AMD's Radeon RX 9070 GRE has officially reached a frequency of 3.9 GHz through a custom DirectX 9 workload. TechPowerUp forum user ShrimpBrime developed specialized tools, including R-Team OC and a GPU Frequency Generator, to achieve this milestone. Using a stock XFX Radeon RX 9070 GRE Swift GPU without hardware modifications, the overclock was stable under a synthetic load of 4,194,304 triangles per frame.
While the driver crashed shortly after screenshots were taken, the developer confirmed the reading was maintained under load rather than a momentary spike. Approximately 3.85 GHz was reproduced repeatedly, even using AMD's own Radeon Software controls. Verification was performed by comparing GPU-Z, HWiNFO64, and telemetry from AMD's ADL/ADLX interfaces.
However, this is a proof-of-concept experiment and not indicative of real-world gaming performance. The GFXCLK reading is driver-provided and may not reflect actual effective clock speeds, serving instead as a playground to explore the limits of RDNA 4 architecture.
