How to Overclock & Undervolt RX 7900GRE | ADRENALIN 2024 Easy Tutorial

hello guys and gameplays I'm Fabio Pisco and welcome to my channel as for today's video we have the how to overclock and under Vol RX 7900 gr which is previously a car that well which is a car that previously was only released for China uh and then was released globally as the let's say kind of the 7900 non XT upgrade your PC and in case you don't know this card has been unlocked in terms of vram overclocking in these drivers the 24.31 uh and while previously you could only go to a maximum of 2314 mahz which is basically 2300 MHz you now can go further but there are some catches and I'm here to explain you those catches one by one although we do have a thing that does not have any catch today sponsor today's video sponsor is gvg Mo you lots of software deals like Windows 10 Windows 11 office 2019 or 2021 with a new windows 11 design and for all of these you can use my skg discount code for 30% off getting a Windows 11 serial key for $22 and the Windows 10 1 for only 15 then use the key on your Windows settings and you'll have an activated system and just before going to the overclocking part let's just go to the important common questions [Music] this process won't break your GPU we are overclocking but we are also undervolting at the same time meaning that that even though that that we are increasing the frequency we are decreasing the voltage at the same time so if you're having slightly lower voltage or at least the same voltage for a higher frequency uh no your GPU won't break unless of course you have a time bomb instead of a PSU If instead of having a power supply you actually have a time bomb just there waiting to explode whoa right that's the Caps going then well then the issue might be the PSU but in terms of the process itself no it just won't break your GPU you can be assured of that there there won't be any issues regarding that even if the if some Brands wanted to prove that you overclocked they can't and I know that some Brands will tell you that if you overclock it will void your warranty but you can be assured they can't prove that you overclocked and even if your GPU breaks somehow you can just say well it was a power shortage and they can prove that it wasn't so you know what I mean even me that I'm overclocking 24/7 if I just go uh if I just pick my GPU if I had a broken GPU I don't have one nox wood but even if I did if I go to the shop I just go there take it my GPU just broke and they they would ask me well how did it break just broke I was turning on the computer and it just broke and they they cannot prove that wasn't the case and they will have to fix it okay so don't worry this won't V your warranty and you you are fine no it won't degrade your GPU well every piece of silicon tends to degrade over time that's how it works for CPUs gpus Ram everything that use well not Ram but everything that uses silicon will degrade over time that's how it works in terms of normal degrading maybe in five years you need to adjust the voltage a bit more in normal situations in five years of constantly using the card you maybe need a bit higher voltage and that's it and if you do this process well you'll most likely have the same process after some years after five six years maybe you need to raise the voltage a bit more for example on my RX 5700 XT sorry I actually needed to adjust 15 mols after like 4 years or something like that 15 M volts is basically nothing so no it won't degrade your GPU besides the normal degradation process of any GPU or any CPU now as for the overclocking part we're going to use as usual the AMD software since we do have overclocking inside the AMD software so why installing a third party software when you have well when you have it inside the software so all you have to do is right click on the button of your mouse on your desktop of course go to AMD software adrenaline Edition and open the software then you go to the performance tab that you see here in the top performance tab then you have the metrix tuning and settings and you go to the tuning tab or in this case the subtab just click on it and you'll be presented with usually the CPU and the GPU if your CPU does not appear here it doesn't mean that uh something isn't working or anything like that it just doesn't appear okay so you're completely fine on that maybe you don't have the chipset drivers installed but well let's just close this this and we have the GPU alone so we have the default the profile is the default the undervolt GPU overclock GPU overclock vram and these are the kind of the auto overclocking settings which are not that great because you can only undervolt overclock or overclock Ram uh one at a time while when doing it manually we can do all these three under volted GPU overclock the GPU and overclock the vram at the same time and that's why we do the manual tweaking then you have the tuning presets also with a quiet and balanced and you have the manual tuning which is the one that you want so click on the custom then you need to enable all the settings that you have here all the sliders so here Advanced control enable all the advanced controls as well enable vrm tuning Advanced control Power tuning fan tuning and this one doesn't really need the advanced control unless you really need to this model that I'm using think is the Nitro plus by the way uh so as for the the maximum fence speed I start already with 45% even with a zero RPM fan that I do not like to have enabled even then the temperatures are quite fine as you can see but still even in a cold environment well cold I must say like yeah 17° which is considered cold by some people um yeah the GPU temperature is without the fence speed 43 53 but I don't really like it so I disabled the zero RPM and with a zero RPM disabled you'll have better temperatures when idling which is normal of course because you have a fan spinning now as for the first thing that I advise you to do is go to the power tuning and once again this is the first and in my opinion the most important thing to do especially on the 7900 gr because this card is absolutely power limited and depending on the model you'll have different Power limits even without without messing with the slider even if you grab two different models and you go for example and you adjust the power limit to 15% two different models will have different Power limits for example the sapphire pulse version has a power limit of 290 wats while the Nitro plus since it is a different model has a power limit with the power slider adjusted has a power limit of 330 wat so 40 wats over the pulse Edition but once again going back to the slider the most important thing to me is just just go here and increase the power limit to the maximum you have if you have 15% increase it to 15% if you have five increase it to five and in different models you might actually have a different power limit slider some models will maybe show you 5% some others 10% and at least the pulse and the Nitro plus which are the ones that I tested show you a 15% limit so increase it to the maximum you can and once again this does not mean that the card will constantly be pulling the the power at the maximum what it means is that the card will use more power if it needs more power to perform better and that's what he won't because you want the car to perform better and just raising the power limit sometimes just raising the power limit to the maximum will allow you to to stop having stutters it's one of the most important settings because it will increase the power limit which will also increase the core frequency automatically which once again will make your card perform better and as for the Second Step let's start with the GPU tuning and like the RX 7700 XT this card is quite peculiar and I believe it's due to drivers the drivers are just meant to work like this if you look at the maximum frequency we are actually limited to to 2800 MHz instead of the usual 3,000 or even more than that and I I think that AMD does that in order to not cannibalize the GPU sales of the 7900 XT the same way they did with a vram while using lower quality bin VI Ram as well but that's another story and I do advise you on this card to use the maximum frequency at 2800 MHz because it will perform just much better so the first thing that you have to do is this but in almost every single card of of the 6,000 and 7,000 series nowadays I will advise you to have the minimum frequency at 500 MHz because it is the best thing that you can do although with the 7700 XD and the 7900 GR in some games even though you're not reaching the maximum power limit the the clocks just won't go over the 25 2600 megz even if you're not reaching your maximum power limit meaning that there's something stopping them to go further in terms of clock frequencies but what you can do is go here and increase the minimum frequency to 2703 MHz this setting will force the minimum frequency to stay at 2700 MHz or above that while you're not over your maximum power limit and we're running let's say 2500 2500 MHz sorry as soon as I apply these settings on the minimum frequency the card will go from 2500 to let's say 2700 MHz if it still is inside the the power limit let's say 290 wats it goes up to 2700 MHz or over that inside the power limit which would be 330 wats but imagine if the card is already at 330 Watts at 2500 MHz if you increase the minimum frequency the minimum frequency won't increase because once again you do not have any more power room in order to increase the frequency but if you have that room once again if you are not reaching the 330 Watts already and if you use the minimum frequency settings to 2700 MHz the minimum frequency or the current frequ frequency that you're having in that scenario will increase and the FPS will increase as well I've tested it several times and it increases the FPS as well so for both the 7700 XT and uh the 7900 gr this minimum frequency setting is a must as for all other cards set the minimum frequency to 500 MHz as for the voltage since the maximum frequency is also quite low for the rdna E3 standards we start with instead of 1200 molts usually 1.2 volts we start with a maximum of 1050 MTS well I found that with these settings in all games I can use as low as 10 10 [Applause] molts I could go as low as 950 molts in some scenarios but in some games due to the power tables well it just wouldn't work as intended so I needed to increase to 980 molts 980 molts would be well let's say 9 90% stable stable in 90% of games that's what I meant and as for the as for the other 10% of games it would crash after some time so I have to increase the voltage to 1,0 molts in order to otherwise I would be saying 101 10 10 and with this settings that you're seeing here right now with the settings on the coure and the power tuning it is 100% stable for me and I'm pretty sure that will be mostly stable for most of you users watching this video and remember that all cards are different because of the binning process even if you buy 10 Sapphire Nitro plus 7900 gr cards all those 10 cards will be slightly different uh one card can go as low as 1,0 molts the other card can just go for example to 1,40 in order to be stable the other one might might be able to go as low as 950 molts and be stable in all games it actually depends I advise you to start with 1 1,0 molts and then decrease for example to 1,000 test all your games or at least the heavier the heavier games and then a lighter game in order to test the different Power the different Power tables I wouldn't say tables but the different Power States that's what I meant if 1,000 molts is stable then go to 980 for example test once again if 980 molts is stable go to 970 and so on so on so on till you reach the minimum voltage that you can achieve stable and as as soon as you can achieve for example let's imagine that 9 950 is your minimum stable voltage if you can do this if it works for all your games then just go and increase 10 m volts in order to make sure that it is in fact 100% stable that's my opinion as for the vram tuning as I told you this is the very peculiar part the maximum that you could go on this card was 2316 MHz this was the maximum even if you push the slider to the maximum the maximum that you would have was 236 me mahz mahz um but anyway it's what it is now you can go as um well now you can go to 3,000 MHz but obviously you won't be able to achieve 3,000 MHz once again 236 mahz this was the previous bios and for me with these settings 23 16 MHz and you might ask why the 16 MHz all cards they have a slight offset in terms of frequency if you go if you want 2400 MHz you need to go and use 20 uh 244 or 2416 depending on the offset in order to get that round number that's basically what I do here and by the way if you're if you're seeing the ram tuning here and the card consuming 84 uh 84 Watts 22 38 MHz it's because I'm recording with a card in general occasions the vram tuning should be really really low the clock speed should be let's say 10 20 50 maybe a 9900 MHz maximum of vram vram clock speed um but it is at close to maximum in this case because once again I am recording and the power door should be much lower once again now you might ask well but what's peculiar about overclocking this card as for my settings I can go 236 MHz and go to the fast timings and if you are using fast timings you have lower latency and if you have lower latency it means that it takes less time to make one cycle and if you take less time to make those Cycles it means that you'll have overall better performance I can go to 246 MHz and I can still use the fast timings and it will work it will be stable but as soon as I go over this value even if I use 256 MHz with a fast timings I can use it and it will work but somehow I need to increase the core voltage and you might ask why increasing the core voltage if we are overclocking the vram because I believe the core voltage the voltage that you see here also controls the input and output that will also mess with the memory controller that's what I believe and I may be saying one of the most idiot things ever but I believe that's the case it also controls and messes with the memory controller because as soon as I increase for example the voltage to 10 30 molts with these settings 2500 MHz fast timings then it is stable in games and I can go even further if I decrease the the timings to default from Fast timings I can go up to 2600 MHz 2600 MHz will also work but once again I need to increase the voltage even further I need to go to the maximum voltage available for the core which is 10 50 mols and remember that the voltage that you see here is not the voltage that will be applied perfectly on your chip because you have a base voltage for each power State and this is basically just a slider that you use in order to offset so you have a base voltage for each power State and this works as a slider to make it offset lower or higher so the lower the voltage is here the lower the final voltage will be but won't be the exactly this voltage that you are selecting here just for you to know but going back to the vram I need to use the the voltage on the core at 1050 molts if I want to use the V Ram at 2600 MHz and I've tested it and you can see it on the end of the video that 2600 yeah isn't really worth it and some people actually say that this card is really bandwidth start so increasing w w Ram frequency will in fact increase the performance quite a lot well in a matter of fact it is true the the card is really bandwidth starve because uh rdna 3 needs more bandwidth to work properly and that's why we have 320 bit buzz on the 7900 XT and 384bit Buzz on the xdx while this one has 256bit Buzz the same as the 7800 XT but has way more computer units from 60 to 80 computer units so if you have more computer units you need more bandwidth to feed those computer units if well the scenarios actually uh actually ask for it but from what I've tested in gaming scenarios most gaming scenarios I even tested rate racing and some others the difference is really minimal and you are way way better with 23 16 mahz and fast timings because as soon as you decrease the vram frequency you can go lower on the core voltage and if you can go lower on the core voltage it will mean that it will use less voltage for the same frequency and if it will use less voltage for the same frequency it means that the card will consume less power and if the card will consume less power it means that you have more power room in order to increase the frequency and the card will increase the frequency further I hope I'm making myself clear but the lower you drop the voltage the more the clocks will rise inside the inside the same power limit so you are decreasing the FPS a bit on the vram but you are increasing them on the core voltage so it is really really interesting and I never saw a card like this not a single card on the R3 family at least the ones that I tested worked like this which is once again really really interesting also one thing that I noticed is that even though I could use anything over 23 16 MHz in all games and it would work as soon as I increased once again the core voltage it would work in games it would be perfectly fine no black screens no blue screens nothing no crashes it would work fine as soon as I was doing anything else anything different let's say just watching or some browsing on the Internet or just doing some editing anything over 26 236 mehz would make the card black screen from from time to time meaning that it wasn't entirely stable apart from gaming which is why I'm telling you to go with a 236 mahz and use the fast timings because the fast timings will also give you better performance slightly better and will allow you to in fact decrease the core voltage that will also increase the Boost frequencies on the core so overall the perform performance will be more or less the same as 2600 MHz but uh you'll have a much more stable system that's what I found out and well guys that's all for today's video thank you very much for watching as I told you this card is really really peculiar and we do need we do need to make some well some amends with ourselves in order to not punch the monitor while while doing the overclocking because things like this things like these um the black screens and so one will happen with this card if you are going over a certain vram frequency especially since this is the first driver where they unlock the vrm frequency so it might still have some issues thank you very much for watching if you have any doubts go to the comment section let me know what you think about um the video what do you think about the results what were your results with these cards if you were able to achieve lower voltage higher voltage if your higher vram frequency works perfectly without any kind of black screens if it is isn't stable for you just let me know because I really want to know your experience and if you have any doubts leave a comment in the comment section as well thank you very much for watching and see you in the next one and really any doubts leave them in the comment section because I or any other member of the community might be actually able to help which is always always positive thank you for members of the resistance report to your nearest intake facility immediately we promise nothing nefarious will Beall you we promise re assistance members report to the VIP section of your nearest intake facility for compulsory behavioral modification it will be fun keep [Music] running he's too fast we'll make it oh no the tower he's coming bloody brambles you're going too fast for me come on sorcery catch us hey slow down you'll exhaust our villain this is your Tower it's [Music]
