Check your profile settings for your configuration. Consider lowering your CPU voltage and explore additional optimization options.

Reducing the GPU voltage also works well on AMD graphics cards.

sure, do you have Adrenaline? Don't know if these are very good videos, I think the first one is decent but not sure about the second one. If they are both terrible search up 'How to undervolt AMD GPU' or 'How to undervolt Intel CPU'.

Check out the JayZ2Cents channel. It has content about AMD GPUs and likely some Intel CPU videos as well. My point is, why bother with overclocking when stock configurations already work? Your hardware should handle it fine.

Why not get more performance? It makes sense to do so. We were also discussing undervolting.

I appreciated the first video you mentioned, 2400 MHz and 1100 mV. The Superposition score was low compared to the default settings—9890—and only a 10W reduction was observed. When I adjusted it to 2441 and 1090, no power savings appeared but my score improved to 10102. According to the Aussie's results, my XFX Speedster Merc 319 6800 XT seems significantly better than what he has. I’m unsure how to boost that score further while cutting power use. The only issue was a crash during benchmark runs when switching screens in modified settings. I lowered it to 1050 mV and increased the frequency to 2520 MHz, but power consumption stayed nearly the same. I need to return to work and experiment with settings again. My goal is to enhance performance while reducing energy use. What’s the difference between overclocking and increasing frequency?

I haven't viewed the video yet, but from the screenshots I’m curious about the reasoning behind the low rating. The leaderboard displays 6900XT and Ryzen 7 entries, while my setup uses a 6800XT on an Intel platform. That makes direct comparison tricky. Have you run several iterations of those tests? I’m unsure how much variation exists between results, so it’s hard to judge the significance of numbers like 9899 versus 9890. 9890 versus 10102 is noticeable, but it would be nice to see how much the run-to-run differences vary. It’s rare to find a situation where everything goes perfectly—usually there’s always some trade-off. While you might get lucky with hardware selection, I’d suggest prioritizing stable performance with lower power use, or aiming for higher performance if cooling and voltage are manageable. Only under those conditions would you see both better results and reduced energy consumption, based on how modern GPUs handle thermal and power constraints.

Superposition only affects the GPU, leaving the CPU out of the picture. The highest two ratings are from a 6800, and the best one is a 10th gen Intel. No, I didn’t have time. As noted, I’m unfamiliar with undervolting. Also, I’ve never done an overclock. Observing the changes, it looked like higher frequency was driving up wattage, so thanks.

They don't seem to be using all three models simultaneously. The list appears to group similar hardware together, suggesting the tools couldn't differentiate between them. It's likely the entries were mostly 6900XT, which aligns with the performance ratings you mentioned.
