Rage Mode is an automatic overclocking feature developed solely for RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT GPUs.

AMD launched its latest GPU series known as AMD RX 6000, comprising of two innovative components that enhanced performance in comparison to competitor products. These components, named Smart Access Memory (SAM) and Fierce Mode, were introduced by Lisa Su.

SAM is a unique feature linked to RX 6000 GPUs and Ryzen 5000 CPUs, while Rage Mode is a characteristic for only the RX 6800 XT and RX 6900 XT.

How Rage Mode Works

The term Rage Mode is a callback to one of the initial GPUs released by AMD (then known as ATI). In 1996, Rage GPUs were among the most powerful, hence AMD referencing that kind of performance boost with the contemporary feature and new SKUs.

Fury Mode is a software tuning profile that automatically enhances the GPU and increases the fan curve. This won’t provide significant improvement, but even a 3% performance boost can make a valuable difference.

This might not seem like much, but, considering NVIDIA doesn’t even have built-in manual overclocking, let alone an automatic one, it is a benefit.

We hope that, at some point in the future, NVIDIA will remove some of the less advantageous features of the GeForce Experience application and implement more essential settings/features, including manual overclocking.

How To Enable Rage Mode

AMD Radeon Software

To maximize the performance of your RX 6800 XT or RX 6900 XT, you must utilize the AMD Radeon Software.

This can be started either from the Windows taskbar (the minuscule red icon) or by right-clicking on your desktop and selecting the first option.

After opening Radeon Software, click the Performance tab above and select Tuning.

This is the overclocking section of the software. All you need to do is select the Rage Mode tuning profile, and you can savor the enhanced performance boost.

Keep in mind that the speed increase you get from this tuning profile relies completely on the type of your GPU. Various GPU models will provide a different automatic overclock.
