One thing I didn't make clear in the video is that my frequency numbers are the average over 60s in Control. A different title would give me different results, for example the benchmark stable OC setting has the card hitting 3.2GHz in Unigine Valley. 6:21 - I meant to say "slower timings" but said "lower timings" which would mean the opposite *facepalm*
Yes indeed, we have seen this prevalently this since Nvidia bringing in first generation RT with Turing. When you load RT cores on a GPU it has a different effect on the GPU clock rate, board power and stability compared with than traditional rasterised rendering workloads.
This is actually one of the best oc/uv guides Ive seen, with the clean presentation, through and logical explanations and reasonings and a step by step guide. Very nice work Tasty!
Hers and Fabios are top notch. They are putting a lot of the bigger UA-camrs to shame honestly. ua-cam.com/video/b411Ro2HMi4/v-deo.html it's always nice to see other guides to compare with your own card
This is a super bloody useful methodology and demonstration! Not even planning on going AMD this gen, but loved seeing this thorough a walk through the process.
I really love the presentation on this video, I’ve never bothered with under-volting or power tweaks, and I’ve not noticed anyone else discuss them, but this was really useful in explaining the effects of each tweak. You’d never see top tier production quality like this on LTT either, it’s just so pleasant to watch
This is such a thorough as well as detailed analysis and guide. I have seen overclocking videos about 7900xtx on so many different channels both big and small but yours was the best. You have earned my sub! Keep up the great work.
This is the best, most straight forward overclocking video I've ever seen. Great description of your methods, easy to understand, and quick to the point. P.S. Didn't know you were back! I had unsubscribed about a year ago becasue I thought the channel was dead but glad your back. Resubbed and Keep up the great content.
8:42 mark. "Giant difference between benchmark stable, and everyday gaming stable" . 100% Agree with you. Many are just to focused on getting that certain benchmarking score, without getting any real stable performance when it comes to gaming. Wish more people listed to statment on this subject. Great content! Keep up the good work!
i found your channel waaaayyyy back in 2014/15 when i first got into PC gaming, then you stopped uploading for a long time. I am very glad to see youre back and creating top tier content again. awesome.
just upgraded my AMD desktop rig, and this video was very helpful. Thanks for being so comprehensive. So many overclocking videos don't talk about the difference between benchmark results versus expectations for everyday gaming for several hours, and you covered this very well. Thanks!
The best OC/UV guide hands down for this card AND for high end AMD cards. People could learn a LOT from watching this, includlng many other tech UA-camrs.
"I'm not going to make a tutorial" -- proceeds to make a really solid tutorial / demonstration on how to overclock. This was really good and answered all my questions. thanks.
I love this! 😊 one of the best Overclocking videos I have seen. I love your attention to detail and how every step is covered so well. Even after you benchmark, getting it 24/7 gaming stable. I wish there had of been videos like this when I started out 😊. Fantastic Job Lauren 😊
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for this detailed breakdown (nearly two years later...lol)! I just got a great deal on a 7900 XTX and have been researching undervolting/overclocking while waiting for it to get shipped. And after reading two articles and watching a half-dozen videos, yours was the clearest, most detailed for someone who is new to AMD undervolting. TL;DR: great detailed video, you rock; I am subscribed. 😅
Nice, I've been waiting for reports of OC/UV on those cards. For some time AMD likes to play fast and loose with core voltages, so undervolting is pretty much always worth giving a shot. Great video! Good to see you upload more.
Great video and with detailed OC info. I have an XFX 7900XTX MERC 310 Speedster Black series and got 18,287 with your gaming OC settings. Pretty impressive. With an benchmarking setup, I'm sure I can hit maybe 20,000. Keep up the great work.
Glad you are uploading more recently still remember watching your videos almost like 10 years ago:) So far, on my 4090 FE, I managed to get a 27839 port royal score got super lucky on extremely fast memory.
thank you for this! I knew a little about OC from my Nvidia days, but this went into more detail and now i feel far more comfortable with what i am doing
Thank you for the video. People do seem to be hoping that the OC potential of the 7900 XTX, will deliver those performance gains promised by AMD. That is, significantly ahead of the 4080 in raster, while bridging some of the gap in RT. However, the 4080 is also no slouch in OC, so even a 10-15% gain for the XTX will only go so far against an OC'd 4080, which gains 8-9%. Maybe driver updates will help a bit, but any way we look at it, a maxed out and optimized XTX will likely remain at most 10-15% ahead of a maxed out 4080 in raster, and 15-25% behind in RT.
I have the exact same card and this is probably the best oc and undervolting guide for 7900 XTX cards I've seen so far. Thanks a lot. Let's see how far I can push mine!
I'm actually extremely impressed with this video. Most people believe that this is only really a guy thing. That goes without saying, however this is truly the best video I've ever seen when it comes to presenting and undervolt and overclocking scenario as well for a card. I truly hope to see more from you like this. Fucking great job. It's too bad you don't have a water block on the card. It would be interesting to see how much different the results would be
Excellent video! I have had my 7900XTX Powercolor Hellhound for about 5 days now. I'm still playing with the overclocking on it. The Hellhound is a dual 8 pin connector model with a much beefier cooler than the reference model. It was the same price as the reference model.
The 4090 waterforce is something special. Good to see AMD nearly taking back the performance crown. Hopefully the 7950xtx or 8900xtx will do it... We need more competition in the marketplace.7900xtx has 3300 max oc on the gpu.
This is the best OC/UV video I’ve watched. I learned so much. This is my first AMD card, and I’m trying to tune my OC to get the most out of it. Thought I finally found some really good OC settings, but just crashed after a few hours of trying different games. Hopefully I can go back to using these settings after some driver updates. I’d really like to get this OC fine-tuned so I don’t get any more crashes.
good guide for oc'ing the 7900-gpus. I finally have my card on water and was playing around with the overclock and had more or less the same conclusion 😊
Your methodical approach to overclocking is perfect and usually how I try. You're a lot more successful bringing it all together - that's usually where I have problems.
This is by far the most detailed video in terms of OC / UV ive found yet. Many things are considered. Silicon. Benchmark setting. Daily use. Often i read so much BS that people do 3,4 ghz with 1.025 Mv...yeah that might work on a benchmark run with 100% fan speed. But not in daily gaming with 20 differents games. Dont get me wrong...something can happen. But people tend to read the graphs also wrong. When your GPU hits for 2 seconds the 3.4 GHZ that also doenst mean that card does an average of 3.4 Ghz. This is by far the most detailed video in terms of OC / UV ive found yet. Many things are considered. Silicon. Benchmark setting. Daily use.
Really glad I watched this. I've seen alot of your videos suggested by UA-cam but first time I took the bait. Very impressive clear academic like presentation. 👍 . Forwarding to friends. Thank you for your work
Excellent video. Really helpful to the new owners. I found all your testing logical and easy to follow. THIS is the video tutorial new owners need to watch first!
I have a question for you. Can I update AMD gpu drivers using the adrenaline software? Or do I have to visit AMD website, download the driver to my desktop and then install it?
I'm pretty sure you can update in the software because there's a button to check for updates, unfortunately I haven't been able to try it out yet because it just says "no updates are available".
Overall I like to keep my hardware as is. The engineers that designed them did a great job in most cases. Love your vids. This is really great for those wo want to get it tuned up =D
Thank you for the graphs. Barely anyone provides incremental graphs how things affect the performance. Edit: Honestly aside from the disclaimer this is better than some of the guides on youtube.
Was researching on how to overclock/undervolt my new 7900 XTX, and even though earlier in the video you said this wasn't a guide, this turned out to be a guide, for me at least, lol. Especially the part where you said to use AMD's Auto Tuning settings, then combine them together for a shortcut, then continuing from there. That's actually such a good idea! Doing that now, thanks!
One thing I didn't make clear in the video is that my frequency numbers are the average over 60s in Control.
A different title would give me different results, for example the benchmark stable OC setting has the card hitting 3.2GHz in Unigine Valley.

Yes indeed, we have seen this prevalently this since Nvidia bringing in first generation RT with Turing. When you load RT cores on a GPU it has a different effect on the GPU clock rate, board power and stability compared with than traditional rasterised rendering workloads.
I've also found that the adrenalin software buggy so I reverted back to msi afterburner
This is actually one of the best oc/uv guides Ive seen, with the clean presentation, through and logical explanations and reasonings and a step by step guide. Very nice work Tasty!
Really nice, best oc Guide for 7900xtx did see till now!
This is the exact method I used on my RX 6900XT, to gain a +15% over stock.
Well presented, each step clear and concise. Thank you!
Yeah, this was *really* good. :-)
Getting this card soon. TY for this! Subbed!
Hers and Fabios are top notch. They are putting a lot of the bigger UA-camrs to shame honestly. ua-cam.com/video/b411Ro2HMi4/v-deo.html it's always nice to see other guides to compare with your own card
glad to see you putting out more content lately. Not only are you very through you are very easy to listen to
This is a super bloody useful methodology and demonstration! Not even planning on going AMD this gen, but loved seeing this thorough a walk through the process.
Best OC guide for the 7900 XTX I've seen so far ! complete and concise ... and the soft voice is a major plus ^^ so calm and peaceful.
I really love the presentation on this video, I’ve never bothered with under-volting or power tweaks, and I’ve not noticed anyone else discuss them, but this was really useful in explaining the effects of each tweak.
You’d never see top tier production quality like this on LTT either, it’s just so pleasant to watch
Undervolting on RDNA3 is pretty nice as it cuts power usage by a lot and gives more headroom for OC.
This is a superb video. It’s so nice not getting yelled at on UA-cam.
Ultimative!

This video is so educational and soothing I can literally watch this every night before bedtime.
just upgraded my AMD desktop rig, and this video was very helpful. Thanks for being so comprehensive. So many overclocking videos don't talk about the difference between benchmark results versus expectations for everyday gaming for several hours, and you covered this very well. Thanks!
Must've watched 1,000s of videos on overclocking and this is the most useful by a country mile
This is awesome as heck. I loved that you included all of those options available in the software and showed results! Very thorough, great work!
Thank you very much for producing such excelltent content, the video on the AMD 7900 XTX OC UV is undoubtedly the most helpful I have seen.
Very informative and well made video. Well done and keep up the good work 👍. Merry Christmas 🎄 x

Wow, did not expect this quality! Keep it up thisway!
Good to see you're posting more.
Fantastic video
Great work, one of the better AMD overclocking video I have seen👍
Impeccable presentation! Thank you!
Another good, informative video, thanks Lauren 😊
This is probably the clearest and most interesting OC video I've ever seen
Thank you for sharing such a concise and well presented analysis. Very professional! 🙂

Easily the best video on this topic. Clear, no fluff, brilliant
The video I was hoping I'd see soon 💪
Awesome guide and felt I actually learned a lot of info about how 7900 XTX behaves!
Nice, I've been waiting for reports of OC/UV on those cards. For some time AMD likes to play fast and loose with core voltages, so undervolting is pretty much always worth giving a shot.
Great video! Good to see you upload more.
This video helped me wayyyyy more than the other ones. Great content!
Has the oc changed any since the past year with newer drivers?
Great video and with detailed OC info. I have an XFX 7900XTX MERC 310 Speedster Black series and got 18,287 with your gaming OC settings. Pretty impressive. With an benchmarking setup, I'm sure I can hit maybe 20,000. Keep up the great work.
Awesome vid, cheers!
Well done Lauren - Another comprehensive guide to overclocking. Great Video
Woo! Congrats on new vid! :D
welcome back ...doing the first OC in a decade. Brilliant.
Excellent work! One of the best OC/UV videos of all time 👏
This was incredibly comprehensive, you've earned a new sub.
Great overclocking guide. Super easy to understand. Thank you!
this is a great video. not overly complicated and clean diagrams. subbed 👍
Super clean, and smooth presentation thank you!
This is really well done, Lauren! Thanks for putting this together. Now, I just need a 7900XTX!
Glad you are uploading more recently still remember watching your videos almost like 10 years ago:) So far, on my 4090 FE, I managed to get a 27839 port royal score got super lucky on extremely fast memory.
thank you for this! I knew a little about OC from my Nvidia days, but this went into more detail and now i feel far more comfortable with what i am doing
Subscribed! Best overclocking video i've ever seen
Can you do another 7900xtx OC video with the new drivers that were released today?
Thank you for the video. People do seem to be hoping that the OC potential of the 7900 XTX, will deliver those performance gains promised by AMD. That is, significantly ahead of the 4080 in raster, while bridging some of the gap in RT.

About right. You get 4080 if into RT and XTX for Rast and MW2 WZ2 performance.
You somehow made this very involved process very simplified and the video is a reasonable length too. Great job!
I have the exact same card and this is probably the best oc and undervolting guide for 7900 XTX cards I've seen so far. Thanks a lot. Let's see how far I can push mine!
Solid work much better methods and presentation than I have seen elsewhere!
Well, I didn't fall asleep like I did within 60 seconds of another overclock vid. Thanks for a clear testing procedure and not babbling :D
I just got my 7900xtx and this was very useful to find a stable overclock. Thank you so much for your work. Much appreciated!
That was really well done and beautifully articulated - nice!
Wow, this is freaking Great!!! Ty!!!
My XFX 7900 XTX is already a BEAST w/out a non-factory OC. This is Next LVL!! Thank you again!! Subbed!!!
I'm actually extremely impressed with this video. Most people believe that this is only really a guy thing.
That goes without saying, however this is truly the best video I've ever seen when it comes to presenting and undervolt and overclocking scenario as well for a card.

Nice test for following and the chilling voice to listen to! Thanks, im Zen now
Thank you for the very informative video all the tests that’s been done has a graph therefore there’s an option to choose. And of course i subbed!
This is honestly fantastic, and so clearly presented.
Looks like you got a golden sample! Most reviewers are only getting a 5-8% overclock and you got 9.1-10.7%! Congrats!!! 🥰👍
This is spot on, thanks for the video Lauren !
This is the most thorough and competent 7000 series overclocking video on UA-cam. Someone send this to Jayztwocents so he can learn something.
I watched a video about 7900XTX for a few days
It is your most direct and detailed
Thank you for your video and test
This is the best OC/UV video I’ve watched. I learned so much.

Hopefully I can go back to using these settings after some driver updates. I’d really like to get this OC fine-tuned so I don’t get any more crashes.
I really wanted to know how the temperature was before and after undervolting/overclocking?

@@TastyPC Fair enough. Thank you so much!
Hi,
yes you can update via the driver. The driver can even show you "beta" drivers. (Depending on the settings you choose.)
@@SmokeMastaP appreciated.
Back at it again!
Overall I like to keep my hardware as is. The engineers that designed them did a great job in most cases. Love your vids. This is really great for those wo want to get it tuned up =D
well done review and merry christmas
New content, keep it rolling Tasty! 💪💪
Great analysis, right to the point with the facts!
You nailed this, well done
We miss you!!!
Well done best OC guide so far by a country mile.
Thank you so much. I recently built my dream pc. I needed help with the settings and your video helped a lot. ❤❤❤❤
What a great video.
I would love a power saving version of this video where you attempt stock performance (or higher) while minimizing power draw.
Thank you for the graphs. Barely anyone provides incremental graphs how things affect the performance.
Edit: Honestly aside from the disclaimer this is better than some of the guides on youtube.
Amazing video. Thank you so much for your time, effort and delivery!
