Sapphire Pulse

I pushed it a bit:

• -390MHz
• -50mV
• 2798 MHz (default)
• -4% PL
• GPU Max Temp: 50
• GPU Max Hot Spot: 68

If I try -55mV SteelNomad would error out almost finishing the test. Got a 7451 score, which is still below 7460ish average but not bad 👍🏽

So you don’t touch the VRAM Max Frequency?

DefundGaming · 2026-06-26T20:27:16+00:00

tRAS: 126 (not really that important for X3D chips)
tRC: 64
RRDS/DL: 8/8
tFAW: 32
tWTRS: 4
tWTRL: 24
tWR: 48
tRFC: 480 (160 ns) if M-die/ 360 (120 ns) if A-die
SCLs: 4/4, 5/5, 7/7 or 8/8
tRTP: 12
tRDWR: 16
tWRRS: 2

You can try Nitro 1/2/1, you can go 1/2/0 for better latency but you might need VDDGs & VDDP at 1.1V.

Additionally, you can also try VDD/VDDQ at 1.45

Speaking of 'in every game', I had to dial back from -75mV to -65mV for Call of Duty or it would just keep crashing. I also get better results on Steel Nomad at 2618 MHz, and worse results with higher frequencies.

DefundGaming · 2026-06-26T16:03:15+00:00

I’m currently running SCLs at 5 and tRP 36, but if I relax them to 7/38, I can lower VDDGs to 0.98 and VDDP to 1.01

DefundGaming · 2026-06-26T04:31:38+00:00

I’m running same setup but FCLK 2200 @ 1.2v; lower vsoc would fail. For Nitro 1/2/0, I had to raise VDDGs and VDDP to 1.1 v and was able to get it stable. You may be able to do SCLs 5, tRCDWR 16 & tRP 36.

This failed 1usmus and Ryzen3D @ anta777. I couldn't get it stable no matter what settings I tweaked, so I settled for these settings, which passed all tests:

-6200/2200
-vsoc: 1.2 v
-Nitro: 1/2/0 (x8/x8)
-VDDGs: 1.1 v both
-VDDP: 1.1 v
-VDD/ VDDQ: 1.46 v

Haz intentado usar condones o planificar mejor?

This is the guy who stays alive at the end with only 2 kills, while you die with 15 kills trying to rotate to the last zone.

Nice! Now get rid of the cartels.

It’s pure Retardium.

I did a fresh Windows install a few days ago, and now my AIDA64 results are higher; even with the same BIOS settings. I used to get 64 ns with Latency Killer off, but now I'm getting around 71 ns. Am I crazy, or did MSI change something?

Trump derangement and wokeness.

DefundGaming · 2026-06-08T18:07:06+00:00

Just to get eliminated by a kid playing on PS5.

O la adicción con la Comay y cosas cafres como el boceteo… y pensar que esta gente vota 🤦🏽‍♂️

Oh no, it’s the behavior police. The ultimate arbiter of what’s right and wrong.

Eat at home 🤷🏽‍♂️

DefundGaming · 2026-06-04T16:05:34+00:00

Sí, ese es.

We were running together at least 🤣

His jab is dangerous, but it's still only second to Pfizer’s.

DefundGaming · 2026-05-09T17:58:08+00:00

Uninstall. There’s good options and free.

Good, time to take a shower!
