ASUS Radeon RX 7900 Series TUF Gaming specifications are now official
ASUS has become the first card partner to fully confirm clock speeds for dedicated Radeon RX 7900 GPUs.
As reported last month, ASUS was the first company to unveil dedicated Radeon RX 7900 GPUs. These TUF gaming cards are based on the 7900 XTX and RX 7900 XT storage units with a custom, chunky 3.6-slot triple fan design and are also equipped with three 8-pin power connectors. ASUS has now confirmed the clock speeds that will apply to each of the four announced models.
The official ASUS specification lists the so-called “default” mode and “OC” mode. The latter is the highest official specification that can be applied via ASUS software called GPU Tweak. For this reason, it should not be considered an “out of the box” specification, but rather the highest validated clock speed that is officially supported and will not affect the warranty.
As a reminder, the Radeon RX 7900 XT’s default gaming clock is 2300MHz and the boost clock goes up to 2500MHz. For the Radeon RX 7900 XT GPU, this is 2000MHz and 2400MHz respectively.

ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XTX OC Edition
- OC mode:
- up to 2615MHz (Boost Clock) + 4.6٪
- up to 2455MHz (game clock) + 6.7٪
- default mode:
- up to 2565MHz (Boost Clock) +2.6٪
- up to 2395MHz (game clock) + 4.1٪
ASUS TUF Gaming Radeon RX 7900 XT OC Edition
- OC mode:
- up to 2535MHz (Boost Clock) + 5.6٪
- up to 2175MHz (game clock) + 8.7٪
- default mode:
- up to 2500MHz (Boost Clock) + 4.1٪
- up to 2130MHz (game clock) + 6.5٪
The OC version of the Radeon RX 7900 XTX TUF Gaming GPU has a default clock of 2565MHz, which is a factory overclock of 2.6% (boost). However, in OC mode, the frequency exceeds AMD specifications by 4.6%. The RX 7900 XT TUF OC, meanwhile, is slightly overclocked. By default, it comes with a clock of 2500MHz, which is 4.1% over spec, while OC mode applies a 5.6% overclock via software.
Gaming clocks are even higher, but with proper cooling, your GPU is more likely to hit its boost clock than its game clock. In general, these performance upgrades are similar to the Radeon RX 6900 XT TUF OC Gaming GPUs, but it’s worth noting that ASUS had the highest-level TUF TOP version with a higher overclock.
