New AMD graphics driver increases overclock memory limit for Radeon RX 7900 GRE

AMD recently released a new driver (24.3.1) that brings full overclocking support to the Radeon RX 7900 GRE “Golden Rabbit Edition” graphics card. 

This card was previously only available in the Chinese market but is now available worldwide. At launch, reviewers (including us) noted issues with overclocking, which resulted in performance increases that fell short of expectations. AMD identified the problem as an erroneous memory tuning limit and promised to fix it with a driver update.

As noted by TechPowerUP, the latest driver release delivers on this promise by correcting the RAM overclocking problem on the RX 7900 GRE. The driver update rewrites the overclocking limitations in the card's VBIOS, a much simpler solution than updating the firmware for all RX 7900 GRE variants. In addition, the new driver includes a clock limit override, which changes the power limit during bootup.

The updated driver allows RX 7900 GRE cards to reach memory speeds of up to 3000MHz (24Gbps), a significant increase from the previous limit of 2316MHz (18.5Gbps).
