In the past weeks, Nvidia and AMD presented their new flagship graphics cards to users. Now, examining the details of ADA Lovelace and RDNA 3 architecture, ComputerBase has discovered that RDNA 3’s flagship card, the RX 7900 XTX, has achieved surprising clock speeds in some applications.AMD RX 7900 XTX reaches 3548MHz speeds
Today ComputerBase shared some data including the clock speeds and power consumption of Sapphire RX 7900 XTX and RTX 4080. The graphics from the Blender platform show that the RX 7900 XTX with the custom cooler can reach very high clock speeds of 3548MHz.
Reportedly, the frequency increase was achieved with a power consumption of 374W with a limit of 500W. This shows us that the card has higher power consumption compared to the reference model. It should also be noted that Sapphire RX 7900 XTX offers a base clock speed of 2832 MHz, which is 24 percent higher than the reference model (2554MHz).
Unfortunately, there is no similar frequency increase in games. Although ComputerBase states that the frequency goes up to 3155 MHz in some special test scenes, we can say that this situation is not continuous.If we recall, AMD introduced the RDNA 3 architecture as “the first architecture to exceed 3GHz”. Thus, the claim was confirmed even though it is valid only in non-game applications. On the other hand, in addition to the Navi 31 that powers the RX 7900 series, there will be two more chips in the RDNA 3 architecture. Therefore, smaller Navi 33/32-based models can break through the 3GHz barrier.
