Radeon RX 7900 GRE users are pointing out that AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 24.3.1, a new driver package that AMD released last week with support for some of the latest releases, such as Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition, includes a change that effectively unlocks the memory overclocking potential of the “new” RDNA 3 graphics card, allowing users to squeeze more performance out of it. Owners of PowerColor’s Radeon RX 7900 GRE Hellhound, in particular, can now push the overclocking slider up to 3,000 MHz now, according to coverage online.
Radeon RX 7900 GRE Hellhound changes:
- Before: 2,316 MHz
- After: 3,000 MHz

TPU noted:
This doesn’t necessarily mean that the memory will overclock all the way up to 24 Gbps, you’re still limited by what the GDDR6 chips are capable of…but with the new drivers, we scored a spectacular 2604 MHz (20 Gbps), which beats the 19.5 Gbps speed that the RX 7800 XT ships with. …It remains a mystery why AMD chose to go with a slower memory sub-system than the RX 7800 XT for the RX 7900 GRE.
