Question GPU clock speed beyond measure ?

[ridwan123]

Last time i got an XFX RX 7900 XTX Magnetic Air and the clock speed during gaming shows 3000mhz but on the XFX website the maximum clock is about 2615. When i try to default to it with MSI Afterburner it still shows 3000mhz, and in the Afterburner during gaming the memory clock is 2487mhz.
is it the reason my card goes to warranty because it cant go to higher clock?

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Include PSU: make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used)?

Disk drive(s): make, model, capacity, how full?

List of all connected peripherals.

Wired or wireless network?

This is either a bug on the software that reads the clock speed or you won the silicon lottery and got a gold sample that can boost that high.
If you don't see problems and the temperature doesn't go too high up, i don't see the problem. Its free performance.
You could undervolt it to make it run cooler or lower the power slider from the drivers to keep it from boosting so high if you are worried about it.. and if the number is not because of a bug. I had a case when HW info was showing my 7700X running at 11GHz which is obviously not possible.

The temperature is fine but one thing that question me if the clock speed is 3000 mhz during gameplay but in the xfx website the gameclock is up to 2615 so it means it beyond measure during gameplay will it break and is it the reason my card go to warranty?now i cant play games because my gpu is dead and still need to wait for 4 weeks.

What?
How exactly are you getting into gameplay, if your gpu is dead?
Doesn't seem to be dead in the screenshot.

It is in a past time where my gpu still alive

Hey there,

This is down to the boosting algorithm that modern GPUs use. If the thermal conditions allow (temp/voltage) then modern GPUs can often boost far past their standard clocks.

My own GPU, the 4070 Super, has standard clocks of 2530mhz, and a boost speed of 2550mhz. However, it has never run below 2805mhz and often sits around 2820mhz depending on the game. So if there's enough thermal headroom the GPU will clock itself as high as possible.

Here's an interesting thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/11d8pp3/7900_xtx_boosts_over_max_clock_frequency/

Seems you are not alone.

Unless you are getting some artefacts in game, and or the temps are off the charts, then it's fine to run it as is.

So - is it dead now?
Or are you talking about some hypothetical future?

It is in warranty
