Just bought my first Nvidia GPU since the 560ti, had AMD ever since, and i loved the 7970, 290x and my current fury. Vega sadly isnt fast enough to justify the "upgrade".
I ordered the 1080ti strix. I have no idea how to overclock one. What are average overclocks and what software do people usually use?
>>61930100
MSI Afterburner same as AMD unless you used WattTool. The 10 series mostly OC like shit though but just set the power target as high as you can.
>>61930106
Does the GPU boost beyond the offset i apply to it?
Why do you need to overclock it? This isn't 2005.
>>61930119
I dont need to, but its free additional performance and i enjoy it. Overclocked my r7 1700x to 3.95GHz too.
>>61930119
>moar performance for free
Why would you NOT overclock

????

I know how to apply an offset and move the slider you dumb shit. I'm asking are there any RAM / core clock ratios these cards like? Does it differ between cards when it comes to stability? How well do they scale with lower temperatures?
>oc on Pascal
lol
Pascal is BIOS locked to 1.09 volts. Every aftermarket 1080 Ti is the same +/-2% performance. Even if the tuning OC tool you're using tells you it's over 1.09, it's not. The card will shut itself off before the VRMs will deliver. You have to both hardmod and BIOS mod to get higher than that. Most I've seen is 2200MHz, not worth it imo when stock gets around 2110MHz.
>>61930168
is 1900-2000 doable without flashing the bios or hardmodding it?
>>61930116
Yes, Boost 3.0 makes your original concept of overclocking more or less useless.
Just undervolt it with the Boost 3.0 curve in Afterburner like pic related, 1911MHz @ 0.95V
>>61930177
>stock gets around 2110MHz.
Yes?.... Ti FTW3 btw.
>>61930190
oh what the shit, i had no idea it would boost that high from the base clock of 1500-1600, i thought it was more like 200 and i had to apply a 200mhz offset to it.
>>61930199
Don't worry, NVidia is doing all the hard thinking for you now. You never have to worry about overclocking yourself again.
>>61930190
>2110MHz
My FE can't go over 2050MHz even under water.
>>61930199
Dunno about custom cards but with stock clocks it will boost somewhere around 1800-1900MHz by default, to hit 2050MHz I had to add a +150MHz offset in Afterburner.
>>61930233
>>2110MHz
>My FE can't go over 2050MHz even under water.
I meant that in terms of stock AIB cards. FE is complete shit garbage, no reason to get it. that's what I mean by "stock". No modifications needed.
>>61930100
can I have your 7970 please?
>>61930248
All the clockspeeds of AIB cards vary so it's hard to claim 'stock' performance.
>FE is complete shit garbage
At least they don't throw on useless shit like DVI, holy fuck why do they still do that. Also I probably just have a bad chip, there's nothing on the FE board limiting the overclock.
>>61930273
>All the clockspeeds of AIB cards vary so it's hard to claim 'stock' performance.
Except they don't. They vary within +/-2% performance even in the same card. 2 of the same Ti FTW 3 cards can perform within 50MHz within each other. This is documented to extend to pretty much every card that isn't thermally throttled. Surprise surprise, the only one seriously thermally throttled is the FE.
>there's nothing on the FE board limiting the overclock.
Maybe it's the blower style cooler meant for retards.
>>61930301
I was talking about various AIB partner cards, there's no 'standard' factory OC for these custom cards.
>Maybe it's the blower style cooler meant for retards.
You seem to have forgotten the 'under water' part.
>>61930308
>I was talking about various AIB partner cards, there's no 'standard' factory OC for these custom cards.
Correct. Just like in the "stock" configuration, all of them can OC above 2000MHz.
