Fabio, Great vid Man! Can I apply the same principal on the XT model? Thanks
DO THE PERFORMANCE PER WATT FOR 7900XT XFX PLEASE
Have you seen one of the last videos from Jay? He was showing some weird behavior on RDNA3 and 2 cards when overclocking. Simplyfied that if increasing minimum clocks too close to maximum will cause the card somehow throtling and actually losing performance even though clocks and everything is correct, rather than just leaving it at 500 where boosts are the same and performance is actually higher. Noticed the same behavior even on my 6900xt
@@def6420 spoiler, 7900xtx loses heavily against 4080 and even the 4090, lol, there are videos out already comparing that, just do a quick search
@@thepirate4095 no - and 4080 costs 50% more too
Nashville, TN here. Please do not ever feel like you have to apologize for your English. Most of us here in the US only speak one language. Love your content and appreciate you, especially as a 7700x and 7900XT owner :)
Thank you very much
Yep, Florida man here. Your English is pretty dang good, lol. Actually running 3DMark as I write this trying to fine tune my new 7900 xtx. So far, got about a 5 percent extra. 3100 GPU clock, 2650 mem clock, fast timing, 1070mV, max power. Trying to get a bit more if I can.
Fellow nashvillian here. Formerly Californian. Definitely agree.
@@matthewcooksey5411 Former Californian (Hermosa Beach) and now in parts unknown - lol
I've worked with some Portuguese guys way back compared to them your English is way better.
Fabio thanks again for taking the time to do the research and testing for everyone's benefit. You make my system go Super Sayin each time. Such a champ. Hope you and your family have a great new years.
I wish the same to you! Happy new year and thanks for watching!
Thank you as always for such a detailed, step by step vid with your reasonings and findings.
After messing around for days with various settings, I ended up back with the starting settings you recommended. Keep up the great work!
As always, best AMD overclocking video on youtube! Thanks for figuring it out and sharing with us.
Woah, great tutorial.
Undervolt and overclock tutorials for the 7900XTX on CZcams is usually unclear about how RDNA3 works and I often get unstable crashes here and there with exceptionally high power consumption and loud fan noises, while the performance never seems to change much, since the references I saw simply do not understand the structure.
But with your tutorial, not only have I solved the wattage and fan problem (it's at least 100w lower and the fans were a lot quieter), I also got a decent performance boost and stable game play through out my own stress test.
Thanks a bunch!
Great to hear! Cheers!
You’re the man. I keep coming back to this video and didn’t even realize you’ve been updating the download link to include up to date tuning profiles with each new Adrenalin release. Awesome stuff man
thank you very much for doing the research and testing and showing us your recommended settings. I do not know anything about overclocking/undervolting but your video keeps it simple and i appreciate it - THANK YOU!
Brilliant stuff Fabio, really really helpful. Can;t wait to have play with this later. I have the 7900Xt so I will try an factor in the different numbers from the 7900XTX. Wish me luck!!
Have fun!
Thank you for this, currently using your power saving settings, still getting the same fps with the same setting however much lower watts and temp . Bravo
Pretty good explanation, thanks for this video man, keep it up!
Hey, thanks for the very good tutorial!
I will 100% follow this when I get my 7900XTX.
I was impressed with the manual OC gains you were able to get with your 7700X 2 months ago and was wondering if you could make a tutorial for overclocking Ryzen 7000 as well or maybe link to a good one. I'm completely new to overlocking but want to get the most out of my hardware while also getting lower power draw and thermals. Any help would be greatly appreciated! (the CPU I got is a 7900X btw)
Thank you so much I have the 7900XT Asrock Phantom OC and this video helped me so much with tuning it. Just built a gaming PC!
Great info. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks Fabio AMDJesus, you're doing great at teaching out the knowledge that has to be gained through experience in drivers and AMD adrenaline 😁
I do what I can :D
I remember the first time that I come to your channel to check and compare the undervoltage with my Vega 56, now I come back with me RX 7900 XT. Thank you for your content.
Thank you for watching
Thanks for this guide - I just got my 7900 XTX and didn't know about the spikes in power draw. Was a bit worried as my psu is only 750 watts so I went for the 2400 MHz underclock and it peaks at around 100W less but performs pretty much the same as stock. Paired with my R9 7900 with SAM enabled and baldurs gate 3 runs buttery smooth now at 4k (100+ fps on my LG C2). Saved the vid in case I want to go for the higher clock speeds in the future :)
This was extremely useful! Thanks for this!
This help me a lot understanding how these settings work as I am new to amd gpus…appreciate the hard work!
XFX 7900XTX is my first AMD card and I'm new to this things. Mine is stable at 2400mhz/2900mhz, 1100mV, temps 60C and 75C junction, 50% Fan curve. I learned a lot from this tutorial. Many thanks! looking forward for your new Videos.
Man, I’m so glad I found your channel. So refreshing to find someone trustworthy and transparent about EVERYTHING you do. Helped me out so much on my first ever PC with the 5800x3d/7900xtx. Keep up the great content we’re all here for it! cheers from hawaii brotha 🍻 🤙🏽
Exactly my build too!
Fr yesterday I build the same pc, such a beast😼
VERY HELPFUL!!! THANKS SO MUCH 😎😎👍🏽👍🏽
This seriously helped me a lot 🙏🏽
I found this video a week into owning a Power Color Red Devil 7900xtx because I was looking for ways to reduce my insane temps. I'm leaving this comment just to engage with the video and say thank you for this comprehensive breakdown for people like me who are new to team red and want the most out of our cards without having our PC be as hot as a furnace!
Thank you as well, glad to help
Not sure if i'm late but Red Devil cards had a batch with incorrect thermal paste placement on the GPU core which results in bad temps. ( the paste doesn't cover the whole gpu plating) Could be the issue with yours too. I would just remove the cooler and re-paste the GPU. I got mine about 2 weeks ago and i don't have thermal issue so mine is out of the bad batch.
@tamaskerecsenyi3300 I had a launch 7900xtx red devil Ltd edition. Sent back last month due to 30 plus delta in games. Retailer sent it to Powercolor and they refunded it within 2 days, not sure if they even attempted to fix as if its a simple paste job surely it wouldn't take much work, or maybe timescales of going back to Taiwan and back would exceed 30 days so retailer protected customer turnaround times. Got a merc xfx instead and was £300 less than what I paid at launch for red devil.
@@chrisgatecliffe with the discount i got for it made the Red Devil actually the cheapest XTX out of all in my country, thankfully don't have a single issue with it
@@kerotomas1 yeah the UK got hit heavy with pricing at launch due to high inflation along with the strength of the £ compared to the $&€. Red devil was the most expensive at the time along with the Sapphire but a lot of them now are under the £1000 mark. As much of a pain as it was to be without a card for 2 weeks, the saving made up for it.
Very very informative video. I myself never messed with the min. freq. slider but I'll definetly give it a fair try.
💪💪
Thank you for the video, very helpful!
Thanks for the information!
This Channel to this moment ,is a pure treasure chest for AMD owners and thoose who want to become one ... i got my xfx merc 310 rx 7900 xtx today and will start with fine tuning ..of course only because grand master Fabio shared his wisdom with us!
And i hope he will do so fresh,healthy and happy in the new year 2023!
Side mention:
I finalised my AMD build now , ryzen 7950x and the 7900xtx and tried some of my Games ...right now i have to dissapoint the AMD haters i had no issue of ANY sort , system,games,browsing, everything smooth as silk...no heat spikes ,no power shenanigans.. no nothing just flawless performance !
💪💪💪
Hope eveything goes well for you and yours as well
You planning on water-cooling it? I made a guide on how to convert the EKWB reference Waterblock as there is no specific XFX waterblock out there yet.
Interesting and I didn't expect this video to be this long and that packed with information. From your 2 examples I think I would go with performance per watt settings or power saving. Depends on how many fps I would get on my preferred games 120-144 would be enough, maybe even lock fps on those values. Thanks for the video, I will probably go back to it after I would buy new PC.
Thanks for the watching and for the words. Always makes my day 💪
DO THE PERFORMANCE PER WATT FOR 7900XT XFX PLEASE
Picked up the xt last week then Asrock cut pricing on the xt and the xtx, which put the xtx in my budget. Thanks for the video for these awesome cards. Mine had a max frequency of 3000 out of the box. I pushed it to 3200. So far so good.
Thanks...cant wait to try them out.
Great video as always Fabio.
Thanks again!
Thanks! New to tuning the gpu. Stabilized my system, no more crashes, and got a significant temp drop.
My friend a big thank you for the awesome donation! If undervolting helped, I do believe you might need a better psu :D
@@AncientGameplays how ppwerful psu you recomend? I have 750w
@@Bruce_Lee minimum 850w psu bruh
Thank you for the great video, just picked up a aorus 7900xtx and it’s working well with your recommendations.
Thank you for the tutorial!
This guide is so outstandingly useful to me, thank you so much!
Glad it helped!
bruh, my consumption is now 270W on 1130mv. this is a win.
@@brendameistar it's insane how much this tutorial helped me. Incredible performance at acceptable energy draw. Comparable to 4080 energy efficiency, I think! Insane! 🤯
@@sirbughunter man, I should have went for the 4080 tbh. Power efficiency matters the most to me. Next upgrade im gonna definitely wait it out
The 1% lows are amazing on the max overclock. I'm sure AMD can improve the cards with future updates 😀
That's a given. With time, these cards will get MUCH better in some games, even more due to Smart Access Memory being optimized
That's the only reason I see to oc since avg FPS does not seem as much improvement with only 5-10 fps. The Power Save settings seem like a pretty good balance
following your guide and some quick tuning, got about a 600 boost in port royal score on my saphire 7900 xtx reference card, pretty nice. I will spend more time finding my limits soon, Thanks for this very clear video.
Thank you as well
Yay!!... Almost 100K!...well done!... Now carry on.👏
5 subs to go haha. Abraço!
You are the only CZcamsr who manages to make him watch an entire video great job
Thanks!
Great work! Looking forward for 7900xt benchmarks/undervolt/oc
Already here, lay an eye on the video section 💪💪
Thanks..it helped me to avoid crashes playing cod mw3 on 4k play. Awesome!!
That power save profile made my xtx a very cool gpu but with such nice performance. Not even jealous of AIBs, I'll just have fun finding the lowest mV that runs stable here. Thanks so much!
Glad to help :D
Interesting on the min voltage, I have been running 1055mv and haven't encountered a crash yet at stock power settings. Getting a solid 8-12% performance gain at stock power there.
Maybe I just got lucky, or maybe pushing power higher requires much higher core voltage to maintain?
Excellent job ! No nonsense and bang on point ! 👍👍
💪💪
Damn i've watched many guides about this, many good youtubers. But this is at another level literally. The way you talk and explain is extremely professional and beats any guide I've seen so far. Bro, thank you.
Thank you for your words 💪💪
And once again you nailed it, once again you proved us that you're simply the best. Happy holidays and keep up the good work. ❤️
Thank you! Happy holidays
Got a 7900XTX Red Devil coming and this video was top notch, well done.
Did you undervolt it? How much power did the card then draw and did it decrease performance by much. Just wondering because im thinking about buying the red devil 7900xtx (because of the good performance), but energy is pretty expensive where i live.
@Spyby Yeah I did have a play and got some good results, with the card power limit increased and the lowest undervolt / highest Mhz the card would pull north of 400watts.
Problem is my card was problematic since new, it would get grey screen crashes with blue lines pretty regularly then it got to the point where it would do it non stop under any type of load. Had to send it back as my older Nitro 6900xt works fine.
@@joely6699 which psu did you use because i want to get the red devil and a sfx sf750 from corsair but im not entirelly sure if 750W is enough ( Egors lab for example says 750W will be enough for partner models, 650W for reference designs)
@Spyby Nah man 750 won't cut it especially if you want to play with dome over clocks. Powercolors site recommends minimum 900w. I had an Asus Thor 850w and bought the same model but in the 1000w to be safe. Having said that the Thor power supply has the digital read out of the watts the PSU is pulling and it never was above 650w at full OC and undervolt.
@@spyby5176 I guess it depends on the rest of your system, I have a pretty beefy Asus ROG set up with a fair bit of RGB and run and 5900xt with PBO2 clock / undervolt on all cores. I've never seen my power draw on the PSU display go north of 650w no matter what I'm doing.
Late to get the 7900 XTX, and at first I was upset because of the heat and power draw. However, your explanation and counter-intuitive settings helped me finally unlock the card's potential. I drew 100 watts less power for the same or better performance. Thanks for the great video!
What did you settle on for your power savings? I'm doing mine today
@@steweymacaroon7815 I have the reference model and I can offset voltage to 1130.
@@pogokerowhat setting really impacts power draw in the adrenaline software
@@Saymriy I've had the card for almost 6 months now, and I found it best to limit clock speeds to 2900, overclock memory to 2564, voltage at 1130, and leave everything else alone. It's stable and doesn't go above 100 C, at least now in the fall with cooler ambient temperatures.
I reduced voltage on 7900xt model from
1100mv to 980mv. All stable
I had been experiencing lots of micro-stuttering with my Hellhound 7900xtx and this helped so much! Now I’m getting a stable 155-160 FPS on Warzone II in 4K high settings
Nice work as always. 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you! Cheers!
I built my first PC recently and went all AMD. I got the 7900x / 7900 XT and your channel has been the most helpful thing I've found so far!
How is it running now? I am planning to build same like yours.
@MuhammadTanveer-gw3pt i actually upgraded to a 4090 cuz I'm wildly irresponsible with my money lol. The 7900x / 7900XT ran amazingly, though and I miss the adrenaline software.
I play at Native 4k or upscaled and it handled them all really well at max settings with maybe only having to lower a few settings on some games.
I got the XFX Speedster Merc310 Black Edition 7900XT cuz it was such a good deal at the time. I did have an issue with high hotspot temps but after a repaste with some PTM7950 it was all good. Afterwards, the hotspot temps never got above 78° at 55% max fan speed.
The 7900x will also handle anything you need and mine is stable with a -30 voltage offset. I ran a 360mm AIO on mine and it never got out of the 70°s even when max boosting at 5.7 for hours.
Long comment but I hope it got you even more excited about your upcoming build
@@sleazydzx If it was all that good why did you change to 4090? 🤔
@MuhammadTanveer-gw3pt cuz I'm an idiot lol. Nah but I have the extra income and wanted just that extra power to have to make no graphics settings sacrifice at all.
@@sleazydzx That makes sense. 😅
Thanks for replying.👍
Congrats for another helpfull video :)
There has been some reports on very high junction temps for the reference models of the 7900 xtx, some even reaching 110Celcius.
I was wondering... did you noticed a big decrease in GPU hotspot temps when undervolting, or does it stay pretty much the same delta between Stock, Max OC and undervolted?
My temps are good at all settings but the UV does bring hotspot temps down
Those are quality control problems. Most probably the fault is in the cooler mount system which isn't providing optimal pressure.
If your gpu reaches 110°C hotspot at stock settings and throttles down because of that you should get a replacement because you won't be able to fix that without limiting the GPU performance.
@@damara2268 yup, i also gathered that fact. I read somewhere that if the card is mounted vertically it won't reach such high hotspot temps, it clearly spells poor cooler mount. in those cases might be resolved with tensioning the screws a bit more.
But haven't found any reports stating that it would fix it.
It seems AMD isn't accepting RMA for those cards, stating that the temps are within spec.
I don't have a 7900xtx reference board card, i'm planning on aquiring the Sapphire Nitro + Vapor-X 7900xtx.
But i was curious has to know how many degrees it lowers the hotspot temp with undervolting.
Just the video i was looking for going to set my memory timings to default after reviewing.
awesome videos and tips. Thanks so much for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks yet again for such a comprehensive and informative video Fabio! These comparisons and guidelines will help tremendously with my fine tuning 😄
Just wanted to add something: You mentioned that the CPU related prompts only appear with a 7000 chip, but I also get them with my R7 5800x. Maybe they added it with an Adrenalin update? Just wanted to let you know! Thanks again☺️
That is correct. It is the same with my 5800X and 7900XTX
Thanks, that's interesting as the 7000 series do not appear with the 6000 series GPUs xD
Great work explaining how rdna3 works!
i got a used reference 7900xtx with the 110c hotspot problem, for a very cheap price.
undervolting helped bring the hotspot temp down to 70-80c @320Watts and it performs the same as stock. If undervolting would not have worked, my cheapest solution would be a Alphacool GPU AIO 🙈
Cool to hear 💪💪💪
No way! Can u write me your settings?)

thanks for this great turtorial. it works very well on my red devil xtx. i´ve tried your max oc settings and i´ve got a huge fps improvment. 😲👍
Nice!
Excited to do this tonight
Thank you for this. Certainly great to get some benchmarks to see how saving power affects performance, will certainly be using these.
I think I understand the voltage more now, as a percentage that you lower rather than an exact figure (is that possibly why it defaults to %), was confused why voltage never reached what I'd set it to (even though it would still crash).
Personally with power limit at +15 and max at 2900 my junction temp was hitting over 100c but looking at your video it doesn't get anywhere near that. From my testing, one minute it's fine at around 80-90c but suddenly hits 105c when nothing changed - still wondering if my card is faulty.
Thanks for all your hard work, it's much appreciated, great video!!
Thanks for watching
I would guess he doesnt have a reference card.
My card is the same. It's a problem with the cards. We're basically the same as the people hitting 110 junction temps but ours are the ones that barely passed QC. Either need to lap the heatsink or try different paste like PTM7950 or a graphite pad.
@@allenrachal He does, you can see his unboxing
Try getting a quality display cable. According to the amd subreddit, cheap display cables cause high junction temps.
I just couldn't help myself and eventually got the 7900 XTX. While I still need a CPU upgrade for my 3900x (will get around to it next), the card still gives me a nice overall FPS stability boost.
And I have to say, I loved this guide Fabio. You are the best as always. I used your undervolt settings and they work like a charm.
So far, I don't seem to have any hotspot issues with the reference design either. The only problem is high idle power draw and I am confident that it can easily be fixed with a driver update.
Hey, have you downloaded the 22.12.2 drivers? They do help on that matter
@@AncientGameplays Yes, I am on 22.12.2 right now. Although I turned off hardware acceleration in all browsers, I still get 30-40W with occasional brief spikes to 45-50W. It is still too much. Idle consumption should ideally be somewhere around 20W maximum. That's the one thing I am missing from my 6800xt

I just got this GPU about a week ago and have been looking into squeezing every little bit of performance out of it (and my CPU too) and have tried following a couple GPU tuning videos before this, but this is the only one that hasn't crashed my system. Thank you for going over everything and what it actually does, that helps me understand what's actually going on. I ended up just copying your settings and naming the profile "Ancient Gameplays Tune", but I still appreciated knowing what it was that was being changed. Love your accent btw 👍
Very informative video, good job
Thank you
700mV at a max 2250 core is an ultra low power mode I discovered. Worst case scenario 88% of stock performance, mostly over 95% of stock, at 215-275W tbp depending on game or test. Great for silent operation on the reference card
That's nice indeed!
I see uve mentioned the drivers changing what the lower end should be 500mhz now. I think it would be cool of u to make an updated tutorial since Starfield is coming out and a lot of people are getting new 7900s for that. But I'm being selfish 😅
Also, have u done any videos on UVing CPUs?
Thank you so much. New to this stuff.
Glad to help
The best vidéo of my week ❤
Video is super informative and I definitely appreciate your contribution. The only problem is that I feel you have a golden sample. I have not seen anyone else with a gpu/junction delta of 5c yet. This is not a dig against you at all…it’s just the majority of the cards I have seen are showing much larger deltas, limiting their thermal headroom. I have mentioned this to you before and you claimed sapphire was a better manufacturer. According to other sources (powercolorsteve), all reference cards come from AMD. I’m just hoping someone comes out with an actual fix for these cards. Whether it be mounting pressure, better thermal paste or getting rid of the convex cold plate of the vapor chamber.
I noticed that too. Even at idle with the fans spinning my delta is 10c. he probably has a partner card.
That delta is on idle haha, the usual difference is around 10-20C depending on the amount of load and tweak. Still, 20C is pretty normal
I have the reference sapphire
@@AncientGameplays I have a powercolor reference model and I can't do +15 on power limit without it getting too hot , 110c+ junction temps. I have to under volt and keep power limit at 0. SO I'm stuck at the performance I can get within the power budget of 350watts for now.

I'm planing to buy this GPU, not yet got the money tho, but 4-5 months later i could use any information i can get. I would like to use my setup for 1440p/144hz gaming, but i'm not sure about the CPU, RAM, neither about the PSU.
For the MB i was thinking about an Asus ROG Strix 570-F gaming.
Monitor definitely will be a Dell S2722DGM.
@@MrZelegor asus x570 tuf plus gaming motherboard a Ryzen 9 5950x and of course a red devil rx 6950 xt and a m.2 ssd gen 4 drive with a 1000 watt power supply gold rated which its very important to have a gold rated power supply and its fully modular and I have the Cougar panzer max g case
@@adammartin4906 Thank you!
Thank you for this video. Im about to assemble my 7900 xtx 7800x3d montec king 95 pro build tomorrow amazon had me waiting on my psu 😂 these videos are teaching me a lot. Great english by the way!
Glad I moved over to amd and brought the tuf 7900 xtx and thanks to you this card is now flying high
Thanks Fabio! i tried your 2400/2500mhz with 2700mem on 1130mv PL15 and its working perfectly. using cyberpunk as stability test and idling for like good 30 minutes now with no crash.
so basically, 2600/2700 is stable at 1120v but 2400/2500 isnt stable at 1120mv, instead it requires 1130mv
hope you can provide some insight on this.
I do explain why that happens. Watch the gpu core part
@@AncientGameplays will watch again!
So to me: 1. just choose the GPU Overclock and that’s will be fine.
2. Don’t mess with the VRam if you put it to high it crash immediately.
3. At the GPU Tuning part just adjust around 1050 or 1060 (at Voltage), 3050 or 3045 (at Max Frequency), default the Min and the Power Limit just go 15 or 10 then everything will be good.
And that’s my OC what do you think
I think the core is fine, but for most games like CS:GO, having a minimum frequency set is important.
VRAM tuning is important as well as it delivers a nice performance boost
@@AncientGameplays oh ok, I heard some ppl if u put vram above the middle bar it’s will crash so it’s scare me
But thanks for the tips tho, I just learn how to use AMD Adrenaline Software a few days ago (I switch from Nvida to Radeon). It’s look way more different from Nvidia but It’s got everything in one software
@PLKay what I've noticed with vram is that it loses performance before crashing. For example my vram can be set as high as 2750 and not crash at all but it has less performance than at 2650, in my case it starts getting worse after 2720mhz.
@@GTRPT thanks for the info tho
@@GTRPT sheesh. On my 7800XT difference between VRAM bandwidth loss and random erroring and system crash-reboot is about 10-15 mHz. Basically almost no buffer zone, and games hit VRAM stability harder than specialized tool to test VRAM.
Also i cannot get 2700 mHz. Neither did TechPowerUp with multiple samples.
With FT i can seemingly be stable on 2600 set. But without FT i got reboot on 2670. Meaning for me FT is more beneficial than frequency gain.
P.S., Oh, i see, they use really tight but different binning for 7700XT, 7800 XT and 7900XTX...
7700 XT = 2250 (then i am surprised they managed to get 2500-2550 OC on it)
7800XT = 2438
7900 XTX = 2500
Great tutorial as always from Fabio
Thank for making of this video. Now it little bit more clear how to undervolt my 6800xt and who knows maybe 7900xtx in the future 🙂
Fabio safed my ass with this one. I have the sapphire nitro+ which draws 420W unboxed. But my 850W PSU only has 2 8pin+6+2 pin cables and not 3 separate 8pin cables. I still tried it and my pc shut down loading Cyberpunk. Using the powersaving settings at 1120mV and 2300-2400MHz clock its at 270-300W draw and I can use the GPU normally. At least until I get a new PSU. Many thanks!
Glad I could help!
What were your fps and temps for both GPU and GPU hotspot? Thanks
hi I have high end PC with 7900 xtx, however everytime I boot my PC a driver issue from adrenaline software appear with windows crash and freeze and require hard re-boot. Error: driver timeout or sometimes crash defender detected display issue driver. I'm on 23.1.1 driver version and I don't know what to do :(
Simple reinstall windows and do a clean installation of everything. Your windows install must be broken
Same here and my solution was install only driver , no the software dont wasted ur time reinstalling windows , dont work at least for me
Hi again, work todo installing the minimal settings , full install Crash allí time
Thank you for this video! I will most likely buy a 7900 XTX for my birthday this month and I was looking for a good OC/UV guide for the GPU. You explained everything very well, so thank you again!
Thank you for watching
@@AncientGameplays greetings, can anyone help me, I have this model sapphire nitro+ radeon rx 7900 xtx vapor-x 24gb, how can I reduce the power consumption of this model while maintaining good performance to some extent i wante power saving
Thank you, Fabio. Always helpful. I use power save profile. I like lowe temps. :)
Glad I helped!
I hope you take a break. You've made alot of great content recently in a short space of time.
Hey my man, thanks for the concern. I love what I do though haha. No issues here
I'm super impressed. My XFX Merc XTX hit 84fps in CP2077 @ 4k native ultra, and 119fps in RDR2 Ultra/TAA High/FSR off. AC Those are right up there with the 4090. Not too shabby.
And it will get better, people just decided to hate these cards as they did initially with RDNA2...always the same crap
Crazy how the power saving settings had the best 1% lows. Cant wait for my 7900xtx to arrive. 1080ti, you served me well o7
Thank you for the detailed explanations and comparisons. I recently switched to AMD and came across your videos (and channel in general).
Thank you for being here and for donating 💪
The minimum undervolt is interesting. I have the XFX Merc XT and I am able to set depending on the program down to 950 to 970 mvs. I have been mostly using 3D Mark benches. Also, I have the memory set between 2800 and 2830 MHz. I have a performance increase of about 17 to 18 percent. This might explain some of the price compression between the XTX and the XT. Thank you for doing this. I have also found that the 7700x is works better with the XT than the 7950x. It is easier to tune. More stable. Slightly better performance.
Interesting. The normal XT cards have more OC potential indeed. Nice vram OC, I cant go that high sadly
7700X is always better for gaming
Peak cpu is 8core these days
Im sure the regular 7700 will be the deal for nxtyear
I might swap my b660+12100f for b650m+7700 if it's $500 combo
are you sure its stable in games? I never lowered below 1030 but it passed 3dmark but crashed games, like all of them except overwatch.
Currently i have it at 1105 and its stable in every game
@@mattv3237 Same with my Merc XTX. I can get down to 1040 in benchmarks but I need 1105 or so to get stability across all games. Most games are stable at like 1085, but a few random ones like FFXV needed me to push it higher.
Similar for me. 3D mark stress test in Speedway via 2x20 runs at 2500 max and 2400 min with 1070mv, +15 PL, and 2700vram. 100% usage it never goes above 86°C TJ, and fans at 1900rpm max keeping it there. All stable.
Go into Control, and then to the place I know that pushes 100% load as well(underneath Research where all the fungus crap is) and it crashes within about 30 seconds. That is until I push the vcore up to 1120mv and it is then stable again (testing in +5mv increments each time).
I noticed that when I lowered my Max Frequency that I could also significantly lower my Voltage. At 3000 MHz my 7900 xtx was stable at about 1070mV, however, I was able to lower Voltage all the way down to 700mV when my Max Frequency was set to 2350MHz. It has been stable in all the games and benchmarks I have tried so far! Could you look into testing out lowering Voltages after lowering the Max Frequency please?
Edit: scratch that. Not completely stable, need to do more experimentation
Have you found the stable voltage?
@@ALph4cro I didn’t experiment much more but you could have voltage at 700mV with low-mid 2000s clocks in everything it just varied app by app
thank you it helped a lot i also undervolted my 7800 x3d
Thanks for the video...I'm not gonna get one of these 'cause 1st the price and high power draw, but I especially appreciate the performance/watt tuning mode you put in the center space as far as my preferences go.
Well, price is definitely high, but power draw is quite "normal" for a top tier GPU.
@@AncientGameplays Yessir it is...I'm just saying that I'm gonna wait probably 5 years or so to get something of this performance because I like things to be efficient cost and power wise.
For example my son has a 6600 xt and I have a 3060 ti and those give great performance for the cost and the power draw. Honestly the 6600 xt is the better of the two, I believe.
People do not overclock 7900XTX till the "110C hot spot" issue is not solved. You don't want to burn your cards because an AMD fanboy tells you that is no problem ignoring a real problem that even AMD and their boards partners is now investigating and trying to fix the problem. This guy is pure evil if he is ignoring this problem and tell you is safe to OC even if AMD knows about this issue.
You're kind of "slow" aren't you? Even more since these settings will never in the history of ever break your GPU, the max it could happen is thermal throttling lol.
Also, with my power saving settings (as confirmed in the video and by users in the comment section) you'll have decrease temps on core and hotspot with the same or better perf.
Sincerely, get a life and stop calling other people fanboys without even knowing them
@@AncientGameplays And guess what, I just said this today and Tech Yes City just proved that 7900XTX undervolting don't do anything, just like I said he use a hardware voltage measuring device to prove it, and even worse the 7900XTX has an idle power problem where is idling at 50 - 80W when you use a high refresh rate monitor. Dude I'm always right about my knowledge about this AMD cards being problematic and AMD lying about many things that tech people always find out about it.
@@dennythescar80s8 You're not always right, not even 1%. In fact, you don't even have the card.. 50-80W is only for some very specific scenarios or dual monitors and was mostly fixed on the 22.12.2 driver, I use 3440x1440 160Hz and I have it idling at 16W, lol.
Undervolting does DO effect things, and that's why you have lower power draw once you reduce the voltage. But different frequencies have different base voltages, and when boosting close to the max, the "base" voltage will be the max one in most cases, so the undervolting won't be felt. In ANY other frequency slightly below that (depends on the game) the undervolting can be easily seen by the reduced power draw.
"Dude I'm always right about my knowledge about this AMD cards", as Bruce Lee once said, "showing off is a fool's idea of glory"
@@AncientGameplays Well you are 100% wrong, all i said is proved. Your card has a huge problem as well like other thousands cards out there. AMD has a HUGE problem, they designed the cooler wrong the vapor chamber is the problem so is a hardware problem that can't be fix from software, more like a mechanical problem that is for ALL reference coolers design. So, AMD needs to call ALL cards back to replace the coolers if you want the 110C hot spot problem to disappear and the cards to work well without throttling. Proved by der8aurs.
Again, i am 100% right watch Tech Yes City and see how he only use a single high refresh rate monitor to make the AMD 7900XTX hit over 50W in idle. That is bad. What you are talking about is an old problem, ages ago. What i am saying is a new problem specific with 7900 cards.
Again, watch Tech Yes City how he clearly said the software don't do anything, undervolting and overclocking 7900 cards is very WIERD do to badly design cards they are.
If Nvidia had just a few melting cards with the new connector. Well AMD has ALL reference cards with problems, that means thousands.
I did hope for AMD to do these cards well but once again my fear about AMD being bad at making GPUs was proved again.
Sorry pale but you can't deny these problems again like you always do. This is too big to be ignored and to say AMD did a good job.
So i am always right i never lie. I am the devil 👹
Great info.
Very nice video !
Thank you :D
You helped me get that much more out of my 7900 XTX😁
Thanks for this. All I want is to do is save power and money while getting around the same stock performance. The 7900xtx is fast enough already. I will try your power saving settings. I also like limiting my FPS too to save more power. Thanks 👍
Great video bro, cheers.
Thanks!
@@AncientGameplays Actually, thanks to your guide I'm pulling like 100W less now with same performance more or less, thank you once again :)
Really helpful video, thank you!!
Thank you as well
Is there an updated version for the 24.1.1 new drivers?
@@davidbanner3291 I followed this guide today for the new drivers and it works great.
@@davidbanner3291 will come today!
Cool ty very much
Just got my Sapphire Nitro xtx yesterday. First stop i came was here, thanks for the great info!
Thank you too!
This guy knows his stuff verry detailed video :)
very good thanks
That power saver profile is crazy good! 😮😀
Just tested it in Remnant II and I can't believe how much of an difference this makes. With the Perf/Watt settings the card takes 100W less power and runs so much cooler because of this.
Thank you for the detailed video.
You're welcome
