Undervolt your RTX 4080 Super for more FPS and Lower Temperature! - Tutorial

Undervolting really seems to be the best option in terms of GPU optimization for the RTX 4000 series. Be it a 4090, 4080, 4070 Ti or even a 4060 Ti, I’d still recommend doing it. If you do it properly, you’re gonna lose virtually 0 performance or even get an increase, while dramatically reducing heat and power consumption.
Today we are featuring the newly release RTX 4080 Super 16GB in the MSI Ventus 3X Model, but the tutorial will work for any RTX 4080 Super,, no matter the brand and for the RTX 4070 Ti Super as well!

straight to the point, no bs, no unnecessary talking to make the videos longer, just a tutorial with helpful extra information. already looked into 2-3 videos, the 5800x3d UV for example. i used PBT tuner which gave me better fps and lower temps, but way worse %1 lows. after your tutorial i dropped 5-10fps overall but gained about 50fps 1% low. i hope u will blow up on youtube and get the recognization u deserve. amico mio, grazie!

[@karlos1060]

I tried the settings you told me and it works nice for me! I even can set my powerlimit to 110% if i want(Asus tuf card) but i leave it at 100% as i undervolted it. I am running 3d mark and going to use heaven to see if it is stable. But the power decrease is huge. Now it is just hitting 200 watts with max 220 watt instead of max 320 watt and around 285 to 300 under load. And the penalty is about 6% less performance. But the system is really very quiet and stay very cool. I also undervolted my I7-14700KF a little wich also helps my temp without performance loss but also not really a lot of gain but still about 7c cooler on load wich is perfect!

[@theobserver9479]

What I have sought is to try to maintain the same clock frequency but lowering the consumption and temperatures to the most optimal point and trying to gain a little performance by increasing the memory, this has been my modification and my approximate results. Clock 2775mhz, memory +1000mhz and 950mv. I have dropped from 68° to 64° and from 320w to 280w. In very demanding games (Alan Wake 2) I have gained 3 fps and in less demanding games (Warframe) 12 fps, always taking into account the variability of each game of course, and playing at 2160p with all graphic settings active and at maximum. Surely I could still adjust something more, but I don't want to force it any further, I am more than satisfied with this result. Thanks for the tutorial, it was quick and concise 👌 Edit: I also set up a ventilation curve following another of your videos. I had a curve that initially left the fans at 15% and increased to 30% from 45° onwards, but in your video you recommended, if I'm not mistaken, not to leave them below 30% while they were active. In this case I maintain 30% up to 50 degrees, once it reaches 50 degrees it increases to 50% up to 80°, from 80° it increases to 80% up to 90° and from 90° to 100%. Since it never exceeds 64°, the fans are always at 50%, so they do not make any noise, do not have a high workload and keep the card at a good temperature, in addition to having the fans constantly running at 30% when it drops of 50°, when you stop playing the GPU cools down to 28°.

4000 series doesn’t really need UV, they are better optimised than 3000 series. I did to my 4090 and I was losing about 10 fps, in some games more than that. And if you play 4k 5-10 fps diff is crucial because is not a high refresh rate.

[@Dshi117]

If you don’t care at all about your wattage pull then I agree don’t UV the 4090. I’ve done his method as well on my 4090 and for me I just noticed I’m maintaining my out of box performance at a significantly lower wattage at .975V. I also noticed significantly lower coil whine when playing competitive games on 1440p 280hz. Playing on my 4k 144hz is the same story pretty much and I’ve never seen gnarly dips in fps unless I’m running all settings maxed with RT on…which really isn’t optimal anyways.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

They’re more efficient than RTX 3000 but you can still gain quite a bit! If you do it right you won’t lose any FPS and depending on how you set things you might actually gain some, circumventing power limit :)

The only issue i see is you're using an outdated benchmark tool. You should use in game benchmarks or at least 3D Mark or Superposition to give a more realistic outcome for gaming

[@LordAngelus]

Superposition is kinda annoying, every time I alt+tab it closes. Not sure if user error but yeah.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

I’m not using it for stress testing purposes though, just to put some load on the card and get a baseline. One should then do some proper testing :)

[@Simmymind360]

I would prefer to use say cyberpunk as a reality check, heaven benchmark just doesn't cut it in the real PC world

[@ImWateringPSUs]

One definitely needs to test properly in-game after finding the initial stability point :) Agreed

[@StarlightGalaxi]

Stop using Unigine Heaven to see if the GPU is stable this benchmark is from 2009 and doesn't put modern RTX GPU's to full usage also underclocking the card isn't gonna give you more performance what people need to do is try to find the most lowest stable voltage at your stock frequency so you won't lose performance underclocking the card at lower voltage isn't going to give you more FPS you're gonna lose 5-6FPS.

[@ImWateringPSUs]

I’m not really using it to test if it’s stable! I use it just to put some load on the GPU when applying the curve. I always recommend testing in games :)
