I upgraded from Debian Bookworm (Stable), which has kernel 6.1, to Debian Trixie (Testing), which has kernel 6.4. Until then, I couldn’t overclock my GPU’s VRAM beyond 1750 MHz. With kernel 6.4, I can overclock it as far as AMD will allow - 1860 MHz. If my 5600 XT hadn’t been locked down by AMD, I’d be able to go further than 1820 MHZ on the GPU and 1860 on the VRAM.

    Interesting… I overclocked my vram following the Arch guide and it drastically improved GPU performance in games.

      So far, I’ve really only tested my VRAM overclock in the Nova: Covert Ops, but I’ve noticed that the cutscenes run a lot smoother. Before, there were a few that were a bit choppy, but now, they’re buttery-smooth!
