Nice video. I learned about undervolting my RX 6800 XT when I watched your video some time back. Anyway, I feel there is little need to OC the GPU clock speed since the improvement is very small.

Great detailed video! Settings worked for me immediately on my 6600s. Performance on NiceHash jumped from 28 MH/s to 31 MH/s in real time. And now the 6600s are running 15 degrees C cooler.
my OC+undervolt setting: 2790MHz clock speed, 2225 Mem clock, 1.095mV (-55mV), +20% power limit. It's not that much faster unless you're running at 58 fps and wanna reach 60fps lol
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions with actual settings. Some TH-camrs clickbait us with "settings" but don't really teach us how.

Awesome video! Just got my Gigabyte 6600XT Eagle and it seems to be a good sample. It's running at 2800 (min) / 2900 (max) frequency at just 1040mV. So far so good!
I just OC'd my 5600x to 4850 (very stable) with undervolt per core at minus and got incredibly lucky with 6600xt at 2900mhz Max and 2800Mhz min at 1120mv (tested in Unigine, 3dmark and AMD stable) with the memory at 2250Mhz (2264) and enabled Smart Access Memory, and all of that on my good old X370 Gaming 5 MOBO :D
Nice bro. I just completed my rx 6600 xt ryzen 5 5600x build. Quickly tested userbenchmark test and it was better than 71% other setups with same parts.
Thanks, this is a great guide for my AMD Sapphire Nitro+ 6600XT! Testing my VRAM OC at 2112Mhz on Fast Timings... other settings same as yours. Will see how it goes! :)
Overclocked my xfx 6600xt swift 210 to 2700 core, 2300 memory and it actually beat my RTX 2080's graphics score in fire strike!, My 6600xt is paired with a 10850k and 2080 is paired with a 5950x
Thanks. I'm using a single fan 6600 XT. The GPU could handle a 2600mhz boost but it was a bit too much for the small heatsink. Dialing down to 2500mhz makes the boost clock more stable and a bit cooler. Managed to undervolt it to 1070mV. I think it could go even lower but benchmarking for stability is a bit of pain, so I'll just leave it there.
@@jerowe_5896 i just leave it on default with latest driver. they tend to prioritize low noise over everything else. i stopped bothering with undervolt too because it makes the fan spins much faster and noisier.
Sorry, what meant to say with my last comment was that I a was a little bit tired to figure out what was wrong with the overclock, I'm trying again now (English is not my first language). Anyway, thanks for your video! Helped me a lot
Awesome! Like always, your videos are the best. I have AMD Radeon XFX SWFT 210 RX 6600XT and my card work best like your settings in this video. Playing RDR2 on 1080p ultra setings ray tracing on and never, never go under 55fps(night in town) average is 70-75fps, with OC like u said in the video...gained aprox 8fps. in future I will replace my monitor for 1440p and i thing will be playable as well :D
i've got the exact same card. I managed to get it stable at 1040 mV. But the card's junction temps still hovers in the 90s when playing Star Wars Fallen Order. Fan speed is set to constant 100%. Am I doing something wrong here?
Works great, thank you very much. Mine is PowerColor Red Devil variant, it can get as low as 1060 mV (undervolt only), and managed to stay stable with your OC values at 1090 mV. Too bad I can't get my memory clock exactly like yours, but it's fine since mine's only 10 MHz lower (2204 MHz).
Thank you for this video. I got a powercolor rx 6600 xt red devil today and I got way better performance on the core with 1100mv and the memory , I was only able to get it to 2180mhz . I got 5 more fps in rdr2 at 1440p almost ultra . From 52fps average to 57fps average. Didn't test any other game cause I didn't test , so yeah , thanks ;) Edit : Now I've been playing rdr2 for like 2 and a half hours and it crashed because of the memory , so I'd going to 2050 mhz will be enough for it to be stable
Yap , I did test with and without fast timings , without it i would get like 20mhz+ on memory , but still get 2fps minus . So its worth keeping on. You think I should return it and get another model? Or the same one ?
Thank you for this video I did not realize how much performance I would get out of this. My card is a beast holy hell I am going to get a 1440p high refresh rate monitor now. Thank you again
It most definitely must be a bug. If your mV caps out at 1070 and you reduce clock speeds on par with that, it will bug out and crash the entire driver regardless of the operation. I do notice when stressing out the gpu and turning down the clocks and voltage slowly, it slightly artifacts at 94% voltage or 1070, which means that the driver must have a built in protection to auto-reset the gpu when it detects slight artifacting? At 95% it's fine for the most part because the core clocks can't hit high enough on the most simplest stress test on furmark lol. GPU Hotspot temps of ~80+ celsius when on stock settings and reducing voltage will drastically reduce the hotspot temps to like 75-76 and such...
Hey brother, thank you so much for this tutorial and very well explained. I got my 6600 xt today. It would be nice if you could show us a tutorial on how to overclock the Ryzen cpu with this graphics card. I have a Ryzen 5 5600x.
@@AncientGameplays yea sorry it's been along time I'm planning on building a new desktop motherboards seem cheap rn cous and gpus expensive but I'ma take advantage of it and grab the msi unifi a less rgb like motherboard similar to the godlike which I can't get in canada where I am rn for soem reason but the unit seems to be on on par a 570 board and has all the nice and features and phases for overclocking a prem board for jsut alow price for 200 last time I seen it for the older version I don't know how many years ago it was nearly 600 pr se shit big price drop but I'm going with a 6700 xt or 6600xt with a ryzen 7 or 5 5600x or xt but for a little but of new arch and few more beefed up ponys is it really worth the almsot hundred bucks more like it should blow most gaming rigs out fo the water while staying relatively cheap for a high end ish build like I got everything wrote down for just under a thousand so far I think it should be abel to demolish most games on max settings 3verythign cranked ect and with a good board I can get some quality ram for it and oc to that to plus I want tonget a real beefy power supply for future upgrades since the route I'm going is to secure the future iv been living off my ps4 as a pc and a an old laptop that can't even run roblox lmfao so over all graphics and proformence wise should be leaps and bounds also what do you think of msi afterburner would it open up more tuning options
this has made a huge difference in my rx 6700 xt by undervoiting. by card is a sapphire pulse and i must say at stock voltage with overclock of 2.7 as min and 2.8 as max wasnt worth it. so i ended up with a undervoit of 1100mv's with clock speeds of 2.6ghz as min and 2.7ghz as maximum and boy this made my fans used to go over 3000rpm. now their running 850rpm up to 1200rpm if the card got warm. thanks so much anicent gameplay for showing this. it just shows that overclocking and undervoiting is a good idea because if the tempture is low and amps and low and voltage is low it will allow the gpu to boost alot more. makes sense just like on ryzen.
@@AncientGameplays yea I agree my junction temp was hitting about 110c and I have changed the thermal paste several times without thinking of undervoiting and by doing so and lowering the core clock by a 100mhz It's worth it.
Do the settings and changes applied in the Radeon software take precedence over any changes made in other programs such as MSI Afterburner? And if so do we need to have the Radeon Software open in the background or in the system tray in order for these changes to have an effect?
Watching your video excites me while the same time make me feel so stupid i could be underperforming than just going ahead undervolting making everything efficient and more performance. I know now i had this all wrong thinking will need more wattage. I have the same gpu but from msi brand.
Hi ! For the 6600XT, I don't OC it because I have a 22 inch screen 1080p 60Hz so I just want to have the better efficiency ! Just the fact to block the GPU at 60fps made a huge difference but with UV/UC is more efficient and I love that ! Consume less, temp under 60-65°C, less noise ... just perfect !
I'm a little slow, I thought this wouldn't help out the whole picture (my whole Pc). It did! All temps are real low on my case now. Also disabled Zero Rpm. thank you so much
Hi, thank you for the video, I'm using Asrock challenger pro, I was successful set my vol to 1060mv, min 2000 max 2640, fast timing and vram Freq is 2338 Mhz. I could increase the max to 2750 or more but it eat more power for me (125W for 2750 and 110W for 2640) but it only increases 0,3 fps in Unheaven benchmark.
My RX 6600 XT has an OC set to Min/Max: 2620 - 2720 MHz and the VRAM set to 2220 MHz, with an UV at 1090mV. I'm going to test it out a while longer to see if it works well. But so far, it passed AMD Adrenalin Stress Test. And I was able to run Heaven Benchmark and Time Spy too.
Good video. I did a benchmark using Heaven and got better performance. - Stock I scored FPS 119, Score 3017, Min Fps 30 and max FPS 245. -OC I scored FPS 147, Score 3722, Min Fps 32 and max FPS 305. Definitively an improvement! Edited, Ill have to play with those value. So far I crash everything with those settings. It doing some pixel everywhere and Im losing the screen.
Increase the voltage by 10mV and try again. Keep doing this until it's stable. If it never becomes stable, the clock speed is too high. Try 2650 MHz, and start dropping voltage again until it crashes. Set it to the minimum that didn't crash, and if it crashes again at any time, raise it by 10mV from that setting. Keep doing this until you find a good spot. Of course, the vram clock and voltage can also cause the crash, so the same idea applies. I hope this helps.
I think I will do the undervolt, mabye a bit more if possible than in video and give memory a little boost and fast timings. It's already a really fast card for 1080p.
@@AncientGameplays so far so good. I also copied how to over clock a 5600x and went from 133 fps to 151 in apex. Huge boost. I am new to gaming pc I appreciate the video’s. Now I have to learn how to over clock the ram
Great Guide! And Very Well Explained! Can't stand the YT Videos that just show a bunch of settings screenshots,etc and NO Details Or Explanations! Thanks!
I settled on; 2600 - 2700mhz 1040mv 2234mhz vram with fast timings For me oc'ing the gpu core was unnecessary. The sizeable increase in temps(especially the hotspot) and the power consumption wasn't worth the marginal performance gain. Instead I undervolted from 1150mv to 1040mv and it had quite an impact on temps. Decreased my hotspot temp from around low 90s to mid 70s with 20% less fan. Anyway, thx for this informative video.
In case anyone wondering, my guess is SAM works on any Ryzen CPU, what matters is that your GPU and Motherboard must support it, I have a Ryzen 2700 non X CPU, B450 Motherboard with latest BIOS with enabled resizable bar ( SAM ) and a 6600 XT GPU, SAM is what enables stable 60FPS on max graphics preset ( prefer graphics slider all the way to the right ) in rdr2, disabling SAM I immediately lose 3-6 FPS, I tested it multiple times with same results.
i used these setting and put them against the auto overclock feature in the software, and the auto overclock got 30 fps more in furmark donut. I singled out each of the steps one-by-one, and I found that the worst offender was setting the minimum gpu clock 100mhz lower than the max clock. If you omit that step, everything else seems fine.
Thx, i bought 6600xt powercolor fighter, set the GPU freq 2700-2800, memory freq 2214 and undervolt to 1040, ran the amd stress test few times with no issue, so i test it to play rdr2 at 1440p for straight 4hrs+ is stable 😄👍, gpu temp under 69c, avrg is 64-65C but i dont get any fps performance, rdr2 bencmark at 1440p only 77fps avrg, with 5600x cpu and 2x8gb 3600mhz cl 19
The fps boost not hapenning is because you're maybe hiting the power restriciton, but well, in 77fps, the gains from 100MHz core on that GPU are minimal
@@AncientGameplays i haven try to tweak it again, quite happy with current performance as i bought the lower end 6600xt model with no backplate, i got stutering sometimes thou, how do i prevent this, the amd adrenaline power increase is 20 for powercolor 6600xt fighter

Hello @ancientGameplays I managed to undervolt my 6600xt to 1000v, if I go any lower the adrenaline drivers crash. am I doing something wrong or did I hit some serious silicon lottery?! 😂😂 I am using cyberpunk benchmark for testing btw
I keep the minimum frequency stock. You have fps drops down to 35-50 sometimes even worse. Fortnite will go steady 120 fps avg and then drop down to 15 and get stuck right at it. Have to leave the match for it to quit even messing with game settings during gameplay stays at 15fps. I went back to stock minimum frequency settings while Max at 3050mhz and it stabilized. Xfx 6650xt Min Freq 700 Max Free 3050 Voltage 1115MV Mem 2300mhz AND TUNE YOUR FANS
For me everything is similar (though didn't bother testing voltage lower than 1100), but with memory clock at fast timings 2214 all the way to 2174 causes artifacts on games and errors in memtestVulkan. Weirdly enough I still get some artifacts even at stock settings on game like Final Fantasy 14, though from what I've read online the game is very prone to artifacting with unstable vram in general. Other games on other engines (Team Fortress 2, Tekken 8, WoTB) don't seem to have this issue, though I've noticed it happen with google chrome for some reason. Overall satisfied with my card but I feel that it is just weaker silicon or already degraded.
Man, your guide worked out great on my new system. I bumped the GPU frequency up to 2700-2800 and Memory frequency to 2214, but needed 1100 voltage. Surprisingly I had no problem beating a boss (Maliketh, the Black Blade) in Elden Ring, but the system restarted when I was checking in at a grace after defeating the boss. BTW, I'm running the MSI MECH 2X Radeon RX 6600 XT 8G OC, and the Power Limit (%) bar is grayed out. I'm using a Cosair RM750x (2018) PSU and 5600X undervolt using PBO2, so it can't be a power issue. I wonder if it's a manufacturer cap on the card.
Yes it's MSI that blocked out being able to tune the Power Limits, I just replaced my 6600xt Mech that I put in my kids PC with an XFX Swift 210 6600xt and to my surprise that option is now enabled. Don't know why MSI did this when the cooler is more than capable of handling more power...
@@sublime2craig Turns out my MSI 6600 XT had more issues than graying out the power limit option, I would get random wattman resets. I ended up returning the 6600 XT and got a Red Devil 6700 XT instead. Everything's smooth and stable now.
@@denniskarlsson6173 Seems MSI made a couple stupid decisions when it comes to the Mech model, plastic backplate and the Power issue... Why MSI!?!? WHY!!!
No matter what overclock or underbolt i do it ALWAYS runs at 1150 i even put it down to 1080 but its always running 1150 no matter what. So during any overclock my gpu hot-spot goes to 99oC then it throttles and if i get overlock to work at 90oC it ONLY gives me extra 3-6fps in games compared to "default" but rans run at 100% loud to try keep it cool Edit: forgot to say yet my idle temps are 42oC but even on default settings temps shoot to 93oC with 70% fan or 92% with 100% fan. Its odd as before i used a benchmark (superpostion) and got score of 7918 with 2900mhz speed but i reinstalled windows 11 on a new ssd. Now i cant get score higher then 6200 or control the voltage and temps at all
These cards uses the same votage for GPU Core and for Memory power controller... Lowest voltage depends not only from Core but from memory controller too :(
@@AncientGameplays There are some limit in frequency, when you reach like 2600mhz, all voltages are ignored and card works with stock voltage 😔... Only GPU-Z shows right voltage at the moment..need to test and find right MHz's 🤮

Awesome video! Just got my Gigabyte 6600XT Eagle and it seems to be a good sample. It's running at 2800 (min) / 2900 (max) frequency at just 1040mV. So far so good!
Nice! Great results there :D

I just OC'd my 5600x to 4850 (very stable) with undervolt per core at minus and got incredibly lucky with 6600xt at 2900mhz Max and 2800Mhz min at 1120mv (tested in Unigine, 3dmark and AMD stable) with the memory at 2250Mhz (2264) and enabled Smart Access Memory, and all of that on my good old X370 Gaming 5 MOBO :D

Nice bro. I just completed my rx 6600 xt ryzen 5 5600x build. Quickly tested userbenchmark test and it was better than 71% other setups with same parts.
do you get any artifacts in games ?
@@maynardcortes1493 None at all, but my drivers twnd to crash from time to time, and it isn't dependent on the gpu utilization, it just happens.

Obrigado!!
Overclocked my xfx 6600xt swift 210 to 2700 core, 2300 memory and it actually beat my RTX 2080's graphics score in fire strike!, My 6600xt is paired with a 10850k and 2080 is paired with a 5950x
Yeap, doesn't surprise me as the 5700XT was already around that card :D
Thanks. I'm using a single fan 6600 XT. The GPU could handle a 2600mhz boost but it was a bit too much for the small heatsink. Dialing down to 2500mhz makes the boost clock more stable and a bit cooler. Managed to undervolt it to 1070mV. I think it could go even lower but benchmarking for stability is a bit of pain, so I'll just leave it there.
Nice to help
Just bought one too. The fan curve is messy tho. Have you gone through the trouble of finding the optimal curve?
@@jerowe_5896 i just leave it on default with latest driver. they tend to prioritize low noise over everything else. i stopped bothering with undervolt too because it makes the fan spins much faster and noisier.
Sorry, what meant to say with my last comment was that I a was a little bit tired to figure out what was wrong with the overclock, I'm trying again now (English is not my first language). Anyway, thanks for your video! Helped me a lot
I am glad that i helped somehow!
Awesome! Like always, your videos are the best. I have AMD Radeon XFX SWFT 210 RX 6600XT and my card work best like your settings in this video. Playing RDR2 on 1080p ultra setings ray tracing on and never, never go under 55fps(night in town) average is 70-75fps, with OC like u said in the video...gained aprox 8fps. in future I will replace my monitor for 1440p and i thing will be playable as well :D
Great to hear. Enjoy your gaming!
i've got the exact same card. I managed to get it stable at 1040 mV. But the card's junction temps still hovers in the 90s when playing Star Wars Fallen Order. Fan speed is set to constant 100%. Am I doing something wrong here?
@@yusufismail1311 tenho a mesma placa com o mesmo problema.
@@yusufismail1311 I have XFX 210swft with only 2 wents...and its pretty low on temps..i cannot believe it. 66/85 digrees

Thank you
Love how speedy you are with this video release, thank you! Also, how did you "disable all metrics from being displayed or logged"? Thx!
Thanks man, also, i always disable the metrics
Works great, thank you very much.
Mine is PowerColor Red Devil variant, it can get as low as 1060 mV (undervolt only), and managed to stay stable with your OC values at 1090 mV.
Too bad I can't get my memory clock exactly like yours, but it's fine since mine's only 10 MHz lower (2204 MHz).
10Mhz do literally nothing, even 50MHz wouldn't render any visible gains
@@AncientGameplays true 🙌
Thank you for this video. I got a powercolor rx 6600 xt red devil today and I got way better performance on the core with 1100mv and the memory , I was only able to get it to 2180mhz . I got 5 more fps in rdr2 at 1440p almost ultra . From 52fps average to 57fps average. Didn't test any other game cause I didn't test , so yeah , thanks ;)
Edit : Now I've been playing rdr2 for like 2 and a half hours and it crashed because of the memory , so I'd going to 2050 mhz will be enough for it to be stable
Have you tried fast timings (damn, you were unlucky on vram)
Yap , I did test with and without fast timings , without it i would get like 20mhz+ on memory , but still get 2fps minus . So its worth keeping on. You think I should return it and get another model? Or the same one ?
I meant to say I got 2150 maximum on it , not 2050 , im gonna do a stress test tonight , see how it goes
@@thelordkiller_ytxxshadowmi8813 how did it go
Thank you for this video I did not realize how much performance I would get out of this. My card is a beast holy hell I am going to get a 1440p high refresh rate monitor now. Thank you again
Thank you for watching and for commenting :D
It most definitely must be a bug. If your mV caps out at 1070 and you reduce clock speeds on par with that, it will bug out and crash the entire driver regardless of the operation.
I do notice when stressing out the gpu and turning down the clocks and voltage slowly, it slightly artifacts at 94% voltage or 1070, which means that the driver must have a built in protection to auto-reset the gpu when it detects slight artifacting?
At 95% it's fine for the most part because the core clocks can't hit high enough on the most simplest stress test on furmark lol.
GPU Hotspot temps of ~80+ celsius when on stock settings and reducing voltage will drastically reduce the hotspot temps to like 75-76 and such...
Love your videos bro! Thanks so much!
Thank you for watching
Can you do one for the 6650xt please 😅
The steps you see here are the same my man :;D
Love your tweak vids💪🏼
Thanks!
Hey brother, thank you so much for this tutorial and very well explained. I got my 6600 xt today. It would be nice if you could show us a tutorial on how to overclock the Ryzen cpu with this graphics card. I have a Ryzen 5 5600x.
Hey man, no need to overclock r5 5600x. In gaming it will perform the same stock vs oc :D
@@AncientGameplays yes and no I feel like it can be underclocked and raised just abit
@@rylanwill6969 not actually. You mean undervolted
@@AncientGameplays yea sorry it's been along time I'm planning on building a new desktop motherboards seem cheap rn cous and gpus expensive but I'ma take advantage of it and grab the msi unifi a less rgb like motherboard similar to the godlike which I can't get in canada where I am rn for soem reason but the unit seems to be on on par a 570 board and has all the nice and features and phases for overclocking a prem board for jsut alow price for 200 last time I seen it for the older version I don't know how many years ago it was nearly 600 pr se shit big price drop but I'm going with a 6700 xt or 6600xt with a ryzen 7 or 5 5600x or xt but for a little but of new arch and few more beefed up ponys is it really worth the almsot hundred bucks more like it should blow most gaming rigs out fo the water while staying relatively cheap for a high end ish build like I got everything wrote down for just under a thousand so far I think it should be abel to demolish most games on max settings 3verythign cranked ect and with a good board I can get some quality ram for it and oc to that to plus I want tonget a real beefy power supply for future upgrades since the route I'm going is to secure the future iv been living off my ps4 as a pc and a an old laptop that can't even run roblox lmfao so over all graphics and proformence wise should be leaps and bounds also what do you think of msi afterburner would it open up more tuning options
this has made a huge difference in my rx 6700 xt by undervoiting. by card is a sapphire pulse and i must say at stock voltage with overclock of 2.7 as min and 2.8 as max wasnt worth it. so i ended up with a undervoit of 1100mv's with clock speeds of 2.6ghz as min and 2.7ghz as maximum and boy this made my fans used to go over 3000rpm. now their running 850rpm up to 1200rpm if the card got warm. thanks so much anicent gameplay for showing this. it just shows that overclocking and undervoiting is a good idea because if the tempture is low and amps and low and voltage is low it will allow the gpu to boost alot more. makes sense just like on ryzen.
Undervolting is a must for most hardware parts, people just don't get it
@@AncientGameplays yea I agree my junction temp was hitting about 110c and I have changed the thermal paste several times without thinking of undervoiting and by doing so and lowering the core clock by a 100mhz It's worth it.
Do the settings and changes applied in the Radeon software take precedence over any changes made in other programs such as MSI Afterburner? And if so do we need to have the Radeon Software open in the background or in the system tray in order for these changes to have an effect?
Very well thaks from spain!
Thank u, this helps me a lot...i just sold my rx560 and bought my 6600xt from that profit...
Great upgrade
@@AncientGameplays thanks bro..🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Really nice video :)
Thank you
Watching your video excites me while the same time make me feel so stupid i could be underperforming than just going ahead undervolting making everything efficient and more performance. I know now i had this all wrong thinking will need more wattage. I have the same gpu but from msi brand.
Hi ! For the 6600XT, I don't OC it because I have a 22 inch screen 1080p 60Hz so I just want to have the better efficiency ! Just the fact to block the GPU at 60fps made a huge difference but with UV/UC is more efficient and I love that ! Consume less, temp under 60-65°C, less noise ... just perfect !
I'm a little slow, I thought this wouldn't help out the whole picture (my whole Pc). It did! All temps are real low on my case now. Also disabled Zero Rpm. thank you so much
You're welcome 💪
that intro was perfect surprised nobody mentioning it, im crying from laughter.
heheheheh
Hi, thank you for the video, I'm using Asrock challenger pro, I was successful set my vol to 1060mv, min 2000 max 2640, fast timing and vram Freq is 2338 Mhz. I could increase the max to 2750 or more but it eat more power for me (125W for 2750 and 110W for 2640) but it only increases 0,3 fps in Unheaven benchmark.
Really good video, thanks man

About the Smart Access Memory it's "resizable bar" inside the motherboard bios. You have enable resizable bar.

vram on 2254MHz on my gigabyte gaming oc 6600xt. much love brother
Legal, eu fiz mesmo tendo tendo um i5 7600k e melhorou um pouco, ainda estou fazendo meu upgrade, valew brother.
My RX 6600 XT has an OC set to Min/Max: 2620 - 2720 MHz and the VRAM set to 2220 MHz, with an UV at 1090mV. I'm going to test it out a while longer to see if it works well. But so far, it passed AMD Adrenalin Stress Test. And I was able to run Heaven Benchmark and Time Spy too.
Great! Test a bit more now :D
A special thank to you because my temp drop from 76 to 66 and I even get more fps in games
Great indeed
Good video.
I did a benchmark using Heaven and got better performance.
- Stock I scored FPS 119, Score 3017, Min Fps 30 and max FPS 245.
-OC I scored FPS 147, Score 3722, Min Fps 32 and max FPS 305.
Definitively an improvement!
Edited, Ill have to play with those value. So far I crash everything with those settings. It doing some pixel everywhere and Im losing the screen.
Great!
what
Increase the voltage by 10mV and try again. Keep doing this until it's stable. If it never becomes stable, the clock speed is too high. Try 2650 MHz, and start dropping voltage again until it crashes. Set it to the minimum that didn't crash, and if it crashes again at any time, raise it by 10mV from that setting. Keep doing this until you find a good spot. Of course, the vram clock and voltage can also cause the crash, so the same idea applies. I hope this helps.
I think I will do the undervolt, mabye a bit more if possible than in video and give memory a little boost and fast timings. It's already a really fast card for 1080p.
I am not experienced in over clocking I am going to try your numbers tonight
Go on, but remember, all cards are different
@@AncientGameplays so far so good. I also copied how to over clock a 5600x and went from 133 fps to 151 in apex. Huge boost. I am new to gaming pc I appreciate the video’s. Now I have to learn how to over clock the ram
@@AncientGameplays I get 3.7 gigabyte of ram in Utilization in the amd driver is that normal? I have 16 gb 3600 mhz
Great Guide! And Very Well Explained!
Can't stand the YT Videos that just show a bunch of settings screenshots,etc and NO Details Or Explanations!
Thanks!
Thank you 💪💪
I settled on;
2600 - 2700mhz
1040mv
2234mhz vram with fast timings
For me oc'ing the gpu core was unnecessary. The sizeable increase in temps(especially the hotspot) and the power consumption wasn't worth the marginal performance gain. Instead I undervolted from 1150mv to 1040mv and it had quite an impact on temps. Decreased my hotspot temp from around low 90s to mid 70s with 20% less fan. Anyway, thx for this informative video.
Seems pretty nice to me. Voltages in game will be higher due to the offset, but the lower tou put in the software the lower the final voltage will be
In case anyone wondering, my guess is SAM works on any Ryzen CPU, what matters is that your GPU and Motherboard must support it, I have a Ryzen 2700 non X CPU, B450 Motherboard with latest BIOS with enabled resizable bar ( SAM ) and a 6600 XT GPU, SAM is what enables stable 60FPS on max graphics preset ( prefer graphics slider all the way to the right ) in rdr2, disabling SAM I immediately lose 3-6 FPS, I tested it multiple times with same results.
It actually depends on the motherbards, only some bios enable sam for ryzen 1000 and 2000, most work only after 3000
very helpfull thank you !
You're welcome
Parabéns pelo vídeo meu amigo, muito bom.
Muito obrigado pelas palavras
i used these setting and put them against the auto overclock feature in the software, and the auto overclock got 30 fps more in furmark donut. I singled out each of the steps one-by-one, and I found that the worst offender was setting the minimum gpu clock 100mhz lower than the max clock. If you omit that step, everything else seems fine.
That seems odd, maybe your GPU vbios doesn't like it or you're simply power restricted
Did u notice that installing afterburner will force all ur oc settings to go to default again after each restart ? Version 24.3.1
Thx, i bought 6600xt powercolor fighter, set the GPU freq 2700-2800, memory freq 2214 and undervolt to 1040, ran the amd stress test few times with no issue, so i test it to play rdr2 at 1440p for straight 4hrs+ is stable 😄👍, gpu temp under 69c, avrg is 64-65C but i dont get any fps performance, rdr2 bencmark at 1440p only 77fps avrg, with 5600x cpu and 2x8gb 3600mhz cl 19
The fps boost not hapenning is because you're maybe hiting the power restriciton, but well, in 77fps, the gains from 100MHz core on that GPU are minimal
@@AncientGameplays i haven try to tweak it again, quite happy with current performance as i bought the lower end 6600xt model with no backplate, i got stutering sometimes thou, how do i prevent this, the amd adrenaline power increase is 20 for powercolor 6600xt fighter
you could make a video about unvervolting so that it consumes as little energy as possible without losing fps (without OC)
When i get my first card 5600 xt your video was the best of the best help me a lot now i just got a gigabyte 6600xt oc pro 3 fan and i fell like i need advice any other advice i will appreciate it
This video will do it :D
great video
💪
Thanks dood! I managed to undervolt it to 1020 and it's cooler and in furmark i got 25 fps more on 1080p 0 msaa
If you will put it at 1105mV it will run stable at 1100mV i have tested it so the small increase will let it actually run with less power
Use 1110mv to be sure it is stable
nice jump from stock to oc in pubg
Indeed :D
thanks!!!!!
I just got a 5600x and a sapphire nitro+ rx 6600 xt, gonna see how hard i can push it xD
Hello @ancientGameplays I managed to undervolt my 6600xt to 1000v, if I go any lower the adrenaline drivers crash. am I doing something wrong or did I hit some serious silicon lottery?! 😂😂 I am using cyberpunk benchmark for testing btw
No just stay at 1000, you hit the sweet spot
What tools do you recommend for testing the GPU and for how long (time) do you recommend testing?
I recommend heavy games
@@AncientGameplays nice , I will try with The Witcher 3 ultra graphics and Watch Dog legion ultra settings
My power tuning always said 0 in the box when at the far right limit. I didn't like that. Thanks for the video.
Thsts because of your model
I keep the minimum frequency stock. You have fps drops down to 35-50 sometimes even worse. Fortnite will go steady 120 fps avg and then drop down to 15 and get stuck right at it. Have to leave the match for it to quit even messing with game settings during gameplay stays at 15fps. I went back to stock minimum frequency settings while Max at 3050mhz and it stabilized. Xfx 6650xt
Min Freq 700
Max Free 3050
Voltage 1115MV
Mem 2300mhz
AND TUNE YOUR FANS
For me everything is similar (though didn't bother testing voltage lower than 1100), but with memory clock at fast timings 2214 all the way to 2174 causes artifacts on games and errors in memtestVulkan. Weirdly enough I still get some artifacts even at stock settings on game like Final Fantasy 14, though from what I've read online the game is very prone to artifacting with unstable vram in general. Other games on other engines (Team Fortress 2, Tekken 8, WoTB) don't seem to have this issue, though I've noticed it happen with google chrome for some reason. Overall satisfied with my card but I feel that it is just weaker silicon or already degraded.
ótima explicação, parabéns.
Obrigado por ver :D
Thanks 👍
Man, your guide worked out great on my new system. I bumped the GPU frequency up to 2700-2800 and Memory frequency to 2214, but needed 1100 voltage. Surprisingly I had no problem beating a boss (Maliketh, the Black Blade) in Elden Ring, but the system restarted when I was checking in at a grace after defeating the boss. BTW, I'm running the MSI MECH 2X Radeon RX 6600 XT 8G OC, and the Power Limit (%) bar is grayed out. I'm using a Cosair RM750x (2018) PSU and 5600X undervolt using PBO2, so it can't be a power issue. I wonder if it's a manufacturer cap on the card.
Raise it a bit more 💪💪
Yes it's MSI that blocked out being able to tune the Power Limits, I just replaced my 6600xt Mech that I put in my kids PC with an XFX Swift 210 6600xt and to my surprise that option is now enabled. Don't know why MSI did this when the cooler is more than capable of handling more power...
@@sublime2craig Turns out my MSI 6600 XT had more issues than graying out the power limit option, I would get random wattman resets. I ended up returning the 6600 XT and got a Red Devil 6700 XT instead. Everything's smooth and stable now.
@@sublime2craig No one really knows but its what they did, which is also why most of the reviews of the mech 2x are negative

hey great vid! but i have a question about the GPU, at what temp on it should i be worried?
75C is perfectly fine
@@AncientGameplays ok
Great vid :)
I know it's been a while but do you have any recommendations regarding this gpu & fan curve or other radeon options?
No matter what overclock or underbolt i do it ALWAYS runs at 1150 i even put it down to 1080 but its always running 1150 no matter what. So during any overclock my gpu hot-spot goes to 99oC then it throttles and if i get overlock to work at 90oC it ONLY gives me extra 3-6fps in games compared to "default" but rans run at 100% loud to try keep it cool
Edit: forgot to say yet my idle temps are 42oC but even on default settings temps shoot to 93oC with 70% fan or 92% with 100% fan. Its odd as before i used a benchmark (superpostion) and got score of 7918 with 2900mhz speed but i reinstalled windows 11 on a new ssd. Now i cant get score higher then 6200 or control the voltage and temps at all
Make guide overclock CPU Ryzen 5000x mention the important options and tips
Great vid radeon software changed a little now any chance of a redo haha
