Overclocking

GPU-Z Screenshot for Overclocked Graphics Card

Overclocking the Radeon RX 7900 XTX works differently than before, you must increase the power limit, and you must lower the maximum voltage, or there won't be a significant performance improvement-

To start, you have to raise the power limit to maximum, the slider ends at +15%
Next, give the maximum GPU clock slider a small boost, to ensure it doesn't end up being the limiting factor, I picked 3350 MHz
Now gradually lower the maximum voltage, until your card becomes unstable in games, which happened for me at 0.99 V
Increase the memory clock slider until the card becomes unstable in games. I noticed that with higher voltage you can run higher memory, but overall it will result in lower performance, because GPU clocks end up not so high
