AMD beats GPU frequency world record with Radeon RX 9060 XT hitting 4.769 GHz

AMD hits nearly 4.77 GHz on RX 9060 XT

AMD has published a new video featuring overclockers Bill Alverson “Sampson” and Splave, where the group says it beat the world record for GPU frequency by reaching 4.769 GHz on a Radeon RX 9060 XT. The video also states the “current world record” targets they wanted to beat were 4020 MHz for a discrete GPU and 4.25 GHz for an integrated GPU.

AMD’s own RX 9060 XT specifications list a 2.53 GHz game clock and up to 3.13 GHz boost clock for both 8 GB and 16 GB models. That makes the claimed 4.769 GHz about 52% above the rated boost clock.

The clip does not appear to include a full settings breakdown, such as voltage, temperature, power limits, or what workload was used to log the peak frequency. However, we can see they used exotic cooling method, probably liquid nitrogen, and some kind of AMD internal GPU tool to change clocks:

One complication is that there is no single official “GPU frequency world record” leaderboard. The closest commonly referenced tracker is the SkatterBencher “GPU Overclocking World Record History” page, which aggregates records and documents the methodology used to count them.

On that tracker, the prior discrete-GPU mark is listed as 4020 MHz set on a GeForce RTX 4090, and the integrated-GPU mark is listed at 4.25 GHz from Computex 2025. If AMD’s 4.769 GHz result can be reproduced under the same kind of “measured while active” rules, it would exceed both of the figures cited in AMD’s video.

Just a small note, AMD did not even announce this world record, I found it by chance browsing YouTube. In fact, the AMD Radeon social media account hasn’t posted anything on X/Twitter for nearly a month.
