Help with over clocking EVGA RTX 2080 Super XC

[Datman27]

Hello everyone!

 

I just built a gaming pc using new and pre existing parts. I have just bought a EVGA 2080 super XC graphics card and am having a hard time overclocking it. benchmarks will be totally stable but every game tends to crash at some point during play. On Msi afterburner, i tried using OC scanner but it seems to have actually downlocked the card. i am wondering if there could be something i am missing or if this card is a dud. everyone seems to be having decent luck with this card. 

 

specs are

EVGA RTX 2080 super XC

Msi gaming edge z390 mobo

Intel i7-9700f

2 sticks of 8 gb ddr 4 ram 3200 mhz 

Corsair CX650 psu

1tb samsung 970 evo plus m.2 ssd

4tb WD HDD

well im playing at 4K and notice it adds enough frames to get me over the 60 fps hump in certain games.

For a EVGA card use Pression X1.

This is what it looks like. This is my 24/7 overclock I first used on my FTW3 Ultra. 

I started with 200 on the memory clock at first but I ended up using 800. On the core clock it is best to start at 100 and test. It is set to 117 because some games don't like it going higher. Turn the power target up all the way so the GPU can get all the power it needs.

 

I test my overclockers with Heaven at 1080p, in a window so I can change the overclock while looking for artifacts. 

First I run the bench without an overclock so I can see the improvements later on. It looks like this. 

 

I then set the overclock and set it run for a while.

Note the difference in temps. I leave the fans a default because this is a 24/7 overclock.

 

 

You don't need to overclock your CPU with your card. If you had a 2080 ti I would say overclock it to 5ghz.
