervolt it from 80c to 60-65c and overclock it heavily 2800mhz and mem 2250
Great 💪💪
I think I will do the undervolt, mabye a bit more if possible than in video and give memory a little boost and fast timings. It's already a really fast card for 1080p.
Hi, can u make a video about undervolting the RX 6650XT?
And are a be quiet 450w psu enough for a RX 6650XT?
Hey man, the process is the same as you see here, just different numbers. Also, you should NEVER cheap out on a PSU, a good one will last you a decade
When i get my first card 5600 xt your video was the best of the best help me a lot now i just got a gigabyte 6600xt oc pro 3 fan and i fell like i need advice any other advice i will appreciate it
This video will do it :D
hello, what model of 6600xt are you using here? thanks for the great video
Thanks for the tutorial! Do you use MSI Kombustor while testing the overclocking process?
Usually use gaming in several games and pushing several resolutions :D
@@AncientGameplays so do you have a game running on a small Window whilst you can adjust the overclock sliders?
I adjust and run a game till it crashes, if not i tweak again. Usually higher resolutions and heavy games
@@AncientGameplays thank you 😊
i used these setting and put them against the auto overclock feature in the software, and the auto overclock got 30 fps more in furmark donut. I singled out each of the steps one-by-one, and I found that the worst offender was setting the minimum gpu clock 100mhz lower than the max clock. If you omit that step, everything else seems fine.
That seems odd, maybe your GPU vbios doesn't like it or you're simply power restricted
Hi ! For the 6600XT, I don't OC it because I have a 22 inch screen 1080p 60Hz so I just want to have the better efficiency ! Just the fact to block the GPU at 60fps made a huge difference but with UV/UC is more efficient and I love that ! Consume less, temp under 60-65°C, less noise ... just perfect !
I can play Fortnite at 2800mhz max, 2700mhz min, 1010mV and 2190mhz with fast timings, its ok?
if it doesn't crash, put the min clocks to 500MHz, some things changed nowadays :D
@@AncientGameplays obg fabio :)
excellent results with your settings, i have only 1 question, driver updates remove the manual settings?
They don't if you save them in another folder
@@AncientGameplays Awesome, thank you. One more question and sorry to bother you, do you recommend OC/UV this GPU if i play in 1080 ay 60fps? Can this short the lifespan of my GPU?
@@fistofk5839 uv is always recommended
@@AncientGameplays Great, can i only UV according with your indications in this video and ignore the OC? And ty so much for answer
hi, when I'm OC my 6600 strix, after reboot comp my vram is back to default and power limit also set to default value.. where is the problem ?
maybe a BIOS problem, OR, just not stable at 100%
I'm solve the problem - I had 1660 Super nVidia with instaled MSI Afterburner, so afterb. on launch win10 was made a conflict with radeon adrenalin.. just uninstall all nVidia drivers with afterburner and OC radeon work and load fine.. it's a conflict between two army 👍
@@milansarenac3335 you needed a clean driver install...that is a must all the times. Install chipset drivers as well
I got really bizarre results w/ my 6600 XT... The more I undervolt (with same clock and RAM settings).. the more the FPS increases... until it hits a point where it crashes.
I am currently stable at 2625/2725, 2125RAM and 990MV?
That's not bizarre. Lower voltage means more power room for the card to clock higher
@@AncientGameplays Lower voltage.. same watts, means more amps, doesn't it? So something is being more stressed with lower voltage. Interesting.
I only saw this with Furmark... tried other benchmarks, and did not see this behavior. Weird.
I'm a little slow, I thought this wouldn't help out the whole picture (my whole Pc). It did! All temps are real low on my case now. Also disabled Zero Rpm. thank you so much
You're welcome 💪
So I got a rx6600xt but every time i play a game i get a black screen with everything running in the background. then the screen comes back on. only does it in game or when theres a lot going on. everything is up to date. idk what to do. please help

Hello, thanks for this video! Why you change minimum frekvencies? Does it matter? Dont this have bigger idle consumtion? Thanks!
I explain it, it is for the clocks to get there. It doesn't matter on idle, since these frequencies only apply for 3d apps
@@AncientGameplays ok, thank you very much for explanaiton. I built my custom pc in Fractal Design Node 202 with i3-12100f ;) Have a nice day
Does this video apply to a 6650xt as well?
Precisely from that card you don't have a dedicated video for undervolt and overclock :(
Yes, but the 6650XT has higher values
Hello @ancientGameplays I managed to undervolt my 6600xt to 1000v, if I go any lower the adrenaline drivers crash. am I doing something wrong or did I hit some serious silicon lottery?! 😂😂 I am using cyberpunk benchmark for testing btw
No just stay at 1000, you hit the sweet spot
Hey buddy i have sapphire pulse 6650 XT, could i use these settings on it or i would need to figure it out on my own?
listen to the steps, but your values will be higher
Hi, I have next configuration - Intel i5 10400F / MSI Mech RX 6600XT 8GB GDDR6 / Seasonic 650W 80+ Bronze, 120MM. What do you advise me, where to start overclocking.What shold I do if I want to reset overclock and goes to defoult settings. It is this right way " TUNNING CONTROL / AUTOMATIC "
Boas Fábio..com o MSI Afterburner ligado nada disto se aplica certo? Parece que sim afinal... Qual o programa que usas para o benchmark? No afterburner não consigo ver médias de fps nem outras informações..
O afterburner segue os dados daqui. Tens de configurar para ver isso tudo
Hey mate,
firstly, thanks for your video! Secondly I have a question regarding the updates and maintenance in order to save the configuration, because when I updated the driver "adrenaline", all your applied configurations of MHz, VRAM etc. are set to the standard values.
Can you please teach me, how to safe them "forever"?
Thanks a lot in advance, greetings from Bremen, Germany and have a great time!
Um, my GPU hot spot is holding 81-82 on horizon zero dawn with GPU temp 69c. Did your exact settings.
Great vid :)
I know it's been a while but do you have any recommendations regarding this gpu & fan curve or other radeon options?
My voltage and clock speed just randomly drop to 0 is that normal?
my OC+undervolt setting: 2790MHz clock speed, 2225 Mem clock, 1.095mV (-55mV), +20% power limit. It's not that much faster unless you're running at 58 fps and wanna reach 60fps lol
Hi, thank you for the video, I'm using Asrock challenger pro, I was successful set my vol to 1060mv, min 2000 max 2640, fast timing and vram Freq is 2338 Mhz. I could increase the max to 2750 or more but it eat more power for me (125W for 2750 and 110W for 2640) but it only increases 0,3 fps in Unheaven benchmark.
I just got me that card yesterday so excited.. but can't enable the SAM in adrenaline. The option is grey.
10 gen intel core and bios updated and enabled for SAM.
Anyone have the same problem?
you need to enable SAM on BIOS first of all, and may need a clean GPU driver install

Hi. Do you maybe know why is my tuning setup resets every time I turn on/off PC. And if you do, can you help me fix that issue?
Thanks and keep up with great videos!
Hey man, seems it isn't that stable as it should then
awesome guide, but whenever i set my pc to sleep mode drivers crash and reset. found out its not related to my settings. have you experienced this as well?
Humm, actually not, my 6600xt has no issue when sleeping
I would like to hear you on why you choose amd across the board instead of a traditionnal Nvidia/Intel gaming pc
Hey hey, the "traditional" Nvidia/Intel combo has died since Ryzen was released, and 5000 and mostly 6000 series made a good comeback for AMD in terms of GPUs as well. Still, the main reason is AMD sends hardware, and Intel and NVIDIA don't even care...
I have an rx 6600xt msi gaming x and i can add only 4% powerdraw...
Listen to what I say
Is this a driver bug like the RX 5700 XT launch?
Purposely reduce your core clock to 70% and your core voltage to 90%, and watch it crash when testing furmark?
You can't purposely reduce the voltage in half while cutting the core clocks in half, say to test for stability or driver bugs?
RX 6600 XT Sapphire Nitro+... I got it at Canada's Computer for 711.89 CAD (total), because it's +100 USD over MSRP from the current pricing of 629.99 (subtotal) on the site.
Canadian prices are much higher due to tariffs and import fees. But this was nothing compared to AIB Vega cards when they launched.
I am not sure if the GDDR6 are overheating too soon though.
Something very interessting for you: My MSI 6600XT Gaming X has in Firestrick, Timespy and Port Royal the same score if i compare Fast and Standard Timings on VRAM 2162Mhz. It is always about 5 Points more or less the same. My card has Samsung VRAM like most of the other 6600XT. Could you compare that with your card? Because if behavior is the same on other cards, than fast Timings is useless for the 6600XT. Than it would be better not to change it from default, for stability reasons.... if you get no benefit...
That makes no sense, you need to test in actual games and see the difference. Also, something seems off there
@@AncientGameplays Yes, i was wondering, too. And today it is a different picture. 2162Mhz fast and normal timings is ca 2% difference in 3D Mark scores at todays tests. Must have been something wrong with my 3D Mark and it was fixed after reboot. Can't reach 2200Mhz with fast timing. Games will freeze after some hours of playing. I thing 2140 Mhz (2128Mhz without offset) is the best i can do with my card. Other owners of 6600xt cards report around 2150 Mhz (2138 Mhz) is stable for them after intensive playing. You must have won the silicon lottery with your Qick and Red Devil cards. I personally think the manufacturers send the reviewers better cards than the average ones.
Hey can u give me settings for my rx 6600xt asus dual og? I only have 600 watts and it keeps crashing after 20 mins playing a game.
