So I've been digging through chatgpt (mostly) with this one as my urge to get rid of the very annoying microsutter (ms) has resurfaced a week ago. I did everything it asked me to do but apparently Adrenaline overrules all other settings (like MSI AB) and even its own when it comes to minimum clock speeds or stuff like that. Based on benchmarkes, my GPU (more precisely a Powecolor 6900XT Red Devil OC) is having constant ups and downs in GPU clock speed and there's no way I can fix that. I cannot force it to not to switch into energy saving mode and I cannot overrule RDNA's stupidity using MSI AB or any 3rd party stuff - so far. Tried undervoltage but that didn't work either, all of the graphs look like an E.R. episode before the guy dies.

Is there a way to force Radeon GPUs to work "properly"? :) I'm going to build a new config sometime soon (early next year, probably?) and I will switch back to green, mostly because of these obnoxious software things AMD has. This, or their encoding, the DP/HDMI usage, etc. Stuff of these annoying things they can't get rid of for 5 years or so.

Anyway, here's my config:
ASUS ROG strix z390-H gaming
9700K
PC 6900XT
32 GB G.skill DDR4
Everything noteworthy runs from m.2 SSD.

Thanks a bunch!

When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
 
The clock speed in AMD GPUs fluctuates a lot based on the load and the boost parameters. You can't get it to stay stable unless you find a way to disable the boost completely. Nvidia uses a different approach and just runs the clock at max when you play a game, regardless of how much load there is on the GPU.
