#rx 7600 going beyond its gpu boost clock speed

My RX 7600 Bifrost Predator OC is exceeding its boost clock limit—it should be hitting 2726 MHz, but instead, it's reaching 2850 MHz. This instability is causing my games to crash.

I know I can use Adrenalin or MSI Afterburner to manually set the clock speed, but I really don’t want to run extra background apps—especially Adrenalin, which I find awful.

Is this a driver issue causing the RX 7600 to go beyond its intended boost clock? If so, AMD really needs to fix it. A lot of people seem to have the same issue, and right now, the only solution is to use third-party software to manually set it back to default.amd

great help

It's sunday.... people are doing whatever. Also this is ALL volunteer.... you're expectations are far too high.

No this isn't a driver issue, if you're running entirely stock, power and boost is handled by the gpu hardware wise and would be a firmware/vbios situation. If you don't have a bios switch on your gpu to switch from OC mode to stock/quiet mode, then i'd contact the gpu manufacturer and report the problem since it would be on them to design it properly.

Otherwise return it for a refund or replacement that works properly.

IF you're out of the warranty period however, you MIGHT be able to venture into no man's land of manual flashing the vbios with a custom one or another model that has lower boost clocks.

#

though it should be noted.. if you're running msi in conjunction with adrenaline.. you're asking for headaches..

#

You should either be running adrenaline with no other software that can mess with boost/fans... OR you run driver only (no software) with whatever tools you wish at your own risk.

you have to manually set it back to it’s normal speed because the drivers are messing something up

#

that’s just how i see it

# tight patio you have to manually set it back to it’s normal speed because the drivers are me...

fair to see it that way.. but that doesn't make it true.

I've sold a number of 7600 series gpus and none of them crash.. they might boost a bit beyond their advertised clocks, but the whole point of binning is to ensure they can, and then it's up to the vbios to manage that, about the only thing the drivers can do operating stock, is control some means of fps targets and utilization perhaps, anything else would require driver intervention which isn't supposed to occur in stock configurations.

the "most of the people that own 7600".... is grasping at straws, IF most were having this issue, it would be world wide issue and amd would be in a whole lot of hot water for faulty gpus.

pretty much ever reported problem happens to a fractino of a percent of total owners, likely a 100th of a percentage at best.

look at before and after

#

and i mean crashes like in game crashes

#

not the pc

#

i reinstall the newest drivers and now its fixed?

#

this is so confusing

#

i think i may know why that was happening

#

my startup selection was set at default at selective start up and it only the first 2 checkboxes were checked after changing it back to normal startup everything was working fine

#

weird that selective startup is set at default

#

shouldnt be like that

tight patio
#

maybe its not that

#

i have no idea

#

looks like acer might need to do some work and get their products stable....

tight patio
#

buying a graphics card from acer

#

worst decision i have made

#

the only good thing is that the card has never reached 60c

#

because it has the blower fans

#

well there's always got to be someone willing to take a chance. General rule of thumb though is to allow others to test a new entry into the market's products for 2 or 3 generations so they can prove their reliability.

#

like selling faulty products

toxic fable
#

intentionally.. yes... but how do you prove that?

tight patio
#

im coming for you

#

@toxic fable

#

i found a thread

#

on this

#

and its still an issue

#

apparently its the drivers fault

#

"you will see that AMD has always tried to compete with nvidia by overclocking their GPUs via driver. While this might work well on some GPUs, it might also lead to a lot of crashes and blackscreens"

#

should of just stayed with my gtx 1080ti

#

😔

#

i tuned the max frequency to 2700mhz and everything is fine no more crashes

#

but its crazy that this issue has been a thing since the 24.1.1 drivers or lower

#

anywhere you look you'll find for any gpu.... something to do with crash, nvidia, intel or amd.... if you're looking for it, you'll find it

tight patio
#

then people

#

said he was right

#

and he kept denying

tight patio
#

as i said earlier

#

"you will see that AMD has always tried to compete with nvidia by overclocking their GPUs via driver. While this might work well on some GPUs, it might also lead to a lot of crashes and blackscreens"

#

in most amd gpus this is stable

#

but in my case

#

its not

toxic fable
#

again that is not how it works, all the power and frequency values are configured in the vbios, power and fan tuning. It's by the manufacturer. The drivers only expose values that you could potential overclock or tune manually, they do NOT "set" values unless you manually set them.

IF it was a driver bug, 100's of thousands of gpus would be affected, it wouldn't be isolated to barely a handful of of people.

It has NOTHING to do with your amd trying to do anything, that's just entirely baseless, if anything amd's often ran their gpus and even cpus a bit under the norm, which frankly has always been the norm. Modern tech however allows for self management, chips are still binned and then they placed appropriately. People will inevitably end up with faulty chips, of which won't operate properly and will crash and burn. The solution is to send the faulty product back and have it replaced.

ok you say that but what would be a different reason for the clock speed changing itself to higher than default

#

if not that

toxic fable
#

boost profiles in the bios, or something wonky with the gpu itself. GPUS can and often do end up being flawed hardware wise.

tight patio
#

haven't changed anything in bios

#

gpu was bought in december 2024

#

i still think its a driver issue or the adrenalin software itself cause as you said it installs it anyway if you only download the drivers.

#

there's so much reddit posts about it

#

"I have had this same issue ever since I got my GPU. It looks like an issue of the AMD adrenaline software setting the incorrect clock rate on the GPU. I have the version by power color which states the base clock speed is 2470 MHz but when left on default i see the clock rate reaching 2900 MHz"

#

i have the exactly same problem

#

but just a different version of the card

#

cause mine is a predator bifrost

toxic fable
#

i'm talking vbios. not motherboard bios.

There's plenty of manufacturers out there pumping out inferior products all the time, and there's inevitably faulty products even from top tier vendors too.

tight patio
#

you still dont get it

#

after going into adrenalins tuning system the max frequency is set at 2850mhz default

#

it is not supposed to be like that

#

2725mhz is supposed to be the max frequency especially since its already a overclocked card

#

showed the same thing in msi after burner.

toxic fable
#

if you're touching anything in the adrenaline driver at all for tuning... anything at all, you're modifying the value.. .you could crank it to 3500mhz for anyone cares, Anything that isn't "auto" entirely, will show different values, if it's not stock.. it's going to show something else.

thats the thing
