The RX 6000 series Owners' Club

[Felix123BU]

After playing around with wattman and games for a few hours I was able to push the gpu a bit more while still having junction temp under 80C, this actually looks like a pretty good silicon. BUT I noticed that despite me taking the voltage down to 1125 it still goes to 1200 for some reason, if anyone know why this is the case please let me know

From what I noticed on mine, and some other 6000 series, the voltage you put in is more of a guidance, the GPU seems to use whatever voltage it deems needed to keep running stable, while at least trying to keep it close to what you put in. On mine, the higher the clocks, the more it will go over what voltage I set.

Nice, I have the same setup with a 10850k and a 6700xt, might try to break that record lol I have my i9 clocked at 4.9 and gpu at 2910, and is your setup overclocked? If so by how much, thanks.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

CPU at 5GHz all cores and GPU OC'ed in Afterburner to 2.9GHz but only goes to like 2.7

 

[Garlic]

My gpu goes to about 2.83 in sustained loads

 

[BarbaricSoul]

just did a little work with Afterburner, mine is doing 2.8 also.

might try to break that record

Just to make it interesting CPU at 5.2 GHz and GPU at 2.8 GHz, new high score, 12729

I scored 12 729 in Time Spy

stable in benchmarks is not same thing as stable in games. run WoW, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Witcher 3, or any demanding game AAA title on max settings for around 2 hours with no crashes. if you can do that then you are stable. I can run benchmarks like time spy all day stable with extreme oc's. but not in-game

 

[BarbaricSoul]

I played about 4 hours of COD last night, no crashes, granted, that was with the GPU at 2.7 GHz, not 2.8, but I'd bet I'd get the same results at 2.8.

60-70% chance your ok then, you still need to play some more AAA titles, one isn't enough for determining it. just my two cents anyway. you probably are ok though yeah.

Did they release something in the last driver? My card used to be nice and cool at 65 C on the junction at 2.4 GHZ but it now seems to want to boost as high as it can (I saw 2.8 in HWinfo64). I was so pissed I took the card apart to see if there were any issues. That resulted in a 3 degree drop in idle temps but it has me so upset that I actually ordered a water block yesterday for the card.

I have always used a custom aggressive fan curve, so my temps are always low, so I can't answer that question. I'm honestly jelly of both of you, the 6800 non-xt maxes out at 2600 - and mine only does 2550 stable - 99% of time regardless of temp it downclocks to 2.4 though. i don't mess with wattman though... so maybe I could get more out of it? do you use wattman?

What driver is that that pushes it to its max? I waaaant it!

Yes I do use Wattman and I have to reset my profile regularly. There was no issue until the latest driver was installed. I am really interested to see what happens when I install the water block.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

I’m running the newest driver with my Sapphire Nitro. I’m also running a fan curve of 1% per every 1 degree of temperature. Running Time Spy, clocking 2.78-2.83, my fans run at 51% maintaining a temp of 51’

Damn these 6700XT cards can really clock high.

 

[Felix123BU]

Yeah, imagine the 6800XT and 6900XT clocking that high

 

[kapone32]

It has to be the latest Adrenlin update.

 

[Felix123BU]

Might try it, though I run the latest WHQL which brought nice performance improvements across the board, so not sure if I want to jinx it, but curiosity always kills the cat

Maybe one of these 6900XT Liquid Devil Ultimate could fulfil your wish:

Could be, if AMD in their great wisdom do not decide to cock-block them, pardon me, clock-block them at 2.8

This one has limit set at 4000MHz and voltage can go to 1.2V.
It is one of these new binned chips were AMD allowed to increased GPU clock limit and also memory clock limit.
Bios power limit by default at 332W.
So I think with 15% additional from Radeon Software it has power limit of 382W.
The price at Mindfactory is scary at 2349€.
I assume one pays premium for unclocked card.
But there is no promise that you can reach 3GHz as above video shows.

JayzTwoCebts does not look like a profi overclocker like us though.
He is funny guy.

I mean it all depend on luck, if your really unlucky you might get a chip that can't oc at all( which is very unlikely to happen)

While playing games last night, I noticed that my pc can play anything stable as long as its not made by EA, if it is the pc will crash. I've tired other 3a titles and none of them crash lmao.

What is funny that my puny MSRP 6800XT OC-ed beats the time spy scores of that 2300 Euro mega hyper liquid shmiquid Devil at stock with a bucket of ice cooling it

 

[Raendor]

Do any of you guys play F4 by any chance? My fps is locked there either to 45 or 55 fps. Guess it has something to do with strange internal engine vsync, but on my gtx 1080 when dictated by application it was always at 60 as intended. Maybe need some specific different settings?

You're correct, although JayZ2Cents isn't very proficient with overclocking AMD cards at all. I'm sure the equivalent of a 6900XT Golden Sample under ice water with a higher voltage and power limit would score better than 20900 in Timespy. With MPT to up the wattage by 60-70 watts, and some tweaking in Wattman, you can probably score upwards of 22-23k on that card.
