Overclocking The RX570
Overclocking The RX570
Traditional overclocking - As most of you know, with most video cards you can apply a simple series of tricks to boost the overall performance a little. Typically you can tweak on core clock frequencies and voltages. By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the video card increase its calculation clock cycles per second.

Original | This sample | Overclocked |
Boost Clock: 1244 MHz | Boost Clock: 1281 MHz | Max Boost Clock: 1475 MHz |
Memory Clock: 7000 MHz | Memory Clock: 7000 MHz | Memory Clock: 9000 MHz |
You can use any tweaking utility of your preference of course. We use AfterBurner (download) based on personal preference, all other brands like ASUS, Gigabyte and thus ASRock all have tweaking software available as well, it's just that advanced overlay and tweak functionality that AB offers that have my personal preference. To each his own, and with that said here is our applied and stable tweak for the RX570 MECH 2 OC:
- Core: 1475 MHz
- Mem: 2250 (x4) = 9000 MHz
- Power +50%
- Voltage +100
- Fan (50% as it was a very warm day here)
In the above chart you can see a relative performance difference in between a reference RX 570 card, then the AIB RX 570 card and then added the applied tweak and this our overclocked results plotted in percentage. You'll notice that the MSI was performing more or less at reference levels. Recent game patches have had that effect.
And once we teak it manually it is roughly 14% faster compared to the reference RX 570 card. This was with the TDP Power limiter tweak maxed out. Below all overclock results, measured at WQHD. That's not bad really.
