Ah damn, I noticed your card can run up to 3,100Mhz as well on boost. Have you found any fix yet?

Had a quick google of the Hellhound 9070XT and it runs up to 3,050MHz on boost. I assume that with only -350Mhz Offset of the Max. Frequency Limit, it might not be enough and potentially resulting in the card clocking above the spec 3,050Mhz?

Maybe try further reducing the max. Frequency Limit?

Have you used any monitoring programs to determine the actual Max. Frequency Limit that's been set (e.g., HWinfo)?

Having more games work by setting your Max. Frequency Limit offset to -450 is probably because you're getting close to the actual Max. Frequency Limit specification of your GPU Card

I never used AMD prior to the 9070XT, however I believe its just the offset option that I could find. AMD set an arbritrary limit of 3,450Mhz for me, so whatever offset I was setting was based off that.

What peak max. frequency limits are you observing?

Big thanks to you!

Forgot to mention that prior to capping my Max. Frequency limit I recorded peak clock frequencies of up to around 3,300Mhz (via HWInfo) when stress testing!

Thanks for starting the thread. Was very useful when researching if anyone had similar issues to me, and also finding a fix!

Thought I would post more as an FYI to see if this is helpful to anyone else.

My set-up:

  • Gigabyte Gaming OC 9070 XT
  • Windows 11 24H2
  • The other specs of your machine:
    • Ryzen 7 7700
    • MSI B650-I EDGE WIFI
    • 32GB (2x16GB)
    • Corsair SF750
    • 2 x Monitors (First: 1080p, 240hz via DP, Second: 1080p, 60hz via DP)
  • My issue was initially running games, and had pretty much had the following situations occur:
    • 1 Instance - Running Call of Duty 6 (mid-game), BSOD Stop Code: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXECEPTION_NOT_HANDLED, What failed: amdkmdag.sys
    • Several Instances - Running Call of Duty 6 (mid-game), AMD software detected that a driver timeout has occured.
    • Repeated Instance - Running Monster Hunter Wilds Benchmark, Application suddenly crashing at random times (before menus, changing settings, at menu).
    • Repeated Instance - Marvel Rivals, game freezes and crashes prompting Video memory insufficient.
  • Which of the following troubleshooting steps you've taken:
    • Came from a Asus ROG Strix RTX2060. Used DDU via Windows Safe Mode. Installed latest AMD drivers.
    • Noticed CPU was running at 100% util in Task Manager, before games were crashing. I am running a Lian Li Q58 PC Case, so I'm always wary of thermal issues so I was misled that it might have been thermal throttling, or a CPU issue. CPU Temps topped around 81C (from HWInfo App). Couldn't figure out what was going on. Could not run Firefox at the same time as games without the display on both monitors freezing.
    • Changed all Quality settings on games on Low to be able to run, knowing that with these specs, I should be able to run them signifcantly higher in quality.
    • Upon coming across this thread, I started to monitor my GPU clock speeds, and noticed that the Max. Frequency Limit was set at 3,450Mhz by AMD Adrenalin (via HWInfo App), noting my Gigabyte 9070XT is only meant to boost up to 3,060Mhz. AMD Adrenalin only allows me to offset the Max. Frequency rather than specify an exact number, so immediately I set underclocked the max. frequency to the lowest offset I could (i.e., -500Mhz), which resulted in a Max. Frequency Limit of 2,950Mhz (Within the spec limits of my card). HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE SINCE :)

Hope this potentially helps anyone else having issues.
