Artifacts & crashes when using fast timing on AMD card

[𝔗𝔥𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔲𝔰 𝔄𝔠𝔱𝔲𝔞𝔩𝔦𝔰]

Is it normal that enabling fast timing in driver settings casues terrible visual artifacts(basically turns entire image into a distorted mess) and eventually crashes any game on RX6600?S.A.M.(ReBAR) is enabled btw

It tightens the VRAM memory timings. It's most likely only meant for higher end GPUs.

There is an element of silicone lottery with every GPU. Some can do higher clock speeds, tighter timings, etc. As long as it doesn't give you artifacts or crashes at the default settings, I wouldn't worry about it.

You'd probably see better results using something like MSI Afterburner and simply attempt a OC on both Core and Memory of your GPU. Little by little and do test after each change and see where that line in the sand is for your GPU; where you not only getting some higher FPS at the same game/benchmark settings, but also OS + App stability as well. You will also need to monitor GPU Temps to see if that gets affected as well.

You don't need MSI Afterburner or any of that extra Software, you can do it already Overclock directly in AMD Adrenalin Drivers. Less software, less problems.

Yes that's fine too. But does it allow you to manually configure the GPU fan curve in that AMD software?

AMD Adrenalin Drivers you can do all of that stuff already. It's build-in into the Driver. Overlock/Underclock GPU Memory, Overclock/Underclock GPU Clock Speed, Undervolt/More voltage, Power Limit, Adjust Custom Fan Curve, etc.

On default it runs normally so far.Same with extreme OC(+300mhz core +150mhz VRAM)

It does,but Afterburner seems to put it's settings over Adrenalin.I've tried setting max fan speed to 40% cuz my gigabyte eagle 6600 is insanely loud when all 3 fans go over 50% and it didn't work at all

I remember back when we had AMD Overdrive I think it was; there was a setting you had to enable in there to disable OC'ing. Only doing that would allow other apps like MSI AB to work properly; this way making it so users couldn't have conflicting settings in the two apps and thus fighting each other.

In MSI AB you have to untick the Auto box first. Then change the fan speed.
It's not good to lock in a single fan % though but rather edit the entire fan curve. Then save changes to a Profile #, apply the changes, then enable these settings in MSI AB:
> Start with Windows
> Minimize on startup
> Enable OC at Startup
