How to OVERCLOCK & UNDERVOLT RX 7900XTX | ADRENALIN 2023 Easy Tutorial

today's video sponsor is we're using my skg discount code leads to a 25 off across several products making a Windows 10 serial key only 16 after the payment you'll receive the key in your account and all you need to do is to introduce it in your Windows settings and back you have an activated system hello guys it's okay Blaze I'm Fabio Pisco and welcome to my channel so as promised I bring you today the the overclocking and undervolting guide of the RX 7900 XTX okay I took some time to make this video because I actually tried to figure how this card works properly in terms of boost clocks uh in terms of the of the actual performance of the of the Boost clocks because sometimes having higher boost clocks or higher core clocks doesn't actually mean that you're gonna have more performance in most scenarios it does but not in all scenarios so we still have lots of things to do and I like I told you I tried to figure out to figure it out the car and that's because I do not want to teach you things that I actually don't know I'm teaching you what I know I'm teaching you what I know from experience from testing and so on that's basically what I do on my videos okay now let's go for the common questions common questions the first question is will this break the warranty of my GPU no it won't although the companies like Nvidia and and Intel or even maybe AMD can tell you that overclocking your GPU will actually avoid the warranty no it won't the first thing is that is I can't actually prove that you overclocked at all they can't well they can prove that I overclocked because I have videos about it but even though the stores that I bought where I bought the car can't actually prove that I did it uh because I don't even know my channel because it's not even in Portuguese um but overall the store can't prove that you overclocked or undervolt the car okay the card undervolting is actually the opposite since you're reducing the voltage so you're actually extending the life of your GPU and so on so on so on anyway the second common question is will this break my GPU well no if this was actually to break your GPU I wouldn't be making a video about it and I wouldn't have like dozens of videos of the how to overclock in under Volta 6950 XT 6800 6700 xt6700 RTX 3050 30 60 and 3070 okay if something happens while you do this well it's either one of the two two the first one you may have a defective PSU okay you may have a defective PSU that may actually burn when you try to push more power through it it's a thing that may happen although it is very very rare to happen um and the second one is that well you may have an effective GPU okay and it will break because it was already defective and it may break although these situations are very very rare okay you may have a system crash but after you just reboot your computer everything will be fine the settings will be reset um and everything will be fine so no worries at all and the third common question is will this work on my GPU I have a GPU from a different brand let's say uh I have the rest the reference card from Sapphire but you have one from XFX you have an aib model from XFX you have for example the the sapphire Nitro you have the sapphire pulse you have the the it doesn't really matter the model okay as long as it is a 7900 xdx this tutorial applies it doesn't matter if your cooling is from XFX from Sapphire from Power color if you have the Red Devil the hellhound it doesn't really matter once again as long as it is an RX 7900 XTX this tutorial applies now let's finally go to the overclocking part as usual I'm going to use the AMD adrenaline software I can use indeed DMS After Burner but the adrenaline software just lets you do just just lets you do more things uh and way easier than the MS After Burner for example doing uh an undervolting is way way easier and much simpler on the AMD Radeon software than on the MS After Burner uh so radiant software is the way to go definitely so go to your um to your Windows desktop right click on your mouse and you have here the AMD adrenaline software okay just click on it and the performance tab will open okay I already have my overclocking settings but this should look like this default okay you go down if you have a 7000 series CPU and a 7000 series GPU both will appear on the software as for now I'll just leave the the tuning of the GPU okay so this will appear like this you have the default under volt GPU overclock GPU overclock vram and then you have the tuning presets of quiet balanced rage and custom now the undervolting GPU the overclocking GPU or the overclocking view Ram features well they kind of work to some extent but overall they won't work as good as the the manual overclocking okay the manual overclocking takes more time obviously because you have to fiddle with settings you have to tweak them but overall um they are they actually bring much more gains in terms of power saving in terms of performance than the actual automatic settings okay so let's go here to the manual tunings and select manual tuning sorry and select guest then you have several things like GPU tuning vram tuning the AMD smart Access Memory make sure to leave it enabled the fan tuning and the power tuning first of all we need to activate every single single slider that we have here so GPU tuning Advanced control enable vrm tuning Advanced control as well fan tuning in here we don't need the advanced control unless you want to make a fan curve and then the power tuning okay for tuning okay everything seems right then you hit apply now the first thing that we we want to go into is the power tuning most likely because these cards the rdna3 cards kind of work um differently from the rdna2 ones okay they work differently in some scenarios but even more in terms of power draw usually uh the rdna 2 and the rdna3 cards they will they will work better as soon as you raise the power limit because they will boost slightly higher but in the case of the rdna3 gpus well it makes a lot of difference actually so the first thing that I actually want to do is to raise the power limits to the max you can okay if you have 15 raise it to 15 percent uh if you have 20 raise it to 20 it will depend on your GPU model for example if you have an aib model let's say like the Red Devil the hellhound you'll most likely have like 20 or 30 percent um over the power limit okay but 15 usually is more than enough but if you have more put it more because you'll get more performance now this doesn't mean that your card will automatically no in this case it means okay now if you just if you just increase the the power limit on the rdna3 cards it is actually different from the rdna2 cards because on the rda2 cards even if you raise the power limit to the max it wouldn't mean that they would consume more power it just means that they would consume more power if they needed more power to perform better okay on the rdna3 cards at least so far with these drivers it is quite different because as soon as you increase the power limit without tweaking the settings it will be always and almost always at 400 watts power draw okay the normal limit of 10 of 0 is 350 Watts as soon as you go to 15 it will go to 400 watts okay so it will automatically be at 400 watts as soon as you do this if you just do this but in our case we're going to do this plus some tweaking and that means that it won't be at 400 watts all the time and in some case scenarios it will perform equal or better um with way less power draw okay that's where the undervolting kicks in so the first thing you want to do is to raise the power limit in order to not constrain your performance after the tweaked settings okay as for the max fan speeds I like to leave them for example at 50 percent because at 100 they sound like a jet engine and so far my temperatures are good so 50 it is as soon as we hit summer I'll most likely increase it to 60 or 65 percent maybe but for now in the winter 50 or even 45 percent is more than enough now let's go to the to the GPU tuning on the core frequencies now this is where things get interesting and boring for some once again these cards the rdna3 cards work quite differently from the rdna2 cards on the rdna 2 cards you would do something like this you would leave it at let's say if the the max frequency is 2900 I would leave it at 2800 and 2900 so 2800 minimum frequency and 2900 maximum frequency with 100 megahertz being 100 megahertz apart because that would lead to the better performance overall unless you have some issue of power restraint um in this case on the Arden A3 things are different because on the rdna 2 usually the cards would be almost in all scenarios at their Max frequency or close to as soon as you increase the power tuning on rdna3 cards well at least on the xdx things are quite different instead of having let's say 200 megahertz difference we can go up to 600 megahertz difference of boost clocks depending on the game for example if you go to Assassin's Creed Valhalla even at 1440p the GPU will boost to 3 gigahertz because the game consumes well as power than the others if you go for example for plague tail at 1440p the card will be boosting at around 2.5 gigahertz so we're talking about 500 megahertz difference okay and what I found with these cards is that if you want the maximum performance you can get in all scenarios you must choose a minimum of 2400 megahertz and a maximum of 2900 megahertz so depending on the load on the on the GPU low that the card has the frequency will go from 2400 to 2900 megahertz in the lighter games for example in lower resolutions or lighter games it will boost up to 2900 megahertz but in the heavier ones it won't go below the 2400 megahertz usually a bit higher than that that's how these minimum and maximum frequency sliders work now as for the voltage the maximum I can decrease in the software is from 1150 to 11 30. I was using 1120 before but 1120 would actually um would actually crash in games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla where the Boost actually goes up to three gigahertz or 2900 megahertz in this case so I actually needed to increase 10 millivolts in order to have a stable system once again voltage on the rdna 3 cards is quite different because the voltage you apply here isn't the actual voltage that the GPU will use it just means that um it will get slightly lower voltage than when using the 1150 millivolts so it will increase depending on the on the frequency that you have a certain frequency has a certain voltage base and then that base can actually be slightly modified with a voltage slide slide that okay if you decrease the voltage on the voltage slider the voltage base will also get lower or higher depending on what you want and that's how the intervolting works on this card it it may seem quite confusing but it actually isn't so you have a bolt a voltage base for each frequency you select and then you can decrease That Base voltage by decreasing the voltage slider okay that's basically how it works and well after this boring explanation once again the the best performance settings that I found are these ones minimum of 2400 maximum of 2900 with 11 30 millivolts once again all cards are different okay all cards I may I may for example buy 30 Sapphire RX 7900 xdx reference models and all the 30 cards will perform slightly different your card may need lower voltage than mine does or your card may need higher voltage than mine does okay all cards are different once again but you can use these settings as a base you go 2400 2900 and you start with a maximum voltage of 1150 millivolts you test games if it is completely fine if it works fine for you no crashes let's say after 20 minutes then you go here and decrease to 11 40 millivolts if you go once again and you have absolutely no crashes you decrease once again to 11 30 millivolts and so on till you reach your minimum stable values if you are playing some games and somehow have crashes then you go here and increase once again 10 millivolts and see if that fixes the issue or not okay that's how we work now in terms of other settings we have other settings if you want I discovered that if you want to play uh on a on a minimum power draw that you can get uh while still having close to equal or in some cases even better performance than stock you can use 2300 megahertz with a maximum of 2400 megahertz and the voltage at 11 20 millivolts these are the settings that I found to be the best in terms of power saving in some cases we can save up and I repeat we can save up to 100 Watts you can see this video about the power tuning uh because these settings the 2300 to 2400 megahertz can actually deliver pretty nice results in some scenarios it will bring the same performance as stock uh with way lower temperatures and of course way lower power draw okay these are the power saving settings in some cases lower performance in most cases equal or better with less four draw if you want the the best the best performance per watt settings that I found them to be 2400 2500 millivolts once again again at 11 20 millivolts because like I told you before this is just the offset slider and the real voltage will be based or at least the base volt voltage will be based on the frequency that you select so we keep the 11 20 millivolts and then we go to a minimum of 2400 and a maximum of 2500 okay these are the best performance per watt settings the voltage is still usually usually depending on the game but usually lower than the stock settings while delivering quite better performance so it's a win-win situation in almost all games so that's nice as for the vram it is actually pretty simple as for the vram we have a base clock speed of 2500 megahertz basically give it or take it 20 megahertz less and I found that 2700 megahertz is The Sweet Spot okay 2700 megahertz you may be able to go higher or you may not even be able to reach 287 megahertz 2700 megahertz but in most scenarios let's say 90 of people will be able to achieve 2 700 megahertz on the vram okay in order to achieve those same 2700 megahertz you need to give an offset of 14 megahertz so instead of selecting 28 700 megahertz you select 2740 megahertz which have the offset of 14 megahertz in order to deliver the exact 2700 megahertz in games uh don't ask me why AMD actually has this offset it makes no sense to me but they do so you have to select 2700 27 40 megahertz in order to have 2700 exactly in gaming okay in gaming and other applications as for the memory timings you can go for the default or the fast timings I myself saw absolutely no difference going from the defaults to the fast timings on this GPU in some gpus it does make the difference in this one it doesn't so in order to achieve higher stability I just selected the default settings instead of the fast timings because in this scenario I do know that I will have better stability if you want to well if you want to take a chance and go with fast timings go on if you start seeing some artifacts if you start seeing some crashes some stutter as well it may be due to the fast timings because it won't be stable for you my advice is to leave it on default but if you want to test it well go for the fast timings and well guys there's not really much more to say so we talked about the core performance the power tuning is the most important okay um let me just give you an example if you select for example 2300 with a maximum of 2400 megahertz so our power saving settings even though you have the power tuning at 15 plus your card won't be at 400 at 400 watts all the times like with the stock with the stock settings because you are limiting the max frequency to 2400 megahertz and doing that it means that your power limit won't reach the maximum because your frequency isn't also boosting to the Max and when you're running default settings and raise the power limits it will work with the max clocks available inside that power limit uh meaning that it will be always at the max frequency it can achieve under those 400 watts while you do these settings like the power saving ones you are limiting the frequency so the power the power draw will also get way lower because the Boost algorithm is actually locked on that maximum boost so it won't boost to the max frequency and since it won't boost to the max frequency the voltage will also be lower as and since the voltage will be lower the power draw and temperatures will also be lower that's basically how it works once again it may seems it may seem actually sorry for them for the mistakes in the English language I'm quite tired uh it may seem quite complicated but in the in its Essence it is actually pretty simple as soon as you understand it it will be like an epiphany and you'll understand everything how it works it is actually once again pretty simple it seems confusing but it is simple after you you find your stable settings you can simply save your settings for uh for later loading uh by using this option of the safe profile you just go save profile you select the where you want to save the profile you select the name and then save and the profile will be there and when you want to load that same profile just go here load profile and load the profile file that you actually saved before and it will load your settings automatically for example I have these ones if I go here and I load my sorry about that if I load my settings let's say of the max power okay I then have to select both CPU and GPU in this case just GPU this option won't be won't be there if you don't have a 7000 series CPU proceed and then as you can see my Max overclocking settings have been loaded as soon as I go to load profile once again and I load the power saving profile bam my power saving settings have been loaded as simple as it can be and well guys hope this is quite confusing confused you actually helped you in some way uh after the video after me talking right now we'll have the comparisons in between several settings like I should like I showed you the stock settings okay we'll have a comparison in between the stock settings the the performance per watt setting the full overclocking setting and even the power saving setting for you to see the performance and power draw and temperatures of each profile that I'm actually showing you also you have a link in the description where you can actually download my overclocking settings I will leave there the power saving and the max overclocking settings and with this video you can actually tweak your settings and choose the one you want depending on the situation you do for example I usually lock my frames at around 100 in most single player games I find I find it to be the the best um The best scenario for not having motion sickness and for having quite an enjoyable gameplay experience so in that scenario of the 100 FPS I have way lower power draw when I actually use my power saving settings while having the same 100 FPS so it depends on your usage but those two profiles will be there the power saving one and the max OC one so if you want Link in the description and download those profiles hope you enjoyed the video hope I helped and leave your comment in the comment section if you have any doubts I'll try to help you as fast as I can as usually yeah basically that's it see you in the next video guys I didn't get it again [Music] [Music] keep running [Music] we'll make it he's coming ha funny brambles you're going too fast for me come on hey slow down you'll exhaust our villain this is your Tower it's evil doesn't he ever get tired I really should get back to studying come on we had a long journey today [Music] [Music] oh [Music]
