AMD’s RX 6900 XT graphics card frequency breaks 3GHz for the first time

Among the 7nm RDNA2 architecture RX 6000 series graphics cards released by AMD this year, in addition to the dramatic increase in performance, the overclocking capability is also a pleasant surprise. The air-cooling can reach 2.4GHz. Now the RX 6900 XT limit frequency has created a first in the history of graphics cards. , The first to reach 3GHz.

On the last day of 2020, overclocker OGS used AMD RX 6900 XT to create a new overclocking record, overclocking its core frequency from 1507MHz to 2950MHz, overclocking the acceleration frequency from 2514MHz to 3000MHz, and overclocking the memory frequency from 2000MHz to 2150MHz, etc. Effective 17.2Gbps.

Not only did the graphics card frequency reach 3Ghz for the first time, but the Ryzen 9 5950X processor used was also overclocked to 5.4GHz. After the strong combination, 3DMark’s FireStrike Extreme running score reached 33645, a new world record was born.

OGS created a 3GHz GPU overclocking record of history, but the subsequent RX 6900 XT can exceed 3GHz is still unknown because there are discovered before overclockers, AMD overclocking limit from the upper limit of the hardware – the core upper-frequency limit RX 6900 XT GPU is 3GHz, The video memory frequency is 17.2Gbps, and the current record has just reached the upper limit.

Since this limitation is a hardware lock, it is estimated to be difficult to breakthrough, but there will always be players to try it, and maybe someone will realize it in 2021.
