Hi people. Well I have a 3080 but decided to give the 6800XT a go. For those who have one, do you have it/use it overclocked for daily usage? I ask because when I had a 1080ti and 2080ti, I overclocked them and ran them overclocked for the time I had them. The 3080 on the other hand is undervolted to keep the temps in check. I was wondering how most people use their 6800XT. Thanks.
 
What 6800 XT have you got? If you have temperature headroom, go for it. Some 6800 XTs overclock very well, (2700Mhz) and some seem to top out at around 2500Mhz.

Just make sure you have the power limit slider set to +15% if overclocking.
I bought a 6800XT Tuf. This one seems to top out at 2550Mhz, memory can run 2150Mhz with Fast Timings active. I'll use it for a few days overclocked and check temps to see if its worth it.
 
Validate that 2150Mhz is giving performance gains, use Timespy or Unigine Superposition and go up in 10mhz clock increments from 2070Mhz. You start losing performance at some point after 2100Mhz.

If you get lucky, you will achieve 2150Mhz.
Yeah I ran 3DMark stock, and then with the overclocks to make sure I wasnt losing performance. The AMD software also says that 2150mhz when it does its own testing.
 
The software says that for every RX 6000 series GPU, so it pays to validate performance increases. :)
Just tested it again to double check. Did some runs with Time Spy, since initially I did Firestrike. The score increases performance at 2100Mhz, it increases again at 2150Mhz, and it gets even higher at 2150Mhz and "Fast" Timings.
 
I run mine stock day to day, I have the Nitro+ and it flies. Just upgraded cpu from my 1950x so now she is really stretching her legs. I really like this card, overclocked its got a fair bit of headroom but honestly it does just fine stock.
I was running my 3080 at 2000Mhz and 925v just fine, but since Radeon 6000 lauched I wanted to switch. Everything seems to be running great so far, and getting higher scores than my 3080 :)
