I just don't like the power usage (which is almost 2x my 1080) and I'll be moving to an SFF case. e: Holy poo poo raytracing is awesome. Control running pretty great at ultrawide even with DLSS off. ijyt fucked around with this message at 21:05 on Dec 4, 2020 |

Undervolting is a new concept to me. I just stepped into a 3060 Ti from a 1060. Is this something I should consider?

I’d wait and see how other people do with it because it’s so new but as far as the 3080 goes you can actually increase performance while decreasing temps by undervolting. I undervolt as far as I can while still letting my games run well because my card whines a lot otherwise

Only if you’re unhappy with your current temperatures, but effectively you’re overclocking by dropping the voltage that the card runs at. For example the stock voltage of the 3080 FE is around 1060mv, running at a clock of around 1850MHz. I undervolted mine to run at a lower voltage (925mv) and higher clock speed (1965MHz), reducing overall temperature, fan speed (and therefore noise) and power consumption.

My EU 3070 step-up queue status changed from "Pending" to "In-Queue" today. Hoping that's a good sign of movement soon.

I wouldn't expect it to be substantially different on the 3060ti. Basically all modern cards run on a v/f curve and you're just using trial and error to find a stable overclock for your card while also telling it not to pass y voltage. If you don't mind spending the time and dealing with some instability, it's worth doing. Edit: assuming afterburner et al support the 3060ti already.

It’s super easy to undervolt Ampere, you can get more performance, and theoretically it will extend the life of your card. There is no reason not to. For me the two games that are most finicky are Metro Exodus and Horizon Zero Dawn. If both of those at least pass a couple of benchmark runs, I know the undervolt is probably good. I’m doing 1,900mhz at .850mv I did get some crashes on Half Life: Alyx but I’m not sure it has anything to do with the video card. Need to test that a bit more.

I've been meaning to undervolt the card a bit myself or make some room for it by clearing out my drive bay since it does run a little warm in my case, 76-77C under heavy load. It's not a huge issue though. It's a very quiet card even at that threshold.

Control is another game that REALLY hates overclocking and causes CTD. Found that out when I was undervolting and overclocked the vram.

Were you testing your overclock with port royal? If you're not stressing the tensor cores all bets are off for your OC when the tensor cores are loaded. Just like AVX2 and prime95 on CPU.

No I havent. Control also crashed when I did uv/oc with my 1660 super, so it's not just the tensor cores.

Something I probably should have asked a while back: Is it normal to be seeing stability issues - like, random hard reboots - with a Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC on a 700w PSU (combo-ed with a 5900x and 3600mhz 32GB RAM)? I think it's specifically the factory overclock (because there's no other OC going) that's causing issues, because all's fine when the AORUS ENGINE utility is not running. And oddly enough, it's only doing this when the card is idle, not when there's a game or other GPU-intensive app running. Cross-Section fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Dec 5, 2020 |

Space Racist posted:Is undervolting universally recommended for Ampere cards? who wouldn't want more performance, better thermals, and cheaper energy bills? and to be clear, undervolting is a form of overclocking if what you're thinking is that it's just under-powering a card. i mean that's sort of it that, but it's getting your GPU to run at certain clock frequencies using less power draw, this could be the same stock frequencies but less mV which means better thermals which means higher performance. they're usually set to draw more power than they need because not all chips are created equal so there's a margin of safety they put in all of them for stability-purposes but that makes them run shittier than if your chip can handle the clock at a lower voltage so some may be able to draw less than others for the same clock. basically what they said: Animal posted:It’s super easy to undervolt Ampere, you can get more performance, and theoretically it will extend the life of your card.

Xaris posted:no. If it was GPU instability I believe you would probably see some BSODs of various forms. That sounds more like a DRAM stability problem. Have you tried turning off XMP in the bios (if you're using it) I do have XMP on, but it was doing this at 2666mhz as well. Plus Event Viewer is showing GPU-related error codes (278 specifically) at time of shutdown.

lol drat the blops campaign is like 3 hours long, i'd be fuming if i'd spent any actual money on this game also echoing the comments re undervolting, i simply shouldn't be able to get this combination of temperatures/acoustics/performance from an 18L case!!

That last Newegg drop, I ordered a 3060ti combo and 3070 combo since they staggered it a bit, I really wanted the 3080 but couldn't get one in the cart. the 3060ti combo ended up being voided after I checked out. 3070 combo ended up with a ship date, so hurray! Judging by the discord chat a lot of orders got voided I could return the PSU but it's a 750w gold rated one and i'll need one anyways. https://www.newegg.com/gigabyte-gp-p750gm-750w/p/N82E16817233029?Item=N82E16817233029
