Nice video as always. Just would be curious to see the junction temps when you run these tests. People often only pay attention to the GPU temps but it would be nice to see how the junction temps drop during the undervolting since they get so hot stock.
I always ignored undervolt, but after I got my 6700xt I cutted like 30-40W of power with same performance. That's amazing. Saving electricity money and fan noice
@@NuggetsXInfinite yea, i though my case have a normal cooling, but now i have to play with open sidepanel cause my rx6700xt getting to hot and loud. 78-80C. But with open sidepanel its 68-70 and 2 times more quiet
I've been watching your videos back to back, no one does it like you. I love how you go into such detailed depth but still keep it simple for viewers. Keep doing what you're doing!
Especially for the sapphire pulse oc owners, I configured the these specs according to my prefer, which is similar to your config. Tempreature and fps changed extremely. Temp was 65-70 degree during game, but now, It is 50-55 degree :) Also FPS performance increased nearly 5-15 fps. This can be very pleasing for sapphire pulse owners :) The furmark score also increased by around 1000-1500.
@@gmanutz toplam güç tüketimini ölçmedim ama ekran kartı yanlış olmasın 150 155 civarıydı sanırım. Undervolt öncesi 180leri görüyordu diye hatırlıyorum. Benim monitör 1080p olduğu için 6700 tercih ettim Fiyat farkı biraz fazlaydı çünkü. 2k ve üstü monitör varsa bence her türlü 6700xt

You're my go-to guy on TH-cam now, that's official ! Just got my Sapphire Radeon 6700 from Pc Componentes and I'm really happy to see this video posted :) Very good explanations and you seem like a chill and honest person :) However I would not suggest to use the built-in stress test on the AMD software, with my previous graphic cards the stress test worked fine everytime (even 10 to 15 mins) but in games I would suffer some crashes. I don't find this stress test to be very consistent and using your ressources like some games do. Thanks again Fabio, very good video!
Thank you for the words! Yeah, I usually advise to test in game in like 99% of my videos, but in this one I used the stress test because it should be "easier"
Great video! tried it with my XFX Radeon RX 6700 Core (3 fans) , it runs from stock on already lower temperature/power ( max 60 C, 138 W) , with help of your video i got it to 50C, 112 W, bit insane ! ( voltage got unstable with 1040 here (artificats) 1060/70 was sweet spot for me, but pretty happy with results anyway! my old card was MSI radeon 480, it got about same power consumption as 6700 now , just wow :)
Really great & clear tutorial 👍, now my RX 6700 is performing better with less hot temp & noise. I'm lucky because I don't have any problem with the fast timing memory setting. You're the best, many thanks to you. 👌
this 100% worked with my GPU, I tried it after months of being discouraged to play my games because they were making my PC so LOUD, and now after making this setup every game is running quiet like butter with even better frame times and way less stutters. Thank you Ancient g. for making my Christmas way better
Recently got new RX 6700 XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT 309 for 225 euros. And this thing is a fucking beast of a GPU for the price. It is stable @~2775Mhz 1.1v (undervolted). Hot spot in stress tests never exceeds 92C and edge temps 75C. The only little downside is - it has 14Gbps RAM that don't overlock past 1900Mhz.
Hi m8! I got same Gpu. How is your fan speeds? Mine get upto 3200rpm at around 78c Junction Temp. They are smaller fans so i assume they spin very fast compared to bigger Gpu's etc
@@garethsutherland9649 78c is pretty high m8, hot spot must be around 95c! Maybe it is time to change thermal paste. My fans never get above 50% and temps is max ~72-73. I'm pretty sure that my thermal paste is also dry, the card has been sitting in warehouses for a long time. I'm sure that i can get my temps even under 70c if i change paste. The cooling capabilities of this card is massive, it is a 6700XT cooler on this card.
Bro, you are one of the main reasons why I was convinced to resort buying the non XT card which ironically suited my budget for my system. It's on the way, post ordering it. Thank you for bringing attention to this card. Can't wait to try out the settings from your tutorial. ❤️
@@ghostlyinterceptor7756 thanks but nah , i'm fine with my 600w , i undervolt it with few tests , now even on heavy load it never go beyond 150w , the gpu is beast at 1080p.
Thanks for this! Getting my 6700 on Thursday, and I'll be coming back to this then to refresh my mind after work. Everything I've seen on this card from you and others makes this a really amazing mid-tier budget card. It kind of reminds me of the 1080 TI when I used to have it. Also, other than what you've shown in the vid, are there any other recommendations for this card? And, have you tried changing out the thermal paste to say... Thermal Grizzly? Wondering if it would be at all worth it or not.
OK, my story of overclocking this card: 1. Time Spy with out of the box settings - 10537 2. Power limit +15% - 10763 (power limit +15% for all the below results) 3. UV 1040, UV 1050 - artifacts. 4. 1060 mV - 10780 5. 1060 mV + Max MHz 2800 - 10999 6. 1060 mV + Max MHz 2800 - 11132 Min MHz was left untouched. Power usage during benchmark at 183W (which is power limit of the card itself + 15%, as set). Cyberpunkt 2077 benchmark: stock - 47.74 FPS, avg power draw - 126W OC+UV - 50.79 FPS, avg power draw - 127W I tried to test your settings (meaning 1060 mV, PL +15%, mem 2150 with fast timings and 2500 - 2600 MHz), but it crashed. Twice. It completed at default 1200 mV with 48.32 FPS and 130W power draw, I didn't play with the voltage more. So I got +6% in performance with no increase in power draw in typical scenario (when the card is not fully utilised all the time)... Funnily enough, with Min MHz at 500 default and Max MHz at 2800, maximum I could hit was 2655 MHz.
My 6700xt sweet spot…2700-2800…1120 mV…vram frequency 2084…junction temp 75c…core 58c…gpu clock hovers around 2755 mhz….177 fps in warzone in 1080p….thank you for helping me dial in my oc!
I did try your OC/UV settings paired with my own fan curve, and I’m very impressed by the results. The temps now are top-notch! Now I’m getting around 53-54 degrees in Unigine Heaven benchmark (1440p high settings) and in Warzone, I’m getting 49-50 degrees (1440p balanced with high textures). I actually have the Sapphire Pulse version of the RX 6700, which is better than the standard Sapphire version. I didn’t just adjust the GPU fans with that one slider like you. As already mentioned, I did my own custom fan curve. My card is still a bit too loud with the fan speed on 79%, but with 75-77%, the noise level is acceptable. And now with your OC/UV settings, it’s even better.(i could even further decrase the fan speed to 70% or below, but i would recommend 75%) This probably had the biggest impact on the Hotspot Temp. Prior to trying your settings (only with my custom fan curve), the Hotspot temperature was around 80-83 degrees, while the normal GPU temperature was at 58/59 degrees. The Hotspot temperature is now significantly lower, ranging from 63/66-71 degrees(the lowest Temp is from COD/WZ and the highest from Unigine Heaven Benchmark). There was nothing wrong with the temperatures I had previously, but this is a welcome improvement nonetheless. The standard driver settings caused the card to run on the hotter side. In Warzone (1440p balanced with high textures), the current temperature was 73 degrees, which is still within a normal and safe range. However, the hotspot temperature reached 96 degrees.
I appreciate the tutorial! I unfortunately couldn't get my Pulse model stable at 1040mhz for the core voltage, but so far, it seems to be perfectly stable at 1060mhz. I did a two-minute stress test on the GPU before and after following your guide, and with the stock settings out of the box, the Adrenaline software reported the card as having a junction temperature of 82°C with a current temperature of 68°C, whereas, with your settings (alongside my own custom fan-curve), the Adrenaline software reported the card as having a junction temperature of 61°C with a current temperature of 55°C. That's a very nice improvement indeed. 😁👌
@@resonmon I have the Sapphire Pulse RX 6700. I've had the card since August, and it's been very good. That said, shortly after I bought the card, XFX released a three-fan model 6700, and the 6700 is a bit warm-running, so having the additional fan and beefer cooler of the XFX model would've been nice. Oh well. My Sapphire Pulse model is still very nice. And, compared to the old RX 590 I used to have, even with my 6700 being a two-fan model, it still runs way cooler than my old 590 did.
@@doabrad1850 I just bought the xfx one, but some of my build parts would only arrive in 3 weeks... Leave me a reply if you want me to tell you my impressions on it after I build it (but be patient).
Just wanna share with y'all my story with my 5700 XT tunning. A Powercolor Red Devil, it's a 225W TDP card, with clocks set to 2054 MHz core / 1750 MHz memory by default. In games, it hovers at 1980 and 205W-225W. I can OC/UV it to 2000 MHz set in driver (1935 MHz in-game) (some 1.5-2 less fps in gaming) and set memory at 1836 MHz (1832 MHz read) at 1.112V. TDP drops to 140-180W. For a cooler setup, I can drop core to 1900 MHz (another 3 fps down from 2000 MHz) (some 1835-1850 MHz in-game), same 1836 MHz memory at 1.037V. Temps and required fan speed drop down dramatically at this point. TDP drops to 120-160W. Going from 225W to 120W with like 95% the performance is quite something.
I was so reluctant to buy AMD gpu because of the complains i saw on youtube about black screens, game crashing etc. Its been a year using RX 6600 XT and never had issues at all. 😊.
Oh nice! Thank you! I recently bought this card and this is super useful with the internet right now not really knowing much at all about this card :/. Thank you for these videos, they really help! Saudações da Gran Canária!
I have the same exact Radeon model from Sapphire. The minimum that my card can go without crashing while playing is 1090mV, with 2500/2600MHz. Vram synch set to fast and 2112MHz works OK to me. Even with this config. temperatures are around 65º/70º, with fans at 100%, and the power moves between 120W and 158W, quite similar than before the undervolting and the overclocking.
Very well explained. No site is analyzing this card like yours. Thanks. Mine, I don't know if the equipment will influence this (cpu, MB, box), it doesn't seem to like having its voltage touched. I followed your exact setup and found that it did not pass the AMD software stress test. Not in my initial 1100mv test, (not in 1110,1120mV either). It was strange, I put it on for 10 minutes and the same thing always happened. After 9':30" the card took idle values and the test failed at the end. I was able to test the configuration with a FurMark with very different results. All tests passed up to 1030mv (artifacts visible at 1030 and 1040mv). I tried the setting in Forza Horizon 5, 4k high getting improvements in fps and frametime but higher temperatures(89-94°) and consumption(>140W) than my previous ones. I find that a difference of 100Mhz between the min and max really suits it, but against temperatures and consumption (very hot in Spain). Very educational video, keep up the good work.
Hola Trust. Me gustaría mucho saber más acerca de tu experiencia con la 6700. Qué ensamblador es? Qué configuración tienes y qué temperatura (junction, no la normal) tienes con ella? Gracias igualmente.
@@John.Doe.X1 Mi 6700 es Sapphire No Pulse; muy básica. Como viene de fábrica tenía unas temperaturas bastante malas en el Hot spot; no tiene una refrigeración muy top, mi caja era pequeña y no suficientemente ventilada, etc. Haciéndole unos toques, UV OC, responde muy bien. Jugando siempre a 2k , 4k escalado, 4k alto, exigiéndole mucho , la Gpu se quedaba en 70° y poco en el Hot spot; 60° o menos de temperatura de GPU. Mejores resultados ahora que he cambiando la caja recientemente. La mía fue el primer ensamble que salió; junto a la Pulse, ligeramente mejor ensamblada. Ahora tienes otros que parecen mucho mejores y a mejor precio que hace medio año. Mira PcComponentes si eres de España. Cambiado también CPU por 5700x; 11300 puntos en 3dMark. En fin, mi experiencia con la 6700 es excelente en consumo, temperaturas y rendimiento.
@@trustn1 Muchas gracias por responderme. Hasta cuánto puedes bajarle el voltaje y a qué frecuencias lo pones? Yo dispongo de la XFX 6700 XT SWFT 309 y en stock se pone a más de 100C en temperatura de unión (todo comprado nuevo hace menos de un mes y con caja y componentes de alta calidad). La voy a devolver porque opino que una gráfica no debería de tener esas temperaturas en stock.
POWERCOLOR FIGHTER 6700 /// THX man used your setting and it helped me! GOLDEN for me: 1080Volts, min/max 2500/2600, power limit +15%, mem 2112 fast timing, runs stable as fck with 130w instead on 160W On Cyberpunk2077, ultra, HD res...with fans almost quiet on custom curve 1450 rpm (42%) temp bellow 70 C cos these fans tend to get noticeable loud over 52% 2000rpm
I have the XFX RX 6700 with 3 fans, after your guide I managed to take the voltage to 1040mV, and without any type of stability problem. And most importantly, without any loss of performance, I actually got more fps (+-10) and the power consumption averaged 112 Watts. Thank you very much Fabio. I have a Ryzen 7 7700x, please, could you make a video on how to undervolt this processor?
Hello there @AncientGameplays , I've recently found your channel. I find it very informative, detailed with easy explanations and things to fallow, bonus nice engagement too. You are among the few that presented the 6700 non XT card and in the last two weeks I decided to get one, a non Pulse and non XT version of the Sapphire 6700 Gaming OC version (the one that you have and presented that shares the smaller cooler with the Sapphire GPRO X080. I prioritizes stability, noise, consumption and temperatures and less so on the highest possible achievable frame rates. I got a limited case when it comes to airflow with a be Quiet pure base 600 with 2 x 140 fans in front and 1 x 120 in back, but because of no front mesh and 4 HDD bays in the front the air movement isn't the best. So my temps in Cyberpunk are 75 gpu and 90 hot spot. Using max freq 2400 (real 2333 ~ 2367) with 1125 mV for around 115W consumption. Any tips or ideas for how I can adjust the card to lower this temps ? Funny enough if I go say 2600 MHz freq I can lower to say 1050 mV, so is that normal behavior. Also when I try to play with the fan curve it just goes crazy shoots up to 2k rpm and totally disregards my lower settings, my own custom curve. This in adrenaline latest update. Same for you if you try to change the values to the fans / temp points and P1 ~ P5? Last what memory does you model have ? mine has Micron. (I hoped for Samsung) Thank you and have a good day, will await for any feedback.
Well, let's see: - "Any tips or ideas for how I can adjust the card to lower this temps ?", well, those temps are actually okay considering the cooling, you can change thermal paste and get better airflow - "Funny enough if I go say 2600 MHz freq I can lower to say 1050 mV, so is that normal behavior.", that's normal because the slider is just an offset and each frequency has a base. I do explain that in the recent GPU tutorials
you might want to use other tests when messing with the voltage setting, as AMD stress test isn't 100% in my case 90% voltage was unstable in some games the card became stable after i bumped it to 92% about 1104mV its a XFX - Speedster SWFT309 AMD Radeon RX 6700 10GB model RX-67XLKWFDR that and make sure AMD SAM/rebar is on that also helps with FPS
great guide mate. i sometimes come and check your channel if this guide is updated. i'd really appreciate if you make a new 6700 and a new adrenalin options video if you find it ncessary. have a nice day!
With the PowerColor 6700 I pretty much got the exact same result. It instantly crashed at 1000mV and ran stable at 1030. So I settled for 1040 with fast 2112 memory timings enabled. 👌
I finally got it stable at 1050 mV with the same values as Fabio. As I started undervolting right out of the box, I assumed that this caused all the crashes. But it turned out that either the 6700 or the drivers didn't like it when I’m playing games at a higher resolution than my desktop.
I finally tried and understood the voltage offset you talk about and messed a little with a few settings. I am blown away by the difference. Sure overclocked you can get a few more FPS but temperature and power wise the increase is absolutely crazy. Following your advice and lowering the clock speed, I dropped 30W, 10°C, and even 20°C on the hotspot. That is amazing ! I use an AMD factory card with a waterblock, and hotspot reaches 75°C max, when the whole die barely reaches 55°C. Thank you so freaking much.
Fan speed below 1000 rpm is lovely. I got an ASRock card with a minimum fan speed of 1300rpm. With zero fan mode, it is like a jet starting and stopping all the time.
I've got this card and installed it today. Thanks for sharing your trials. This card is optimal cost-benefit for mid level gaming PC. Playing God of War and the performance is sweet.
Well I didn't win the lottery, just installed my 6700 and it's stable at 1100mV. Still better than the factory 1200 but was hoping for slightly better. Thanks for the video
I have rx 6700 Sapphire and 5600x, I did exactly what you show in this vidéo, this is great. However, stress test is always good at 1040 voltage but when I launch New World, crash everytime. Need to put 1080 voltage for New World to avoid crashing. Other difficulty with this game, impossible to have steady FPS, always drop FPS in game. For other games, perfect. Thank you for this tuto, this is really really helpful 👍🏻.
Yeah i've found new world to be very good at finding instabilities. Can be stable in gaming for a week with different games and then crash in new world after a few hours.
To be really safe in New World, now I do exactly same settings showed in the video and I put 1100 voltage. No more crashes and less frame drop (this game has really bad optimization).
Thank you for the video. I have the Sapphire RX 6700, and had toyed with the idea of overclock/undervolting. It seems like all we needed to do was bump the min frequency up, etc. I have 2600/2700 mhz, and 1050 mv. Also, 2100 on fast tuning. Two 10 minute stress tests and temps remained nominal in HWInfo, and AMD. I will run some games later and see if it's smoother. Thanks for your very good and to the point guide on this topic. Made it simple. Subbed :)
Just tested my Sapphire Pulse RX 6700 Benchmarks done in 3D Mark Timespy today Best bench so far for 6700 was 11834 (Test 1 78.14 fps, Test 2 67.09 fps) Compared the Timespy results for Out of box + SAM + 15% power to my current settings results, current settings produced a 4% increase over the out of box performance Best bench for 6600 XT (Sapphire Nitro) was 10523 (Test 1 68.76 fps, Test 2 60.20 fps) So in comparason to best OC RX 6600 XT to OC RX 6700, the RX 6700 is around 13% better performing (and does so at much lower temperatures) RX 6700 Settings: Min Freq 2568 Max Freq 2668 Voltage 1085 (I can go lower) Mem Timing: Fast Mem Freq 2132 (2120 after offset) Power % +15 RX 6600 XT Settings: Min Freq 2760 Max Freq 2660 Voltage 1025 (I can go lower) Mem Timing: Default Mem Freq 2222 (2212 after offset) Power % +20
@@resonmon I would recommend it. I'm UK based and the Sapphire Pulse RX 6700 is at £330 which is great value. temps wise I'll check in a game soon but timespy wise I think it was around the 55-60 degree mark. I'm idling at 33
@@piersbrown3308 So you are not sacrificing any performance you are even ocing and you are undervolting to a point that ıt even uses less power than 6600 ? xd
raising power limit is not always a good choice even if you don't care about electricity, for example on my XFX RX6600 at 120% power fans reach about 3k rpm even with side panel off and unrestricted front case fans blowing at 100%, it's worse when fans get into frequency and start resonating, then whining is kinda multiplied so undervolting is the only way, i don't want to repaste my GPU, i might break it and it might not pay off much
@Ancient Gameplays - Im curious as to your thoughts on why other Tech review channels are not posting videos, or even mentioning this GPU? It seems to be the biggest bang for buck on the market right now (Feb 2023), and no one other than yourself is calling it out. 2 of my friends and I purchased this card in the Pulse version here in Australia for $459 AUD ($300 US) earlier this week and we love this card. Outperforms my 5700 XT Strix by 35% (and even more with your tune 😉)
Just want to say thanks for this video and all your others. I have the sapphire 6700 pulse. Your settings are working flawlessly! Stress testing gives me temps 60c to 65c and wattage 100w to 115w. Card stays silent. Only weird thing is the Vram clock, it was showing 2100Mhz but recent testing shows a 0Mhz reading. (just had to disable settings then enable again and its back to 2100Mhz)
@@Gado_xyz I used what ancient says in the video. Over the last couple of months I have changed one thing, setting the mv to 1100 as some games didn't like 1050.
@@Gado_xyz I use hwinfo and the performance monitoring from my icue software and the logging from the adrenaline AMD. Voltages are in where you want 110 to 130, but that depends on the game too. Low GPU use games rarely go above 100w. Upping the Mv didn't up the voltage used, it just gave the card that little extra for the games that wanted to use the GPU more.
Worked great! didnt get my Voltage stable under 1060 but it saves power and its running much better! Thank you. the new Adrenalin version looks different for the fancontrol.
@@AncientGameplays I did but the 6650XT behaves quite different to the 6600XT. I can't get below 1130mv even when I set a max clock of 2000mhz. The VRAM is 2188mhz by default and Wattman does not let me go any lower (in case the high min voltage has something to do with the quite high vram default clock speed)
It's not about the exact numbers but relative. Try a little undervolt check stability, try tighter VRAM timing check stability, up power limits. I used runs of timespy plus game benchmarks, when a new driver came I had to back off. So being close to the edge has downsides.
My 6700 xt didn't like a 20% undervolt. That's what I discovered. 10% is ok, but I discovered wattman auto applied a 9% undervolt. Reads about 1092 mV. I can get a couple lower, but that's it. GPU clocks are about 2564 with this. I know my card isn't the non xt model, but it was all I could find at the time. Pretty good upgrade over my RX 480.
Full OC is interesting, ~2700MHz is pretty close to what you'd get on a 6700 XT without much touching, and the 6700XT has pretty limited OC potential after going over ~2850 (6750XT is a completely different story). I wonder how much difference there is between the 6700XT and the 6700 when both are fully overclocked to a "stable" limit. I wonder how much the extra shaders and memory bw give it.
@@AncientGameplays I've done some testing and it looks like 2150MHz default timings is faster than 2100 fast timing. One of two, either my RAM is ECC correcting on fast timing, or it's memory bandwidth starved.
@@AncientGameplays yeah that's for sure, got a run in userbenchmark and placed 10th among the Rx 6700 uploaded to the site, guess the sapphire model though does have better build quality and components since it tops the chart (or maybe just slightly higher boost)
My RX580 is dying so instead of waiting for 7xxx I decided to go for the best price to performance 6xxx for 2k. I chose 6700 non-xt as a safe pick, that will loose less value when sold around christmas, in order to get a 7xxx. Watching your guide I am even happier with my choice and its potential. I have never considered udnervolitng any gpu or cpu in the past. Looking forward to do some testing. Will come back with the results, thanks for your work.
Thank you very much bro, you helped me a lot, i was really lost with the settings, my 6700 FIGHTER is stable on 1090 MV, i did exactly like your settings
So i tried your advice and i can get a very mild uv, Like 1120 everything lower gives me hard artifacts in timespy... So thats my lowest possible stable clock, so i run the card with 1133 to be save and i oc the Card with 2500 min and 2650 max that way the Card uses about 150-170w and with 2600 Like U suggest it uses less power 150 w max but i get less Performance... so i guess i found my sweet Spot Here ... I can Deal with 10-20 additional Watts for some more frames... Thank you really much for your guide
Excellent video, I still need evidence in video games, I have had the card for about 4 days, I managed to stabilize it at 1080 voltage 2500-2600. In the case of the Vram, I did not manage to reach exactly 2100 or the default since I managed to produce artefac so it was stable for me in 1970 and that causes me concern since you say that in 99% of the cases it works at 2100 more I know the 1%. Ah, what procedure do you recommend for this graph? I have a Ryzen 7 3700x but I think I should update... And thank you very much for the contribution to this not so well-known graph.
Hey man amazing video. Its my first time actually fiddling with the settings in my GPU, just got the sapphire 6700 10GB pulse. it performs like a dream and I'm trying to understand if I did any good with the settings. Amazing tip the undervolting, especially useful now :D Thanks for the vid! Edit: Question, everytime I boot up a game, a weird electronic noise comes from the card, at first I thought it was the fans but its not, does it sound normal? its not too loud, but its definitely there.
Thanks for the work, the tutorial is the best ive seen , due to the fact that u did it on RX6700 which is my card too so i just copied ur settings 😁 And by the way could you do the same for undervolting cpu ? I don't know but my 5600 just burn in several games, 94°c ! And it seems much more difficult as i could see , its all made in the bios ?
Hey brother I have the same card but I still don't understand. Can u please share only undervolted tunning config file. It would be really appreciate.❤❤
If I put a minimum of 2500 mhz the power consumption goes up to almost 160W regardless of the voltage. If I put a minimum of 2400 mhz, the consumption stays at approximately 130W.
@@AncientGameplays Do you mean lower the voltage? With a minimum of 2400 mhz and 1070 mv I achieve a consumption of 120 watts. If I go lower than 1065 mv it crashes. I think my card is not very good... If I load your profile, it crashes... I'll try to reinstall the drivers. I was using a 1050Ti and I used DDU, but maybe something is off as you said.
Hey man you prob won't read this but I also have a 6700xt. When ever I follow your instructions in the video, my computer black screens or freezes with green artifacts on the screen. This only happens when I used AMD radeon software. On MSI afterburner, this problem does not happen AT ALL. I can even do 2800mhz with 1100mv on msi after burner with no issues.
I missed Fedex delivery yesterday and I was home, dough!. Today again they will bring that RX 6600. Im running with GTX 1070 for now, 84 UB score. I will try PASSMARK and FURMARK as well. I will try your settings and see the differences in benchmark since I dont have those games. Actually RX 6600 is for my son in Chihuahua, but I wonder wich card performs better in his 2700x PCIE 3. I have 3700x PCIE 4 but I am not gamer, I use PC for music creation. Thanks for your videos and best wishes.
Great video, thank you. I am confused at the end of the video. Are the settings you chose in this video the middle green or rightmost red results? Edit: Also is that 1440p?
Complete Newb here, subscribed and have a question. Do i need to overclock to use this card (swift version) to run games on a 34 inch ultrawide monitor 1440p? Or do I really need a new GPU? Im asking because I have the card but I'm thinking of upgrading my monitor.
@@AncientGameplays According to your benchmarks with a 6700xt it is performing quite well, i got mine to use 140 Watt at 100% load, it was about 80-85 degrees, unfortunately i am going to send it back. for 40 euros more i can buy a 6700xt from xfx

I just bought my Xfx Swft. I wanted better VR performance than my 1660ti could give. However, I only wanted to buy a card that was roughly double the effective speed. I budgeted $300. I had to raise that budget by $100. But isn't that the case most of the time with computers? I'm glad I ponied up the extra cash. My VR sessions went from adequate to OMG! But I'm still left with one little question; What is that little switch next to the power inputs for?
Fala man, estou curtindo demais teus videos! então estou com uma 6700 XT (Eu sei, já assisti o video correto rssrrs), agora em termos de estabilidade, olhando para as métricas e não para artefatos em tela, como podemos definir se está estável ou não? Seria legal um video curto sobre isso tambem que tal? Grande abraço!
Sapphire Pulse registers in Adrenalin as AMD Radeon RX 6700, your variant is most likely an OEM model that somehow ended up in retail. It happens occasionally...
@@AncientGameplays I didn't mean it's not from Sapphire but that it was primarily designed and meant to be installed in a new PC bundle since it's rather bare, not sold by themselves. They possibly changed their mind and allowed it also for retail.
Hey I used exact same settings as you did in this tutorial and everything was running flawlessly. Then I had windows update and I think the dumbass win update reset all settings to default. I didnt even realize it at first but then when I started playing game the fans were suspiciously loud. The fans used to be loud with default settings and setting max fan speed to 80% put them to acceptable level. So it was weird that they were loud again and I check the adrenaline settings again and everything was set back to default. This didnt happen before the windows update. How do I prevent win update from ruining the settings again?
Have you ever tried Time spy (by 3D Mark) whit your settings. My Gpu (xfx 309 rx6700) crash whit only UV at 1100 (other bench and games, no problem). P.s. fast timings ad 2000Mhz for Mem, crash for me....sad
Thank you for your great videos! I'm considering buying a GPU, and my options now are RX 6600 (310 euros) and RX 6700 (380 euros). Which one do you think have better value? Or should I wait for RX 7000 series? 😅
If you really can't wait for for 7000 buy 6700 it will be more future proof but it wont be long for new graphics cards to be released and for what I hear they will double the performance + better RT.
@@pajda102 but it could be Q1/23 or even later before Navi33 is out on desktop, especially if the premium thin & light laptops receive priority. We have no idea what he wants the GPU for, but the RX 6700 is more likely to satisfy in medium term. There'll be an RX 8000 series soon enough. Buying used may be a good possibility too
From my experience and by looking at some comments, the XFX version of 6700 seems to need more voltage, around 1100 precisely. It may come from the fact that it's TDP is 138 while other versions have 158 TDP and it's not overclocked in any way stock (it has max 2425mhz clock).
As always, If you have doubts, let me know in the comment section!
Bro whats the best platform to talk to you directly instead of youtube comments?
Bro what's the difference between current temp and junction temp?
@@Sree05 regular GPU temperature is the temperature of the edge while the hot spot is the hottest point at the center
Nice video as always. Just would be curious to see the junction temps when you run these tests. People often only pay attention to the GPU temps but it would be nice to see how the junction temps drop during the undervolting since they get so hot stock.
Unfortunate that the FPS numbers are cut in half at the top of the screen Good edxplination of the considerations for setting choices.

Especially for the sapphire pulse oc owners, I configured the these specs according to my prefer, which is similar to your config. Tempreature and fps changed extremely. Temp was 65-70 degree during game, but now, It is 50-55 degree :) Also FPS performance increased nearly 5-15 fps.

You're my go-to guy on TH-cam now, that's official !
Just got my Sapphire Radeon 6700 from Pc Componentes and I'm really happy to see this video posted :) Very good explanations and you seem like a chill and honest person :)
However I would not suggest to use the built-in stress test on the AMD software, with my previous graphic cards the stress test worked fine everytime (even 10 to 15 mins) but in games I would suffer some crashes. I don't find this stress test to be very consistent and using your ressources like some games do.
Thanks again Fabio, very good video!
Thank you for the words! Yeah, I usually advise to test in game in like 99% of my videos, but in this one I used the stress test because it should be "easier"
Great video!
tried it with my XFX Radeon RX 6700 Core (3 fans) , it runs from stock on already lower temperature/power ( max 60 C, 138 W) , with help of your video i got it to 50C, 112 W, bit insane !
( voltage got unstable with 1040 here (artificats) 1060/70 was sweet spot for me, but pretty happy with results anyway!
my old card was MSI radeon 480, it got about same power consumption as 6700 now , just wow :)
Thanks a lot. I'm interested in same card and curious about undervolt results. I hope it still works fine in your PC.
Hi i have same videocard xfx with 3 fans,What frequency did you set to GPU and VRAM?
Really great & clear tutorial 👍, now my RX 6700 is performing better with less hot temp & noise. I'm lucky because I don't have any problem with the fast timing memory setting. You're the best, many thanks to you. 👌
Great to hear 💪💪
this 100% worked with my GPU, I tried it after months of being discouraged to play my games because they were making my PC so LOUD, and now after making this setup every game is running quiet like butter with even better frame times and way less stutters.

second opinion, after doing exactly what's in the video, the TEMPS dropped in warzone from 89 to 70, i am very happy also got some more FPS, THANK YOU

Recently got new RX 6700 XFX SPEEDSTER SWFT 309 for 225 euros. And this thing is a fucking beast of a GPU for the price. It is stable @~2775Mhz 1.1v (undervolted). Hot spot in stress tests never exceeds 92C and edge temps 75C. The only little downside is - it has 14Gbps RAM that don't overlock past 1900Mhz.
crazy value indeed
Hi m8! I got same Gpu. How is your fan speeds? Mine get upto 3200rpm at around 78c Junction Temp. They are smaller fans so i assume they spin very fast compared to bigger Gpu's etc
@@garethsutherland9649 78c is pretty high m8, hot spot must be around 95c! Maybe it is time to change thermal paste. My fans never get above 50% and temps is max ~72-73. I'm pretty sure that my thermal paste is also dry, the card has been sitting in warehouses for a long time. I'm sure that i can get my temps even under 70c if i change paste. The cooling capabilities of this card is massive, it is a 6700XT cooler on this card.
Bro, you are one of the main reasons why I was convinced to resort buying the non XT card which ironically suited my budget for my system. It's on the way, post ordering it. Thank you for bringing attention to this card. Can't wait to try out the settings from your tutorial. ❤️

Thanks for this! Getting my 6700 on Thursday, and I'll be coming back to this then to refresh my mind after work. Everything I've seen on this card from you and others makes this a really amazing mid-tier budget card. It kind of reminds me of the 1080 TI when I used to have it.
Also, other than what you've shown in the vid, are there any other recommendations for this card? And, have you tried changing out the thermal paste to say... Thermal Grizzly? Wondering if it would be at all worth it or not.
OK, my story of overclocking this card:
1. Time Spy with out of the box settings - 10537
2. Power limit +15% - 10763 (power limit +15% for all the below results)
3. UV 1040, UV 1050 - artifacts.
4. 1060 mV - 10780
5. 1060 mV + Max MHz 2800 - 10999
6. 1060 mV + Max MHz 2800 - 11132
Min MHz was left untouched. Power usage during benchmark at 183W (which is power limit of the card itself + 15%, as set).
Cyberpunkt 2077 benchmark:
stock - 47.74 FPS, avg power draw - 126W
OC+UV - 50.79 FPS, avg power draw - 127W
I tried to test your settings (meaning 1060 mV, PL +15%, mem 2150 with fast timings and 2500 - 2600 MHz), but it crashed. Twice. It completed at default 1200 mV with 48.32 FPS and 130W power draw, I didn't play with the voltage more.
So I got +6% in performance with no increase in power draw in typical scenario (when the card is not fully utilised all the time)...
Funnily enough, with Min MHz at 500 default and Max MHz at 2800, maximum I could hit was 2655 MHz.
My 6700xt sweet spot…2700-2800…1120 mV…vram frequency 2084…junction temp 75c…core 58c…gpu clock hovers around 2755 mhz….177 fps in warzone in 1080p….thank you for helping me dial in my oc!

I did try your OC/UV settings paired with my own fan curve, and I’m very impressed by the results. The temps now are top-notch! Now I’m getting around 53-54 degrees in Unigine Heaven benchmark (1440p high settings) and in Warzone, I’m getting 49-50 degrees (1440p balanced with high textures). I actually have the Sapphire Pulse version of the RX 6700, which is better than the standard Sapphire version. I didn’t just adjust the GPU fans with that one slider like you. As already mentioned, I did my own custom fan curve. My card is still a bit too loud with the fan speed on 79%, but with 75-77%, the noise level is acceptable. And now with your OC/UV settings, it’s even better.(i could even further decrase the fan speed to 70% or below, but i would recommend 75%) This probably had the biggest impact on the Hotspot Temp. Prior to trying your settings (only with my custom fan curve), the Hotspot temperature was around 80-83 degrees, while the normal GPU temperature was at 58/59 degrees. The Hotspot temperature is now significantly lower, ranging from 63/66-71 degrees(the lowest Temp is from COD/WZ and the highest from Unigine Heaven Benchmark). There was nothing wrong with the temperatures I had previously, but this is a welcome improvement nonetheless.
The standard driver settings caused the card to run on the hotter side. In Warzone (1440p balanced with high textures), the current temperature was 73 degrees, which is still within a normal and safe range. However, the hotspot temperature reached 96 degrees.
Great to hear
I appreciate the tutorial! I unfortunately couldn't get my Pulse model stable at 1040mhz for the core voltage, but so far, it seems to be perfectly stable at 1060mhz. I did a two-minute stress test on the GPU before and after following your guide, and with the stock settings out of the box, the Adrenaline software reported the card as having a junction temperature of 82°C with a current temperature of 68°C, whereas, with your settings (alongside my own custom fan-curve), the Adrenaline software reported the card as having a junction temperature of 61°C with a current temperature of 55°C. That's a very nice improvement indeed. 😁👌
Well, it is what it is I guess

@@resonmon I have the Sapphire Pulse RX 6700. I've had the card since August, and it's been very good. That said, shortly after I bought the card, XFX released a three-fan model 6700, and the 6700 is a bit warm-running, so having the additional fan and beefer cooler of the XFX model would've been nice. Oh well. My Sapphire Pulse model is still very nice. And, compared to the old RX 590 I used to have, even with my 6700 being a two-fan model, it still runs way cooler than my old 590 did.
@@doabrad1850 I just bought the xfx one, but some of my build parts would only arrive in 3 weeks... Leave me a reply if you want me to tell you my impressions on it after I build it (but be patient).

You're welcome
Just wanna share with y'all my story with my 5700 XT tunning.
A Powercolor Red Devil, it's a 225W TDP card, with clocks set to 2054 MHz core / 1750 MHz memory by default. In games, it hovers at 1980 and 205W-225W.
I can OC/UV it to 2000 MHz set in driver (1935 MHz in-game) (some 1.5-2 less fps in gaming) and set memory at 1836 MHz (1832 MHz read) at 1.112V. TDP drops to 140-180W.
For a cooler setup, I can drop core to 1900 MHz (another 3 fps down from 2000 MHz) (some 1835-1850 MHz in-game), same 1836 MHz memory at 1.037V. Temps and required fan speed drop down dramatically at this point. TDP drops to 120-160W.
Going from 225W to 120W with like 95% the performance is quite something.
Exactly, the same happens here with this GPU
I was so reluctant to buy AMD gpu because of the complains i saw on youtube about black screens, game crashing etc. Its been a year using RX 6600 XT and never had issues at all. 😊.
glad to see that a mixture of undervolting, overclocking, memory tuning allows it to hit clocks above what most 6650XTs can manage meaning it
Oh nice! Thank you! I recently bought this card and this is super useful with the internet right now not really knowing much at all about this card :/. Thank you for these videos, they really help!
Saudações da Gran Canária!
It's bugged lol
Whats bugged? Also, watch carefully then because I think you can learn something :D
I have the same exact Radeon model from Sapphire. The minimum that my card can go without crashing while playing is 1090mV, with 2500/2600MHz. Vram synch set to fast and 2112MHz works OK to me. Even with this config. temperatures are around 65º/70º, with fans at 100%, and the power moves between 120W and 158W, quite similar than before the undervolting and the overclocking.
Should've done this from the start! The coil whine always felt like my gpu was about to start a fire in there. 😂
Thank you very much my gpu temps went from about 50-55 to 42-46 idle!
Great!!
Very well explained. No site is analyzing this card like yours. Thanks. Mine, I don't know if the equipment will influence this (cpu, MB, box), it doesn't seem to like having its voltage touched. I followed your exact setup and found that it did not pass the AMD software stress test. Not in my initial 1100mv test, (not in 1110,1120mV either). It was strange, I put it on for 10 minutes and the same thing always happened. After 9':30" the card took idle values and the test failed at the end. I was able to test the configuration with a FurMark with very different results. All tests passed up to 1030mv (artifacts visible at 1030 and 1040mv). I tried the setting in Forza Horizon 5, 4k high getting improvements in fps and frametime but higher temperatures(89-94°) and consumption(>140W) than my previous ones. I find that a difference of 100Mhz between the min and max really suits it, but against temperatures and consumption (very hot in Spain). Very educational video, keep up the good work.
Thank you, ignore the stress test as it might me bugged in some versions, use heavy games to test as it is better
Hola Trust. Me gustaría mucho saber más acerca de tu experiencia con la 6700. Qué ensamblador es? Qué configuración tienes y qué temperatura (junction, no la normal) tienes con ella? Gracias igualmente.
@@John.Doe.X1 Mi 6700 es Sapphire No Pulse; muy básica. Como viene de fábrica tenía unas temperaturas bastante malas en el Hot spot; no tiene una refrigeración muy top, mi caja era pequeña y no suficientemente ventilada, etc. Haciéndole unos toques, UV OC, responde muy bien.

I have a Ryzen 7 7700x, please, could you make a video on how to undervolt this processor?
Hi m8! I have same Gpu as u :) What UV procedure did u take? from 1200 to? Straight to 1100v? I am not sure what i should start with? 1150v? Thanks
Hello,but you not sey frecvency Gpu to this undervolt?
Hello there @AncientGameplays , I've recently found your channel. I find it very informative, detailed with easy explanations and things to fallow, bonus nice engagement too.
You are among the few that presented the 6700 non XT card and in the last two weeks I decided to get one, a non Pulse and non XT version of the Sapphire 6700 Gaming OC version (the one that you have and presented that shares the smaller cooler with the Sapphire GPRO X080.
I prioritizes stability, noise, consumption and temperatures and less so on the highest possible achievable frame rates.
I got a limited case when it comes to airflow with a be Quiet pure base 600 with 2 x 140 fans in front and 1 x 120 in back, but because of no front mesh and 4 HDD bays in the front the air movement isn't the best.
So my temps in Cyberpunk are 75 gpu and 90 hot spot. Using max freq 2400 (real 2333 ~ 2367) with 1125 mV for around 115W consumption.
Any tips or ideas for how I can adjust the card to lower this temps ?
Funny enough if I go say 2600 MHz freq I can lower to say 1050 mV, so is that normal behavior.
Also when I try to play with the fan curve it just goes crazy shoots up to 2k rpm and totally disregards my lower settings, my own custom curve. This in adrenaline latest update. Same for you if you try to change the values to the fans / temp points and P1 ~ P5?
Last what memory does you model have ? mine has Micron. (I hoped for Samsung) Thank you and have a good day, will await for any feedback.
Well, let's see:
- "Any tips or ideas for how I can adjust the card to lower this temps ?", well, those temps are actually okay considering the cooling, you can change thermal paste and get better airflow
- "Funny enough if I go say 2600 MHz freq I can lower to say 1050 mV, so is that normal behavior.", that's normal because the slider is just an offset and each frequency has a base. I do explain that in the recent GPU tutorials
you might want to use other tests when messing with the voltage setting, as AMD stress test isn't 100%
in my case 90% voltage was unstable in some games the card became stable after i bumped it to 92% about 1104mV its a XFX - Speedster SWFT309 AMD Radeon RX 6700 10GB model RX-67XLKWFDR
that and make sure AMD SAM/rebar is on that also helps with FPS
Never said it was. I actually advise testing in games
Find this card for €359 in stock. Finally the GTX1070 can be replaced in my pc. Thanks for the undervolt guide.
Best price/perf card
great guide mate. i sometimes come and check your channel if this guide is updated. i'd really appreciate if you make a new 6700 and a new adrenalin options video if you find it ncessary. have a nice day!
With the PowerColor 6700 I pretty much got the exact same result. It instantly crashed at 1000mV and ran stable at 1030. So I settled for 1040 with fast 2112 memory timings enabled. 👌
I spoke too soon. I'm getting random black screens while idling. Guess I'll have to test some more.
Try turning off windows fast start up in the start up/power settings.
@@saucevichealm7501 Thx for the suggestion, but I already had fast start disabled. At the moment I got the card running stable 1070 mV.
I finally got it stable at 1050 mV with the same values as Fabio.
As I started undervolting right out of the box, I assumed that this caused all the crashes.
But it turned out that either the 6700 or the drivers didn't like it when I’m playing games at a higher resolution than my desktop.
what card? Fighter? how you set up min/max frequencies?
I finally tried and understood the voltage offset you talk about and messed a little with a few settings.
I am blown away by the difference. Sure overclocked you can get a few more FPS but temperature and power wise the increase is absolutely crazy.
Following your advice and lowering the clock speed, I dropped 30W, 10°C, and even 20°C on the hotspot. That is amazing !
I use an AMD factory card with a waterblock, and hotspot reaches 75°C max, when the whole die barely reaches 55°C.
Thank you so freaking much.
I am glad I could help :D
Fan speed below 1000 rpm is lovely. I got an ASRock card with a minimum fan speed of 1300rpm. With zero fan mode, it is like a jet starting and stopping all the time.
I finally got the 6700 pulse, and it is so quiet with undervolting. I love it
I think the better sweetspot for this gpu is 2500/2600 Mhz and 1050mv. Got a better temps and lower consumption with very similar fps
I've got this card and installed it today. Thanks for sharing your trials. This card is optimal cost-benefit for mid level gaming PC. Playing God of War and the performance is sweet.
Well I didn't win the lottery, just installed my 6700 and it's stable at 1100mV. Still better than the factory 1200 but was hoping for slightly better. Thanks for the video
Thanks for watching
I have rx 6700 Sapphire and 5600x, I did exactly what you show in this vidéo, this is great.
However, stress test is always good at 1040 voltage but when I launch New World, crash everytime. Need to put 1080 voltage for New World to avoid crashing.
Other difficulty with this game, impossible to have steady FPS, always drop FPS in game.
For other games, perfect.
Thank you for this tuto, this is really really helpful 👍🏻.
I have the same situation with NEW World. But I have 1060 voltage stable.
Yeah i've found new world to be very good at finding instabilities. Can be stable in gaming for a week with different games and then crash in new world after a few hours.
To be really safe in New World, now I do exactly same settings showed in the video and I put 1100 voltage. No more crashes and less frame drop (this game has really bad optimization).
instead of global tuning i just give these profiles to games, each one seems to crash depending on how low you go or even just touching vram speed.
because of the power tables usually
Thank you for the video. I have the Sapphire RX 6700, and had toyed with the idea of overclock/undervolting. It seems like all we needed to do was bump the min frequency up, etc. I have 2600/2700 mhz, and 1050 mv. Also, 2100 on fast tuning. Two 10 minute stress tests and temps remained nominal in HWInfo, and AMD. I will run some games later and see if it's smoother.
Thanks for your very good and to the point guide on this topic. Made it simple. Subbed :)

Best bench so far for 6700 was 11834 (Test 1 78.14 fps, Test 2 67.09 fps)
Compared the Timespy results for Out of box + SAM + 15% power to my current settings results, current settings produced a 4% increase over the out of box performance
Best bench for 6600 XT (Sapphire Nitro) was 10523 (Test 1 68.76 fps, Test 2 60.20 fps)
So in comparason to best OC RX 6600 XT to OC RX 6700, the RX 6700 is around 13% better performing (and does so at much lower temperatures)
RX 6700 Settings:
Min Freq 2568
Max Freq 2668
Voltage 1085 (I can go lower)
Mem Timing: Fast
Mem Freq 2132 (2120 after offset)
Power % +15
RX 6600 XT Settings:
Min Freq 2760
Max Freq 2660
Voltage 1025 (I can go lower)
Mem Timing: Default
Mem Freq 2222 (2212 after offset)
Power % +20
What are your temps ? Would you recommend this card
@@resonmon I would recommend it. I'm UK based and the Sapphire Pulse RX 6700 is at £330 which is great value. temps wise I'll check in a game soon but timespy wise I think it was around the 55-60 degree mark. I'm idling at 33
@@piersbrown3308 Thanks man btw you won silicon lottery big time :d
@@resonmon I still haven't pushed the card fully yet XD
@@piersbrown3308 So you are not sacrificing any performance you are even ocing and you are undervolting to a point that ıt even uses less power than 6600 ? xd
raising power limit is not always a good choice even if you don't care about electricity, for example on my XFX RX6600 at 120% power fans reach about 3k rpm even with side panel off and unrestricted front case fans blowing at 100%, it's worse when fans get into frequency and start resonating, then whining is kinda multiplied
so undervolting is the only way, i don't want to repaste my GPU, i might break it and it might not pay off much
@Ancient Gameplays - Im curious as to your thoughts on why other Tech review channels are not posting videos, or even mentioning this GPU?
It seems to be the biggest bang for buck on the market right now (Feb 2023), and no one other than yourself is calling it out.
2 of my friends and I purchased this card in the Pulse version here in Australia for $459 AUD ($300 US) earlier this week and we love this card. Outperforms my 5700 XT Strix by 35% (and even more with your tune 😉)
Because they have lots of things more to do
You give the best explanations mate!Thanks for that!Keep going
Thanks!
Just want to say thanks for this video and all your others. I have the sapphire 6700 pulse. Your settings are working flawlessly! Stress testing gives me temps 60c to 65c and wattage 100w to 115w. Card stays silent. Only weird thing is the Vram clock, it was showing 2100Mhz but recent testing shows a 0Mhz reading. (just had to disable settings then enable again and its back to 2100Mhz)
That's because of the new windows update most likely. Try to update drivers and msi afterburner
what settings did u use?
i want to undervolt my card so as to draw around 110-130W max.
any help is appreciated
@@Gado_xyz I used what ancient says in the video. Over the last couple of months I have changed one thing, setting the mv to 1100 as some games didn't like 1050.
@@stephenf2958 oh thx man.
also do u get ur reading from.msi afterburner?
and what are the new wattage after going to 1100
@@Gado_xyz I use hwinfo and the performance monitoring from my icue software and the logging from the adrenaline AMD.
Voltages are in where you want 110 to 130, but that depends on the game too. Low GPU use games rarely go above 100w. Upping the Mv didn't up the voltage used, it just gave the card that little extra for the games that wanted to use the GPU more.
correct me if I wrong, but afaik voltage change increment is 6mV, so in your case correct value is 1036 mV or 1042mV
You can do flat number or not, thst yoir choice 💪
Just got mine today❤
Thank you very much my friend, my electricity bill owe you one
Worked great! didnt get my Voltage stable under 1060 but it saves power and its running much better! Thank you. the new Adrenalin version looks different for the fancontrol.
Yeah, slightly different
can you tell me what your exact settings are?
An overclock & undervolt tutorial for the 6650XT would be appreciated
Follow the 6600XT I did
@@AncientGameplays I did but the 6650XT behaves quite different to the 6600XT. I can't get below 1130mv even when I set a max clock of 2000mhz. The VRAM is 2188mhz by default and Wattman does not let me go any lower (in case the high min voltage has something to do with the quite high vram default clock speed)
@@r0bt3ch help us 6650XT guys Fabio 🙏🏿
It's not about the exact numbers but relative.
Try a little undervolt check stability, try tighter VRAM timing check stability, up power limits.
I used runs of timespy plus game benchmarks, when a new driver came I had to back off.
So being close to the edge has downsides.
My 6700 xt didn't like a 20% undervolt. That's what I discovered. 10% is ok, but I discovered wattman auto applied a 9% undervolt. Reads about 1092 mV. I can get a couple lower, but that's it. GPU clocks are about 2564 with this.
I know my card isn't the non xt model, but it was all I could find at the time. Pretty good upgrade over my RX 480.
Make a new video for rx6700 non xt for tuning and all settings for gaming
The process is exactly the same as it was 💪
Full OC is interesting, ~2700MHz is pretty close to what you'd get on a 6700 XT without much touching, and the 6700XT has pretty limited OC potential after going over ~2850 (6750XT is a completely different story). I wonder how much difference there is between the 6700XT and the 6700 when both are fully overclocked to a "stable" limit. I wonder how much the extra shaders and memory bw give it.
6700xt is still much faster due to more physical unita
@@AncientGameplays Yeah, my wonder was how much faster if clock speeds matched. No one has seemed to do this yet.
@@AncientGameplays I've done some testing and it looks like 2150MHz default timings is faster than 2100 fast timing. One of two, either my RAM is ECC correcting on fast timing, or it's memory bandwidth starved.
Just installed Radeon driver 22.7.1 lost all sound....... tried system retore too.....great!
Do a clean install! Always!
Just got my 6700 xfx for 270 euros, gonna try it later today I guess and have fun tuning it
Great value
@@AncientGameplays yeah that's for sure, got a run in userbenchmark and placed 10th among the Rx 6700 uploaded to the site, guess the sapphire model though does have better build quality and components since it tops the chart (or maybe just slightly higher boost)
My RX580 is dying so instead of waiting for 7xxx I decided to go for the best price to performance 6xxx for 2k.
I chose 6700 non-xt as a safe pick, that will loose less value when sold around christmas, in order to get a 7xxx.
Watching your guide I am even happier with my choice and its potential.
I have never considered udnervolitng any gpu or cpu in the past.
Looking forward to do some testing.
Will come back with the results, thanks for your work.
Thanks for watching :D
@@AncientGameplays well, it works like a charm. I'm using 1060mv
new 22.7.1 are out, no rest for you today ;) looking forward to that review :)
No rest fkr the wicked haha
Excelente vídeo! Usei os valores "conservadores" e tudo tranquilo por aqui.
💪💪
I bought rx 6700 last day but no one is talking about it 😢 thanks bro. Can you tell me about ray tracing performance please
Watch my comparison videos 💪
Thank you very much bro, you helped me a lot, i was really lost with the settings, my 6700 FIGHTER is stable on 1090 MV, i did exactly like your settings
Great to hear!
I test my XFX RX 6700 QICK with cyberpunk 2077 RT ultra setting and i got maximum power draw only 95 W with GPU temperature at 53°C 😆
So i tried your advice and i can get a very mild uv, Like 1120 everything lower gives me hard artifacts in timespy... So thats my lowest possible stable clock, so i run the card with 1133 to be save and i oc the Card with 2500 min and 2650 max that way the Card uses about 150-170w and with 2600 Like U suggest it uses less power 150 w max but i get less Performance... so i guess i found my sweet Spot Here ... I can Deal with 10-20 additional Watts for some more frames... Thank you really much for your guide
Great video, well explained, thanks man!
Tried it and pc crashed hard. My PC did not like the VRAM OC lmao. PC still works tho.
Excellent video, I still need evidence in video games, I have had the card for about 4 days, I managed to stabilize it at 1080 voltage 2500-2600. In the case of the Vram, I did not manage to reach exactly 2100 or the default since I managed to produce artefac so it was stable for me in 1970 and that causes me concern since you say that in 99% of the cases it works at 2100 more I know the 1%. Ah, what procedure do you recommend for this graph? I have a Ryzen 7 3700x but I think I should update... And thank you very much for the contribution to this not so well-known graph.
Hey man amazing video. Its my first time actually fiddling with the settings in my GPU, just got the sapphire 6700 10GB pulse. it performs like a dream and I'm trying to understand if I did any good with the settings. Amazing tip the undervolting, especially useful now :D Thanks for the vid!
Edit: Question, everytime I boot up a game, a weird electronic noise comes from the card, at first I thought it was the fans but its not, does it sound normal? its not too loud, but its definitely there.
You're welcome. That noise is coil whine, it is not harmful in any way
Great help, love the channel, keep the vids coming :)
Thanks for the work, the tutorial is the best ive seen , due to the fact that u did it on RX6700 which is my card too so i just copied ur settings 😁
And by the way could you do the same for undervolting cpu ?
I don't know but my 5600 just burn in several games, 94°c !
And it seems much more difficult as i could see , its all made in the bios ?
Hey brother I have the same card but I still don't understand. Can u please share only undervolted tunning config file. It would be really appreciate.❤❤
Zero RPM is most have less stress on solder balls under GPU die doe thermal cycling. And this reduce to chance cold solder joint issue appear.
It`s was really usefull for me. Thks bro!
If I put a minimum of 2500 mhz the power consumption goes up to almost 160W regardless of the voltage. If I put a minimum of 2400 mhz, the consumption stays at approximately 130W.
Thats impossible, just decrease the power even more, or install the deivers again. Something is off there
@@AncientGameplays Do you mean lower the voltage? With a minimum of 2400 mhz and 1070 mv I achieve a consumption of 120 watts. If I go lower than 1065 mv it crashes. I think my card is not very good...
If I load your profile, it crashes... I'll try to reinstall the drivers. I was using a 1050Ti and I used DDU, but maybe something is off as you said.
as always all support to you fabio and thanks for everythings
Thank you!!!
I think there you need to do an updated video with the new drivers 23.2.1
No need, the proccess is the same
@@AncientGameplaysThe numbers are different when you trying to change the voltages and frequencies.
Hi @Ancient Gameplays can also post your "Tuningfile" for RX 6700XT
Its on the 6700xt video
Awsome video. But are all the settings same for 6750xt ?
Same steps different values
30W less for slightly better FPS and less noise? Sold.
Hey man you prob won't read this but I also have a 6700xt. When ever I follow your instructions in the video, my computer black screens or freezes with green artifacts on the screen. This only happens when I used AMD radeon software. On MSI afterburner, this problem does not happen AT ALL. I can even do 2800mhz with 1100mv on msi after burner with no issues.
I missed Fedex delivery yesterday and I was home, dough!. Today again they will bring that RX 6600. Im running with GTX 1070 for now, 84 UB score. I will try PASSMARK and FURMARK as well. I will try your settings and see the differences in benchmark since I dont have those games. Actually RX 6600 is for my son in Chihuahua, but I wonder wich card performs better in his 2700x PCIE 3. I have 3700x PCIE 4 but I am not gamer, I use PC for music creation. Thanks for your videos and best wishes.
Well, the pcie difference wont be thst much in this card, and will depend on the game as well
Thanks for the video. Is your VRAM Clock speed stuck at max frequency while idle?
Nope, it just like that hete because I am using relive to record
Great video, thank you. I am confused at the end of the video. Are the settings you chose in this video the middle green or rightmost red results? Edit: Also is that 1440p?
okay!
Complete Newb here, subscribed and have a question.
Do i need to overclock to use this card (swift version) to run games on a 34 inch ultrawide monitor 1440p? Or do I really need a new GPU?
Im asking because I have the card but I'm thinking of upgrading my monitor.
what is your resolution and Graphics quality, especially in control?
i bought a 6700 non xt too, but it was not performing that well
Will specify on the description, thanks! 1080P max settings, cp2077 at ultra settings 1080P
@@AncientGameplays According to your benchmarks with a 6700xt it is performing quite well, i got mine to use 140 Watt at 100% load, it was about 80-85 degrees, unfortunately i am going to send it back.
for 40 euros more i can buy a 6700xt from xfx
Boa tarde Fabio! Qual voltagem vc recomenda para a 6700 XT? Modelo simples.
Un saludo.
Viva, veja o meu video da 6700xt meu caro. Um abraço
@@AncientGameplays Eu configurei como no video da 6700xt. Toda vez que eu reinicio ou ligo o PC, os valores voltam de fábrica.
Default Radeon WattMan settings has been restored due to unexpected system failure
Ja tentei de tudo, vi uns 1000 videos de como solucionar...e nada!!!
I just bought my Xfx Swft. I wanted better VR performance than my 1660ti could give. However, I only wanted to buy a card that was roughly double the effective speed. I budgeted $300. I had to raise that budget by $100. But isn't that the case most of the time with computers?
I'm glad I ponied up the extra cash.
My VR sessions went from adequate to OMG!
But I'm still left with one little question; What is that little switch next to the power inputs for?
Fala man, estou curtindo demais teus videos! então estou com uma 6700 XT (Eu sei, já assisti o video correto rssrrs), agora em termos de estabilidade, olhando para as métricas e não para artefatos em tela, como podemos definir se está estável ou não? Seria legal um video curto sobre isso tambem que tal?
Grande abraço!
Normalmente é definido pelo simples facto de crashar ou mostrar artefactos, e claro, resultados
Also thank you this seemed to work great on my xfx swft 309 rx6700 !
I still wish there was an itx undervolted model. With 3 fat heat pipes, end to end from the die
great video man
Thanks
Sapphire Pulse registers in Adrenalin as AMD Radeon RX 6700, your variant is most likely an OEM model that somehow ended up in retail. It happens occasionally...
Not actually, there is the Pulse and non-Pulse version of this card, both from Sapphire, the difference is the coolers and number of heatpipes
@@AncientGameplays I didn't mean it's not from Sapphire but that it was primarily designed and meant to be installed in a new PC bundle since it's rather bare, not sold by themselves. They possibly changed their mind and allowed it also for retail.
Hey I used exact same settings as you did in this tutorial and everything was running flawlessly. Then I had windows update and I think the dumbass win update reset all settings to default. I didnt even realize it at first but then when I started playing game the fans were suspiciously loud. The fans used to be loud with default settings and setting max fan speed to 80% put them to acceptable level. So it was weird that they were loud again and I check the adrenaline settings again and everything was set back to default. This didnt happen before the windows update. How do I prevent win update from ruining the settings again?
Have you ever tried Time spy (by 3D Mark) whit your settings. My Gpu (xfx 309 rx6700) crash whit only UV at 1100 (other bench and games, no problem).
P.s. fast timings ad 2000Mhz for Mem, crash for me....sad
Thank you for your great videos! I'm considering buying a GPU, and my options now are RX 6600 (310 euros) and RX 6700 (380 euros). Which one do you think have better value? Or should I wait for RX 7000 series? 😅
What resolution do you want to play at, 1440p or 1080p?
If you really can't wait for for 7000 buy 6700 it will be more future proof but it wont be long for new graphics cards to be released and for what I hear they will double the performance + better RT.
@@pajda102 but it could be Q1/23 or even later before Navi33 is out on desktop, especially if the premium thin & light laptops receive priority.
We have no idea what he wants the GPU for, but the RX 6700 is more likely to satisfy in medium term. There'll be an RX 8000 series soon enough. Buying used may be a good possibility too
I received it today, i am kinda dissapointed, but with better drivers i hope it will be better sooon! (got it for 320 euro)
I don't see how you can get disappointed...I mean, CHEAPER and FASTER than the 6600XT, more PCIe lanes, more VRAM, less power draw when tweaked...
@@AncientGameplays you are right! i should be thankful!!! keep the good work bruda
To undervolt without overclocking all we need to do is set the min frequency and reduce voltage. Nothing else right?
From my experience and by looking at some comments, the XFX version of 6700 seems to need more voltage, around 1100 precisely. It may come from the fact that it's TDP is 138 while other versions have 158 TDP and it's not overclocked in any way stock (it has max 2425mhz clock).
Then it will most likely be power limited a bit more, meaning undervolting will be more benefical
@@AncientGameplays Quite ironic considering, that it has arguably the best cooling solution out of any rx 6700 non xt.
