AMD Ryzen 7000’s Onboard Graphics Has Been Overclocked To 3.1GHz

From the makers of 9GHz Core i9 world record – this time it’s the onboard GPU that gets cranked to its limits.

The latest AMD Ryzen 7000 series desktop CPUs marks the first ever Ryzen to support onboard graphics, which can be helpful in cases where no discrete GPU is available to run the system, or to perform video-related diagnostics. While it can output displays, that’s pretty much all it can do – gaming is simply not feasible given its very bare-bones specs even compared to laptop APUs. Still, that hasn’t stopped Skatterbencher (part of the team who broke the 9GHz XOC world record) from trying to push its limits.

Unlike the Radeon 680M seen in laptops, which are fairly capable onboard GPUs which can run some games at pretty decent graphics or framerates – the onboard Radeon Graphics on these CPUs only have 2 CUs as opposed to 12 on the 680M, so that gives you an idea of how little performance can be had here. That being said, the stock Radeon Graphics can clock up to 2200MHz on both of its compute units.

The CPU in question, the Ryzen 9 7900 is paired with GIGABYTE B650E AORUS Tachyon motherboard which delivered a mere 12 FPS on Tomb Raider and 58 FPS in CS:GO. Enabling EXPO brought the numbers up by 12%, indicating a memory bottleneck. By overclocking through Graphics Curve Optimizer, the onboard GPU gets pushed up to astoundingly fast 3.1GHz, which presents a massive 40% increase from its stock clockspeeds.

The result? 42% higher performance, with CS:GO reaching 80 FPS (+38%) and while Tomb Raider is still at an unplayable 17 FPS – it is in fact getting 42% more frames as well. Skatterbencher even pointed out a surprising fact – overclocking this little onboard GPU is in fact, “miles better” than anything on discrete graphics (which often have restrictions preventing further overclocks). It is worth pointing out though, after all this ordeal, the power draw is up to 60.6W (GPU+SoC) from its stock figures at 38.5W of power.

Pokdepinion: It’s insane in this day and age to see anything that can be overclocked by 40%, this is the figure you’ll only see in probably two decades ago!
