On March 24th, AMD released the 24.3.1 version of its graphics card driver. In addition to the usual support for new game optimizations, one bug fix caught attention: "RX 7900 GRE's maximum memory frequency limit may be misidentified." Upon testing, it was discovered that AMD quietly unlocked the memory frequency limit for this special Chinese edition graphics card.
Shortly after its release, issues were identified with memory frequency overclocking for this card, and AMD promised a quick fix. Now, in the new driver, the limitation has finally been lifted.
According to tests conducted by TPU, the RX 7900 GRE achieves an equivalent memory clock of up to 3000MHz (24GHz effective) with the latest drivers, marking a substantial increase from the previous 2316MHz (18.5GHz effective), representing an almost 30% improvement.
In the tests, with a core frequency maintained at 2803MHz, the frame rate in the 3DMark Time Spy GT1 benchmark rose from 72.6FPS to 77.7FPS, indicating a significant 15% increase.
While real-world gaming performance may not see such dramatic gains, the higher memory clock speeds are undeniably beneficial, especially for games with high memory demands.
