  1. Tried basic over clocking with power limit set to 112% (450W), people recommending an offset of 120 Mhz or so, to start. And here I am crashing with a clock offset of +90. (1995Mhz). Embarrassing that this can't even hit 2k.
  2. A look at overclocking threads and videos like https://forums.evga.com/3080ti-ftw3-undervolting-m3373548.aspx and seem to imply a trend of 0.XYv roughly translates to 1XY0 Mhz. my card seems like an outlier.
  3. Jumped from a 3080 to a evga ftw3 3080 ti (it was a free upgrade) today and attempts to undervolt/overclock have been disappointing. voltage, clock, approx power draw when running port royal 0.8v, 1725, 240W 0.85, 1770, 255W 0.868, 1800, 270W 0.9v, 1830, 290W 1v, 1905, 360W latest drivers, corsair axi 860W power supply. Is there anything obvious I'm missing that could be causing these poor results or is it just bad RNG?
  4. On a rtx 3080. Let's say I've been testing my gpu at 0.9v and I found the optimal memory overclock is 10 ghz. Any lower or higher will drop my benchmark scores, this is the sweet spot. If I were to undervolt my gpu to 0.8v, would that memory sweet spot also change?
  5. that's because the benchmark just ended...
  6. I have an evga xc3 ultra 3080. No matter what settings I change the card will hit the power limit around 320W, when it's rated at 340W. Even when raising the power limit to 366W, power limit will always be hit around 320W. Using a Corsair ax860i power supply. Two separate pci power cables feeding the card. Here's a gpuz of a Heaven run on stock settings. Is there something wrong with my card or setup?
  7. Let's say the fans should turn on at 30 degrees C. Ambient is around 20 degrees C. Anything higher than 30 degrees C, the fans will cool the gpu under 30 degrees, the fans then turn off. But since the gpu is generating heat, eventually it heats up to over 30 degrees and the cycle repeats. Also, I should note that the fans ARE spinning (at the reported 30% RPM) the entire time, it's just the tachometer reading that has me confused.
  8. So I've heard having your gpu fans constantly turn off and on is not good for the longevity of the fans. So I set up a curve that looks like this. my gpu idles in the 30s, so it should never fall below the room ambient of 20C. note that afterburner won't allow me to set the fan speed between 1 and 29%. The fan RPM is consistantly around 33%, which is good, however the fan tachometer has a zigzag like pattern. Is this an issue, and if so, how can I prevent this?
  9. Previously I had an Asus pb278q using a DVI cable to my old gpu. The DP port on the pb278q is currently connected to a laptop. I also have a display port cable running from my gpu to another monitor. I got a new rtx card and decided to switch the dvi cable with an hdmi one, since the new card doesn't have a DVI port. Since then, when booting or shutting down my PC, the pb278q will briefly display all blue pixels (I think this is the 'no signal detected' screen). This bright blue flash of light is terribly annoying especially when it's dark. Does anyone know how to stop this behavior?
  10. I had a decent amount of experience overclocking cards manually back in the day and I thought I'd finally get to underclocking my 1080ti - It's been a miserable experience. I feel like I must be missing something or doing something wrong, because I can't imagine enthusiasts putting up with all these roadblocks. Day 1: open MSI afterburner, open voltage curve editor. I decide I don't want the card to exceed 1V, benchmark in Unigine Valley. After some trial and error, I settle at 1.974Ghz at 1V (anything higher will be unstable) and end up with a curve like this, which I save as a profile, I boot up a real game at these settings, and play RDR2 for several hours with no crashes. Day 2: Boot pc, open afterburner, hit apply OC, boot up RDR2, within 2 minutes the game crashes. Darn, my OC is unstable - or so I thought. I look at the voltage curve and I'm greeted with a curve that is set much higher than the values I had input the previous day. I double check my profile, and it's correct. I hit apply again and the curve is shifted up again, what gives? Long story short - I read up and learn that GPU boost 3.0 will increase your clocks, if there is thermal headroom. I had created and saved my voltage curve settings when my gpu was running over 60 degrees (makes sense, I was benchmarking). When booting up my pc, my gpu is running relatively cool - sub 40 degrees, because of this, gpu boost sees I have additional thermal headroom and bumps up my clocks up by 2 buckets (25Mhz) which pushes my gpu into unstable territory - leading to crashes. So my question to you fine folks is how do you guys get around this? I want to apply the same undervolt that is automatically be applied on system start up, one that doesn't depend on the gpu temperature the moment the apply button is clicked. It doesn't look like you can turn boost off unless you dig into the BIOS (which I do not want to do). Also, is there a way to customize the actual curve in the voltage editor (the faint green line) instead of an offset? Intuitively, I thought we could only modify the offset, but I've seen that it can be modified, I just haven't figured out how to control it.
  11. Can someone recommend me a digital picture frame? A quick google search brings up results that cost around $200. Why is a basic cpu and panel so expensive? I just want a basic frame that can play and cycle through a gallery of images, a wireless connection is a nice to have but not required. I don't mind having to update an sd card. I don't need it to play music, touch screen, calendar, social media integration, or any other sort of nonsense.
