Why is my AMD 9060 XT crashing at 3300 MHz?

Asked By CuriousCoder88 On

I've got an AMD 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM, and I've been experiencing crashes. My GPU's clock speed is averaging around 3300 MHz, and I'm wondering if that's too high. The temperature stays around 63 degrees, so overheating doesn't seem to be the issue. Can someone help me figure out what's going on?

First off, 3300 MHz isn't necessarily too high for your GPU; many RX 9060 XT cards run around 3.1 to 3.32 GHz out of the box. If it's crashing, it might not be the MHz causing the issue but rather a driver timeout or unstable factory overclock. Here are some steps you can take:

1. Check the type of crash in the Event Viewer. Look for Event ID 4101, which indicates a display driver timeout.
2. Try resetting your GPU settings in Adrenalin: go to Performance âž” Tuning âž” Reset, and limit your max frequency to around 3000 MHz while testing.
3. Consider doing a clean driver install using DDU in Safe Mode to eliminate potential driver issues.
4. Make sure you're using a dedicated 8-pin PCIe cable for your GPU because aging power supplies can cause TDRs too.
5. Your temperatures are fine; just ensure your hotspot temperatures are stable as well.

If you've gone through all that and it still crashes, it may be time to look into an RMA.

To add to what GamerGuru said, you mentioned your card is from Gigabyte, right? It’s worth noting that different manufacturers can have slight variations in cooling and power design. Since swapping in your brother's 4060 did the trick without crashes, it really does point to the 9060 XT. Just check every connection thoroughly, and possibly try reseating the card too. Sometimes it's just a matter of a loose connection!

Yeah, it's a Gigabyte model. I'll definitely check the connections again and try reseating it. Thanks for the tip!
