I love undervolting. Cooler card, more efficient (kicks less heat out into the room), same or faster performance. When I had a rx570 in an oven of a case undervolting increased its performance by 20%
When I ran my vega 56 it undervolted really well... That along with memory OC (hbm2 overclocks really well) game around 10-15 extra performance. Then tuning the fan curve to kick in earlier at low speed actually ment that the temperature would never really get high enough to raise fan speed

@@rylanwill6969 Uh... First thing's first, black doesn't absorb heat, it absorbs light. Second, unless that all sounds really fun to you, it's probably not going to be worth your time and you're sacrificing so much space and cosmetic value. Not to mention, you'd sound like you're in a NYC laundromat to everyone you talk to through the mic lol. Maybe just try liquid cooling instead?????
Thanks, I have been watching your content for awhile but your recent 6800 XT videos have been truly useful as I just traded my 3080 Tuf for an Asrock Taichi 6800 XT. Getting used to tuning AMD has been fun.
Powerful built-in software! I think the idea of this came in the RX580 era, it's now more mature and very useful tool overclocking has never been much easier than this.
7:47 If you increase your memory Frequenzy its quiet possible that your game runs slower in the end, because if you increase the slider you also automatically incraese your Vram Timings. So its possible that a game works a lot better with Timings than with Mhz. Most people i know tend to use 2124 Mhz. It seems to be the best balance between Frequenzy and Timings.
I spent a week figuring out an 6900xt toxic le and some powercolor models this is what I found works best. 1. I used superposition at first because that's a quick test of like 4 minutes. 2. test using different memory clocks. most of these cards do better the higher you go, but not all, including mine. mine does best at 2100mhz. save that profile. 3. then test the memory timings. see if fast or default is faster. save over the same profile 4. move on to the undervolt. using 20-30 mv increments decrease the voltage until it no longer increases or your scores start to drop. save over the same profile at the best mv level. 5. now to power. increase the power percentage 1-2% increments but you can start near 108% bc most of these can do at least that. some keep improving all the way to 115% but some stop earlier and you'll just be wasting watts of yours is one of those. then you have your best settings. save that profile. I ussually go over to timespy then and see if any tweeking helps. got both the red devil and toxic to over 22000 on timespy. the toxic has the better gpu the red devil I has better memory though.
When you say "test using different memory clocks" and mention that you use 2100mhz, are you talking about GPU clocks or VRAM clocks? If vram, are you not adjusting GPU clock? If GPU, are you not adjusting memory clock and only changing timing?
Totally agree on the software. I've owned Nvidia cards and IMO, their interface is outdated by comparison. I also got better results with the AMD overclock tool than MSI afterburner.
AMD is doing better in software now. I'd love to see you get a Ryzen CPU to enable SAM/re-size Bar. That tends to give you a boost on top of your oc/uv.
the "bad radeon drivers" myth was born amid AMD's clusterfuck years, when RTG had near 0 funding. Now situation is massively different, so i think future is pretty bright for Radeon software team.
Im pretty sure intel supports SAM/resizeable bar. As far as I know its a feature thats always been there but AMD was the first utilize its performance.
@@bobbymiller5297 Go to the tuning tab. He shows you here 0:48 . Performance > Tuning > Undervolt. Clicking *undervolt* will apply an auto undervolt. You can undervolt further than the auto value, but you'll have to do some stability testing
@@Premises187 thank you. That worked and I also did the radeon chill.. Because this gpu puts out some heat plus my cpu does and it's cooking me out of my room
The problem with the 2.6ghz and beyond is that my temps and fan noise get too high so I dont keep those settings. I need a better case. I had my glass side panel open in this video to keep temps down. They are much worse with it on. In normal use I just undervolt with fast timings and a small OC to keep the fan quiet.
@@danielowentech yea it's the usual compromise of fighting to keep the temps down. Short of using liquid nitrogen, ie a Steve Burke job, you need a expert super airflow cooled case with quiet fans!
I have a Ryzen 5800X CPU on an ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 Motherboard and an ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming D 16G OC GPU. The Adrenalin Edition graphics drivers (and software) coupled with Ryzen Master and the AMD x570 chipset drivers make overclocking and undervolting both GPU and CPU fairly easy. I was using only Intel CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs for several generations prior to my upgrade these componets. Tweaking both graphics and CPU have never been easier.
Just for clarification, if you increase the powerlimit the power consumption will go up regardless of undervolting. Undervolting will then just make it able to draw a higher current within the same power envelope. edit. not a cretisism, since i really enjoy your videos which i find very informative. I love the way it's based around your own system rather than showing a whole lot of benchmarks. I'ts good to have someone talking honestly about benefits and shortcomings on one specific system.
yes but the power limit doesn't mean it draws that much power all the time, only when its needed. so most of time when it's not needed, it runs on a lot less power.
Great video. Finally someone praising the AMD software rather than people bashing it who more than likely never used it. Also a good tip is to try and raise your min GPU clock in GPU bound games. Like RDR2 setting your min GPU clock speed to around 100-200MHz lower than your max can really help eliminate some stutters or clock drops you can get otherwise. I would only set this on per game basis and not globally. For instance I have a min clock speed of 2400MHz and a max of 2600MHz. It does drop below 2400MHz in some cases but 95% of the time during a game it stays around the 2500MHz range. This doesn't play well with undervolting though.
@@gertjanvandermeij4265 Not all of them are. Nvidia and Intel both have great products and software. Being a fan of a corporation that doesn't care about you is not the way to go about things.
I struggled with the undervolt too.. I use a Sapphire Nitro+ 6800xt. I had my clocks at 2700-2600MHz but the temps were at 90-100c, dropped volt from 1150Mv-1000Mv but no volt was really stable. Left mine at 1150mv, and dropped the clocks to 2500-2400MHz. set a maximum frame rate of 144, and its beautiful 80c tops, average of 60-80. Like you say, set the OC to each game and not globally. But I do think with a liquid block, I can push mine to 2700. Also on the new 6950x its unstable to use fast timings on VRAM...
I only klicked on this video to see how undervolting goes in this new AMD app because last time I used Radeon card was RX470 and the app sucked back then. Later I used Afterburner to set up curve, power draw and memory clock on my GTX1070 and it was superb, more performance and waaay cooler. However now that I am on the 6800XT and the time came for undervolting again I was curious if I can do it in the AMD app and your video presented it perfectly. Good job!
Ahh what a dream! My Powercolor Red Dragon 6800XT cant even run 1050mv at 2000mhz let alone 2500! It's nice to see that a lot of people can overclock/undervolt but for me its a case of being happy it works at stock!
i have the exact same card. noisy as fuck. but i could do like in the video and still lower that f*** noise by at least half and gained at least 4°c. tested on totalwar warhammer3. dumno if it will be stable in the long run but so far so good. try to do all the changes in the video (keep the gpu frequency at 2500, not 2600) all at once! (do'nt change one thing after another.) then apply. see if it still work. if not please tell me in what game it did not. (or if it crash randomly even on desktop)
I'm smart enough, *to keep my PC in my cellar* ( where it it much cooler ) and ramp up the speed on the GPU fans to 90%. And with that, I have an agressive OC on my Radeon 6700XT ( up to even 15% in some games ) . I just run an display and USB (extension) cable to a splitter to my room, for my keyboard and mouse, etc. and an selfmade on/off button. There is also an AC unit in the cellar, so everything runs pretty cool ( everything UNDER 65 degrees C ) while having massive overclocks, on my GPU and Ryzen CPU ! And NO noise in my room above ! I love this setup !
I really appreciate this, I recently got a 6800xt but for whatever reason it was massively under-performing, like, 30fps in RDR2 at 1440p and barely cracking 50 even with the lowest possible settings, I'm going to follow this guide and hope that it helps get it to the performance it should be at to hopefully avoid the hassle of a return.
Hi m8! Hmm that sounds weird for a 6800xt. I have the xfx rx 6700 10gb non xt and 1440p RDR2 i sit around 70-90fps (with some lower shadows etc) Did u check ur graphics settings? Ray tracing etc? What cpu do u have? You should not need to overclock anything on that card to get normal performance :)
@@garethsutherland9649 I have a 12600KF paired with 32gb ddr5 6000Mhz CL 30 RAM, but I fixed the issue, I reseated it and did a fresh windows install and for whatever reason that fixed it. Now up to the normal performance lol mainly went to OCing since I read a good amount of people with underpreforming 6800xts that got their performance up to normal by OCing
What an excellent tutorial! Having just move over from Nvidia to AMD this was exactly what I needed, to be able to navigate through and locate all those AMD setting and optimise my XFX MERC 319 RX X6600 XT. Thank you Daniel
Thanks mate - I completely forgot about these settings. I just wanted my 7900XTX to STFU with its massive cooler, and every review saying its quiet card. Actually getting a few hundred points extra in 3DMark with lower voltage, lower clock speeds and a better fan curve.
I always leave the power tuning maxed out at 15%. It just means the card will use it if it needs it. I've heard you get better results by setting you minimum frequence 100 mhz less than your max. Lastly all cards are a bit different. For example my Strix 6800 XT will OC to 2.75ghz but the sweet spot seems to be 2.65ghz max/2.55ghz min. Using Time Spy graphics score is a good way to tune your card and the Demo of 3D Mark has Time Spy for free on Steam it's how I got it. There is decent performance to be gained with all RX 6000 cards by overclocking.
I never bothered on my 2070 because the performance gain wasn't noticeable enough for the increased fan noise, but this 6800xt actually makes some noticeable performance gains and the undervolt helps keep the temps down.
TIme spy good for stable min settings and power but not for max frequency. If you set your max freq after time spy you will loose performance in games that isnt as heavy on the load,..for example Warzone.
@@danielowentech one good tip would be to use the 100 MHz min-max frequency difference in more demanding titles or when you want a stutter-free gaming experience. Also it’s best when this is used together with Radeon Chill (like you pointed out). Otherwise, leaving the lower frequency at stock for non-demanding titles won’t affect your gaming experience, but will save you the wasted power consumption and give you better thermals.
Hi, i read on the internet that you need mpt to undervolt/oc gpu, is that true? what is the difference between using mpt or the wattman software? thank you
RDR2 went from 81 FPS to 90 FPS & this is over an already factory OC card (2350 instead of 2250 MHz), all-in-all quite an impressive result, I would say! And the best thing? The Watt counter only went up by 15 Watts max (2500 MHz).
True, he seems to have a good silicon on that GPU, although to be fair he needs to stress test it with 3D Mark Time Spy. I found out that my +10% OC (like he has here) is actually crashing hard in that test and only a +5% OC is stable on my RX 6700 XT, so that was a bummer. Also how is this OC-UV cooler when the stock actually runs at 66C and the OC-UV at 68C? Is no one noticing that? Just look at the end of the video when he switches back to default the temps actually go lower...
When my thumbnail says faster and cooler it means OC makes it faster, UV makes it cooler. If you push the OC too hard it isn't cooler than stock, but it is much cooler than trying to run that OC without the UV. I actually can get it both faster and cooler than stock if I do the UV with a smaller OC and faster memory timings.
@@danielowentech Alright. Have you tried that stress test in 3D Mark Time Spy? That's the test that makes or breaks an OC/UV as I found out, more than Heaven, Superposition, Furmark or any other systematic test or game test. If it passes that, then the GPU tuning is rock solid stable.
Great video. Think of the folks watching on mobile. We can’t read anything in the screen. Get some magnification tool that shows a zoomed area around your cursor to show what you’re doing. Improves legibility on the phone. Thanks again.
I know this is from a while ago, but I’ve heard that using multiple performance metrics apps causes race conditions which affect the results apparently
I like overclocking. I have the 6900 xt powercolor ult version. My card can go up to 2750 hertz and gain 20-30 FPS against some 6900 xt in some areas in RDR2. With the in game benchmark, the average FPS was 110-117 with max settings. (1440)
@@Kuroganemk2 pretty good. From my experience, my 6900 xt can go 2750 MHz. With that, it’s pretty good against both 3080 ti/3090 in rasterization. It can beat both of them in a majority of games at 1440p. In most games, my card can get me at least 110-120 or more frames. Demanding games/areas can get around 90. Granted, if you get the regular xtx cards, its overclocking and overall performance is not as good as the xtxh cards. I’m fairly certain you can still get similar performance tho. So basically, I recommend the 6900 xt.
I have a Reference 6900 XT so I probably don't have as much headroom as yours with the Reference's shitty air cooler, but I'm still surprised how well the 6900 XT overclocks.
Great video! Quick questions: 1. Why not set the minimum clock to 100 below max? 2. Does custom fan settings in Adrenalin affect just the gpu fan, cpu fan, case fans or every fan in the case?
08:27 Wow. Did they add ZeroRPM with custom profiles again? Was it included in a driver update (im still on 20.12.1 from des.2020) or is it only available for newer GPUs (like RX 6000 series)? My Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse has been missing Zero RPM for several years. Only way to activate it is editing the profile in notepad. But I have to do that every time I save a profile.
that's curious. I have it for my rx 6700 xt and I absolutely hate it. And after every time I start up my pc, I have to manually go to the radeon software and load my custom profile, because by some random reason it always go back to stock (only the fan curve, not the rest of the frequencies). Another thing, I just upgraded from an rx 5600 xt, and a vega 56 before that. None of them had zero rpm as an official feature like the rx 6000 does
@@leandrofod My Sapphire V56 Pulse has always had ZeroRPM as an option. Only issue is that at some point it got removed if you activate "Advanced Control" (under Fan Tuning) and my GPU would then idle at 1350RPM. I actually used an old driver for a long time because of this, until I found out you could activate it by edit the profile in notepad. So I am pretty sure your old 5600 XT and V56 had the ZeroRPM option if you didnt use "Advanced Control" (under Fan Tuning). Havent experienced "only" the fan curve resetting myself.Do you have Msi Afterburner (seems to be making this issue for others) or some other fan controlling software installed? If you still use your old GPUs and want to have ZeroRPM with custom fan profiles you can try this: "Go to "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\AMD\CN" and edit the custom profile (in notepad or similar) you have made through Adrenaline. Find this line: Change it from False to True. Save and then load the profile again through Adrenaline. It should now activate the Zero RPM function with a custom profile. Note that every time you save the profile through Adrenaline you need to manually change the line to True again."
@@pantzman yeah I do use afterburner a lot. The solution I found is creating a fan curve in it instead of the amd software. I know if I didn't use afterburner that wouldn't be a problem, as this is a software compatibility issue. But looks like setting a profile through afterburner loads the correctly and automatically at startup
Got mine at a stable undervolt with stock clocks, higher score in Timespy which also passed, and taking 270watts maximum while also down 3 degrees celsius.
I actually got a 6900 xt running on a 650w corsair and no problems. However because it is advised to run on 850w psu so i bought a 1000w psu and got major coilwine. So with the help of this i will try to undervolt to minimize the annoying coilwine! Thx
Love a little undervolt and overclock. Got my non xt Rx 6800 in the top 2 percent of 6800s on time spy. It is actually scoring higher than over half over Rx 6800xts tested on time spy. Pretty crazy how well these cards undervolt and OC.
@@TheRealOne2077 turned power limit all the way up, undervolted to 960mv. GPU clock min is 2300 max is 2400 (you can go a little higher than this, but it's not worth it IMO). Turned memory clock speed to 2112 and enabled fast memory. All done in adrenaline software. Turned off zero rpm mode. Gets great performance and stays at 60c when gaming.
Thanks for this vid! I haven't messed around with overclocking in several years, and this newer Adrenaline software is all new stuff to me (used to just do everything in Afterburner). I also have a 6800 XT, I'm going to start messing with things right now.
man in the beginning when you said switching to amd and experiencing the software... ive been on nvidia for years and just switched to AMD and I really like the Amd adrenalin software its really fresh seems like more options
me too. its so cool. everything in one place.... like for real. its so cool for people who even want SLIGHT changes. i only undervolted -100mV, + 100mhz max freq, 10% + power consumption and fast timing in vram. and if its placebo or not. games run better and cooler. and the card will last longer. rx 6800 pulse here.
Great video as always Daniel! Just to share, I usually under volt to 1000 and still get same performance as you from what I can see, but with around 150-200W tops. Fan speed at 1500rpm and gpu at 50-60C due to the undervolt. MSI X trio 6800xt here so all cards are different right! Cheers Edit: tried on new 1440 ultra wide from 1440p and have mostly same stats as you but a quite cooler. Just lowering volt to 1000-1010 (if stable) should do the trick for 10C+- cooler gpu for 5ish fps less, more importantly so for its longevity
I simply under volt my GPUs. Thanks you for the guide, fact is with Nvidia being greedy more people are likely going to see this video again looking to get the best temps and performance The Fast memory setting is sweet to have, would have never noticed it anytime soon if it wasn't for your video.
Just out of curiosity , what were your ambient room temps and humidity level at defaults clocks? they seem to be quiet cooler than what i've seen most Rx 6800xt ref. model
Room was around 70 degrees f. I had the side open on my case to help temps since this case has awful thermals. Normal operation temps are higher with the case closed.
Will try these on my rx570. One thing to note is that there are not as many options as you showed on older cards like my rx570. I am on the latest radeon software drivers
I have a 6700xt and a 6900xt and when I click on the overclock button, all it ever does is continue spinning. Is there something else I need to enable?
I'm running stock frequency tuf 6800xt at 1.00v and fast timings with no increase in frequency and gained a percent or 2 and dropped 21 degrees of hotspot down to 64. Fans are quieter and using 85w less power. Amazing card. .98v crashes and I always look to bump up one more notch
Yeah, actually like running mine with similar settings. I can push hard like I do in this video, but I actually usually just do an undervolt with fast timings to keep the fan noise and temps down. It makes a huge difference in fan noise.
@@danielowentech I'm at WQHD so max out most games stock at 120fps ( best settings for overdrive for my monitor) so I don't need to push it more, just become more efficient. Love your content to man, missed you in that gap in uploads a few months ago haha. Hi from Australia
I have the Strix 6800XT LC...I set my clock to 2400, 1000volt, fast timing 2150mem. I barely see higher than 50c/65c on hotspot. Performance is exact same as right out of the box
ive never overclocked oder undervolted a card, but iam aware, that overclocking results depend on silicon lottery, but what about undervolting? whats the average here, when it comes to power consumption. iam assuming theres range, but how big is it? can it be, that i end up with a card, that only goes down from 350 watts to 330? or is it reasonable to assume, that every card, can at least get -50 watts? when power is 40 cents per kwh and will only rise, this is something i now keep an eye one, especially, since my wife has her own pc
Do you have to undervolt the CPU as well when doing the GPU? I have a 6800XT & i7 13700k combo, with a Gigabyte Aero G Z790 motherboard - my room is a sweat lodge. Will undervolting just one of them upset anything else?
Interesting, was messing with my 6800xt in rdr2 yesterday and got a few crashes. I play with everything at ultra and get 65 /70 fps at 2k. Big upgrade from my strix 1070.
I've had a hard time undervolting and overclocking. I can set the sliders to 1000mv and 2600mhz but when you actually look at what you're getting, it doesn't undervolt. Even when set at 1000mv it just runs at 1150 anyway. Not sure why that is but it happened in this video as well.
I not sure where I read or saw this but I guess that is because above certain amount of Mhz it will automaticly put more volt. So I was told to keep the clock under 2500 so 2499 on a 6900xt. That way it should not kick in the high voltage. But i dont remember where i saw
sir when i turn on the fast timing for VRAM tuning, my screen immediately turns black. Can u tell me why? (I am using RX 6600 and my total power is 600W)
Old video for sure, I got a 6800XT Reference in Jan 2020 to do 4k 120Hz gaming. Still using it. Ended up water colling it, fully custom job by me. Mix of parts, res, block etc... But yes I run 2525 by 1050mv with a 275W power preset.... just for the sake of keeping it cool.... as I don't really need more power and didn't wanna stress it out, works fine. Rams not really overclockable on mine and yeah really best to not mess with ram. I am going to upgrade the 240mm radiator setup to a 360mm just to give it that bit more headroom......... but I mean it's 2023 now and you still don't need more then this really. The 4070 just came out now and is at the price point atleast in Australia around what the reference 6800XT was so I'm happy with that if this card fails I'll have virtually a direct replacement for it.
Should I be running MSI Afterburner to control the GPU's fans in conjunction with AMD Adrenalin to undervolt? Also, AMD Adrenalin says SAM isn't available on my PC even though I am running a Ryzen 9 5900X and a Radeon RX 6700 XT.
I'm a new builder, recently build a pc with a 6700xt, I'd be grateful if you could also explain the power draw difference after oc and uv and before, I'm bit concerned on the power draw as I'd like to have it at the minimum, thank you.
I have changed the settings as much as possible in the software and my clock speed goes to to its peak but drops straight down to low speeds again pretty much straight away. I think it is to do with my power consumption being at 24w, and it wont go up when I'm playing my games even when I crank the limit to an extra 15% because it was already super low in the first place.
You really should give 7 Days to Die a shot. It's the only game that I've felt the need to mess with settings on - because my PC runs it fine on 1440p (monitor max plus only a 5700xt) but causes GPU temps to skyrocket (110c hot spot) and the fans to go full hair dryer so I started playing with these settings. (so far, no luck finding a setting that will let me run it at 1440P without hair dryer effect)
Any advice for 6800xt . When I play Fortnite I get massive FPS drop from 300 to like 60 . I tried setting clock speed from min 2300 max 2400. Still drops to like 500 and get big lag / stutter
Hey. I also have a 6800XT and use MSI afterburner and Rivatuner to setup a overlay. But how to make it show the actual power usage (WATT) it only stays at 0 or 1V all time? i see it works for you here. Sorry for offtopic ;)
Ive heard someone mention that you can end up loosing performance if you just bump the memspeed to 2150 and think its fine. Seems the timings automatically get loosened over 2100, so was told 2100 was the sweetspot.
Interesting. I general, to lock in the absolute best OC you should run a benchmark after each small change to make sure performance is actually improving.
Yes, that is also best if you can run tests that are easily repeatable. I checked Gamers Nexus' review, and for the 6800XT there was quite a noticeable difference in their benchmark score (synthetic) between 2100 and 2150 memspeed. Ofcoz that might not show up in gaming workload, but they pointed out that it was something to be aware off. For the non XT the difference was smaller, so maybe that one is less bw limited in synthetic than the XT.
Same gpu but red dragon from powercolor, undervolt is only possible to 1080 with my 5800x3d undervolt allcore -25 pbo. I dont know why but if i go further down on gpu the pc blackscreen-reboot without any hints. Something with this gpu and cpu doesnt work well on to strong undervolting both If you undervolt this gpu f.e. 1050 alan wake 2 crushes and print out driver issue
I'm looking to get this beast of a gpu but I have 600w psu. Hopefully you're guide will help me reduce the overall power wattage so I don't need to buy a new psu :)
I must have scrapped the bottom of the bin for silicon, I swear. I try the auto undervolt and I crash almost right away. I've tried to undervolt from 1200mv- in 5 mv increments and crashed. I have never tried overclocking as the GPU hotspot can reach 105c if I stress it too hard. And overclocking would just roast my card. The only way I can control the hotspot temperature is to reduce my GPU clock by about 100Mz and still be stable.
undervolting is a must, greatly reducing power consumption & temp while losing almost nothing 😂 most cards can go 50-100mV lower. stability is not an issue when you get the sweet spot
im with overclocking to 2730mhz however i cant undervolt and if i go to base clocks with undervolting i lose 10FPS+ ... soo its not worth it in my case, my GPU is "Sapphite Toxic RX 6900XT extreme edition" with my OC i get 110FPS at 3444*1440 at rdr2 on ultra
I have a CoolerMaster MWE 650W Bronze V2 PSU, Can it handle the 6800xt ? I'm going to undervolt it, Also my cpu is 5600x and 32GB RAM RGB, 2 NVME SSD 1TB Each.
The performance gain for overclocking the 6800xt is negligible. would rather just undeclock it and tweak the fan curve a little to get a comfortable 60-70s degrees while under load.
right now I'm running 4 monitors, 3 -27in as one for gaming but will be switching over to running one 49in ultra wide so in the end it will be like having 4 still, lol. I've upgraded gpu from the 6700xt nitro+ sapphire, they offer their own program Trixx so not sure if I should go with it and leave the amd settings alone or combine them. I will try this however and see what happens since nothing out there for multiple monitors. do like how you talked about things, not like so many others that just talk about it because it worked for them but have no clue outside that
Hi. Great video there. Thanks. Question please. I am switching over from Gigabyte GTX 1080Ti to ASUS RX 6900XT LC and would like to learn about undervolting for lower GPU temp. Can undervolting be done automatically like how overclocking is done?
What model are you using ?? I have a toxic from sapphire the one with 360 rad .... and if i let it auto by default at 2499mhz on core , the junction temps go at like 91 degreese ..... but edge temp stay like 64/66 . Is it normal for a hybrid gpu to have these temps o.O? Should i repaste maybe ?
@@oneblood100 i've noticed that 6000 gpus from amd have high temps . I repasted mine , like the guy from the video . Now i have not more then 55 on edge temp and max max 72 on junction temp. I think they use bad paste or bad application . I used on mine thermal grizzly kryonaut
If it makes things cooler, I don't get why they wouldn't just default undervolt it for you? Whats the real catch? What is being sacrificed. Shouldn't they know the min voltage needed for everything to work.
@@danielowentech Depending on resolution and your preference 20-80% is a good range to try it at, as someone who went back to NVIDIA it was very hard to do without RIS, it gave my games a huge quality boost so I really recommend experimenting with the values and see if it's for you
@@VargVikernes1488 I'm pretty sure its different, one sharpens the entire image or different parts but AMDs CAS is the best sharpener out there which you can use in reshade but 1. Reshade doesn't work with every game and 2. Reshade CAS has a performance hit whereas AMD's RIS does not
@@Hybred they are the same algorithm. Nvidia added it week after AMD released it as open-source code. Don't believe me? Use your eyes. I had gtx 1080, used Reshade, then switched to freestyle filter in Experience week later, and in a month to control panel, after they added it there too. Now I have 6900 XT and I can tell there's 0 difference between them. If anything, Nvidia's solution is better, because you can set the level of small detail to ignore (film grain slider) and you can have even higher level of sharpness than with AMD. Both filters manage to avoid having black borders around objects unlike primitive sharpness filters such as one that's used in RDR2.
I go from 14000 graphics points to 16300 undervolting the 6800 to 940 millivolts. Also even thought it says the Radeon 6800 clock speed is 1800 but mine always runs close to 2200.
I love undervolting. Cooler card, more efficient (kicks less heat out into the room), same or faster performance. When I had a rx570 in an oven of a case undervolting increased its performance by 20%
Same here! I do it to both my CPU and GPU my 3060 consumes 130w down from its stock 170w. max temp 49c on air was 53c.
When I ran my vega 56 it undervolted really well... That along with memory OC (hbm2 overclocks really well) game around 10-15 extra performance. Then tuning the fan curve to kick in earlier at low speed actually ment that the temperature would never really get high enough to raise fan speed
Have you tried an open case design? In some cases, that can drop temps by up to 10° or so.
@@ShanyeSoT thats what I'm planning or I don't know why people haven't done this a wind tunnel like case with a dry air cooler or air-conditioner and then andthe side closer the the hardware itself a another vent /fan to pull out the the stagnet or extra hot or col air to keep a unrestricted flow of cold air I mean not very safe but under the right Temps and with the right set up I think you could keep your pc chilly ash with some minor alterations to a cupboard or stand all you reall need is along cardboard box and tin foil or white paint since black absorbs heat another thing iv thought are white pc cases keep stuff colder then thought about it but white reflects and relases heat fast as it can't hold it there fore allowing the air-conditioned and fan to suck up all the heat and just keep a kcoe cold endearment if you made a gladd you could make a little thingg like an aquarium or indoor garden but use separate room within the encloser to ensure your not qcukty damaged the pc but have se nice scenery around it imagine the air conditioner makes alot of air so you can have some.mono bush's or trees and they would wave abit as you play get I don't know I'm think about ways to improve the design but an open type case is what I want becuz 1 free 2 easyer 3 colder lmfao

First thing's first, black doesn't absorb heat, it absorbs light.
Second, unless that all sounds really fun to you, it's probably not going to be worth your time and you're sacrificing so much space and cosmetic value.
Not to mention, you'd sound like you're in a NYC laundromat to everyone you talk to through the mic lol.
Maybe just try liquid cooling instead?????
Thanks, I have been watching your content for awhile but your recent 6800 XT videos have been truly useful as I just traded my 3080 Tuf for an Asrock Taichi 6800 XT. Getting used to tuning AMD has been fun.
Welcome to 110c junction temp club.
Did you undervolt your taichi? How is it going?
Once you undervolt and crank the fans to 80 your junction should be around 75 to 80c
@@collinschafer8454What do you mean by cranking the fans to 80? What value/unit is that exactly? And won’t cranking the fans reduce fans lifespan?
@@AdrianMuslim he means 80%, and as long as the fans aren't running at 100% at all times it won't shorten lifespan
Powerful built-in software! I think the idea of this came in the RX580 era, it's now more mature and very useful tool overclocking has never been much easier than this.
7:47 If you increase your memory Frequenzy its quiet possible that your game runs slower in the end, because if you increase the slider you also automatically incraese your Vram Timings.
So its possible that a game works a lot better with Timings than with Mhz. Most people i know tend to use 2124 Mhz. It seems to be the best balance between Frequenzy and Timings.
Interesting, thank you for the tip gonna try 2124!
@@SwedishLatino id like to post a link but youtube will insta delete my post then, so just look for it urself =)
quite* not quiet. Quiet means hush.
I use 2112 just because it offsets by 12 so if i select 2100 it ends up 2088 which triggers my OCD 😂
2112 ends up 2100
I spent a week figuring out an 6900xt toxic le and some powercolor models this is what I found works best.
1. I used superposition at first because that's a quick test of like 4 minutes.
2. test using different memory clocks. most of these cards do better the higher you go, but not all, including mine. mine does best at 2100mhz. save that profile.
3. then test the memory timings. see if fast or default is faster. save over the same profile
4. move on to the undervolt. using 20-30 mv increments decrease the voltage until it no longer increases or your scores start to drop. save over the same profile at the best mv level.
5. now to power. increase the power percentage 1-2% increments but you can start near 108% bc most of these can do at least that. some keep improving all the way to 115% but some stop earlier and you'll just be wasting watts of yours is one of those. then you have your best settings. save that profile. I ussually go over to timespy then and see if any tweeking helps. got both the red devil and toxic to over 22000 on timespy. the toxic has the better gpu the red devil I has better memory though.
When you say "test using different memory clocks" and mention that you use 2100mhz, are you talking about GPU clocks or VRAM clocks? If vram, are you not adjusting GPU clock? If GPU, are you not adjusting memory clock and only changing timing?
@@ownzies100 GPU clock first. At the end I'd boost the memory.
I also have the 6800XT and a 650 watt power supply. I tried it out with your setting straight after watching the video and it worked! Good job!
Just ordered a 6800xt with the same power supply. Have you had any issues with power draw? Also what’s your cpu? Thanks, feeling anxious
@@A_Person1601 I have used 6800xt with 650 watt power supply for nearly 3 years with no issues at all. My cpu is i5 10600k.
Totally agree on the software. I've owned Nvidia cards and IMO, their interface is outdated by comparison. I also got better results with the AMD overclock tool than MSI afterburner.
AMD is doing better in software now. I'd love to see you get a Ryzen CPU to enable SAM/re-size Bar. That tends to give you a boost on top of your oc/uv.
the "bad radeon drivers" myth was born amid AMD's clusterfuck years, when RTG had near 0 funding. Now situation is massively different, so i think future is pretty bright for Radeon software team.
Im pretty sure intel supports SAM/resizeable bar. As far as I know its a feature thats always been there but AMD was the first utilize its performance.
Intel does but the motherboard has to support it mine does not 😢
I have a b660 + 13500, I do have resize bar option
Also love the AMD driver software. Came a long way compared to the old crimson drivers. I just use the auto undervolt feature.
How do you use the auto undervolt feature
@@bobbymiller5297 Go to the tuning tab. He shows you here 0:48 .
Performance > Tuning > Undervolt. Clicking *undervolt* will apply an auto undervolt. You can undervolt further than the auto value, but you'll have to do some stability testing
@@Premises187 thank you. That worked and I also did the radeon chill..
Because this gpu puts out some heat plus my cpu does and it's cooking me out of my room
Glad your card is compatible with overclocking and Undervolting in RDR 2 etc... Love the 8.56 "Funzies"
The problem with the 2.6ghz and beyond is that my temps and fan noise get too high so I dont keep those settings. I need a better case. I had my glass side panel open in this video to keep temps down. They are much worse with it on. In normal use I just undervolt with fast timings and a small OC to keep the fan quiet.
@@danielowentech yea it's the usual compromise of fighting to keep the temps down. Short of using liquid nitrogen, ie a Steve Burke job, you need a expert super airflow cooled case with quiet fans!
I'll just toss some ice water on it from my water bottle. That should help keep it cool.
@@danielowentech ha ha become a comedian as well as a math teacher multi skilled
I have a Ryzen 5800X CPU on an ASRock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 Motherboard and an ASRock Radeon RX 6800 XT Phantom Gaming D 16G OC GPU. The Adrenalin Edition graphics drivers (and software) coupled with Ryzen Master and the AMD x570 chipset drivers make overclocking and undervolting both GPU and CPU fairly easy. I was using only Intel CPUs and NVIDIA GPUs for several generations prior to my upgrade these componets. Tweaking both graphics and CPU have never been easier.
Just for clarification, if you increase the powerlimit the power consumption will go up regardless of undervolting. Undervolting will then just make it able to draw a higher current within the same power envelope.
edit. not a cretisism, since i really enjoy your videos which i find very informative. I love the way it's based around your own system rather than showing a whole lot of benchmarks. I'ts good to have someone talking honestly about benefits and shortcomings on one specific system.
yes but the power limit doesn't mean it draws that much power all the time, only when its needed. so most of time when it's not needed, it runs on a lot less power.
Wow, i did this and temperatures lowered around 10°c and gain some performance too! No need to limit fps anymore to lower temps!
Mine too it's sick
Great video. Finally someone praising the AMD software rather than people bashing it who more than likely never used it.
Also a good tip is to try and raise your min GPU clock in GPU bound games. Like RDR2 setting your min GPU clock speed to around 100-200MHz lower than your max can really help eliminate some stutters or clock drops you can get otherwise.
I would only set this on per game basis and not globally. For instance I have a min clock speed of 2400MHz and a max of 2600MHz. It does drop below 2400MHz in some cases but 95% of the time during a game it stays around the 2500MHz range.
This doesn't play well with undervolting though.
AMD/Radeon 'bashers' are just hard headed Intel / Nvidia fan GIRLS ! 🤣
@@gertjanvandermeij4265 Not all of them are. Nvidia and Intel both have great products and software. Being a fan of a corporation that doesn't care about you is not the way to go about things.
wish they had a apply OC at startup option.
My gpu keeps getting reset thanks to all the power outage in my area
I struggled with the undervolt too.. I use a Sapphire Nitro+ 6800xt. I had my clocks at 2700-2600MHz but the temps were at 90-100c, dropped volt from 1150Mv-1000Mv but no volt was really stable. Left mine at 1150mv, and dropped the clocks to 2500-2400MHz. set a maximum frame rate of 144, and its beautiful 80c tops, average of 60-80.
Like you say, set the OC to each game and not globally. But I do think with a liquid block, I can push mine to 2700.
Also on the new 6950x its unstable to use fast timings on VRAM...
literally ,was doing this yesterday! I keep finding videos in your channel of stuff im either thinking of or doing. Amazing!
I only klicked on this video to see how undervolting goes in this new AMD app because last time I used Radeon card was RX470 and the app sucked back then. Later I used Afterburner to set up curve, power draw and memory clock on my GTX1070 and it was superb, more performance and waaay cooler. However now that I am on the 6800XT and the time came for undervolting again I was curious if I can do it in the AMD app and your video presented it perfectly. Good job!
Ahh what a dream! My Powercolor Red Dragon 6800XT cant even run 1050mv at 2000mhz let alone 2500! It's nice to see that a lot of people can overclock/undervolt but for me its a case of being happy it works at stock!
i have the exact same card. noisy as fuck. but i could do like in the video and still lower that f*** noise by at least half and gained at least 4°c.
tested on totalwar warhammer3. dumno if it will be stable in the long run but so far so good.
try to do all the changes in the video (keep the gpu frequency at 2500, not 2600) all at once! (do'nt change one thing after another.) then apply.
see if it still work. if not please tell me in what game it did not. (or if it crash randomly even on desktop)
I'm smart enough, *to keep my PC in my cellar* ( where it it much cooler ) and ramp up the speed on the GPU fans to 90%. And with that, I have an agressive OC on my Radeon 6700XT ( up to even 15% in some games ) . I just run an display and USB (extension) cable to a splitter to my room, for my keyboard and mouse, etc. and an selfmade on/off button. There is also an AC unit in the cellar, so everything runs pretty cool ( everything UNDER 65 degrees C ) while having massive overclocks, on my GPU and Ryzen CPU ! And NO noise in my room above ! I love this setup !
Cloud gaming sevices are shaking and crying right now
I have 3080 and now I have msi 6800xt for my other build and I can definately say that amd's software is very basic and very EASYYY to use
I really appreciate this, I recently got a 6800xt but for whatever reason it was massively under-performing, like, 30fps in RDR2 at 1440p and barely cracking 50 even with the lowest possible settings, I'm going to follow this guide and hope that it helps get it to the performance it should be at to hopefully avoid the hassle of a return.
Hi pal, hope you doing great, I’m really curious how that went, did the gps went up? I hope they did
@@danieleduardo8767 ended up reseating it, and reinstalling windows, that with a slight overclock got me up to normal performance.
Hi m8! Hmm that sounds weird for a 6800xt. I have the xfx rx 6700 10gb non xt and 1440p RDR2 i sit around 70-90fps (with some lower shadows etc)
Did u check ur graphics settings? Ray tracing etc? What cpu do u have? You should not need to overclock anything on that card to get normal performance :)
@@garethsutherland9649 I have a 12600KF paired with 32gb ddr5 6000Mhz CL 30 RAM, but I fixed the issue, I reseated it and did a fresh windows install and for whatever reason that fixed it. Now up to the normal performance lol
mainly went to OCing since I read a good amount of people with underpreforming 6800xts that got their performance up to normal by OCing
What an excellent tutorial! Having just move over from Nvidia to AMD this was exactly what I needed, to be able to navigate through and locate all those AMD setting and optimise my XFX MERC 319 RX X6600 XT. Thank you Daniel
Thanks mate - I completely forgot about these settings. I just wanted my 7900XTX to STFU with its massive cooler, and every review saying its quiet card. Actually getting a few hundred points extra in 3DMark with lower voltage, lower clock speeds and a better fan curve.
I always leave the power tuning maxed out at 15%. It just means the card will use it if it needs it. I've heard you get better results by setting you minimum frequence 100 mhz less than your max. Lastly all cards are a bit different. For example my Strix 6800 XT will OC to 2.75ghz but the sweet spot seems to be 2.65ghz max/2.55ghz min.
Using Time Spy graphics score is a good way to tune your card and the Demo of 3D Mark has Time Spy for free on Steam it's how I got it. There is decent performance to be gained with all RX 6000 cards by overclocking.
I never bothered on my 2070 because the performance gain wasn't noticeable enough for the increased fan noise, but this 6800xt actually makes some noticeable performance gains and the undervolt helps keep the temps down.
TIme spy good for stable min settings and power but not for max frequency. If you set your max freq after time spy you will loose performance in games that isnt as heavy on the load,..for example Warzone.
@@danielowentech one good tip would be to use the 100 MHz min-max frequency difference in more demanding titles or when you want a stutter-free gaming experience. Also it’s best when this is used together with Radeon Chill (like you pointed out). Otherwise, leaving the lower frequency at stock for non-demanding titles won’t affect your gaming experience, but will save you the wasted power consumption and give you better thermals.
Hi, i read on the internet that you need mpt to undervolt/oc gpu, is that true? what is the difference between using mpt or the wattman software? thank you
RDR2 went from 81 FPS to 90 FPS & this is over an already factory OC card (2350 instead of 2250 MHz), all-in-all quite an impressive result, I would say! And the best thing? The Watt counter only went up by 15 Watts max (2500 MHz).
True, he seems to have a good silicon on that GPU, although to be fair he needs to stress test it with 3D Mark Time Spy. I found out that my +10% OC (like he has here) is actually crashing hard in that test and only a +5% OC is stable on my RX 6700 XT, so that was a bummer.
Also how is this OC-UV cooler when the stock actually runs at 66C and the OC-UV at 68C? Is no one noticing that? Just look at the end of the video when he switches back to default the temps actually go lower...
When my thumbnail says faster and cooler it means OC makes it faster, UV makes it cooler. If you push the OC too hard it isn't cooler than stock, but it is much cooler than trying to run that OC without the UV. I actually can get it both faster and cooler than stock if I do the UV with a smaller OC and faster memory timings.
@@danielowentech Alright. Have you tried that stress test in 3D Mark Time Spy? That's the test that makes or breaks an OC/UV as I found out, more than Heaven, Superposition, Furmark or any other systematic test or game test. If it passes that, then the GPU tuning is rock solid stable.
One question Daniel, how to use the radeon performance settings and the MSI metrics without conflicting each other ?
Sweet just got a great deal on an XFX 6800. I always undervolt my cards to get equal performance with less heat.
Great video. Think of the folks watching on mobile. We can’t read anything in the screen. Get some magnification tool that shows a zoomed area around your cursor to show what you’re doing. Improves legibility on the phone. Thanks again.
I know this is from a while ago, but I’ve heard that using multiple performance metrics apps causes race conditions which affect the results apparently
I like overclocking. I have the 6900 xt powercolor ult version. My card can go up to 2750 hertz and gain 20-30 FPS against some 6900 xt in some areas in RDR2. With the in game benchmark, the average FPS was 110-117 with max settings. (1440)
I'm looking at a 6900 xt red devil, think its a good card vs a 3080/3080 ti? How is it for you on 1440p?
@@Kuroganemk2 pretty good. From my experience, my 6900 xt can go 2750 MHz. With that, it’s pretty good against both 3080 ti/3090 in rasterization. It can beat both of them in a majority of games at 1440p. In most games, my card can get me at least 110-120 or more frames. Demanding games/areas can get around 90.
Granted, if you get the regular xtx cards, its overclocking and overall performance is not as good as the xtxh cards. I’m fairly certain you can still get similar performance tho. So basically, I recommend the 6900 xt.
I have a Reference 6900 XT so I probably don't have as much headroom as yours with the Reference's shitty air cooler, but I'm still surprised how well the 6900 XT overclocks.
Great video!
Quick questions:
1. Why not set the minimum clock to 100 below max?
2. Does custom fan settings in Adrenalin affect just the gpu fan, cpu fan, case fans or every fan in the case?
I agree with #1 always do this, as for your #2 No it only effects the GPU fans.
Why the first?
Does anyone know how to save the tune so that it loads up automatically
If the tuning doesnt remain after a pc restart this means it was not stable
08:27 Wow. Did they add ZeroRPM with custom profiles again?
Was it included in a driver update (im still on 20.12.1 from des.2020) or is it only available for newer GPUs (like RX 6000 series)?
My Sapphire Vega 56 Pulse has been missing Zero RPM for several years. Only way to activate it is editing the profile in notepad. But I have to do that every time I save a profile.
that's curious. I have it for my rx 6700 xt and I absolutely hate it. And after every time I start up my pc, I have to manually go to the radeon software and load my custom profile, because by some random reason it always go back to stock (only the fan curve, not the rest of the frequencies).
Another thing, I just upgraded from an rx 5600 xt, and a vega 56 before that. None of them had zero rpm as an official feature like the rx 6000 does
@@leandrofod My Sapphire V56 Pulse has always had ZeroRPM as an option. Only issue is that at some point it got removed if you activate "Advanced Control" (under Fan Tuning) and my GPU would then idle at 1350RPM. I actually used an old driver for a long time because of this, until I found out you could activate it by edit the profile in notepad.
So I am pretty sure your old 5600 XT and V56 had the ZeroRPM option if you didnt use "Advanced Control" (under Fan Tuning).
Havent experienced "only" the fan curve resetting myself.Do you have Msi Afterburner (seems to be making this issue for others) or some other fan controlling software installed?
If you still use your old GPUs and want to have ZeroRPM with custom fan profiles you can try this:
"Go to "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\AMD\CN" and edit the custom profile (in notepad or similar) you have made through Adrenaline.
Find this line:
Change it from False to True.
Save and then load the profile again through Adrenaline.
It should now activate the Zero RPM function with a custom profile.
Note that every time you save the profile through Adrenaline you need to manually change the line to True again."
@@pantzman yeah I do use afterburner a lot. The solution I found is creating a fan curve in it instead of the amd software. I know if I didn't use afterburner that wouldn't be a problem, as this is a software compatibility issue. But looks like setting a profile through afterburner loads the correctly and automatically at startup
Got mine at a stable undervolt with stock clocks, higher score in Timespy which also passed, and taking 270watts maximum while also down 3 degrees celsius.
I actually got a 6900 xt running on a 650w corsair and no problems. However because it is advised to run on 850w psu so i bought a 1000w psu and got major coilwine. So with the help of this i will try to undervolt to minimize the annoying coilwine! Thx
Love a little undervolt and overclock. Got my non xt Rx 6800 in the top 2 percent of 6800s on time spy. It is actually scoring higher than over half over Rx 6800xts tested on time spy. Pretty crazy how well these cards undervolt and OC.

Are the tighter memory timings safe to use? Will that degrade the memory controller of the GPU ?
man in the beginning when you said switching to amd and experiencing the software... ive been on nvidia for years and just switched to AMD and I really like the Amd adrenalin software its really fresh seems like more options
me too. its so cool. everything in one place.... like for real. its so cool for people who even want SLIGHT changes. i only undervolted -100mV, + 100mhz max freq, 10% + power consumption and fast timing in vram. and if its placebo or not. games run better and cooler. and the card will last longer. rx 6800 pulse here.
Great video as always Daniel! Just to share, I usually under volt to 1000 and still get same performance as you from what I can see, but with around 150-200W tops. Fan speed at 1500rpm and gpu at 50-60C due to the undervolt. MSI X trio 6800xt here so all cards are different right! Cheers
Edit: tried on new 1440 ultra wide from 1440p and have mostly same stats as you but a quite cooler. Just lowering volt to 1000-1010 (if stable) should do the trick for 10C+- cooler gpu for 5ish fps less, more importantly so for its longevity
Could you show us your print screen setting on imgur? I have a red devil and I'm new on amd, does not know how to configure my fans and other stuff.
what about changing the minium frequency? my main issue is that i have big fps drops. so far its worked but just curious since it wasnt mentioned
I simply under volt my GPUs.
Thanks you for the guide, fact is with Nvidia being greedy more people are likely going to see this video again looking to get the best temps and performance
The Fast memory setting is sweet to have, would have never noticed it anytime soon if it wasn't for your video.
Wow! Was waiting for your experience with overclocking this card. Nice! I just Subscribed!
Just out of curiosity , what were your ambient room temps and humidity level at defaults clocks? they seem to be quiet cooler than what i've seen most Rx 6800xt ref. model
Room was around 70 degrees f. I had the side open on my case to help temps since this case has awful thermals. Normal operation temps are higher with the case closed.
Will try these on my rx570. One thing to note is that there are not as many options as you showed on older cards like my rx570. I am on the latest radeon software drivers
True, each card is a bit different. Similar principles apply but different specifics.
why does amd radeon software install amd pro when i try to install on my amd radeon r9 m360?
I have a 6700xt and a 6900xt and when I click on the overclock button, all it ever does is continue spinning. Is there something else I need to enable?
A few years later; How much do we love AMD adrenalin today?
How the rivatuner works even adrenaline is on?
Does the adrenaline override the msi after burner?
I'm running stock frequency tuf 6800xt at 1.00v and fast timings with no increase in frequency and gained a percent or 2 and dropped 21 degrees of hotspot down to 64. Fans are quieter and using 85w less power. Amazing card. .98v crashes and I always look to bump up one more notch
Might play with that power slider though and retest but I'm happy with current setup
Yeah, actually like running mine with similar settings. I can push hard like I do in this video, but I actually usually just do an undervolt with fast timings to keep the fan noise and temps down. It makes a huge difference in fan noise.
@@danielowentech I'm at WQHD so max out most games stock at 120fps ( best settings for overdrive for my monitor) so I don't need to push it more, just become more efficient. Love your content to man, missed you in that gap in uploads a few months ago haha. Hi from Australia

ive never overclocked oder undervolted a card, but iam aware, that overclocking results depend on silicon lottery, but what about undervolting? whats the average here, when it comes to power consumption. iam assuming theres range, but how big is it? can it be, that i end up with a card, that only goes down from 350 watts to 330? or is it reasonable to assume, that every card, can at least get -50 watts? when power is 40 cents per kwh and will only rise, this is something i now keep an eye one, especially, since my wife has her own pc
Have said it for s long time. Radeon software is superior to GeForce experience. Got a lot of "hate" for it in the beginning.
Agreed.
Do you have to undervolt the CPU as well when doing the GPU? I have a 6800XT & i7 13700k combo, with a Gigabyte Aero G Z790 motherboard - my room is a sweat lodge. Will undervolting just one of them upset anything else?
Interesting, was messing with my 6800xt in rdr2 yesterday and got a few crashes. I play with everything at ultra and get 65 /70 fps at 2k. Big upgrade from my strix 1070.
can i do this on a rx 6800 version the non xt version i am talking about not the xt version will this guid work on the non xt version rx 6800
I've had a hard time undervolting and overclocking. I can set the sliders to 1000mv and 2600mhz but when you actually look at what you're getting, it doesn't undervolt. Even when set at 1000mv it just runs at 1150 anyway. Not sure why that is but it happened in this video as well.
Hmmmm
I not sure where I read or saw this but I guess that is because above certain amount of Mhz it will automaticly put more volt. So I was told to keep the clock under 2500 so 2499 on a 6900xt. That way it should not kick in the high voltage. But i dont remember where i saw
can confirm, above 2500MHz it automatically jumps to like 1140-1150mV, above 2570 to stock 1175
How is your scaling so small for your windows? I'd like it to look like that.
sir when i turn on the fast timing for VRAM tuning, my screen immediately turns black. Can u tell me why? (I am using RX 6600 and my total power is 600W)
Exactly what we talked about yesterday. Great video love your content
I want to undervolt my rx6600xt XFX swift 210 so did i need to change power limit ? I dont want overclock
Old video for sure, I got a 6800XT Reference in Jan 2020 to do 4k 120Hz gaming. Still using it. Ended up water colling it, fully custom job by me. Mix of parts, res, block etc... But yes I run 2525 by 1050mv with a 275W power preset.... just for the sake of keeping it cool.... as I don't really need more power and didn't wanna stress it out, works fine. Rams not really overclockable on mine and yeah really best to not mess with ram. I am going to upgrade the 240mm radiator setup to a 360mm just to give it that bit more headroom......... but I mean it's 2023 now and you still don't need more then this really. The 4070 just came out now and is at the price point atleast in Australia around what the reference 6800XT was so I'm happy with that if this card fails I'll have virtually a direct replacement for it.
Nice overview, thanks Daniel!
Should I be running MSI Afterburner to control the GPU's fans in conjunction with AMD Adrenalin to undervolt? Also, AMD Adrenalin says SAM isn't available on my PC even though I am running a Ryzen 9 5900X and a Radeon RX 6700 XT.
I'm a new builder, recently build a pc with a 6700xt, I'd be grateful if you could also explain the power draw difference after oc and uv and before, I'm bit concerned on the power draw as I'd like to have it at the minimum, thank you.
I have a xfi swft 6800xt and I do not have a rage mode ? Any suggestions ?
Why no Resize bar?? SAM?
That's why i love AMD you just made your uv profile and you are ready to go. My temps are 60degress for gpu and cpu. Cold as f**k :)
I have changed the settings as much as possible in the software and my clock speed goes to to its peak but drops straight down to low speeds again pretty much straight away. I think it is to do with my power consumption being at 24w, and it wont go up when I'm playing my games even when I crank the limit to an extra 15% because it was already super low in the first place.
Which AMD software is this? I like it. It's simple. Was this in 4K Ultra?
when i turn the power limit up it gets uncontrollably loud
Are you using Resizable BAR with RDR2?
So a psu 700w 80+ Wight is enough for i3 12 100f and rx 6800xt combo?
You really should give 7 Days to Die a shot. It's the only game that I've felt the need to mess with settings on - because my PC runs it fine on 1440p (monitor max plus only a 5700xt) but causes GPU temps to skyrocket (110c hot spot) and the fans to go full hair dryer so I started playing with these settings. (so far, no luck finding a setting that will let me run it at 1440P without hair dryer effect)
Haven't tried that one. Interesting. For me using an undervolt with fast timings near default clocks controls my temps and fan noise really well.
That game is coded like trash and is 100% CPU limited for me with a 5900X
what software are you using to show fps , ram ,temp etc in the left corner of the screen. thank you
msi afterburner
Any advice for 6800xt . When I play Fortnite I get massive FPS drop from 300 to like 60 . I tried setting clock speed from min 2300 max 2400. Still drops to like 500 and get big lag / stutter
Hey. I also have a 6800XT and use MSI afterburner and Rivatuner to setup a overlay. But how to make it show the actual power usage (WATT) it only stays at 0 or 1V all time? i see it works for you here. Sorry for offtopic ;)
Ive heard someone mention that you can end up loosing performance if you just bump the memspeed to 2150 and think its fine. Seems the timings automatically get loosened over 2100, so was told 2100 was the sweetspot.
Interesting. I general, to lock in the absolute best OC you should run a benchmark after each small change to make sure performance is actually improving.
Yes, that is also best if you can run tests that are easily repeatable.
I checked Gamers Nexus' review, and for the 6800XT there was quite a noticeable difference in their benchmark score (synthetic) between 2100 and 2150 memspeed. Ofcoz that might not show up in gaming workload, but they pointed out that it was something to be aware off. For the non XT the difference was smaller, so maybe that one is less bw limited in synthetic than the XT.
Same gpu but red dragon from powercolor, undervolt is only possible to 1080 with my 5800x3d undervolt allcore -25 pbo. I dont know why but if i go further down on gpu the pc blackscreen-reboot without any hints. Something with this gpu and cpu doesnt work well on to strong undervolting both
If you undervolt this gpu f.e. 1050 alan wake 2 crushes and print out driver issue
I'm looking to get this beast of a gpu but I have 600w psu. Hopefully you're guide will help me reduce the overall power wattage so I don't need to buy a new psu :)
I must have scrapped the bottom of the bin for silicon, I swear. I try the auto undervolt and I crash almost right away. I've tried to undervolt from 1200mv- in 5 mv increments and crashed. I have never tried overclocking as the GPU hotspot can reach 105c if I stress it too hard. And overclocking would just roast my card. The only way I can control the hotspot temperature is to reduce my GPU clock by about 100Mz and still be stable.
undervolting is a must, greatly reducing power consumption & temp while losing almost nothing 😂 most cards can go 50-100mV lower. stability is not an issue when you get the sweet spot
Hi m8! Nice one :D
Should i start dropping volts by 50? 1200 to 1150? or 1200 straight to 1100 u think? Thanks for any advice!
im with overclocking to 2730mhz however i cant undervolt and if i go to base clocks with undervolting i lose 10FPS+ ... soo its not worth it in my case, my GPU is "Sapphite Toxic RX 6900XT extreme edition" with my OC i get 110FPS at 3444*1440 at rdr2 on ultra
I have a CoolerMaster MWE 650W Bronze V2 PSU, Can it handle the 6800xt ? I'm going to undervolt it, Also my cpu is 5600x and 32GB RAM RGB, 2 NVME SSD 1TB Each.
Can it undevolt below 100 w, how muxh fps average for 1080p?
The performance gain for overclocking the 6800xt is negligible. would rather just undeclock it and tweak the fan curve a little to get a comfortable 60-70s degrees while under load.
you are my type of videos i LOVE THESE VIDEOS please keep it up :DDD
right now I'm running 4 monitors, 3 -27in as one for gaming but will be switching over to running one 49in ultra wide so in the end it will be like having 4 still, lol.
I've upgraded gpu from the 6700xt nitro+ sapphire, they offer their own program Trixx so not sure if I should go with it and leave the amd settings alone or combine them.
I will try this however and see what happens since nothing out there for multiple monitors.
do like how you talked about things, not like so many others that just talk about it because it worked for them but have no clue outside that
Hi. Great video there. Thanks. Question please. I am switching over from Gigabyte GTX 1080Ti to ASUS RX 6900XT LC and would like to learn about undervolting for lower GPU temp. Can undervolting be done automatically like how overclocking is done?
1:17 automatic unevolting and 6:07 manual undervolting.
What psu do You have for This overclock?
What is the RAGE mode? (Tuning Preset)
What model are you using ?? I have a toxic from sapphire the one with 360 rad .... and if i let it auto by default at 2499mhz on core , the junction temps go at like 91 degreese ..... but edge temp stay like 64/66 . Is it normal for a hybrid gpu to have these temps o.O? Should i repaste maybe ?
I have the same card and issue . Wonder if it’s normal ?
@@oneblood100 i've noticed that 6000 gpus from amd have high temps . I repasted mine , like the guy from the video . Now i have not more then 55 on edge temp and max max 72 on junction temp. I think they use bad paste or bad application . I used on mine thermal grizzly kryonaut
Where to get the software?
Is he playing on 1080p or 1440p? Thanks
If it makes things cooler, I don't get why they wouldn't just default undervolt it for you? Whats the real catch? What is being sacrificed. Shouldn't they know the min voltage needed for everything to work.
Do you use radeon image sharpening?
I havent yet actually.
@@danielowentech Depending on resolution and your preference 20-80% is a good range to try it at, as someone who went back to NVIDIA it was very hard to do without RIS, it gave my games a huge quality boost so I really recommend experimenting with the values and see if it's for you
@@Hybred You can use literally the same sharpening algorithm they've stolen from AMD in Nvidia Control Panel.
@@VargVikernes1488 I'm pretty sure its different, one sharpens the entire image or different parts but AMDs CAS is the best sharpener out there which you can use in reshade but 1. Reshade doesn't work with every game and 2. Reshade CAS has a performance hit whereas AMD's RIS does not
@@Hybred they are the same algorithm. Nvidia added it week after AMD released it as open-source code. Don't believe me? Use your eyes. I had gtx 1080, used Reshade, then switched to freestyle filter in Experience week later, and in a month to control panel, after they added it there too. Now I have 6900 XT and I can tell there's 0 difference between them. If anything, Nvidia's solution is better, because you can set the level of small detail to ignore (film grain slider) and you can have even higher level of sharpness than with AMD. Both filters manage to avoid having black borders around objects unlike primitive sharpness filters such as one that's used in RDR2.
I go from 14000 graphics points to 16300 undervolting the 6800 to 940 millivolts. Also even thought it says the Radeon 6800 clock speed is 1800 but mine always runs close to 2200.
I have a 6700 Xt, any benefit from undervolting but not overclocking? How much should I undervolt?
