AMD Sets a New GPU OC World Record With Radeon RX 9060 XT @ 4,769 MHz

VideoCardz first spotted that AMD set a new GPU overclocking world record with its Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics card running at an amazing 4,769 MHz using liquid nitrogen as the coolant. This record was set in tandem with the world-renowned overclocker "Splave" from the United States, who already held the previous world record with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 running at 4,020 MHz. This time, using RDNA 4 silicon, "Splave" made the GPU maintain stability at a 4,769 MHz core clock. While no official HWBot submissions have been made, AMD posted a video on its AMD Gaming YouTube channel where the company showcased the amazing achievement. We are left to wonder why AMD didn't promote this record, which is a very impressive achievement for its RDNA 4 silicon. In a brief frame, "Splave" was seen running a custom tool to fine-tune the GPU. AMDships this GPU with a base clock of 1,700 MHz, a game clock of 2,530 MHz, and a maximum boost clock of 3,130 MHz, meaning that the new world record pushed the GPU boost by an additional 50%.

I wonder what was the realistic framerate uplift at that clock. Coz it feels like this is ultimately worthless, just cool for the clock itself.

that was achieved with LN2 cooling, nothing about this was realistic or worth anything in terms of real life use, that's just a cool title to claim, especially by such a large margin over the previous record

Makes me miss the Phase Change loops folks would build. -24x7 sub-zero temps.

This is an interesting achievement. A decade ago this would have been very impressive. With overclocking being a rather useless niche these days it's just not got the "WOW" factor like it once would have.
EDIT:
This is not a fanboy statement either. I would have the exact same perspective if this had been done with an NVidia or Intel product.

Which OEM made this variant? Is it one of the XFX cards?

9060 boosts crazy high. I get well into 3600mhz on mine...

That's AMD's reference design, the blueprint for vendors to use for their own board designs. They also had one of the extremely overbuilt mid-revision prototype boards under Ln2 (unclear which board they used for the record, prototype or reference).

Let's see Paul Allen's clock.

Not the point of the question. The question wasn't how realistic was it to achieve with exotic cooling.

The question was, assuming RDNA4 would run at such high clocks, would there still be performance uplift or would it be bottlenecked by the architecture not scaling past 3,6Ghz?

Some people ran such test with early Zen architectures that were famously limited to around 4Ghz.

Impressive! My 9070XT will top out 3300 but a 3400 spike and toast. I’m still not disappointed with the limit. I’m mainly using it for VR so it’s pretty much running full tilt all the time doing 32-3300 and staying amazingly cool as well. That’s probably the thing that impresses me the most is how great the thermals are. I do run custom curve that’s just basically a 1:1 ramp it usually tops out at 76% certainly audible but I’m thermals>noise.

Lucky bastards. The fact that they hit OC records with it shows that a potential MBA card would've be great for consumers. At least they got the chance to tune and test them.

What software is AMD Graphics Manager in the third photo? And could AMD do us a favour by stopping limiting overclocking tweaking in the driver?
