AMD Overclocks Radeon RX 9060 XT Past 4.7GHz To Shatter GPU Frequency Record

AMD can now officially lay claim to the world's fastest overclocked GPU frequency, a feat it achieved in collaboration with professional overclocker Splave on a modest Radeon RX 9060 XT. Using liquid nitrogen (LN2) to keep temps in check, Splave and AMD's own Bill Alverson pushed the card's GPU clock to 4.769GHz to snatch the crown from NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 4090.

Up until now, the world record for a discrete GPU sat at 4.02GHz (4,020MHz). Incidentally, it was Splave who also set that record back on July 6, 2024, on the GeForce RTX 4090, which at the time was NVIDIA's flagship graphics card for gaming.

AMD's joint effort with Splave was also enough to leap past the fastest frequency on record for any kind of GPU, surpassing the 4.25GHz (4,250MHz) clock speed achieved last May with integrated graphics on ...
