my 7900xtx’s memory won’t clock up from 96mhz, massively degrading gpu performance.

only thing that’s worked has been lowering the monitor refresh rate

feeling pretty stuck with where to report this or what to do for a possible long term solution
has any one else encountered or solved this issue?

here is the output of my inxi -Faz
