Remember that on AIB models the power limits will be most likely higher (around 350W maybe), so the boost clocks will be higher when tweaking, and that will lead to even higher performance
Honestly, I feel like amd has locked down these cards through non optimized drivers, my cards power limit gets set to 350w(red devil oc), and most of the time I’m barely breaking 300. They really should be drawing more power.
Dude Great Video! I have the Gigabyte Gaming OC 7800XT. I tried to UV (I went way too low 1000 mV) and it ended up corrupting my Windows System32 files for some reason. I turned on Forespoken and the PC restarted and I couldn't open many apps. In short, I wanted to ask what you would put as the settings for the same card knowing how the Gaming OC AIB is usually a pretty decent board partner.
Thank you Fabio! My 7800XT Hellhound arrived today, it's more than two times faster than my 5700xt now, managed to bump it up to 2700mhz on the core and 2550mhz on the memory with fast timing and 1100mv, it's a bit conservative but it's still 7-8% faster than stock, which was already 5% faster than reference :D I was a bit confused by the RDNA3 software compared to that of RDNA1, but your video helped a lot!
@@AncientGameplays Out of curiosity, what is your max OC TimeSpy Graphics score? I managed 21063 with those settings I wrote, more than 3090 and 6900xt and not too far off 3090ti and 6950xt. I was getting 9950 with the 5700XT :)
You have become one of my favorite Tech YT channels, the way you explain it is clear and your editing/editor is great. Thank you and wish you the best!
Thanks for these videos, it's great to have guides like this from a professional creator. A lot of love to the hobbyists out there that also make guides, but it's a much easier experience when there's a proper script etc. By the way, as an AMD GPU owner I'd love to see the hotspot temps if possible on future videos. I'm sure others are curious as well.
Just wanted to say thanks as I was trying to get a stable 120fps in Warzone and before OC would drop to high 90s in some benchmark scenes during things like explosions. After following your OC it literally almost locked to 120 fps with it dipping to 114 only one time. Amazing improvement!
My best settings on Sapphire PURE: - 1030 mv - Freq set at 2640 (actual boost 2687) Go figure. - Set memory to 2620 (actual boost 2606) Hynix RAM - Power tuned at first, but above settings are good w/power settings set to off - Timespy w/intel 12600K @4.9 = 19,582 (using DDR4) Since not much FPS difference in games, I just use global settings, but fun to see what it would do.
The performance gains I have gotten from your videos alone are huge! Helped me all the way from doing 6600xt builds up to my beefiest build yet with a 7900xtx. Much love and thanks from BuddyBren!
hey fabio i know it doesnt get mentioned often but i really appreciate the effort you put into having a good sounding microphone (with the pop filter,eq and all) little details matter, keep up the good work!
Sou do Brasil, mas seu canal é tão técnico que traduzo tudo nas legendas pra não perder nada! Minha rx 7800 xt sapphire tá voando com suas configurações! Obrigado!!
Temps are so nice on the 7700 XT and 7800 XT. I have no idea how they are doing it. Well done AMD❤ . Considering they are so much more power hungry compared to the Nvidia cards which are efficient...
well, yes and no. The OC'ed AMD 7800XT goes up to 290W, the 4070TI can go up to 280W when overclocked as well. The 4070 is much more efficient than the 7700XT, hands down
@@clark98881 MIN Clock 2900 max clock 3000 power +15% voltage 1020 memory 2575 works well in all games except cyberpunk. in cyberpunk I bump voltage to 1080
I dont overclock my hardware but I do like to undervolt, my 5600X is currently undervolted and has been for a while. I used to undervolt my 6750 XT Red Devil and I have managed to undervolt my 7800 XT NITRO+ to 1020, seems stable in all my games so far.
Will be using this to help my brother OC his soon to come 7800 xt merc 319, the cooler should allow for some nice uplifts, also your video for the 7900 xtx helped a ton, I managed to get 34,035 pts in 3D Mark Timespy, which I believe is 4000 pts above reference avg, quite nice! Thanks for the tips brother
Very nice i have a saphire pulse 7800xt and a 7800x3d went from 200 fps furmark to 230 and the temps go down. In warzone capping 165 fps went from 59° to 55° in most cases very good. Thanks
@@cleversonhawison1233 i use 1440p bit now i keep it at stock because i have some errors in warzone.Now i keep it at stock but manual fans and "amd zero rpm" off, got temps 16 degrees lower.
this was the most convoluted card to overclock I have ever done. having said that I got a nice oc tho I OC on a game by game basis because the card don't run the same on every game.
Muito obrigado pelo Vídeo! Sai de uma Rx 6500 XT para RX 7800XT e agradeço pela ajuda! Comprei o modelo mais barato q foi da Dual da Asrock e achei muito boa a construção. E claro q fiz os passos como vc mostrou aqui.
So, I’ve had a RX 5700 for 4 years, I’ve never overclocked or undervolted it and quite honestly, didn’t often go into the gpu settings other than to update drivers out of sheer fear of ruining something I don’t know how to fix lol. I am very thankful for your video, it has helped me understand quite a bit as I’m new to this! Today I bought a 7800xt. I am trying to learn overclocking and undervolting so I can apply it. My question is, in this video, are you overclocking and undervolting at the same time? I was under the impression that you do one or the other. However, you seemed to use the word overclocking more than undervolting and I’ve seen quite a few things while researching saying undervolting is better so I’m a little confused on which one of these you did here. Regardless, I am very thankful for your video. This is the first I’ve seen of you and I’m absolutely going to continue watching you for tips. Thank you!
Ancient, so far the undervolt/oc is going good brother. I’m reaching 2755mhz at some times (in only 1 game I tried) second phase of testing I’m trying now VRAM tuning 2574mhz “fast timing” Voltage 1080mV Temps on gpu hotspot around 58 to 64c
@@justsomegyewhosellesthemus4791 it worked pretty good, but for some games the driver just crashed. And i dont want to optimize every game manually just for some lower temps and slightly better fps. Running stock rn
Hey thanks for the amazing guide I did got alot of crashes on darktide and helldivers and star wars battlefront 2 2017 when put the voltage from max voltage to 1080 and fixed the crashing on adrline you are amazing
I tried 3Ghz/2,6Ghz doesn't work for over a hour usually in games. But 2828Mhz/2526MHz for VRAM works perfectly for dozens of hours of gameplay (at 1,1V)
Between power saving and max oc is no real difference at all, max oc even lower FPS... I thing it's not worth the extra power consumption and much faster spinning fans... Power saving seems to be the sweet spot. Thank you as always :)
Preface this with I did NOT touch the powerslider at all. Asrock Challenger 7800XT OC Ryzen 7 7800X3D (all cores negative 20 offset) OC+UV settings: Min Frequency - 500Mhz Max Frequency - 2600Mhz (it boosts to ~2700Mhz) Voltage - 975mV Memory - 2512Mhz (Samsung Memory is only clockable to ~2500Mhz) Powerslider - 0% Massive temperature reduction, at 100% load pulls ~230W vs the OEM 263W, fans don't ramp anywhere near as bad, stability is questionable still but if this setup ran in Deadlock (beta game that's not optimized at all) and runs in First Descendent (resource HUNGRY, 100% GPU utlization AND ~50% CPU utilization), I feel I'm pretty safe. Those are the 2 most intensive games I have and they both ran 15+ degrees cooler
best game for me to stress- test gpu settings is new world. maximum heat, maximum power draw, maximum stress I have ever seen (especially in the rain about 200 meters north of settlement of mourningdale).
The thing is that not always the most stressful games are the best ones, since power tables are different, hence why I talked about AC Mirage and valhalla
excellent advices, as usual 👍 i guess vram overclocking is linked to greater power consumption and directstorage or alike techs. +100 mhz being sufficient, if stable......
Hey dude! So, I followed your video and on my Sapphire RX 7800 XT Pure (white triple fan) if I moved the vram clock to anything other than stock, I get black screen freeze, every other tunning you point out is fine. Just not the memory overclock, could these be the adrenaline drivers just screwing up? I have 24.1.1. Any help is appreciated.
I see this video and I skim through your other how to videos, I notice no video for the 7900 XT, unless I'm blind lol would really love one of those. I know I could figure it out eventually of I watch some of these but it's easier if it's specifically for mine.
Same principal to follow. Usually someone else's serving won't work best for you. Its best to take each item to the max crash then dial back slightly. And this let's you know how to do it. Not to much difference in values for the 7900 really close
Me watching this vídeo with a RX 6700 I tried these settings and its working so far. My PC build is pretty crappy not gonna lie. Up until now i was getting 19-25 fps on elden ring and was blaming the game not being optimized and then i blamed my PC bcs i literally have an old and used motherboard with an Intel i5. My fps is in the 50's range now. Settings are set on High
@@AncientGameplays Hey i also failed to mention my VRAM tuning only goes up to 2150 maxed and GPU tuning goes up to 2800. For GPU Tuning I just put it at half of what you have at 1500
Na minha rx 580, eu tive que liberar a corrente na bios, original era 120A e coloquei 155A (baseado na RX 590) estou rodando ela a 1502MHz de GPU e 8450Mhz de VRAM. A temp fica em 79° e consumindo 192W. O Modelo é uma Yeston. SIM... EU SOU DOIDO
Hey many thanks for the great tutorials and videos! Is there a possibility for a overclock and undervolt tutorial for the 7900 GRE? I would really appreciate it!
Using this over clock, average fps on cyberpunk on the benchmark with ray tracing ultra went from 55 to 62 which is a nice boost. Sapphire nitro+ 7800xt.
So at the end you have stock/power save/max performance. Which one is putting the most stress on the system? Max performance as underpower seems to be getting better results?
Compared to Vega settings, this is a walk in the park. Had a feeling something was off about the voltage slider on my 7800xt too. Thanks for explaining. Also what's the overwatch remix in the outro called?
"18:04 - AC: Mirage | Stock vs Power Saving vs Full OC" it's curious why max performance target is the slowest, the saving a bit faster and stock the faster. Opposite to HOwarts LEgacy beahaiviour, "17:04 - Hogwarts Legacy | Stock vs Power Saving vs Full OC". Also seen power saving setup drawing more power than stock or max depending on the test... can more energy be saved around 2.1 GHz clock? as 7x00M gpus run?
Easy, because as I said, in some cases the frequency is somehow still software's locked. with a 290W limit, the frequency should be hovering 2800-2900Mhz, delivering better results with Full OC...
@@AncientGameplays thanks for the explanation, now I understand better what you refer in your video as software driver limits...it's better having some stock limits being there so you can't keep crashing your gpu but it's a bit confusing that "target/offset/sliders that can go far from limits with no effect..." and voltage management is obviously good but tuning it is also a bit weird...thanks roughly speaking (all variables being equal) +15% TDP limit it may only produce around 5% perfromance increase if voltage needs to be increased a 5% to follow specs or be stable... while it may go to +15% perfromance if voltage can be maintaned (rough numbers) or around 3GHz, RDNA3 chips seem capable of going upwards 3.2 to 3.6 GHz at least by design and not being efficient but at the moement it seems a bit difficult even to reach consistently 3GHz as you say ( not a problem for me at all as I find the optimal efficient clock-voltage point more interesting zone to work in) mainly becasue of not avoidable sw limits...
Have an Asus RX 7800 XT 16Gb OC model and its been crash city since I got it 3 weeks ago.... Applied your exact settings anf tbqh it ran the best it has so far.. a goodr 40 minutes. I had overlay on checking the voltages, temps etc but suddenly out of nowhere (Playing Jedi Survivor) once again MAJOR PC FAULT... computer had total system crash.. th e PC, TV and XBox are all connected to a power stabilizer block which totally overheated (as it does regulrly since i installed this card) What can be causing this... I flashed my bios yesterday amd this particular rig is all AMD apart from Memory and PSU PSU: Gigabyte 750W Gold edition 16GB Ram K- Fury Board: MSI B55 Carbon Gaming WiFi CPU: Ryzen 5 3500 6 Core (Corsair Watercooling) Graphics: Radeon RX 7800 XT 16Gb OC Any thoughts as to why this is continuing to happen...? algunas sugerencias por favor me avisas hermano...
I've been testing my RX 7800 XT hellhound, I've set the core to 2831mhz and the vram at fast timing 2600 , set on 1080mv tested hogwarts legacy for 40 minutes no crash.
RX 7900xtx here.. & I can see 90% of OC/Undervolt videos have same major issues.. 1- 3000MHz is not achievable not even for 7900xtx.. unless U want 1080p (with high end cooling cards likr Nitro+..etc) so try to go to 2900 Max 2- Running anything below 1100mv will a crash on some games (dpends on the game engine.. like AC valhalla).. so don't go below 1100mv 3- Power Limit sometimes give U less fps.. some models already have high power stock.. giving it extra 15% means more electricity (more heat) & probebly U will lose high frequency when your card reach specific temps (new cards have a lot of readings & safety sensors).. do not go beyond 10% 4- Memory (VRAM) max safe frequency is 2650 (RX 7900/7900xtx) anything beyond 2650 sometimes means crash, artifacts, or lower performance
@ibm3302 check for 7800xt guides for more accurate Undervolt/OC But the main OC steps probably the same on any new card * Do not go beyond 10% Power Draw (more power = more heat) more heat means less frequency * Only use low Undervolt.. undervolting too much will make some games unstable.. so just reduce the MV by like 30- to 50-mv from max value
I have a PowerColor RX7800-XT, and had disastrous results trying to overclock it. Any changes to the VRAM speed would cause a lockup so hard that the only way to recover was to reset the computer three times so the troubleshooting menu would come up, then choose safe mode and use AMD's cleanup utility to completely remove the drivers, and then reboot and reinstall them. When I tried to undervolt, the system crashed and corrupted my Windows 11 installation, causing me to have to reinstall Windows from scratch, which takes several hours in my case. I'm running the GPU stock from now on. The extra five percent in performance isn't worth it. If you try to overclock this card, have the AMD cleanup utility on your hard drive so you can recover - and good luck to you.
Do you have a recent guide like this for the 7900 XTX? I know you made one months ago, but I'm wondering if it is still valid now that we've had so many driver updates since the 7000 series released. Would you be willing to revisit that?
@kiranyt775 yea thanks its working well but I do have another problem tho. I noticed that the fans are always starting at 37 degrees C with a 70% fan speed. I couldn’t control it with the fan tuning for some reason. Do know how to fix this problem?
I don't need to rise Min Frequency with ASRock RX 7700 XT Challenger OC it does boost fine to over 2800Mhz by itself, weird that You did have that problem with Your RX 7700 XT.
Tried undervolting and overclocking, then did them separately but each one would cause my GPU to crash when benchmarking on cyberpunk. I've got the XFX 7800xt, the performance is still great so I'm not complaining but just kinda lost why I can't do anything except the default without crashing.
@@AncientGameplays Hmm, I got an 850w corsair power supply, was recommended 750 so i went up the next step to be safe, but I'll try that though cheers for the fast response!
@@AncientGameplays Went back and increased things one by one, went from around 45 fps with ultra ray tracing to 49 fps. Think you could be right with the PSU, couldn't crank up the power limit past 10% without crashes. Cheers for the help!
I have a 7800xt sapphire nitro, I just want some help trying to understand what I should be looking out for when tuning the GPU voltage and the VRAM frequency I've gotten GPU voltage to 1060mV and VRAM frequency to 2584MHz, but I don't really know if I'm in any better of a position than when I started? As per video I made power limit to 15%, set fan speed a little lower, to 65% in my case, but yeah just unsure what i should actually be looking for/seeing. I don't have Hogwarts Legacy or either AC games, and I don't really want to buy them cause I'm not interested in playing them. Is there any free software to benchmark for me and to see if I'm actually seeing benefits? Hoping to then go and do my 7800x3d when I've sorted this
seeing rdna 3 struggle and use lot of power at high clock reminds me of rdna1, so i think rdna 4 or rdna3.5 on APU will fix that as Rdna2 imagine rdna4 with 120CU and 3ghz easily only draws 300watt
RDNA4 will definitely fix what RDNA3 did wrong, but RDAN3 isn't that bad specially on the top tier. the 7900XT for example, consumes less than the 6950XT and is faster (quite a bit in modern titles)
Thanks so much for the video! I’m currently using the Red Devil OC LE variant, and wanted to use your video as a starting point. Where or how do I start with figuring out if my card is capable of doing better, both for power efficiency and performance? What sliders do you recommend to test first? I play at 1440p
@@AncientGameplays Thank you, Fabio! I wanted to follow-up after using this for about a month or longer. I think it was not as stable for me as it was for you in the beginning. I notice on some startups, Adrenalin will revert back to default settings. However, I think with the November driver update made this impossible to run somehow and on every startup, Adrenalin will revert back to default settings. I even lowered the refresh rate on one of my monitors from 240hz to 120hz as I noticed a significant difference in idle power draw and wanted to test if that could be the issue. It still reverts back to default settings. I tried this without no change in fan speed %, no change on VRAM settings, and default wattage, giving each variable its own test. It still reverts back to default. Am I missing something or did I take a big L on the silicone lottery? I use 1 ultrawide 34" 144hz monitor and 32" 240hz (lowered to 120hz), both are 1440p. I mainly use my ultrawide when gaming. Please let me know what you think 🙏
First time trying to overclock anything. I ran the built in stress test with all the default stock settings (500/2485 MHz; 1150 mV; 2438 MHz VRAM), and my clock speed was between 2610--30. I'm not quite sure how the clock speed was greater than the max 2485. Upping the power limit +15% didn't change anything. I decided to try to overclock the VRAM first, starting with 2513 MHz. Now, the clock speed dropped to about 2500-10. You had mentioned there are some software limits, and I wonder if this is one, where if you overclock the memory, it won't let you use the full clock speed. Or is this just normal and an indication that not overclocking my memory just happens to be better performance than overclocking it?
What do you think about version the sapphire nitro+. Specifically 16GB version, is it worth overclock and undervolt? Or i need to look at it differently and give it a bigger boost when the graphics are already fast on their own.
What do you recommend most from your expierience?Power Saving or Max Performance? For my card in Timespy Power Saving stays around 295-300w and the Max Performance around 325-330w
For the power saving profile aside from 500/2600, you have it at 1080mV and for power limit do you have it at -10? Or leave it at 0? Thanks! I wanna focus more on wattage draw and temperatures but not lose much performance.
Hey Fabio: Now that there are more cards released in this series and you are more familer - any changes to what you original said in the 7900 xtx OC video?
Hey im going to bue next month a rx 7800 xt pure , and i will do your Overclock & Undervolt guid....... my psu is 650 so i will buy new , its ok a 850 wats psu or its sayfer to go to the 1000 wats?
Not sure if I just missed it but can someone explain the Power Savings vs Full OC at the end of the video? Is the Power savings one everything that was done in the video except the max GPU frequency was set down from base clock to 2600 (but the undervolt, VRAM, and power tuning all remained the same)? whereas Full OC is everything that was done during the video?
Regarding comparison with MSI afterburner, is it only my issue that I need apply profile with changes after every reboot? Also, is there a way (e.g. shortcut) to switch between profiles? E.g. I by default (not gaming or simple games) use undervolt profile and for GPU intensive games use less power efficient profile?
I have a question: recently i've changed my rtx 3060 for Asrock challenger 7800xt. my PSU is gigagbyte p850gm and was installed a year ago. If it is on stock settings it reboots pc with first short black screen and then in boots back to winodws 11. It happens even in less demanding games like Crab champions. Slight undeclock (from 2650 default to 2500) makes the card stable. Havent got a problem with rtx 3060. Temps are normal, have well ventilated case. So question what is given your expericence at fault PSU or GPU, that has a factory OC? Had the same problem years ago with HD 7850.
Hey, great vid for someone who never done oc stuff ! I am curious tho, what settings would You recommend to use on Corsair CS 550W? Im about to buy this GPU, giving up my old 6800 knowing the PSU was enough on it so should be good more or less here. I would like to undervolt it with minimal performance hit, so would You recommend to only change the voltage setting to 1080, or should i also configure other sliders? Thanks in advance !
