1080 Ti Aorus overclocking advice pls

[ManEatingFridge]

Using MSI Afterburner. Temp and power limit set to max, fan curve at 70% from 40 C to 70 C and going up from there.

 

Big daddy der8auer said that all Pascal cards should get core + 150 and mem + 550 but I crash at anything above +85 on core. Also I had a weird issue that opening the render test in GPU-Z on any settings would crash the driver for some reason. Maybe that was just an issue with the VRAM or VRMs not cooling down enough. Using Kombustor 1440p Combined OpenGL for stresstest.

 

I'm new to this, any tips? Should I even add to clocks or just let GPU Boost do whatever it wants? It runs stable when I just leave power and temp at max and that did improve the benchmark score by 7%.

Thats probably +150 above reference.

Oh so because the card is factory OC it hits that way sooner. Didn't think about that...

What does your core run at at load ?

 

Also i have seen people complain about the Auros OC software being rather unstable. If you have it installed try uninstalling it and using Afterburner on its own.

Says the boost clock is 1708 in "gaming mode".  I have a liquid cooled version of this card and it will sit under 100% load at ~2010.  I can't OC it past that.

Haven't isntalled anything other than afterburner. Render test makes core run at 2025 with +80. In kombustor it dropped to 1750 or something.

[SolarNova]

Around 2000mhz is a expected OC.

its likely droping due to heat or power limit in kombustor. Run Unigine Valley and/or Heaven benchmark to get a better idea of where your core clock will settle in games.
