Overclocking

Overclocking the Radeon RX 7600 XT is very similar to the RX 7600. It's not as complex as on the RX 7900 Series, but it's still not trivial.

First of all, you have to raise the power limit to maximum, the slider ends at +20%, which is a bit more than on most other Radeon cards, which go up to 15%.
Next, max out the memory clock slider, it's rather short, topping out at 2500 MHz, which is 100 MHz higher than the RX 7600, but still not high enough.
Now, also increase "Max Frequency" to maximum, which is at 3200 MHz.
At this point run a first stability test and record performance.
Now gradually lower the maximum voltage (default is 1.2 V), until your card becomes unstable, which happened for me at 1.05 V to 1.10 V, depending on the card.
At this point I also pushed up the Min Frequency slider, which seems to have helped a little bit gaining some additional performance. This might increase power consumption though for very little actual FPS improvement.
