Gigabyte RTX 3060 Ti Gaming OC Pro | 1950Mhz | 0.925 | Saved ~60W | Max. Temp 64 (before 75)

[@Treadston3]

EVGA RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra: Stock was pulling 399W out of the box, topped at 78C on Heaven 4.0 @ 1440p Ultra w/ Extreme Tessellation. After Undervolt: 1965MHz @ 887mv | Max Power Draw: 344W | Max Temp in Heaven 4.0: 67C | Avg Temp: ~65C I'm also running it on a 400MHz underclock on Core Clocks, and +400MHz Memory OC. In games I've been playing as of late, like Ready or Not, GTA V, NBA 2K22, etc; the temps are nowhere near 66, generally hovering around high 50s to 62C. Max Power Draw sits somewhere around the high 200Ws, but peaks at 320-330W. Memory Clock remains steady at 9902 MHz.

[@PatMoffat]

EVGA 3080 xc3 ultra. Currently running 1920mhz @ 856mv. Might try to up the mhz a bit and see how it runs!

[@IIHydraII]

If you press the graph icon in the bottom left of MSI Afterburner, you can see a graph over time for power draw, clocks, fan %, temp etc. More reliable than eyeballing it. Also, you don't use the "start with windows" option, you select the profile you want to be applied on startup, then select the windows icon in the top right of the screen. Afterburner will start up, apply the changes, then close itself on windows startup. Just means 1 less program consuming system resources. :)

One of the best HOW-TO videos I have seen... most how to videos like to assume the watcher knows certain things already... you did an amazing job explaining in great detail everything you were doing... it takes 3 times as long... but the amount learned to the audience is unparalleled... Thank you!

Your feedback means a lot thank you!

[@lvpack5022]

My RTX 3060 was running hot out of the box (about 78c under full load). I followed your tutorial and lowered the temp. down to 65c without sacrificing any measurable performance. Power consumption is now lower and the fans don't sound like a 747 getting ready to take off anymore. I went through numerous KZbin videos, and yours was the most informative, well explained and easy to follow.

[@iikatinggangsengii2471]

depends i guess, for low power cards i think its better to just find max clocks at default voltage

[@Piotr_Majchrzak]

@@iikatinggangsengii2471 That's what I wanted to say. For power monsters UV is a must, but for cards like 3060, maxing out the clocks is better option. I got my boost clock from 1852 to 2077MHz and memory clock 1875 -> 2130MHz for a cost of 17W more power (170 -> 187W) on TUF 3060. It got about 12% more score in benchmarks. With not so powerful chips that few fps more could make a difference.

Tech Power Up's GPU-Z software keeps track of maximums as well. You just need to click the drop-down of the stat you want to know the peak of and select "Show Highest Reading". If you are testing different voltages, just hit the reset button after stopping Heaven and you'll get new max numbers when you start Heaven again.

[@TheZoenGaming]

Just remembered another tip: Don't use Heaven to stress test modern GPUs, i.e. 20xx series and later (AMD RX 580). When I bought my 2080 I used Heaven to stress it the same as I did with my 970. I was able to apply a significant undervolt to my card and it never crashed running Heaven. When playing a DX12 game for about 30 minutes, however, my system would crash. Crashes occasionally occurred while watching KZbin as well. This is because Heaven only uses DX11 and doesn't make use of all the parts of modern GPU processors. Use the Superposition Benchmark (8K Optimized setting) instead. I started that up and my system crashed after 20 seconds. I was able find a stable undervolt using it that didn't cause problems in modern games.

[@BboyCorrosive]

a slightly more natural way of doing the curve before the plateau I saw recently, was to find your best overclock, for example +115 on my 2080, then you hold shift and drag in from the right, stopping at the voltage you want, then let go of shift and drag that voltage block below everything else, tick apply and it does basically the same thing but with a more natural curve leading up to your max voltage, but with a more gradual curve leading up to it. effectively you're focusing more on what voltage you want with the clock second, instead of the clock first and trying to run that clock at a voltage that may have less stability. Apparently a better benchmark to use these days is 'superposition'

Great guide, I have an MSI Gaming Z Trio 3080 and out the box it was hitting 82c, drawing 360 watts and thermal throttling, very quiet card but obvious headroom there. Put a custom fan profile in and undervotled and now its stable 1950mhz hitting 67c max and drawing under 300 watts. Can't believe card manufacturers don't do this out of the box but I suppose it's an impossible task with silicon differences.

[@alfredoalejandro87]

Thank you for such a great guide! I recently upgraded to a EVGA RTX 3080Ti FTW3 Hybrid gaming card, and I found the default voltages to be a little too much for the hybrid AIO cooler. I don't think the stock EVGA Hybrid is enough to keep the RTX 3080Ti cool under full load, was easily seeing temps up to the upper 60Cs with default fan speed going up to 72%. After trying your method, I went from a stock voltage of around 1.062mv (around 1935mhz) at full load to a nice undervolt down to 0.850mv 1920mhz. After leaving unigine running at 4K for 30 minutes before the temps would max out at around 68C with the radiator fans (changed to Noctua AF12s) at around 70% level. Now I have applied a much more silent fan curve and max out at 63C with fan speed around 52% so its a massive difference!

[@WiLcreatives]

That’s incredible glad I was able to help!

[@Freddatos]

I undervolted my card to lower the coilwhine and it really helped. Ran it through Unigine Heaven 1080P Extreme settings. I'm using the ASUS 3080 Strix OC card and my stock was this: Stock: GPU Clock 1935mhz Core Voltage 1.075 Fanspeed 1840RPM GPU Power 350W GPU Temp 68C Benchmark Score/FPS 4534, 180 With undervolt: GPU Clock 1860mhz Core Voltage 0.875 Fanspeed 1440RPM GPU Power 250W (isch) GPU Temp 61-62C Benchmark Score/FPS 4387, 174,2 Now there is still some coilwhine but it is very very silent. I didn't try to undervolt more to the point of a crash. I'm happy where it is now. Thanks alot for the help!

[@jasonparker1454]

i like to have 2 profiles - 1 for regular work and gaming where its all about silence and energy saving and its fine for me to loose there even up to 5-6% of the regular performance. and the second profile is to get the absolute max out performance of the card if i do high usage rendering or feel the need to get the absolute FPS max in a specific game. 95% of the time i will use the first profile to save as much energy as possible.

[@groundhoppingwlkp3622]

86C for GPU is pretty hot :o I would even check slighly lower gpu clock (around 1900) and even lower voltage (0,850V for example) to get lower thermals. Higher fps on lower voltages (and temps too) means you had thermal throttling on gpu on the stock settings. BTW - what case you have? Maybe airflow is quite bad?

[@jeffreybenson8910]

@@groundhoppingwlkp3622 these cards run really hot! The thermal pads are junk and many times not mounted exactly where they're supposed to be. I've done a pad swap on my 3070 and would've done it on the 3080 but I got it cool enough with undervolting. My case and airflow are very good. I've got a lot of experience dealing with heat dissipation. Running my gpu at 1995 drops the temps down to 80, and I'm still getting about 130fps on Assetto Corsa with about all settings on ultra.

However I did manage to tune it to get about 4 degrees cooler than stock while running about 4 FPS above stock. Best of both worlds.

This works wonders. My msi 3080ti was running 60° idle an would reach 82° when playing. Undervolting it to 900mv at 1950clockspeed has worked amazingly. My idle is 44 and under full load it is normally in the 60s to low 70

[@kr3w3rkr3w8]

my 3080 ti strix OC is 40c idle and 60 -65c full load. No undervolt and 1950mhz auto boost clock 😅

[@ineffable2100]

@@kr3w3rkr3w8 yea my pc is placed in a really poor airflow place. But after undervolting an adjusting the fan speeds accordingly. Its 38 idle and never past 64 under load. Also the 1950 clockspeed is what its set too but it rarely stays on it. I find it at around around 2000 more often than not.

[@martythestines]

I already know how to undervolt my GPU. But I wish I would've seen this video when I first wanted to learn how. This has been the most comprehensible video, I've seen on the topic. My 3080TI FE was running super hot. I actually got similar results as you. 1950 at 925Mv with 73C down to 64C with fans at 70%. My memory dropped from 91C down to 77C. And a power draw of 330 watts. All with the exact same performance. I'm still gonna replace the pads and paste here after 6 months of having the card. Got it for the price of a non-TI thanks to Best Buy, so I plan on waiting til 50 series at least. I got some coming in a couple days. And I need to cut a whole under my GPU to have a fan blow cool air up to the heat sink. (I like this smaller Cooler Master MB311L case too much to replace it.)

I bought a used 3060 ti. I'm sure it was mined on. Of course after 6 or so months it started getting hot and acting up. I undervolt it and it fixed it automatically. But I saw a few things youve done differently. So I'm gonna go back I Believe there's a little more I can squeeze out of it. Thanks for the great video

[@chrongaming5206]

Rocking 987mv @ 2015mhz. Increased my performance quite a bit while lowering power usage and temps! I can do almost 2170mhz at max voltage but I would much rather have the lower temps and power usage so my card lasts! Im using the EVGA FTW3 Ultra Gaming 3080ti with an EK Quantum Vector Waterblock. I recommend to first find your max core clock with max voltage and then try and find a sweet spot under that where you can run lower voltage while still overclocking the card. Undervolted and Overclocked is the way to go!

Thank you for this video. Can someone please explain exactly why core clock must be lowered -250 before undervolting? Is it not possible to simply find 950 dot on curve then pull it up to 1920mhz? Where does this -250 value come from? How is it calculated? I just want to understand, thank you :D

[@valfar9999]

Yeah I was wondering as well

[@jivadaya6439]

@@valfar9999 I went ahead and selected .900 mV at 1875mhz without underclocking and it is working great. Lower temps and solid fps without tripping the Operational Voltage limit or Power limit as before. I'm impressed by gpu's capability to overclock itself but unnecessary for my (mostly) 1080p gaming :D

[@johann09]

Just a baseline. He probably chose -250 MHz because ROG Strix cards boost quite a lot, I decided to go with -200 MHz because my card isn't a top tier model and it doesn't boost quite as much due to power limit.

[@valfar9999]

@@jivadaya6439 Yeah I managed to get 1995mhz for 950mv on my 3080 TI and it is stable on the time spy extreme stress test but unfortunately it crashes on Cyberpunk so I pushed it to 975mv. I should lower my core clock as 1995mhz is way above the stock core clock of this GPU. But yeah, regarding the temps it's crazy how much it improved, I'm running Valhalla on 4k ultra at 70°C with my fans running at 85-90%

[@robr640]

From my limited experience it is to make sure the point you set is the highest point on the VF curve. If there is a higher point on the VF curve the GPU will still draw stock voltage & boost up to those higher points.

[@WiLcreatives]

Awesome numbers!

[@Noz135]

Great guide! I'd make note of trying to run ray tracing benchmarks when undervolting as well, such as 3Dmark Port Royal along with heaven, I've found at least with my personal 3080 that while one undervolt may be perfectly stable and functional without ray tracing enabled, it would still be unable to complete a port royal run without erroring out/crashing, would just need to up the voltage by steps until stability is reached :) Heaven is great for stability testing apart from ray tracing. I'd done an undervolt a couple days back on my newly installed EVGA FTW3 Ultra 12GB 3080 I'd received recently, managed to drop wattage from 400-420W down to 280W under load, 15-20 degrees cooler, 500-600RPM fan reduction even with auto fans, less coil whine, and lost 3-5FPS since i dropped my clock speed slightly. Still hit my 100HZ refresh rate/frame cap on most of my titles at 3440x1440 so it's a win/win/win :)

What you ended up undervolting too? I have a 3080 12G as well. I went with 800mV 1900MHZ. Warzone I'm getting temps 53c to 59c. No cap my room be like 75 degrees. Playing warzone for like 4 hours. Temps stay in that range. I have my FPS cap at 200 (which is phenomenal for me). I know this might not be the best but I'm a noob.

[@ashryver3605]

Amazing guide Lots of undervolt guides are short and simple, which is fine I guess because there's like 2/3 wahs to do it and all are kinda okay and simple but for someone who never did it before a step by step is far more preferred. The way I got taught was a mix of overclocking and minor undervolting, by finding my stable OC without adjusting voltage (ie. +110/+1000) and then from there deciding what voltage to limit to - ie. Reset, apply max limits etc, add +110 globally, then at for me, say, lock 1.031 @ 2040mhz vs letting it go crazy 0.9-1.062. Minor undervolting and more tweaking (having to stabilise by adding the stages prior to this setting with a more smooth curve ie. The entirety of 2025 spans 1012-1027 volts) but a higher overclock; and downclocking doesn't reduce it far below stock base clock (stock I noticed if throttle it would go to 1825ish, +110 global meant lowest downclock was 1920ish). Hard to tell what's the best, I guess there's that pursuit of the best middle ground. I'd gladly take 2000mhz instead of 1925/1950, for something like 975/1000volts just cus 2000mhz feels a lot nicer to have. Though since the 20XX line, undervolting exclusively maintaining the boost clock and letting the card decide to add that extra 25mhz as you saw, because it ran cool, is the way to go. Cooler, less noise, less power, tiny boost step improvement. Overclocking my 2070super to +110/+1000 was only 6-8 fps diff. In 3DMark anyway lol.
