Hi,
I'm using the AMD Adrenalin software to overclock my 9070 XT.
I'm using the free version of 3D Mark. Testing with Steel Nomad and Time Spy.
Then running furmark for 16 mins.
My questions are related to the Adrenalin software.
So when I enable an undervolt. I've managed to hit around -75 if I do not touch the VRM.
If I OC the VRM the OC will fail in Steel Nomad. If I back off the undervold say to -50 it will pass on all tests I've listed above.
So does the offset not just apply to the GPU?
I'm trying to understand why the offset can impact on VRM changes so much. Even a small increase will fail using -75.
I understand the -75 might be ambitious, but it's been solid on numerous tests until VRM is OC'd.
My cards boost is 3060. I get all the silicone lottery stuff. But is there a ball park of what average overclock people are hitting on these cards?
I've seen that most cards will do 2614 on VRM.
I've just passed a Steel Nomad and Time Spy as well as Furmark (16 mins) @ -50 UV and 2714 (2700Mhz) on VRM.
Is this a decent gain?
Is there anything else I should do as far as getting a better idea of stability on the card other than the 3D Mark and furmark tests?
All my tests have been using a 4K 27" monitor. Furmark has 8x MSAA enabled during tests @ 3840x2160.
Thanks in advance to any helpers/advisors.
