Small OC vs Medium OC vs High OC.

[probablydumb]

Alright so i have an MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 2080 Super.I've never been a OC type of guy i know my stuff about tech but i never got into OC.What do you guys consider a small OC, a medium OC, and a HIGH OC.All of these OC without requiring any increase in voltage.

 

For me this is what i think those are (correct me if im wrong)

 

For a small OC maybe like +30 Core Clock, +100 Memory Clock?

For a medium OC maybe like +50 Core Clock, +300 Memory Clock?

For a High OC maybe like +100 Core Clock, +600 Memory Clock?

No like, im wondering what everyone considered a small overclock vs a medium or a high overclock.

"small" "medium" and "high" are degrees. Degrees require a standard to be defined against. Nobody knows what your standard is. Peformance? risk of crashing? temperature? difficulty of achieving the overclock? skill in achieving the overclock?

A good balance between stable and performance.

this question makes not too much sense because every card is different. your card *may* not hit any of those reliably... no way to tell. 

Silicone lottery. 

Also 20xx cards actually "degrade" pretty stark in performance once they go over the threshold, meaning you maybe can push +50 more but get actually *worse* performance. 

 

 

Tbh, with these cards, they are so strong (yes I know you "only" have a last gen card, it's still on par with newer gen cards tho) overclocking them really only makes sense in rare edge cases, it's more done for bragging rights and "fun"  overclocking is actually fun... the real world gains are usually small tho unless you go crazy with ln2 and custom bios and stuff.

 

 

PS:

 

small = +5 fps 

medium = +10 fps 

ln2 = World Record, baby! 

 

 

Maybe that answers it?

Yeah,thank you i wasn't really looking for any CORRECT answer. i was just looking for opinions since i was never big in OC myself! Appreciate it!
