I’ve been messing around with overclocking my 7900xt on linux to see if I can use the same settings as I do on windows. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem nearly as stable on linux. For some reason adjusting the memory clock by about any amount causes a lot of screen flickering. Has anyone had much success overclocking their AMD gpu with the same settings as on windows? I’m running wayland, kernel 6.7.1 with a drm patch fo fix setting power level. Using LACT to do the overclock.

How far are you able to take mclk in Fedora without any voltage offset?

Does 1020 mV pass Vulkan memory test in Windows?

Basically no increase with default voltage either. If I bump mclk +10 it starts to flicker. Set it back to 1250 and no more flickering. I will have to test that on windows when I get some time.

huh, interesting. is the flickering like an intermittent white flash?

Also - sounds good.

I just tested memtest_vulkan on linux, everything default but set Mclk to 1300, and it passed. But, there was still some flickering, not non-stop, but every once in a while I would get a flicker.

Is this with a single display? Do you think you could capture a video of this flicker?

I’ve got 3 displays. I just noticed something interesting; if I apply my settings in LACT I notice some flicker, if I then logout of my gnome session and relogin it seems fine, no flickering yet. I’ll do some more testing.
