Undervolting a gpu?

Go to solution Solved by Energycore,

Maxwell doesn't gain anything from undervolting, Afterburner for instance only lets you tune the voltage up. You could lower temperatures by lowering the temperature target, but it would result in reduced performance.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

So I've heard that graphics cards can be undervolted just a bit, and that it helps with temperatures.  Is there any merit to this, and how would i go about doing so? How much is too much? I have a gtx 970, are there any issues with doing so on this card?

That's mostly the fury cards for modern GPUs, they have the potential to be as efficient as a Fury Nano

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
