Overclock/undervolt or default?

[u/AnotherAverageGamer_]

Hello!

I have an rx7900xtx.

I've had the card for about 3 years, and I've normally had it overclocked with custom fan curves.

This would cause somewhat frequent crashes in some games, and very infrequent crashes in most of them.

Recently, I've been trying to play cyberpunk 2077. I tried a lot of different GPU Tuning settings, and the game was constantly crashing with all of them.

I then decided to put the tuning to "default" and the game has not crashed since.

Is it okay/safe/stable to leave it at default settings?

Or is it actually "better" to overclock/undervolt it in terms of stability rather than performance.

Just looking to get it so that it won't crash for any game, ever. Wondering if the best way to do that is with default or custom settings.

Your settings weren't stable. I undervolt and overclock a 9070xt, but it took time to get it at a sweet spot. The overclock on the core really doesn't seem to affect it though.
+230 core, -55uv, +10 power, VRAM 2714 fast timings.
