Radeon RX 6500 XT Undervolt & Overclock to 3002 MHz With ElmorLabs EVC2SX | SkatterBencher #41

In today’s video, we overclock the AMD Radeon RX 6500 XT graphics card up to 3002 MHz and gain up to 38% in performance using the ElmorLabs EVC2SX. It is the first time I’m overclocking an AMD graphics card for this channel and the first AMD graphics card I overclock in over ten years. The last AMD GPU I overclocked with serious intent was the Radeon HD 7870 back in 2012. Like my GT 1030 video, my main goal was to get back up to speed on how AMD GPU overclocking works. Unfortunately, the outcome was quite disappointing because of AMD’s overclocking restrictions, which I’ll share in this video.
