XFX Radeon RX 6700 10 GB (SWFT 309)
I got her older sister, RX 6700 XT 12 GB (SWFT 309) and due to excessive mining and most probably unfortunate binning, it's not that great at UV but I managed to squeeze 2720 Max MHz @ 1150 mV for non-RT and 2720 Max MHz @ 1180 mV for RT scenarios. Power consumption is ~5 W less than original (2644 Max MHz). I have excessive cooling and I don't really mind squeezing more off this GPU but I'm hard stuck at 2720 MHz, it just can't do better than that.
Non-XT GPUs are expected to be hard limited by wattage limit in BIOS so I don't expect you to get anything more than 2700 MHz (~2650 effective MHz). XFX RDNA2 GPUs have overkill cooling solutions so I don't think you really need UV here but you do you.
Backup your important data, reinstall your OS, install 3DMark + Superposition and get Adrenalin running and start with setting voltage to 1100 mV in Adrenalin. If it doesn't work then add increments of 5 mV every time after crashing in benchmarks. Once you got to the point it doesn't crash anymore you just add another 5 mV on top of that to be completely sure and that's it.
Lowering your frequency is only necessary if you're running into stability problems with stock voltage. Getting it a couple dozen MHz higher won't hurt whatsoever.
And yeah, you're limited by narrow 160-bit bus so overclock your VRAM to the max. Don't worry, the 2150 MHz number is absolutely safe for GDDR6 installed on these GPUs and they can do MUCH faster than that. It's just AMD not letting us OC their GPUs properly (I'm inclined to think it's because properly OCed GPU will be on par with a higher tier model so people would just buy lower tier GPUs and OC the snot out of them just like in good ol' days when you could double the CPU and GPU performance by pressing a couple buttons).
Ignore the junction temperature, and your hotspot temperature should always be a double-digit number. Anything beyond 99C is unsafe.
and i kept it updated to the latest version without any rollback.
