Tech News Update February 10th: Extreme overclocking enthusiast SkatterBencher conducted overclocking tests on the Radeon 780M integrated graphics and its DDR5 memory in the Ryen7 8700G, resulting in performance boosts averaging up to 37%.
The player managed to achieve a peak frequency of 3.15GHz and a sustained frequency of 3086MHz by manually overclocking the Radeon 780M. Additionally, they overclocked the DDR5-6400 memory to 8000MHz. Through tests like Geekbench 6 GPU, 3DMark Night Raid, and three 1080P games including "Death Returns," they achieved an average improvement of 37%.
Even overclocking the Radeon 780M alone results in a 22% performance boost, bringing it close to entry-level dedicated graphics cards. However, it's clear that it can't fully replace cards like the RX 6400, RTX 3050 6GB, and Arc A380.
According to the player's provided data, achieving a 15% performance boost is relatively easy by simply enabling PBO and EXPO in the BIOS.
Overclocking the Radeon 780M requires not only a high-end cooler but also consideration of power consumption issues.
During testing, manually overclocking the GPU can result in power consumption of up to 156W, surpassing the 115W of the RTX 4060. In terms of efficiency, this is clearly not cost-effective.
Even with PBO enabled, the power consumption of the Radeon 780M ranges from 69 to 83W, equivalent to that of the RX 6400, which is not very promising.
