If you have one of AMD's Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards and are waiting for the RTX 4090, we may have some good news for you. The new third-party utility software claims to offer big performance boosts for RDNA 2 GPUs, enough to potentially outperform Nvidia's current-gen flagship, the RTX 3090 Ti, and all without the exorbitant price tags that come with it. they are now attached to Team Green cards.
"Radeon Monster Profile" (RMP) comes from coder and overclocking enthusiast Yuri Bubliy, who claims to have created utility software that delicately alters the voltage and frequency curves of RDNA 2 cards to improve performance.
Bubliy is well known in the hardware enthusiast camp, having previously created AMD-focused software for component monitoring and overclocking (in particular, their HYDRA software for Ryzen processors, of which RMP is a utility extension) . RMP is his latest work and will be available at the end of 2022.
In a post on Twitter detailing some details, Bubliy explains that RMP allows RX 6000 boards to reach their "full potential", with particular attention paid to areas such as the VRAM subsystem, where a reduction in operating voltage has allowed generation to be reduced. of heat to keep the board as a whole within a safe temperature range.
Fall projects.

Analysis: It's impressive, but let's not get too excited just yet.
Bubily claims that the Radeon Monster Profile can boost the performance of the RX 6800 XT by over 13% without thermal throttling issues, making this card slightly outperform an RTX 3090 Ti on standard settings, also with a significantly lower energy. It's a huge performance jump, but as always, we'd be wary of using third-party software to tweak your GPU.
It's also important to note that the performance figures provided come from the 3DMark Time Spy GPU test, a synthetic benchmark often used to measure graphics performance. We don't know what other components Bubliy used for testing, nor do we know how well this overclocked RX 6800 XT performs in real-world gaming and rendering tests.
Using third-party software to tweak your GPU, especially in a way as aggressive as this, can also potentially void your warranty, so be careful if you choose to try RMP when it launches. AMD has its own software, Radeon Adrenalin, to tune your GPU, which may be a safer bet. You can also check out our guide to overclocking your GPU.
Still, we're pretty intrigued by RMP, as it represents a way for RDNA 2 GPU owners to close the performance gap a bit once RDNA 3 arrives later this year. Sure, the RX 6800 XT isn't one of the best graphics cards out there, but if RMP can safely improve its performance, it will become a much more reasonable GPU option.
