Great guide, my Rx 7900 XT settings are, Max Frequency = 104%/2956MHz, Voltage = 99%/1089mV, VRAM = 110%/2750MHz with fast timing and Power Limit = -8%. With these i don't have to worry about fps or stability with low power usage an low temps and yes i use the percentages, i find it to have more stability. Hope this helps anyone.

[@SDLNEXUS]

Top video, i have just spent several days working through and testing an overclock on a 7900XT watercooled by an Alphacool block and this will hopefully short cut the process for some. I would recommend jumping to overclocking the memory to it's maximum before starting the undervolting testing and working through each setting one by one , stress testing for gaming with something like the 3D Mark Stress testing suit (it's paid but if you survive all of those you can probably move onto the next setting) . As Ancient Gameplays noted in the video be a little careful on the core clock , you can usually keep going on this one and it remain stable, but it gives diminishing returns 3058 was where it started to tail off on my GPU, so 3000 is a good mark. Likewise 1040mv was the lowest 'stable' undervolt i could get - it will go lower but with thorough stress testing it would fail. For the memory i could get stable at 2818 , which is huge , but the card is also watercooled which helps and even with aircooling i had a good idea the memory had a lot of headroom. Great way to get a lot more bang for the buck out of a great card

[@kev6979]

Wow seriously thank you! Im not exactly smart when it comes to these high end GPUs so this was a massive help. Especially raising the power limit to 15, I can genuinely see a difference with my performance. I don’t know why the card automatically comes with a garbage fan curve and power limit set to 0 out of the box. But thank you

[@Hallow334]

You are my hero! I just got my XFX RX 7900 XT 2 days ago and I thought to myself, "Self! I bet Ancient Gameplays has a video on how to overclock and undervolt my 7900 XT". Being that I watched and learned from your video on how to over/under my previous RX 6750 XT, I felt it was a safe bet! In all seriousness, thank you very much! I've been a fan of your channel since I first found it in October of '23. Keep up the great content! BTW, I think your English is good! Edit: I have a question. My VRAM timing is consistently at 2586Mhz (when max is set to 2600 Mhz) if I am watching a youtube video. Should it be this high? If I scroll off the video into the comments section, the speed goes done to 909 Mhz. As soon as I scroll back up to the video, it goes right back to 2586 Mhz, even if the video is paused. I changed the max freq to 2500 Mhz and it would down go to 2487 Mhz and stay there whether the video is playing or is paused.

[@AncientGameplays]

it shouldn't, try the 24.5.1 drivers in case you're using the 24.6.1 (these ones aren't that great)

[@Hallow334]

@@AncientGameplays That worked! Thanks so much!

[@Hallow334]

@@AncientGameplays I spoke too soon. While the VRAM speed is no longer riding at 2487 Mhz, it is now at a constant 909 Mhz. I did read on the AMD forum of several people that have had this problem and I did not see a resolution for it. Should I send the card back? I did see the price for the XFX RX 9700 XTX dropped to $869 for Amazon Days. That's only $169 more than I paid for the 7900 XT. Then again, people that have the XTX are experiencing this problem as well. I never had this issue with the RX 6750 XT I had before this one.

First of all let me just say that I love the fact that you put random meme's in the video. It always cracks me up xD Second of all thanks for this video!! I picked up a 7900xt after my 7800xt turned out to be a little too weak for 4k gaming, so this video is absolutely welcome :))

​@@CatalinIulianPopescu Gddr6 can run safely upwards of a 110c but should be kept at or below 95c. Of course lower is almost always better for life span and stability. So your 80c is completely ok

@@P0PL12 But why is he lowering the fan percentage when overclocking? For noise reduction?. I am a little confused

[@P0PL12]

@@CatalinIulianPopescu Yeah that is likely the case, many people don't like the fan noise so they limit the fan speed. The default curve also isn't great as it caps pretty low on the total speed.

[@MrDarksturm]

I wanna say to you that you are a truly lifesaviour: I was having random PC reboots for three weeks in a row because I was testing my Powerhound 7900 XT undervolting, and the problem was that I was reducing the clocks along with the voltages (like 2600 MHz with 1025-1050 Mv, so I misunderstood how undervolting works) and that seems to be the problem. Now, I am using 2900 Mhz with 1050 Mv (with +15 % power limit ofc) for 5 or 6 hours more or less and the problem seems that is gone. Now I have a question: I hate listening the fans spinning with high revolutions too, but if the temperature reaches high temps (70+ degrees) I think that will start to have fps drops. Have you ever tested that in RDNA3? Keep working with your amazing videos!

[@AncientGameplays]

You won't have fps drops (unless you VRAM temps are too high), but you might need a better case airflow too. Glad I could help!

Nitro+ model for 7900xt is kinda overkill Fun fact: 7900xt & 7900xtx coolers are 99% the same in terms of copper/aluminum (ventilation design), only power circuit is different So, getting any cheap 7900xt will result in cool 7900xt even if U max OC But OC some lower-end 7900xtx, will result in warm card (around 7c more compared to 7900xt)

[@miha1999grobar]

@@Jack_Sparrow131 Except nitro 7900xt is the only 7900xt fed power through 3 8-pins and it has a higher power limit giving it more OC headroom

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

@miha1999grobar that 3 of 8-pin is overkill.. 7900xt mostly bottlenecked from circuit board design & safety regulations, not the power cable 1 cable of 8-pin = 300w max (counted as 150w to 200w for safety masserues) So, in theory, 2 of 8-pins can handle up to 600w max (500w at worst case scenario) Am using 7900xtx Pwercooler Hellhound (use only 2 of 8-pins) and its reach up to 415 OC) with sudden 1 sec draws around 450w Even 7900xtx models will only benefit from 3 of 8-pin cables only in max OC in thr high end models like Nitro+ which reach 460w

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

@@Pinozzo Nitro+ cards are meant for high OC, $50 to $100 price different than common cards means U will push higher OC overall thanks to great card design But even Nitro+ high OC needs a small undervolt to get around more 70MHz more or less So, use the same avg tune, only golden silicon lottery will result in slightly better OC (Nitro+ models mostly uses slightly better silicone picked from the manufacture) at least compared to their Pulse model which use avg samples.. or that what people were claiming in past 5 years

[@Lerppu86]

I do own RX6900XT and RX7900XTX and i loving them. But! in Adrenaline edition i dont understand AMD logic to put core and mem tuning behind 2 tabs. First tab unlock slider scalers to 0-100... From what to what?! like wtf?! you have to also click advanced control to see exact frequencies. That "basic" tuning option without telling the actual frequencies is completely unnecessary and stupid. Loving your content, you are doing a good job!

[@jakuborban6357]

compared to my older asus tuf 6900 xt, I indeed do some things differently for my sapphire nitro 7900 xt. I very much agree to: power limit to max +15, minimum gpu frequency 500. but what I do - and this is my recommendation - to create profiles. because every game behaves differently in terms of max frequency and power draw and I must stay under the TBP limit of my gpu board!! so my approach is: * fan tuning: disabled (both tuf and nitro did/does a fan-tastic job, no need from my side to tune) * power limit enabled: +15% * vram tuning: enabled, advanced control enabled, max frequency 2750 * gpu tuning: enabled, advanced control enabled, min frequency 500, voltage ("offset") 1015 the voltage I found for my card in this way: I started with ~1070 (which was the min for my old 6900 ;-)) and played games for ~2 weeks. if stable, I decreased by ~10mV. a.s.o. now 1015 I'm a year with and actually I don't bother going further down. I had some crashes with lower values but due to the games? or due to the excessive undervolt? I don't know. that is why stopped and stayed at 1015. which is perfectly stable. and now, , I start to figure out what is the optimal max frequency. questions to me: A) do I want to save power (because game is old, has anyways very high fps)? B) do I want to have higher fps? for A) I start with 600 (but the card usually does not go below ~1300) and increase until I'm satisfied. for B) I start with 2500 and observe. when going with higher max frequency, I'm observing whether I get TBP spikes of / above 350W. if so then max frequency is the limit resp I go a bit down. the TBP of my nitro is 368W or so. and once I start getting spikes to this power limit, the fps start tanking very much very fast -> not good. (apropos, never ever managed 3000 mhz. I don't understand how you guys get good performance in games and 3000 mhz setting ;-)) I play on my oled 4k@120hz (usually @10bit hdr). my cpu is an older 5950x. my psu is "be quiet! Straight Power 11 Platinum 750W". had no coil whine ever. neither with my old asus nor with the newer sapphire. my case fans were always louder than the GPUs. 😀 for example, I play alan wake 2 with max 2650 frequency. there I'm around TBP ~350+w usage. hope this helps you guys. thanks fabio for the video 👍👍

Hey great explanation quick question i have a xfx 6900xt could you recommend the settings for that card too? Thanks

[@jakuborban6357]

​@@mohamad.h4300 i had an asus tuf 6900 xt. to that time my focus was max efficiency. i had fan tuning off, power tuning off, vram tuning on, fast timings and 2124 mhz, gpu tuning min/max 2250/2350 and voltage 1060. with that i was playing tw3 with ~245w tgp and 4k/100-120 fps. but unfortunately there was one scene where the gpu crashed repeatably. i needed to go to 1070mV which has added some 10w tgp. cyberpunk 2077 was even more volatile but also more buggy to that time (game&drivers).

Appreciate the video! After much experimenting, I settled on the exact same settings, except I can push down to 1020 mV on 2500 mhz.

Great video, very well explained, super helpful, repeating messages is a sure fire way of getting through and highlighting its importance. Your second language is better than some who speak it natively.

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

In fact.. there is 1 more option U didn't mention.. people call it light to medium (super stable on all models) Max freq: 2900MHz / Volt: 1100mv / Memory 2650MHz / Power: depends on your model, don't go beyond 400w max This will result getting 8% out of the 12% of 460w max OC, so U still get 8% more fps for 15% less power (win-win situation) Max OC is 2 much.. especially for 7900xtx (max go up to 460w) which result in high heat inside PC (might hurt your inner components) This also works with 7900xt models.. do same thing, but don't let the power go beyond 350w for 7900xt models Note: going to 3000MHz will result in some unstable games (depending on the engine) in 90% of scenarios,of GPUs barely reach 2750MHz in 4K & 2850MHz in 1080p, so trying to reach 3000MHz will only work with top end cards like Nitro+ with max 460w + only in 1080p & below Leave a reply & I might answer any question regarding the AMD GPUs.. am kinda expert in their OC/UV..etc, best luck to AMD cards fans

[@AncientGameplays]

I mean, going to 3000MHz won't be unstable in most scenarios as in 90% of them you won't reach that frequency at all, and if you do you only need to tweak the voltage. 2900MHz with 1100mv is kinda worse as your slider voltage is higher. The rest is exactly as I stated. Also the XTX and XT models work a bit differently on the 2900MHz mark (my XTX uses 3GHz no issues)

[@Jack_Sparrow131]

@@AncientGameplays 3000MHz won't be stable for 400w max OC (7900xtx models).. while 2900MHz will be super stable overall 3000MHz will need minimum 430w & beyond 7900xtx avg models uses 2 8-pins cables, which never goes from 400w to 415w, only those 3 8-pins cards can get stable 3000MHz, for 7900xtx models at least 7900xt is ok to go with 3000MHz with 2 8-pin cables since they never reach beyond 390w

[@NulJern]

@@Jack_Sparrow131 i have nitro+ xtx and i only game in 4k and it all depends on the game you're playing, i have individual profiles for my games and some games i can go with max frequency of 3117 and HWinfo reports the card to go above 3200, but it's not good for the power usage, and even if it is stable in all my games it does not benefit in all scenarios, it will go above 550w according to HWinfo, but only in 1 specific game.. However most games work better with lower frequencies and it is also better for the power usage, which is anything from 400w to 475w at lower freq, and i don't worry about heat, it is only air cooled in a small fractal torrent compact case with no exhaust fan, but card keeps cool and i have only seen it go to 72 degrees at the highest in summer, and i'm sure it will not hurt any inner components lol.

Hey fabio, thanks for the video. Because there was no particular video from you for 7900xt, i understood the concepts from other videos of 7900xtx and 7800xt and had undervolted my pulse 7900xt a month ago. Used 500/2400 and 2664 vram frequency. Its stable and i never go above 255 watts power draw.

[@Olofberglund]

Thank you for this video! EDIT: Oh, I guess we both have the Samsung chips on the 7900 XT and my results seem in line with yours. Since I had already written the text below, I'll post it for others to take part of my experience. I have a question that puzzles me a bit. I have the TUF Gaming 7900 XT OC and I struggle to get artifacts from OC. This sounds like a great thing but no. The thing is that I have intermittent restarts when i OC the VRAM above the OC VRAM preset (2650 MHz, which unfortunately is only 6% over stock while some seem to be able to go as far as 2800 Mhz??). No artifacts or performance loss (which I've come to expect after watching other OC videos). The highest I've been able to stress test it with is 2850 MHz on the VRAM and then it can be stable for 30 min or more and then suddenly crash and restart with no or minimal load (e.g. youtube). Also, it seem like once I have a crash/restart it is more prone to crashing over and over again on lower frequencies that previously seemed stable from stress tests. I've stress tested the GPU with OCCT too since I suspected it could be insufficient power (Got Seasonic Focus GX 850W though) but according to OCCTs "last log entry before crash" the max power was no where near maximum power draw,

[@Olofberglund]

Also, I was surprised to see you're running the fan at 23%! I usually run it with max 50% or 60%. 23% sounds a bit scary, even with my well vented Lian Li 216.

[@devjitdutta5670]

@Fabio…do you use any Sapphire Cards? Recently I downloaded Trixx and found a nifty feature called Trixx Boost which allows you to create a custom resolution & upscale from that. For 1080p & 1440p monitors I found that 90% is the sweet spot and then use RSR to upscale the image. For 4K the sweet spot is 85%. It nets you around 20-25% boost in fps without sacrificing visual quality unlike native RSR that I find affecting the visual quality and producing artifacts. If possible can you do review of it? And once again bro thanks for all the efforts you put into making these videos for the fellow Radeon users.

[@DarkLOLable]

Mine is running at a max frequency of 2156 MHz and 990 mV. The performance drop was ~4%, but the power consumption decreased by 34%. With only 230 W of power consumption, I think it's absolutely worth it.

[@majkrzisnik5315]

Hi mate, first of all thank u for such an amazing and detailed video. I just upgraded from rx6700xt to Sapphire RX7900XT Pulse and I couldn't be happier. Because of this GPU I also became interested in overclocking. I am planning to run triple monitor setup 1440p (144 or 165 Hz) for my sim rig and I use R7 7700 (non-x) I have one question, would i see any benefit to go to R7 9800X3D from my R7 7700 when I plan to play on 7680x1440 resolution (3x 1440p monitors)? I am asking since cpu's mostly matter at higher FPS (so 1080p), while I will be ruuning more pixels than 4K monitor.

[@CrashPilot1000]

I was farting around with my 5600xt in that OC menu half a year ago, and it does not have that amount of settings presented here (obviously) but there are some observations I want to share. Automatic undervolt returns a mV number you can write down as the lower limit, and OC Ram returns the top MHz value and you write it down as well, so you have some limits to work with when doing the manual optimization or even OC. In a mix you will not get those values but they can be helpful. Settings per game are useful. I can play the whole day long BF2042 with a low core voltage but COD will freeze with that within a couple of minutes - so I have a profile with more mV for that game. If you play a specific game a lot it helps finding the lowest mV with a little bit of OC to keep the card cool and save something on the electric bill :) . Another thing that helped my 5600xt was to disable the ULPS in Msi Afterburner (you have to do it once and restart the system, re do it when upgrading the AMD driver). Especially with the Vulcan API in WWZ I had strange FPS drops (in game Benchmark) that are gone with ULPS disabled. That does not mean that the 7900xt has the same issue or solution it def works on my 5600xt. Hope that stuff I wrote makes some sense somehow.

Not every memory chip in the card will be able to achieve the same clocks necessarily, so it may be that certain Vram clocks will be stable when running a game that only requires 8GB, but not when running a game that uses 12 or 16Gb.

[@bluej511]

Great video Fabio, im on water and that power increase for little performance just isn't worth it for me. It already performs so well with SAM enabled. On my v64 i did OC my HBM memory and that made a massive difference. I may undervolt for summer months though that doesn't seem like a bad idea.

[@AncientGameplays]

Yeah, the power saving profile is generally good

[@Shinzo1741]

the video i've waited for months.on air now.

[@jocerv43]

Limiting the core clock is insane with the wattage, at 2500 vs 3000 wattage dropped a solid 80-90 w with minimal difference to fps

[@AncientGameplays]

Exactly

[@jessehill3780]

Perfect timing I just got my 7900xt and been dialing it in. So far I got 2900max frequency, 1070mv (was stable for most stuff all the way down to 1000mv but then crash so working my way back down), mem at 2700. Card is quite impressive. Waiting on my gpu block and then I’ll try the higher freq and work down the voltage. I’m not sure what memory the power color uses but I had it really high in heaven (like 2800) and still couldn’t see any artifacts but I wasn’t too comfortable with that so dropped down to 2700 and figure that’ll be enough.

[@clintonleonard5187]

Thank you. So much bad information out there, but this video finally got my card to be cooler and not crashing anymore. Thank you so much.

Glad I could help! Be aware thst you might need a better psu, watts alone don't matter much

Still have my 5700 XT as my daily - don’t want to ditch my AM4 yet. Should I go for 5800X3D & 7800 XT or full upgrade to 7800X3D & 7900 XT (and other AM5 components)?

If you're happy with what you have, I'd wait, as new components are releasing towards the end of the year. It's my plan at the moment, though I am using a 7000 series.

Wow, thx Fabio! I was definitely one of those annoying kids 😅 Very much appreciated! Muito obrigado! 🎉

[@Overminder]

I liked it but you didn't mention the profiles you can set up per game and that you can export/import profiles. So you can do like slower power saving profiles for some older games and keep the global one for the rest. And if it crashes and resets all settings the import function is very handy. Especially with a custom fan curve that took time to make.

[@AncientGameplays]

I mean, i've done dozens of videos stating that and I do talk about the profiles in the end

I have mine OC'd at 500/2955MHz @ 1025mV | 2650MHz | Power Limit +15%. I mainly play @ 1440p resolution and have it paired with a Ryzen 5 7600. A negligible bottleneck and 4K resolution is just within reach. I find that 2955 is the sweet spot for my system as I never reach 3000MHz during gaming. I would greatly appreciate your opinion. Also, have you considered sharing your thoughts on static overclocks vs PBO vs stock with AMD CPUs? As always, thank you for the awesome content!

[@DaveTheeMan-wj2nk]

When I had the 7900 xt this was around what my OC was funny enough lol. Enjoying the GRE atm. Only issue, which was the same issue I had with the 7900xt. Is my sound sometimes goes in and out. I'm using them via Hdmi to a 60htz tv. Wonder if that could be the issue? Wasn't too hard a fix tho, I just bypassed the card its self for sound and used the motherboards sound via digital out. Still annoying tho. Odd how something like that still hasn't been addressed. Or, perhaps my case is so minimal that it didn't warrant a fix. Either way, all is well.

So i have the XFX 7900 xt merc 310. He says to set it to 3000 clock but what i notice is that at 3000 the hotspot in games gets insane like 85c for no reason so i set it to 2850ccklock, volt 1030 and memory 2814 and my temps dropped to the 60/65c with less then 1 fps drop. there is no more you can get in fps IN GAME not Benchmarks after 2850 core clocks all you get it is 1 fps and 15c in higher temps. But like i said be benchmarks are much different then in game.

Hotspspot at 85C is not insane, it is actually normal my friend

I have a XFX 7900xtx and obviously might be different but with the power limit I find little performance gain for -15٪ vs +15% maybe 10fps but massive power draw difference , this is with Assetto Corsa Competizione... it seems odd.

[@AncientGameplays]

That's because you're cpu bottlenecked and the card raises clocks to compensate that and give extra frames I guess

[@easybreeze1]

@@AncientGameplays understood... thanks, I'll be sure to test with a game (track) which isn't so cpu heavy.

What about the 7900XTX ? On mine with max 45% fan hotspot gets way too hot at 100C+, and 1040mV isn't stable, can't really go below 1090

[@NulJern]

if you want to lower hotspot temp you should lower your max frequency and keep mV as low as possible so 1090mV. but hotspot max temp is 110, so you're good at 100..

[@jel3726]

Great guide thank you, do you have any recommendations for coil whine ? On warhammer space marine 1 very noisy as over 400fps, so if i use radeon chill and restrict it to 240fps or lower it is fine but other more intensive games need limiting to 144 or lower or coil whine is noticeable, if i restrict gpu mhz to 2000 the coil whine disappears but then so does the performance, trying to find a balance to have 240hz fps globally with no coil whine, perhaps i just need to set it game specific instead, only just got the hellhound 7900xt and it is a great card, perhaps i.just need to play around more with power limit, volts, mhz and frame limits to find the sweetspot, performance is way above what i have before, so dont need extra fps, just want same fps, less watts and no or very little coil whine

Lower volts and p.draw usually mean less coil whine. Especially if your card model is lower end

At 21:40 on the undervolted part the game show a little flash, it occours when the power isn't enough. With AMD Navi Cards, you can have better results in lower resolutions but if it flash in 1080p it will crash on 4k.
