a catch

Description:
The third-party utility can potentially boost an RX 6800 XT up to RTX 3090 Ti performance levels, but we would advise caution.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

If youve got one of AMDs Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards and are looking rather longingly at the RTX 4090 , we might have good news for you. New third-party utility software is claiming to provide huge performance boosts for RDNA 2 GPUs, enough to potentially outstrip Nvidias current-gen flagship RTX 3090 Ti, and all without the crazy price tags now attached to Team Greens cards.

Radeon Monster Profile (RMP) comes from coder and overclocking enthusiast
Yuri Bubliy , who claims to have created a utility software that delicately modifies the voltage and frequency curves of RDNA 2 cards to improve performance.

Bubliy is well-known in the hardware enthusiast space, having already created AMD-focused software for monitoring and overclocking components (most notably his HYDRA software for Ryzen CPUs , of which RMP is a utility extension). RMP is his latest piece of work, and will be available later in 2022.

In a post on Twitter breaking down some of the details, Bubliy explains that RMP enables the RX 6000 cards to reach their maximum potential', with special attention paid to areas such as the VRAM subsystem, where a reduction in operating voltage allowed for reduced heat generation to keep the card as a whole running within safe a temperature range. Fall plans. You already heard about my new calculator for DDR5 (demo soon), today it's time to tell you about the presets for RDNA2 video cards which could surprise you. RX 6800XT

Bubily claims that the Radeon Monster Profile can boost the performance of
the RX 6800 XT by more than 13% without thermal throttling issues, which
makes that card slightly outperform a stock-settings RTX 3090 Ti - with significantly less power draw, too. Its a serious performance leap, but as always wed be wary of using third-party software to tweak your GPU.

Its also important to note that the performance figures listed are from the 3DMark Time Spy GPU test - a synthetic benchmark often used to gauge
graphical performance. We dont know what other components Bubliy used for testing, nor do we know how well this overclocked RX 6800 XT performs in real-world gaming and rendering benchmarks.

Using third-party software to tweak your GPU - especially in such an aggressive manner as this - can also potentially void your warranty, so tread carefully if you choose to test out RMP when it releases. AMD does have its own software , Radeon Adrenalin, for tweaking your GPU, which may be a safer bet. You can also check out our guide to overclocking your GPU.

Still, were quite intrigued by RMP, since it does represent a way for RDNA 2 GPU owners to close the performance gap somewhat once RDNA 3 arrives later this year. Sure, the RX 6800 XT isnt one of the best graphics cards out
there, but if RMP can safely improve its performance, then itll become a far more reasonable choice of GPU.
