Undervolting opinions (RTX 3070 TI)

[TheeShadowStorm]

Okay so I've been reading that undervolting the 30 series cards, particularly the Ti cards is pretty much a 'must do' to improve the efficiency and temperature of the GPU without affecting performance too much, in some cases not at all.

 

I haven't been having any issues with temps or stability using stock settings but I thought I'd see how I went with undervolting.

 

Here is a typical Heaven result at stock settings.

 

GPU = MSI Ventus 3x RTX 3070 Ti STOCK

Heaven result:

Max Voltage = 1.055v

Max power draw = 289W

Max Core = 1965mhz

Heaven Score = 2898

Avg FPS = 111.5

Max temp = 76c

Max fan % - 68%

 

I followed a few different guides and ended up with the following simple undervolt to 0.850v and 1890mhz.

 

GPU = MSI Ventus 3x RTX 3070 Ti UNDERVOLTED

Heaven result:

Max Voltage = 0.850v

Max power draw = 203.9W

Core = 1890mhz

Heaven Score = 2733

Avg FPS = 107.6

Max temp = 67c

Max fan % - 46%

 

Heaven was run at 1440p, windowed with all settings maxed, DX11. Afterburner and HW Info were also running

 

What do you think? Should I call it a day or could I improve further?

i think thats really good, try testing on warzone and or halo infinite as those games crash very easily if gpu oc/undervolt is unstable

I will definitely try some extended gaming sessions. Thanks

Runs very nicely, stable and relatively cool at 925mv, 1890mhz boost clock and 9801mhz on the memory (a +300 OC)

Would a similar profile work for a TUF 3070TI card?

Hi. I have a Zotac 3070 Ti Trinity OC that I snagged for 755$ converted here in the Philippines. First thing i did was play a match of COD Warzone and noted all stock fps, clocks, power draw, thermals, fan noise.

I then checked reddit for working undervolt settings and ran Afterburner. I set my undervolt to 900mV @ 1965Mhz… Didn’t touch the memory clocks yet coz I only have a 650watt PSU (processor is 9700K OC’d 5ghz @ 1.295v)

 

Anyway, thermals have improved, power draw significantly decreased to around 160-190watts with an occasional max peak to 210watts. 
 

Here’s my Heaven benchmark result:
