ASUS x PCMR – GPU Tweak III WORLDWIDE GIVEAWAY! Win an ROG STRIX RTX 4080 SUPER, a bundle of TUF Gaming RX 7900 XT and a Ryzen 9 7950X3D, and many ASUS ROG Goodies!
My 6800 XT is a XFX Merc 319 so it already had a decent overclock out of the box. I was mainly interested in making it run cooler for the sake of longevity, while also squeezing out some more performance if possible. After some testing, these are pretty conservative but very stable settings that I’m happy with. Card maintains clocks significantly higher than reference, with OC’d VRAM + fast timings as well, and hotspot temps don’t really go past 77 C.
So these were the stats I used on msi afterburner, but I can’t apply it anymore because my system freezes if I put any sort of load on my GPU. I have it constantly undervolted and underclocked, otherwise it randomly freezes on desktop, so… Until I buy a new one, no playing with oc.
That being said, I am struggling to find a way to undervolt in this software. But then maybe I’m just dumb and blind(Which is often the case).
Note: The fan speed is 0, because it also has overheating issues as well, so its being cooled by two Arctic p12 fans that are plugged into the a cha port.

Will the software work with APU? 😂 i have a Ryzen 7 5700G…
Doesn’t seem to work with integrated graphics (UHD630) which tbf, was expected.

As PGU prices go up, i wanna squeeze all the performance possible to last long enough till GPUs are free and distributed left and right on every corner.☺
EDIT:
Managed to squeeze +138 at 800mv and +200 on memory
I’m using this GTX 1650. I usually play competitive games and I think that the RTX 4080 SUPER or the RX 7900 XT can raise the FPS. Using a 240Hz monitor btw

i decided to just run the OC Scanner, edited the voltage and memory clock a lil.
I have an Asus gt 730 2gb gddr5 low profile passively cooled card, I have been using GPU Tweak as I already have an Asus card and never had any compatibilty issues, I use this settings as this is the highest I can go on my card wihtout overheating issues, I enjoy playing games like GTA 5, Mafia 2, Watch Dogs and Sleeping Dogs
I have an old 1080 which is slowly dying, so I’m not trying to go overboard, just testing the program by using the default OC settings.
I hope to upgrade my whole rig as soon as I’m able.

i love that i cant enter a pc upgrade givaway because my pc is so crap i can’t overclock to enter. i5-4570, 8gb mismatched ddr3, integrated graphics primary, AMD HD 7000 series GPU secondary (yes the dedicated gpu is worse than the one integrated into the cpu)
I was scared to overclock a laptop GPU especially fiddling with power limits on a laptop so I just decided to click on OC mode for +20 Mhz on the boost clock.
I’m only using the standard OC-Profile on my 7900XT since I don’t want to deal with the crashes/freezes that happen when trying to manually find the limits and the countless restarts following those.
I overclocked both, Core and Memory, to the maximum both can take before some games start to make issues. Core is +160 MHz and Memory is +2652 MHz. Those settings are rock solid and give some nice fps boost in games and keep my framerate stable. Finding those limits took some time, even though the memory is able to go even faster, I settled for those numbers to ensure stable gaming experience in every game. (I am looking at you RDR2)
Testing the settings in GPU Twerk 3 I also turned up the voltage to see if it works properly, and it does indeed increase voltage. I chose those settings because I want to get most out of my GPU and that’s close to limit what I am able to squeeze out of my GPU.
Using the VF Profile I could fine tune the OC even further, the VF tuner is well made.
I might play around with the VF Tuner in the future since it’s straightforward to use.
Got 11 more fps thanks to gpu tweak 3 in BF3 with theese overclocks. My poor gtx 770 is too weak for newer titles, but a 4080 super would be an amazing upgrade, a 7900xt would be an even better one! Even if I don’t win its fine, good luck to everyone else!

Only if I had ascended 🥺😭

Honestly Im not into overclocking tbh so I used the default OC mode, I hope y’all dont mind that lol

Silent mode seems alrighty helping my room gets less hotter with less power target and lower gpu clock.

Way to exclude Linux users lol

I usually use Afterburner but I’m gonna give this a go and continue to play around with the settings. I like the interface.
So I can’t enter because owning a GTX 1070?
Nah, I’m happy with my RX5700. Oh and I don’t know if GPU Tweak 3 works with Linux (?)

Used the default OC profile, tested it and runs smoothly. I will try an undervolt profile maybe, because I am using an SFF pc, so temps are a factor

A simple OC for the 2070. I really, really need an upgrade 🙁
Thanks, ill pass on the bloatware.
