just for a base line. with std factory settings my TUF RTX3070 pulls 280 watts for hours and struggles to hit 65c. I never realized other cards went over 65 until now. I can't wait to see how it runs after undervolting. maybe the cooling fans will never turn on.

[@ethang8794]

Thanks for the tutorial. Just wondering do you have to run MSI afterburner to keep the settings?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Yes, but you can set it to autostart and run minimized

[@knben]

Holy cow! Thanks man, I used the first config you showed and my temps dropped by 10°C, while also gaining a bit of FPS. This is huge!

[@ImWateringPSUs]

My pleasure! :) Chances are I have a tutorial on my channel for your CPU too!

[@BlueCombPL]

This guide is a total-fatal BS. You MUST NOT lower the frequency curve below factory one - otherwise, you're in fact OVERVOLTING your GPU.

[@knben]

What do you mean? Correct me if I'm wrong but GPUs use more voltage coming out of the factory than they actually need in order to ensure stability under all circumstances, especially heavy loads. Undervolting it decreases the heat output thus increasing the card's lifetime. If you are careful, you are not compromising system stability, only reducing heat.

[@BlueCombPL]

​@@knben that's right, but to do that, you should shift your WHOLE clock speed curve to the left. In Afterburner you can't do that, so it should be moved upwards, to make GPU run higher frequencies at desired voltages OR desired clock speed at lower voltages - that's essentialy the same. If you do this as shown, it will maintain that speed and voltages, but ONLY in that one point. If GPU hits power limit it will perform worse than in factory settings and will be less efficient. So, you should move your curve upwards and than flatten it at your desired clock speed. That's almost perfect way. I recently undervolted my 1070 to 750 mV @ 1620 MHz (+200 MHz above stock) and dropped 1/3 of its factory wattage (from 150 to 100 watts), losing only 5% of its performance.

[@yugi9710]

Hey, just a question, why do you start with -200mhz on the core clock ? In laptops you bring it all the way down to -300, and some other tutorials dont even do that. Just want to understand this step. Thanks

[@ImWateringPSUs]

It depends on how high the delta in the idle-to-load jump is. It is card dependent, so it will be different on laptops or certain GPUs :)

[@xsni]

1:44 I don't understand why you should lock the frequency. The card consumes significantly more power when idle if the frequency is locked. Are you more prone to problems or crashes with the frequency unlocked?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Locking it does increase the 1% lows while transitioning scenes/loading stuff, but if you're running the profile even with the PC on idle then I recommend not locking it!

So I have a Gigabyte Geforce RTX 3070 ti gaming OC 8GB, on Heave benchmark under full load it was 74 to 75 degrees, and it was switching constantly between 1920mhz and 1905mhz, after I applied profile 2 850/1800, it runs great on full load its max 61 degrees, it never crashed so far and it consumes 100w+ less power, I did not add the +1000 on memory clock which is fine for me, I lost only 5 FPS in games, I tested on cyberpunk and RDR2 and losing only 5fps which I never needed anyway in casual gaming is so good for this temperatures, the fans are less loud now.

Man, thank you so much for your amazing video! It really helps a lot for me who is still wanting to build a new PC using RTX 3070 Ti but don't understand how to undervolt and overclock it. RTX 3070 Ti is one of the most power-inefficient card in RTX 30 series which draws much more power than the RTX 3070 with not much increase in the performance, and just slightly lower power draw than the 3080 but 3080 has a bigger memory and core clock and also much faster than 3070 Ti. So, undervolting and overclocking at the same time would be perfect for the 3070 Ti. In my country, the price has dropped drastically and it's practically on par with the 3070.

[@conangoinham]

Glad this has worked for you + others. I have the exact same GPU & CPU as you and I'd previously used the MSI automatic OC feature to generate a more aggressive curve. I reset MSI to default from my custom profile and dialed in the basic adjustment (1900mhz @ 900mV) with +1000 mem clock and ended up losing 5-6 fps. The benchmark was at least stable so I thought I'd try your 2nd approach with adjustments to the core clock at multiple voltage points. On retry, the benchmark kept crashing. If cooling was a concern for others, I could 100% see this being a practical help. However, It may be worth just letting MSI do it's thing with the auto curve generation (takes 10-15 mins) and then compare the two. Thanks for the tips and if nothing else helps reassure that I'm getting optimal performance from my card... which is always the end goal :)

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Well you’re effectively comparing an overclock to an undervolt in a position where your goal clearly is absolute performance and you’re not looking to improve your temperatures and/or reduce your power consumption. If that’s your goal, you should look to overclock, not to undervolt! And for that I have a dedicated tutorial on my channel, made with the same build, in which I detail how to manually overclock your card in case you’d like to get a bit more than the automatic curve out of it!

Well, you need it at least minimized. Afterburner has the option built in to launch at startup and to start minimized! If you just apply it and closed, the settings will be lost upon restart unfortunately

[@ArgStyleRlz]

@@ImWateringPSUs good to know, would you suggest to drop down the power slider about 10-15% on top of the undervolt or would that be to much?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

@@ArgStyleRlz Oh no I would max the power slider! The voltage is gonna limit your power, no need to throttle the card in other ways!

[@taylortyler999]

I have the Gigabyte 3070ti. I have the core clock set to +120 and the memory clock set to +800. I'm scared to undervolt, but since the temperature is still holding at 62°C while it's at 97% capacity, is it really necessary in my case? Lower voltage is basically to do more at lower temperatures? I'm not tech savvy, so I'm just curious.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

First of all, I wanna say that undervolting is completely safe and so you should try it out just to see if you like, since there are no downsides! The idea of UV is to lower power consumption and temperatures while keeping the same performance!

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Hi there, to lower the idle temperature, do not hit the "L" key when applying the settings! You do need Aftrburner to start with windows and run minimized!

[@REDMVGE]

I saw my card reach 80+C (the first time ever since I bought it years ago), so I decided to give this a go. So far, while having the same frames, I peaked at 64C instead. Rather substantial difference if I may say so, will monitor this further but for now: Thank you, this is great! Question though, when you say that it could usually get away with 1925 @ 900mV, does that take into account the 15mhz jumps due to boosting? Meaning it'd sit at 1940 occasionally. Or should I set it to 1910 instead so it peaks at 1925?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

I'm really happy it was helpful! Great question about the 1925, I meant boosting indeed for most card, so setting it to around 1910 would be ideal!

I dont typically leave reviews. I have a Gigabyte RTX3070 and was constantly crashing because of the temperatures it would reach. I've had it for 4 years now. Working in I.T. the first thing that is taught is to do the least invasive/disruptive stuff first. In this case, it was looking up this video. I tested this among 3 games, Strangers of Paradise, Baldur's Gate 3, and Calisto Protocol. All of them were hitting 81-83C (Roughly 178F- 181F). After testing for 3 hours ,roughly an hour per game. The range my GPU would hit is 65C-68C(149F - 155F). No crashes and clearly a noticeably different degree and sound change! Im not for bloatware at all, but in this case; I can't say this is bloatware if it is helping as much as it has. A year old video that has helped me a ton! Edit: Mind you, my GPU and CPU are not set to overclock before or after this video. Very well done.

First of all, thanks a lot for the support! Hitting L really makes just a tiny difference performance wise, so you can definitely leave it off!

However, my card is at 45 degrees on idle which I think is a bit much. Does it matter, can I lock the Voltage at like 850 or will that be bad? I know it may affect consistant FPS you know but it must be different from not locking it at all.

In subnautica I saw barely fps drops usually 1-2 fps difference (so around 78-80fps). In euro truck from average 80fps it was unstable dropping to around 73 fps, fortunately it wasn't that visible in gameplay as in valhalla.. Yet It's still kinda big fps drop. Any idea?

Sorry but I don't get how this can work. How can lower clocks and lower Temps result in higher fps? At the moment I'm using an rtx 3070 ti Asus rog strix and having an oc +150 core and +500 memory. It's definitely faster than stock. Would I get more performance with undervolting or is it just lower Temps?

[@ImWateringPSUs]

Well if you’ve seen the tutorial we’re actually full on overclocking the memory, so that’s the first thing that results in more performance. Then there’s the fact that GPUs are very temperature sensitive, so by running cooler they can usually endure higher clocks, hence delivering more performance! You should try to see what’s the sustained frequency that your card runs at while overclocked and then find the lowest possible voltage for it! Plus, making the curve flat usually improves the 1% lows in competitive games!
