Do OC is worth ?

[Winterlight]

I OC my RTX 2080 too 2010 Mhz and get average 3 FPS better in game compered too default 1770-1860 Mhz range. What point of GPU OC over all ? I think that this OC not worth at all now GPU draw average ~40 W more and temp is 78 C° compered too default  clock 70 C° and all this for what average 3 FPS that mean nothing in game. I think that undervolted is more worth than OC I can get stable 1800 Mhz at 0.850 mV and GPU run cooler as well draw average ~ 20 W less compered default and I lose nothing in game.

But for real, with modern GPUs most of them already have the snot overclocked out of them from the factory. You end up getting very minimal gain when pushing them further like you see with your tests.

 

Undervolting is the new Overclocking.

Whether its worth it is up to you. Personally, I have several profiles saved for my 2080. One OCs it to the max. Another maximizes the efficiency by undervolting. The one I use depends on the game I'm playing and my mood.

Whether you think the tradeoffs are worth it is up to you. Personally I generally don't overclock, but I've done it before to get just a little more performance in games that didn't run great. An extra 10% changes basically nothing at 300 fps, but it means a lot in games that can dip to 30.

Core overclocking depends alot on the gpu, if its a high end one its usually more worth it to undervolt as you wont see any noticable games but on lower end ones yes there is def a gain from core oc

 

In this case just undervolt your gpu core w/o sacrificing too much performance and oc the balls off your vram without hitting ecc (when you hit ecc the higher the clocks the slower)

Do you mock the OP ?

I agree, OCing a GPU is 20% more power (on better cards, other can't get that far) for less than 8% performance gain, undervolting is more efficient

My FTW3 Ultra 2080 tis had 24/7 overclocks at around 2040 to 2070mhz. It was worth it with those cards for that gen.

My 30 series cards are stock because it is not worth it. 

 

What I got was about 7 frames at 4k and that put most frames over 60 in games like Assassin's Creed Odyssey.

With VRR as good as it is now it is probably not a big deal but in 2018 it was.

But 3 FPS is not worth over all and there is some just terrible optimized  games that run 200+ FPS but if you look at 99% FPS it stay ~40 for some reason.

Btw one game crash at 2010 Mhz non stop even GPU pass multiple stress test, AAA type games without any crash but have one special game that won't deal with OC.

nah, it's not worth it

"for me" OC the GPUs it really doesn't make sense

 

on the other hand, OC the CPU if it's worth it (for me)

You're probably CPU limited in that game, with that kind of clock range you should get more than 3 fps imo. 

Overclock and undervolt is the lyfe.

Just reminded me of the Game Grumps reference lol

Can it be due CPU OC as well ? I'm not sure if it's possible that game crash due CPU couse I think if it's CPU fault whole OS crash not only game. Not sure if I'm right ?
