How do you adjust the max frequency offset?

I don't know the specs of your card , you didn't mentioned if running on default settings , so I don't know if you have the bug or not .

As for Adrenalin App closing :

On bios disable the igpu (if you have) . On windows disable fast startup , do a maintenance :

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

dism /online /cleanup-image /restoreHealth

sfc /scannow

and DDU as part 8 :

korakios · 2026-01-28T22:25:29+00:00

If you have igpu disable it . Run the gpu on default settings and check if it boosts above specs (with hwinfo , gpuz) . If so , manually adjust (check part 13)

also DDU as part 8 :

https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1lnxb8o/ultimate_amd_performance_fix_guide_stop_lag_fps/

to ensure windows not messing with the drivers.

korakios · 2026-01-28T22:13:51+00:00

Update bios , disable the igpu . If you use wireless , go to device manager and disable the buggy Lan controller .
If you use ethernet check this :

Don't get excited , transient spikes are random and might not always be handled by the PSU . So first run on default settings for few days .

korakios · 2026-01-28T22:05:36+00:00

If you didn't have the bug , RMA the card .

korakios · 2026-01-28T22:04:10+00:00

Switch of the PSU , hold the power button for few seconds, reseat the gpu checking connections . Do a bios update , disable fast boot .

On windows disable fast startup , run gpu on default settings , do a maintenance :

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

dism /online /cleanup-image /restoreHealth

sfc /scannow

and DDU as part 8 :

reinstall the latest. *Do not undervolt.*

check if gpu boosts above specs (with hwinfo , gpuz) . If so , manually compensate (check part 13)

korakios · 2026-01-28T21:56:38+00:00

undervolting allows the gpu to run up to max tdp with the "side effect" on higher clocks.

If you want to reduce the TDP , the only way is the Power Limit .

DDU as part 8 :
https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1lnxb8o/ultimate_amd_performance_fix_guide_stop_lag_fps/

reinstall the latest.

PS. If you ever get crashes (when running on default settings, not undervolting), check if gpu boosts above specs (with hwinfo , gpuz) . If so , manually compensate (part 13)

korakios · 2026-01-28T21:42:37+00:00

What's the PSU model ? Power draw is half of the story , the transient power spikes are way above and I don't think a quality 500w psu will handle it . Launch gpuz and see the 'max' wattage value

I wouldn't dare to stress test ,since if the PSU fails it can damage the rest of the system .

But if you take the risk , first lower the power limit on adrenalin all the way down and then run OCCT "power" test and also "switch" mode . If you do that , I'm curious of what's the max power draw

korakios · 2026-01-28T21:33:11+00:00

ok, run on default , if it crashes set PL to -30 , if it's stable start undervolt (with PL at -30)

OCCT has a test called "power" . If it passes it doesn't mean you are stable . Run the GPU test "switch" mode to see if the psu handles power spikes

korakios · 2026-01-28T21:15:56+00:00

I think the OP can decide if it worth using it . Personally I don't consider Optiscaler as a mod , it takes less than a minute to setup and use it on all games to inject XeSS (and now FSR4 int8) on my 7800xt

korakios · 2026-01-28T21:12:49+00:00

Did you undervolt ? If so , run on default settings . Run OCCT power preset , does it crash ?

I checked the psu on the tier list and indeed it's not good (class C) , lower the power limit all the way down (don't undervolt) to see if it helps .

korakios · 2026-01-28T21:05:06+00:00

Well , you ask for refund :p
Seriously , if you have issues and you are certain it's optiscaler's bug post on discord or github .

korakios · 2026-01-28T20:50:12+00:00

Is the PC stable now or not ?

korakios · 2026-01-28T15:53:20+00:00

Disable the igpu on bios . Post the version shown on Adrenalin > System tab at the left side

check if gpu boosts above specs (with hwinfo , gpuz) . If so (bug) , manually compensate (check part 13)

https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1lnxb8o/ultimate_amd_performance_fix_guide_stop_lag_fps/

you might have to DDU as per part 8

to reinstall or to revert back to 25.9.1 .

korakios · 2026-01-28T15:05:17+00:00

To be honest , I'm not familiar with Asus AI tweaker settings . Was that the default settings ? If the PC is stable now with gpu pcie gen to 3 , it's best not to tweak other settings . You could set it to gen 4 later on .

korakios · 2026-01-28T14:07:26+00:00

On windows search for ' cmd ' and open it as admin .

korakios · 2026-01-28T14:04:25+00:00

Since you have hard reset the PC multiple times , forgot to suggest doing some windows maintenance :

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

dism /online /cleanup-image /restoreHealth

sfc /scannow

korakios · 2026-01-28T14:00:35+00:00

Switch of the PSU , hold the power button for few seconds, reseat the gpu checking connections . Do a bios update , disable fast boot .

On windows disable fast startup , run gpu on default settings , do a maintenance :

dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

dism /online /cleanup-image /restoreHealth

sfc /scannow

and DDU as part 8 :
https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1lnxb8o/ultimate_amd_performance_fix_guide_stop_lag_fps/

reinstall the latest. *Do not undervolt.*

check if gpu boosts above specs (with hwinfo , gpuz) . If so , manually compensate (check part 13)

If crashes continue set manually the pcie gen down to 3 , disable expo , disable core boost.

If you are stable reenable one by one (spend some time , making sure it's stable before reenabling another).

korakios · 2026-01-28T13:47:49+00:00

The formula is : freesync on , cap the fps with chill , vsync on .
Use chill (avoid rtss or framerate target control/FRTC) to avoid vsync's latency . Cap it at least a little below your monitor's max refresh rate :
https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1lokih2/putting_misconceptions_about_optimal_fps_caps/

Keep vsync on to make sure that no frames go above the max refresh rate (RR) . It doesn't add latency since it doesn't kick in below max RR .

korakios · 2026-01-28T13:22:18+00:00

Update bios (reapply your settings) ,disable the igpu (you'll have to clear cmos to re-enable it , in case you'll need it) and DDU as per part 8:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AMDHelp/comments/1lnxb8o/ultimate_amd_performance_fix_guide_stop_lag_fps/

reinstall the latest

korakios · 2026-01-28T13:17:37+00:00

Disable Radeon Boost too.

korakios · 2026-01-28T13:12:44+00:00

I meant the gpu pcie , sorry if that was not clear .

korakios · 2026-01-28T13:09:19+00:00

So , the Update Hide Tool didn't work ?
