So I just used this as a baseline for my xfx merc 319 rx 6800 xt. And it really helped, especially in the last of us!! I got more frames with lower temps! And as a first time overclocker, thank you for making it so easy!
I have the Asrock Taichi 6800xt. Was able to get 2625-2725 with Mv 980/ VRam 2080/ Power limit %15 and your Fan Curve Thanks for covering this. I'm one of those new to AMD GPUs People. 😎
@@ruairidhkoch7875 LOL Super late but I settled on his settings at 2600-2700. GPU doesn't seem to like more than 950MV but what you get is pretty amazing.
Yeah thats super low. lol idk why all these Radeon people think undervolting gives you more performance, only thing its gonna do is drop your clock speeds and lower your temps. lol I leave my 6800xt at full voltage.
@@shanejossart4062 it depends, there is a threshold where you do get performance gains from the reduced temps. Each card behaves wildly differently, I'm on my third 6800xt and it benefits from sitting at 1125mV. So I'm quite surprised and pleased with AMDs provided tuning features in the drivers. Try the GPU clock, memclock, voltage tuning features, they're very accurate. That helped me find my card's limits and where to start fiddling with permanent settings.
@@Caution40404 it's not so much about crashing, check your performance in actual games after undervolting. You'll see a performance reduction with higher clocks and lower voltage. Each card is different. Dramatically so. Gotta see which voltage works for yours but AMD has built in that function in the drivers. Check it out to get a good idea of your card's limits for clock speed, memory speed and undervolting.
@@Dongsa AMD has built in very conservative numbers.If u undervolt to say 950 the card will still draw 1000 - 1100. If i put mine to 2500-2600 MHz with 1020 mw at stock memory with fast timing and set my power limit to + 9 it will give me much higher scores in benchmarks. It will also give me more FPS in games. That is why its called tuning. All silicon is different,some thrive in lower voltage with higher clocks and some don't.
i have xfx 6800xt.dont undervolt under 1050mv.and its better 2600-2500 than 2650-2550.and the power limit to 15 gives 2-3% for 45watt.uder 1000mv all 6800xts crash,1020-1050 its the way
Thanks for watching and providing your feedback! The settings in the video have worked for me but that doesn't mean they are ideal - everyone will end up with a best setting for their card/situation so a bit of experimentation is key. I haven't had any issues gaming at that voltage but doing something like crypto mining will eventually cause a crash so it just depends on your use.
Paul, I've got an XFX 6800XT as well that seems to always goes to black screen on me in Call of Duty MW. I'm wondering if it's more driver or game related than card related, as it doesn't crash on me running benchmarks in Heaven and TimeSpy. Was fairly stable yesterday running no OC, then I saw this vid, saw your comment above, changed my clocks to where yours are at, and I crashed after about 45 minutes. There's almost zero good info on what could be causing this problem, so any time I see someone with an XFX 6800XT that's played with it a bit, I'm always interested. Thanks for the post.
Good video. Some of those numbers aren't applicable to the RX6800 non XT but OC experience is cumulative even if it isn't 1=1. I find My overclock settings were fine, the Adrenalin in game overlay was making me crash. It was really frustrating until I figured that out.
have you noticed games crashing? Asking because my card just cant play any intensive games like Read dead 2 and cyberpunk without crashing a shitton which leads me to mess around and try and fix it. If you have a fix for the issue please to say. Thanks in advance. :)
Very helpful video, helped validate some of the results I was seeing from my oc. Mine is a Pulse card so the cooling is not quite as robust as the higher binned models and my case isn't the best air flow (did what I could with a solid front panel), so it lined up perfectly that I did slightly worse in reasonable ocs. Sitting at Fast timings 2050 for example my vram was probably slightly hotter than yours in this video, it took a while to notice but there was color artifacts on very select few textures that I missed until about 30 minutes into playing Monster Hunter World w/ High res textures. I tuned down to 2030 just to be safe and saw no more issues on the same part that showed the artifact, was satisfied with that and moved on. Now I see I could probably push core clock a little higher and voltage lower.
With such a powerful GPU, I’d only recommend undervolting it. Reducing the power draw and heat while maintaining stock clocks or slightly above makes more sense than overclocking. In your case you’re drawing a lot more power while overclocking for not a lot more FPS. The gaming experience is already very good, just undervolt the GPU and use Radeon Chill in your preferred gaming titles so you can enjoy using this card.
My rx 6800 its not increasing power consumption. And it has lower performance as well. Even setting min gpu frequency high, its reducing to 300mhz sometimes.
It's Bios limited. If it was allowed to run to it's best performance, you wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't an XT and it would hurt XT sales. My MSI gaming x trio was set stock 1025mv, did you increase that value?
Have my red devil 6900XT clocked at min 2500 and max 2600 running on 1100MV. It never gets hotter than 63 degrees when I am gaming and the hot spot gets about 80 degrees.
If I overclock my 6800 xt with adrenalin and something happens to card, can the manufacturer see somewhere that I have used just a windows10 application to tune those values? How can they see what caused the malfunction if I just say that I was normally using the card and the card stopped working? :D
Ok ran your settings except for the power limit as it would only goto 9%, maybe that is because its a msi trio x. got mine upto 2700 and vram upto 100 but crashed so ive kept it at 2650. great video btw helped a heap with this being my first AMD card
Nice video, i usually use 2300mhz and 2400mhz max, on 1000mv, it works for assasin creed vahlaha ( it would crash if i use 950) ,Also same setting : game crash for warzone, i guess i have to increase voltage?
Voltage is going to be different for every card/system so it's not surprising that your card needs 1000mv to work - just adjust until stable. Also, 'real world' gaming situations are also different than torture tests such as FurMark that could actually cause crashes. In my experience, torture tests put more strain on the card but don't actually allow it to reach the correct boost clocks so they aren't super helpful for anything other than temperature testing IMO. Thanks for watching!
Your settings will be different but the process is the same - just start from stock and work your way up bit by bit. You can either start with core clock >mem clock>lower voltage or start with lower voltage>core clock>mem clock.
Without having the card myself, I would say that you should just start at default clocks and work your way up starting with core clock and then mem clock. Then, see if you can undervolt a little from there. Or, you could try a small undervolt (50mv) right at the beginning to see if it helps your overclock due to less power usage.
I have the 6800xt red devil from powercolor (the limited edition) and I've been struggling to get it past 2.55ghz. All the reviewers seem to be able to get 2.7 and I've seen 2.8 here and there. It's either that I got a not so good sample, uncool considereding the limited edition, or I just don't understand how to overclock it higher.
When I set the minimum clock to 100 less than the maximum, my 3DMark Time Spy score is consistently lower than when I set the minimum to 500. So should I just go with the 500 minimum?
Tried this with my PowerColor 6900xt Red Devil and it crashed and defaulted back to standard when running Tried with and without VRAM timings enabled and changing the voltage .
Your settings will be a little different but the process is the same. See how high you can get your core/memory and then see how low you can undervolt. Or, undervolt a little to begin with and then see how high you can get clock speeds. Might be a little trial and error.
Hey Geek, i notice you reply alot of these comments.. im subbing! I have question myself, i just got myself a red devil 6900xt with i9-9900k (stock), 850w gold psu, and 16 gb ram 2666mhz xmp to 3000. My question is, when im playing BFV in 1080p resolution, why am i only getting 60-70% gpu usage, which caused stuttering & low fps (somewhere 120-130 with lag)? This result even worse than my old 1080. Why cant i get 99% usage on my gpu? And do you know whats the cause of this? I even tried the resolution scale option ingame to 200% to use more of my gpu but results are still! Do you think any bottlenecks or whats going on? Its even happeninng on other games (rust) which only utilize 70-90% fluctuates. I would hope my gpu usage can stay at 99% all times when im gsming to gain most of the performances. Really appreciate if you could answer this. Thank u!!!
I think the issue here is the 1080p resolution. The 6900xt is so overkill for that resolution for any game that I don't think you'll ever be able to get to 100% utilization. At that point, your CPU is actually the bottleneck. You could try to overclock your 9900k but I think your system is begging for 1440p gaming.
Purely based on sound output. There is nothing wrong with maxing fans but it can get a little loud. As long as temps are within a normal range I am okay with it. Keep in mind that temps will be much higher during stress tests than they would be during normal gaming.
i haave the 6800xt lc asus. almost all my games crash (and the card itself crashes [resets wattman]) on default settings. Send it back??.. it seems to be defective
These cards are meant to dynamically change clocks based on load/needs in realtime so increasing the minimum just keeps the minimum frequency closer to max so there is less variation
I have not noticed any stuttering issues with the rx6800xt so far! Be sure all drivers are up to date and that your CPU and/or RAM isn't bottlenecking you!
This is the best for 6700 XT: Min Freq: 2500 MHz Max Freq: 2600 MHz Voltage: 1100mV (many cards can get lower. Keep reducing by -10mV until it's unstable or without artifacts) VRAM Max Freq: 2112 MHz Power Limit (%): 15% or whatever is maximum
Hey i have been following your tutorial with good results! One question....do you notice increased coil whine noise in certain games as you increase the core clock? I notice this especially in AC Valhalla but is present in other games... I also notice that at about 2400 GPU overclock or less the coil whine becomes almost inaudible but the loudness of it seems proportionate to how much clock speed you are at at as well as the core voltage set...Have you experienced any of this? Thanks!
Personally, I haven't noticed any coil whine but I also run the fan at 50% or more and use headphones. It's not surprising that the coil whine would increase with clock/voltage but there really isn't anything bad about it other than the annoyance. AFAIK, there isn't really a way to reduce coil whine since it is vibrations on the card components itself making the noise.
I notice it in certain games.. As soon as I push past 2550 I notice it more.. But I also need a new speaker set up.. I have been hearing a winy noise through them as well.
The only thing that would ever degrade a GPU faster than stock is if it is running at high temps for long periods of time. If your gpu temp stays around 60-70 and your junction stays under 90 I don't think you will ever have issues. We undervolt the card as well with these settings which also helps keep the card healthy.
950 mV with those frequency is not even possible xD, who gives a shit if your 2 minutes benchmarks dont crash, play a computer gamer for 5+ hours and you will crash every time, what you did put is NOT POSSIBLE to have sorry, its like if humans could fly but thats not possible, same like for your settings
Tends to be unstable. Rdna2 doesn't scale great with clocks alone, it scales better with vram tuning, power limit, and undervolting, and cooling. If you have a water block you could maybe crank up the frequency (but an average card won't go past 2600 or so, maybe with silicon lottery you could go 27-2800)
AMD's software doesn't give you a way to do this unless you set up performance profiles for individual games which it will auto-load when you run the game. There are other options out there, however, like MSI Afterburner that have an option to 'run at startup' so that you don't have to mess with it every time.
Hey Geek thank you for the video ! but i do have a question ! pls if i may... how will this work for sapphire nitro+ cards? who has 350w power consume (way more power than normal) and have also higher base clock (my stock clock is 2480) how does it effect me and overclock? what settings would i maybe need to change ? thank you !
The process will essentially be the same but you'll need to pay extra attention to your PSU to make sure it is big enough to handle the power. Otherwise, you might find that you have less overclocking headroom simply because the card is essentially shipped overclocked. Play with your settings, keep your temperatures down, and try to undervolt a bit if you can!
@@heygeek3816 hey thank you for replay, i got 850 psu so it should be fine ! , however im more concerned whatever i can damage my card or not.. becuase it has more power consume than ref card , while ref cards comes at 300 power consume the nitro + comes at 350 which is big different in power !, when i didnt reduce the volt infact.. when i changed nothing at all other than clock i was able to keep 2749 clock stable.. at 1150 volt without enabling power limit.. and i did see pretty decent FPS increase.. however my junction ran at around 10c hotter even tho it had same volt .. overall my gpu stays cold at all time i got 63c on gpu but at 2749 clock my junction reached 93-94c in hard gaming with pushed my gpu.. when i tried to lower the volt i had to lower the clock and for example at 950volt i couldnt run 2650 igot error i had to change to over 1000 for itto remain stable i put it at 1050 volt down from 1150 and set clock to 2650 and it ran smooth with no errors with power limit to 15% however it did make junction and gpu run abit hotter and overall consumed more power than stock.. however my power consume was still around 290-300 and i didnt see 350w consume . however the fps boost i got from 2650 clock at 1050 volt was small there was huge leap from 2749 to 2650 however from 2480(stock) to 2650 i barely saw any noticeable FPS increase i did see 3dmark score increased decently but actual FPS like 3% while 2749 was more like 10% ... i tried to search for videos that shows nitro+ videos but i couldnt find.. honestly im very new to overclocking and i dont want to damage my card by doing stuff i got no clue at.. i wonder if the 3% or so from 2650 clock really worth changing it from stock.. since at stock i get 2480 and it seem to run colder . or maybe there should be more ways or different approach to overclocking nito taking use of its higher power? . thank you !
You are talking about a few percent.. And with a card like that your not going to get much more out of it to where you feel it.. Your power drawl may not even be 350 watts.. Have you checked it?? That's just what's listed on the card to scare you into buying a new PSU but you may go up to like 370 watts with that overclock he listed.. Never seen anyone pull more than 400 watts with a 6900XT and that was on LN.. But I could be wrong.. I have an XFX 6800XT and the experience is the same whether Stock or Overclocked.. What's different is my FPS goes up a little depending on the game too.. You may see a Nice 10% increase or just a 2% increase.. I overclock anyway just cause why not..
The 6800 XT? I picked one up shortly after launch on Newegg - my best recommendation is to sign up for stock alerts and join a couple of active Discord groups if you are looking to pick one up!
Each model will have slightly different ideal settings - I would recommend starting at stock and slowing bumping up your core/memory clock until unstable and then slowly lowering voltage until unstable.
While max power overclocks that increase voltage and heat on a GPU will almost certainly shorten the lifespan of a card I would argue that undervolting the card and reducing heat will have no negative impact on the GPU and might even help lengthen its lifespan.
I am planning a CPU overclock video in the near future to stay tuned! CPU overclocking is a bit more involved since you will usually be working within the BIOS. Thanks for watching!
So my Idle temperature is somewhat arround 65°C when there is no fan spinning. I got the rx 6800 xt from amd, is that normal??? I am thinking about turning the zero RPM off so i get lower idle temperatures....
65C is really high... Did you have other fan software running in the background like msi Afterburner or FanControl? The zero RPM should only go to 50C normally. I have about 34C idle at 1000RPM
@@Kallermatsch37 i have corsairs ICUE Software running in the background. The card goes up to 65 degrees, then the Fans start spinning for a bit but stop at 50 or so. When i have the gpu Fans spinning at 25% without zero cooler I get an idle temp of about 39 degrees. Should i keep the card or send it back? I wont get a new card though, amd will just refund it...
@@TheBugripper You most likely configured something wrong. I don't want to give you false advice, but you should cross out all other things that could prevent the GPU from using the fans propably. Like you said, you won't get it back from AMD.
Personally I wouldn't worry much about idle speeds. If you can set your fans to 25% minimum (basically silent) and get idle temps in the 30's I think that's totally fine. Big question is what do your load temps look like?
@@heygeek3816 My fan speeds are now pretty weird too. Configured a fan curve in the radeon software and my fans go up from 800RPM to 2000RPM when they reach 50C. I feel like it's the Radeon Software itself screwing fan speeds up. Never had problems with that on my Nvidia GPU :/
You are absolutely right if you are talking about moving from 170 fps to 180 fps - nobody will notice that. But, at higher resolutions it can make a huge impact moving from something like 53 fps to 60 fps. Nothing wrong with free performance plus it's fun!
@@heygeek3816 not against DLSS it cant ...fact. I have red devil 6900xt and a 3070 in another rig so this is from experience. As less than 1% use 4k monitors higher re moniotors are rare. the upscaling of DLSS is far superior . I get 80 fps on max in cyberpunk and over 100 on 3070 DSLL,,hmmm
give amd time they will release fidelityfx and amd will be miles ahead like usual. first time owning any cpu or gpu amd wise ive always been intel and nvidia made the switch because amd is blowing them out of the water.
Upgraded from to 6800xt from a 1080ti Nvidia lost me for life. Gameworks, hairworks, rtx ( it isn't their tech btw) and dlss... All half baked but marketed as legit fully functioning features to hide the fact they can't give us frames with less power because they hit a wall. Jensen is a con man.
So I just used this as a baseline for my xfx merc 319 rx 6800 xt. And it really helped, especially in the last of us!! I got more frames with lower temps! And as a first time overclocker, thank you for making it so easy!

When I set the minimum clock to 100 less than the maximum, my 3DMark Time Spy score is consistently lower than when I set the minimum to 500. So should I just go with the 500 minimum?
do you guys believe this guy OC to 2650Mhz with only 950mV? i doubt this UV OC settings will stable lol
Tried this with my PowerColor 6900xt Red Devil and it crashed and defaulted back to standard when running Tried with and without VRAM timings enabled and changing the voltage .
I have Sapphire nitro rx 6800 xt and it doesn't work for me.
I prefer to dont go up than 2600Mhz frequency because the GPU get such hot
I'm new to pc and have the rx 6900 xt what's the point in over clocking, just wondered?
Can i replicate this OC into my 5700xt? Not the same values buy the same %? Thanks!
Your settings will be a little different but the process is the same. See how high you can get your core/memory and then see how low you can undervolt. Or, undervolt a little to begin with and then see how high you can get clock speeds. Might be a little trial and error.
is it normal your vram clock being that high it looks maxed
I cant lower voltage mV without crashes, I can only lower to 1100, bad luck with silicone? Or is something wrong
Hey Geek, i notice you reply alot of these comments.. im subbing!
I have question myself, i just got myself a red devil 6900xt with i9-9900k (stock), 850w gold psu, and 16 gb ram 2666mhz xmp to 3000.
My question is, when im playing BFV in 1080p resolution, why am i only getting 60-70% gpu usage, which caused stuttering & low fps (somewhere 120-130 with lag)? This result even worse than my old 1080.
Why cant i get 99% usage on my gpu? And do you know whats the cause of this? I even tried the resolution scale option ingame to 200% to use more of my gpu but results are still! Do you think any bottlenecks or whats going on?
Its even happeninng on other games (rust) which only utilize 70-90% fluctuates.
I would hope my gpu usage can stay at 99% all times when im gsming to gain most of the performances.
Really appreciate if you could answer this. Thank u!!!
I think the issue here is the 1080p resolution. The 6900xt is so overkill for that resolution for any game that I don't think you'll ever be able to get to 100% utilization. At that point, your CPU is actually the bottleneck. You could try to overclock your 9900k but I think your system is begging for 1440p gaming.
Hey. I just got rx6800xt.. how come when i do heaven benchmark with exact same setting as yours i only get like 60fps average..
Howdy! Was there a specific reason you didnt max out the fan speeds at higher temps?
Purely based on sound output. There is nothing wrong with maxing fans but it can get a little loud. As long as temps are within a normal range I am okay with it. Keep in mind that temps will be much higher during stress tests than they would be during normal gaming.
Why doesn’t mine have a rage mode option ?
i cant save a rgb colour in pollychrome, defaults to rainbow on start up
i haave the 6800xt lc asus. almost all my games crash (and the card itself crashes [resets wattman]) on default settings. Send it back??.. it seems to be defective
What does minimum frequency in Radeon settings actually mean?
These cards are meant to dynamically change clocks based on load/needs in realtime so increasing the minimum just keeps the minimum frequency closer to max so there is less variation
Have an 6800 gigabyte oc what you recommend max core ? Thanks in advance
It will be different for every card - start at stock and bump it by 10-20 mhz and test until it isn't stable and then back down!
dang, my 6900xt scored 7500 stock on the unigine 4.0. how is it a 4000 score difference
cause you ran it at 1080p and he 1440p
thx for the video but are you facing any stuttering problem with rx6800xt ?
I have not noticed any stuttering issues with the rx6800xt so far! Be sure all drivers are up to date and that your CPU and/or RAM isn't bottlenecking you!
Do you have one for 6700 XT overclocking?
No but the process will be very similar!
This is the best for 6700 XT:
Min Freq: 2500 MHz
Max Freq: 2600 MHz
Voltage: 1100mV (many cards can get lower. Keep reducing by -10mV until it's unstable or without artifacts)
VRAM Max Freq: 2112 MHz
Power Limit (%): 15% or whatever is maximum
Hey i have been following your tutorial with good results! One question....do you notice increased coil whine noise in certain games as you increase the core clock? I notice this especially in AC Valhalla but is present in other games... I also notice that at about 2400 GPU overclock or less the coil whine becomes almost inaudible but the loudness of it seems proportionate to how much clock speed you are at at as well as the core voltage set...Have you experienced any of this? Thanks!
Personally, I haven't noticed any coil whine but I also run the fan at 50% or more and use headphones. It's not surprising that the coil whine would increase with clock/voltage but there really isn't anything bad about it other than the annoyance. AFAIK, there isn't really a way to reduce coil whine since it is vibrations on the card components itself making the noise.
I notice it in certain games.. As soon as I push past 2550 I notice it more.. But I also need a new speaker set up.. I have been hearing a winy noise through them as well.
Are theses settings ok for an everyday OC while gaming ? It won't harm the GPU over time ?
The only thing that would ever degrade a GPU faster than stock is if it is running at high temps for long periods of time. If your gpu temp stays around 60-70 and your junction stays under 90 I don't think you will ever have issues. We undervolt the card as well with these settings which also helps keep the card healthy.
No es recomendable ese overclock, days gone en 1440p, temperaturas de union de 95 grados, peligroso para dañar definitivamente la gpu
es alp2 ahcerlo overclock,a semejante bicho es mejor hacer undervolt
i put on max limit of 2.80 and stress test = crash = failed on a water cooling
950 mV with those frequency is not even possible xD, who gives a shit if your 2 minutes benchmarks dont crash, play a computer gamer for 5+ hours and you will crash every time, what you did put is NOT POSSIBLE to have sorry, its like if humans could fly but thats not possible, same like for your settings
how did you get 2650 thats awesome, i cant get anywhere near that , think its the ram?
Stable settings will be different for everyone. My settings work for games etc. but possibly wouldn't survive a torture test.
why not crank max frequency to max?
Tends to be unstable. Rdna2 doesn't scale great with clocks alone, it scales better with vram tuning, power limit, and undervolting, and cooling. If you have a water block you could maybe crank up the frequency (but an average card won't go past 2600 or so, maybe with silicon lottery you could go 27-2800)
how to save it by default and start up at the same time with the windows?
AMD's software doesn't give you a way to do this unless you set up performance profiles for individual games which it will auto-load when you run the game. There are other options out there, however, like MSI Afterburner that have an option to 'run at startup' so that you don't have to mess with it every time.
Hey Geek thank you for the video ! but i do have a question ! pls if i may... how will this work for sapphire nitro+ cards? who has 350w power consume (way more power than normal)
and have also higher base clock (my stock clock is 2480) how does it effect me and overclock? what settings would i maybe need to change ? thank you !
The process will essentially be the same but you'll need to pay extra attention to your PSU to make sure it is big enough to handle the power. Otherwise, you might find that you have less overclocking headroom simply because the card is essentially shipped overclocked. Play with your settings, keep your temperatures down, and try to undervolt a bit if you can!
@@heygeek3816 hey thank you for replay, i got 850 psu so it should be fine ! , however im more concerned whatever i can damage my card or not.. becuase it has more power consume than ref card , while ref cards comes at 300 power consume the nitro + comes at 350 which is big different in power !, when i didnt reduce the volt infact.. when i changed nothing at all other than clock i was able to keep 2749 clock stable.. at 1150 volt without enabling power limit.. and i did see pretty decent FPS increase.. however my junction ran at around 10c hotter even tho it had same volt .. overall my gpu stays cold at all time i got 63c on gpu but at 2749 clock my junction reached 93-94c in hard gaming with pushed my gpu.. when i tried to lower the volt i had to lower the clock and for example at 950volt i couldnt run 2650 igot error i had to change to over 1000 for itto remain stable i put it at 1050 volt down from 1150 and set clock to 2650 and it ran smooth with no errors with power limit to 15% however it did make junction and gpu run abit hotter and overall consumed more power than stock.. however my power consume was still around 290-300 and i didnt see 350w consume . however the fps boost i got from 2650 clock at 1050 volt was small there was huge leap from 2749 to 2650 however from 2480(stock) to 2650 i barely saw any noticeable FPS increase i did see 3dmark score increased decently but actual FPS like 3% while 2749 was more like 10% ... i tried to search for videos that shows nitro+ videos but i couldnt find..
honestly im very new to overclocking and i dont want to damage my card by doing stuff i got no clue at.. i wonder if the 3% or so from 2650 clock really worth changing it from stock.. since at stock i get 2480 and it seem to run colder . or maybe there should be more ways or different approach to overclocking nito taking use of its higher power? . thank you !
@@noyavargel3622 yo, what settings do you run now? got the sapphire 2 weeks ago and also have a 850 psu. thanks
You are talking about a few percent.. And with a card like that your not going to get much more out of it to where you feel it.. Your power drawl may not even be 350 watts.. Have you checked it?? That's just what's listed on the card to scare you into buying a new PSU but you may go up to like 370 watts with that overclock he listed.. Never seen anyone pull more than 400 watts with a 6900XT and that was on LN.. But I could be wrong.. I have an XFX 6800XT and the experience is the same whether Stock or Overclocked.. What's different is my FPS goes up a little depending on the game too.. You may see a Nice 10% increase or just a 2% increase.. I overclock anyway just cause why not..
is it safe?
What you were able to get one???
The 6800 XT? I picked one up shortly after launch on Newegg - my best recommendation is to sign up for stock alerts and join a couple of active Discord groups if you are looking to pick one up!
are these settings ok to follow i have rx6800 gpu and 5600x cpu
Each model will have slightly different ideal settings - I would recommend starting at stock and slowing bumping up your core/memory clock until unstable and then slowly lowering voltage until unstable.
i have the same setting , what did u get? as numbers?
Good video but i have gt 710 do you think thus settings will apply?
😂😂😂
Why on earth would you want to overclock a 6800XT and shorten its lifspan for a few % more frames that irl you can't see anyway?
While max power overclocks that increase voltage and heat on a GPU will almost certainly shorten the lifespan of a card I would argue that undervolting the card and reducing heat will have no negative impact on the GPU and might even help lengthen its lifespan.
Hi i have 5800x can u help me to overclock that cpu
I am planning a CPU overclock video in the near future to stay tuned! CPU overclocking is a bit more involved since you will usually be working within the BIOS. Thanks for watching!
Whats your motherboard brand?
So my Idle temperature is somewhat arround 65°C when there is no fan spinning. I got the rx 6800 xt from amd, is that normal???
I am thinking about turning the zero RPM off so i get lower idle temperatures....
65C is really high... Did you have other fan software running in the background like msi Afterburner or FanControl? The zero RPM should only go to 50C normally. I have about 34C idle at 1000RPM
@@Kallermatsch37 i have corsairs ICUE Software running in the background. The card goes up to 65 degrees, then the Fans start spinning for a bit but stop at 50 or so. When i have the gpu Fans spinning at 25% without zero cooler I get an idle temp of about 39 degrees. Should i keep the card or send it back? I wont get a new card though, amd will just refund it...
@@TheBugripper You most likely configured something wrong. I don't want to give you false advice, but you should cross out all other things that could prevent the GPU from using the fans propably. Like you said, you won't get it back from AMD.
Personally I wouldn't worry much about idle speeds. If you can set your fans to 25% minimum (basically silent) and get idle temps in the 30's I think that's totally fine. Big question is what do your load temps look like?
@@heygeek3816 My fan speeds are now pretty weird too. Configured a fan curve in the radeon software and my fans go up from 800RPM to 2000RPM when they reach 50C. I feel like it's the Radeon Software itself screwing fan speeds up. Never had problems with that on my Nvidia GPU :/
why is my max power 9
Not sure what you mean?
Your card already has a higher than stock power limit so can't go up as much
@@thegrimace683 ah ok thanks
oops sorry just relised i got asrock
A LOT of hand gestures lol
what a nothing video. my 6800 xt is utterly unstressed by the top clocks adrenalin will allow
Nice video...completely pointless as visually you will see no difference in game what so ever. For gamers buy a 3070 turn on DLSS and boom..6900 owned
You are absolutely right if you are talking about moving from 170 fps to 180 fps - nobody will notice that. But, at higher resolutions it can make a huge impact moving from something like 53 fps to 60 fps. Nothing wrong with free performance plus it's fun!
@@heygeek3816 not against DLSS it cant ...fact. I have red devil 6900xt and a 3070 in another rig so this is from experience. As less than 1% use 4k monitors higher re moniotors are rare. the upscaling of DLSS is far superior . I get 80 fps on max in cyberpunk and over 100 on 3070 DSLL,,hmmm
give amd time they will release fidelityfx and amd will be miles ahead like usual. first time owning any cpu or gpu amd wise ive always been intel and nvidia made the switch because amd is blowing them out of the water.
@@ottomatic8160 i hope so..its just when
Upgraded from to 6800xt from a 1080ti
Nvidia lost me for life. Gameworks, hairworks, rtx ( it isn't their tech btw) and dlss... All half baked but marketed as legit fully functioning features to hide the fact they can't give us frames with less power because they hit a wall. Jensen is a con man.
