RTX 3050 TI things

[Takeyzz]

Hi. So i have an asus gsming TUF f15 with an intel i5 and a rtx 3050 ti. It runs great but i want to squeeze every last bit of juice it has. It has a voltage offset thing in settings. But i dont wanna mess up smth. Any tips?

you cant really mess anything up so its just trial and error

The issue with attempting to overclock on a laptop is that, for most gaming laptops, you're already thermally limited. The CPU and GPU are often configured to run at TJMax all the time when in use, so you don't actually have any headroom when it comes to directly overclocking.

 

You can attempt undervolting, which should allow the GPU to reduce its power needs, thus giving it more thermal headroom. It will probably still reach TJMax, but it would do so at a higher clockspeed, thus effectively giving you an overclock.

 

Undervolting will not damage components. Worse case, it will cause instability - up to the point of Windows itself crashing if you go too low. How far your particular card could go isn't possible to say, and will require testing.

 

Here's a video about undervolting 3080 and 3090 desktop cards. Obviously, the numbers you get for things like clockspeed will be different, but the principle is the same.

A bit off topic, but "3050Ti" is a bit laughable name, makes me think of a Citroen Ami Turbo GT
