Consider supporting the channel by using my Amazon affiliate link - https://amzn.to/3Xixqg0 About 8 months after it released, AMD unlocked the ability for users to overclock the VRAM on their RX 7900GRE's and some outlets here on YouTube claimed getting performance gains upward of 10% by doing it. I planned to make this video months ago, but my real job forced me to put this video on the back burner. Now that I've been able to get to it, in this video I take you along for the ride as I overclock my 7900GRE and test it in 5 different VR games, namely Lone Echo 2, Ghosts of Tabor, Into the Radius, Assetto Corsa Competizione and Microsoft Flight Simulator. While I haven't had much success with overclocking in the past, a performance bump of 10% in VR could mean the difference in running a game at 72Hz and 80Hz, or 80Hz and 90Hz or being able to increase the render resolution or other in game settings, so I had to give it a try.
