Just a quick question for the experts out there. Every review I can find on the net overclocks the RX6900XT memory from 2000 to 2150 without any problems. I am not so lucky, but I was wondering is it just me or are there more cases like mine out in the wild. If I overclock my memory to let say 2050 I don't see any difference in 3dmark, but above that (2100) I see that the scores drop a little bit. At 2150, the card feels a bit unstable even in windows. I have the card now for about 7 months and it just stays like that and not degrading.
If I set the timing to fast (which I use 24/7) the 3dmark scores are noticeably higher, which is strange that the memory behaves so much differently between the timing and speed. So in short, I am running the card with fast timings, 10% power (311W) and stock clocks (+- 2580) 24/7 at 2k 165hz gaming and I have not experienced anything wrong with the card.
So, have you guys experienced this? Could it be that they changed from samsung to hynix, etc and the reviewers samples are different? Lastly, it is not cooling as I am getting the exact same results with stock cooling as with water cooled.
I am happy with this card and will keep it for another year or so, I am just wondering about the memory, that is all.
Thanks guys.
