Asus 2070 RTX Overclocking - Help needed

[katulen]

Hey guys.

I wanted to get some feedback and guidance on my overclock for my Asus Strix 2070 RTX, and hope that some of you can help me 
I messed around with it alot the last few days, and ended up getting these results which seem stable so far (4 days in & no crashes nor artifacts)

Voltage Core: 0%
Power Limit: 125%
Temp. Limit: 88c (max)
Core Clock: +140
Memory Clock: +600
Max Boost Clock: 2085
Max Voltage: 1.050v
Max Temp. Under Load: 65c
Max Fan Speed: 75%

Under max load or 99-100% GPU usage it runs 2085MHz & 7600MHz stable in games, 3D Mark Fire Strike & TimeSpy, MSI Kombustor & Heaven.

First of all, what is your thoughts on this overclock of my Asus Strix 2070 RTX ??

Secondly, i tryid to get some more juice out of it. But as soon as i increase clock or memory it will start crashing. I then thought about changing the Core Voltage % slider, but when i did that, it started to crash.
I then tryid to mess around with the voltage curve, without any success.
I did some research on the Voltages with the RTX series, and came to the conclusion, that most people don't have any success, getting any extra juice by changing the Core Voltage % slider.
What is your thoughts / opinions on this subject?

It is very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Why not have your PL maxed out to 130%?

Your core is average for 2070 but still a good OC.

Memory same as core.

 

My 2070 is a EVGA XC Gaming I get +165 on the core, +800 on the memory with 130% PL @ 100% fan 62c lower when I have it running in custom water cooling loop. (Dead pump right now )

 

I get clock speeds of from 2070-2175Mhz and usually settles @ 2125Mhz.

Voltage slider really doesn't do anything, I can leave it at 0 and still have +165 on the core no issue.

My card show Power Limit as limiting factor, when I get my new pump, I plan on bridging the shunt resistors to push more power through the card.

 

Have you done any superposition 1080p extreme runs? I got some results to help you compare.

 

Overall you got a strong OC I would bump your PL up to max.

Core clock is average, memory seems a bit low? But I dont have the best of data on memory overclock for 8GB GDDR6.

 

As for voltage slider, all it does since Pascal is to send more voltage at lower power states, without touching the max voltage reached. Useful for getting degraded GPUs going again, no good for overclocking.

It's 125% max for the Strix. However he starts at 215w instead of your 180w, so the actual max for the Strix is still higher at 269w while yours tops at 240w.

I'd rather flash a bios with higher power limit

Thanks for your feedback.

 

As Jurrunio says, 125% is max, so unfurtunately cant change that.

I have not. But i can do some later tonight. And post here.

 

And looking through GPU-Z while under load, it seems vRel & VOp is my PerfCap reason. But for some reason it says in Afterburner that i hit Power Limit alot, even tho its still is at 90-110% PL, so dont know what is up with that.

Well, as soon as i hit +700 memory it will crash, with core clock being on +140.

However I havent tested how far i can take memory with having core clock on +0, is that worth a try? I've heard some people talk about that memory clock has a big performance increase on the 20 series.

I dont think that affects memory OC. Even if it does your gains wont compensate for the loss in core clock. I myself only observe major gains with memory OC on Turing GDDR5 cards, i.e. the 1660. Even the 1660ti isn't nearly as impressive

Ok, so im better off sticking with my current core clock oc, and leave memory where its at.

 

Another thing.

 

I've noticed that in Afterburner, Power Limit goes to "1" even tho the current Power % only is at 90-110%. Any clue why that is?

AB considers voltage limit as power limit

Ahh then it makes alot more sense.  Thanks alot dude.

 

I wondered if you maybe had any inputs on a 2nd issue i got, regarding Fan 1 & Fan 2 showing different rpms at same Fan Speed %. (GPU-Z & AB).

Im refering to this thread:

Dennis, i've done a superposition bench now.

Whats yours look like?

Yours looks good right where i would expect it to be. This is my highest score I have gotten so far.

Ahh cool.

Yeah i'd wish I could push my card just a tad more. But everytime i move either core clock or memory it become unstable in some of my stress tests / benchs, and can't have that :D.

 

I guess next step is to overclock my CPU... Interesting, cause im a noob. Haha

My card I sit stable at +165 core, +850Mhz memory, and PL set at 130%.

 

I always get the Power limit flag when trying to clock higher, it doesn't crash it just throttles the core clock down to around 2100Mhz.

 

What speed of RAM do you have?

Yeah i think i get the same. My core clock hits 2130 and clocks down to 2085 and staying stable there throughout the load.

 

I got CORSAIR Vengeance RGB 16GB: 2x8GB DDR4 3000MHz

Same here I got CL16 and can get 3366Mhz @ 1.36v without touching the timings, I can get 3400Mhz at 16-21-21-40-60-1T
