Don't understand all the dislikes. This video is good. Yes, what TITANS_of_the_EARTH is saying in the top, pinned comment is true, but that don't make this video bad overall. Even the fact that you record with a 2nd PC, so be able to capture crashes and so on, it's just that bit more you do for this video, which is great compared to other videos. Also you explain everything really well and in a good pace too. Great video mate, fuck the dislikes!
Same card here, +180 in core and +1000 in memory to achieve 21 gbps totally stable after months of use and core never passes 60c and memory 90c. Then i realized i was getting 7 more fps, just an 8% more and was not a game changer to me so i insted undervolted it
Most important point for Ampere is missing. Open the Curve and LOWER the maximum clockspeed under the critical value of boostclock. If your card runs in demanding games with max 2000mhz any didn't crash BUT in not demanding games the boost goes up to 2050 an crashes. Lower the highest points of thd curve. And that's it! For example: if you card runs around 1900 and you ad +100 to core...and then open the curve crtl+F ...you will see the right end of the curve is the curve doesn't end at (1900+100) 2000mhz. The graph goes perhaps up to 2100 at the right end. Now you have to lower all points behind 2000mhz... So your card nover boosts over 2000...and is stable.
How can you see what your card runs at? all the way to the right I see 2055 mhz. And at 900mV I see 1830. at 1025MV 1995 mhz starts. Dunno what value to base on what you say..
this is definitely one the most helpful vids on the subject. Not to complicated, easy to understand, I don't get confused on any of his points. Great vid
Undervolting 3000 series cards is the best thing to do. You can significantly lower your power usage while maintaining near exact performance. These cards are known to not overclock well at all, but grant a huge efficiency boost from a simple undervolt. All current guides show really amazing results.
@@overclockersclub You can undervolt basically any gpu, but 3000 series cards see a much greater benefit than others. You could use most any brand software but msi afterburner is best imo. You can effectively reduce the voltage while maintaining the same boost clock. They can be almost reduced 100 watts while staying around stock performance.
@@gio7753 There's a few useful videos that use MSI to do it. But a great one on undervolting the 3080 or 3090 is by "Optimum Tech", they also have an earlier video going more in depth on undervolting in general.
@@overclockersclub hey dude yeah it’s not the voltage slider. Rather, in an over simplified way, you pick a voltage you want (so I chose 925mV) and basically pick a frequency (1920Mhz) and have your curve basically plateau at this point (straight flat line from 0.925V to max voltage). This will force gpu to run at 0.925V instead of the 1.1V let’s say. People, including me, have been able to get same performance w ~100W less power and better thermals
Always curve settings is the best for core and find the most demanding game on ultra and that's the best way to set it up. The most demanding one which forces your GPU is a lot of current)
It depends on a lot of factors like the power supply wattage , cooling, drivers etc. I recommend that you use 3DMark stress tests to test the stability of the overclock at your daily use resolution as it is the best indicator of the stability of your overclock. If you used msi afterburner OC scanner to get that overclock I recommend changing it as the latest version is currently bugged you might wanna use an older stable version until the app gets updated which might never happen.
It works well on everything except forza horizon 5 lol. I got tired of messing with uv stability and all. I just went up to +100 core +300mem +50volt ftw!!! Never gets over 75c during gaming
@@KinGDGaminG63 hey david thanks for the info, now he said the volts don't matter on current gpus so by touching the volting did it make a difference to you? I also have a rtx 3080.
Great video, I just was all night up running benchmarks. I got it at +60 core on the 3080 stable. Tomorrow test is in a game. Really like that you cover all steps without any BS
One thing i don't think you mentioned was the fan curve. I currently own an 2070 rtx and using precision for example i can only go so high using the default curve. however default curve doesn't even seem to go above 60% fan speed so i use the preset for aggressive and then i'm able to run it more stable at like another 30mhz higher. Fan speed can make a huge difference. It may be beneficial to just manually set it to 100% for testing how far your card can go stable with 100% to see what it's capable of then back off as you feel you need and willing to compensate lower OC for lower noise etc.
True a 100% fan speed is helpful for some cards. Ones like the Founders Editions and Gaming X Trio stick to mid-70s without adjustment. Bring it to 100% and it drops to mid 60s. I didn't see a difference in clock speed like previous generations.
I really enjoy your knowledge and relay of that information is easily understood. Thank you! I have a random question. I have a ROG Strix RTX 3080 ti OC. I’m just learning to oc it for the first time. Been using it for about a year and a half. Hoping to get a little higher frames on VR iracing. Anyways, my question is this. What power cables do you recommend from PSU to GPU? I had a hard time finding mine. Eventually I did, however they have a daisy chain coming off each one of the three that I don’t like. It just eats up space and isn’t clean looking. Do you have a link for the appropriate cables?
@@overclockersclub what would flashing the bios do? Would that just raise clock speeds? I could do that with msi afterburner right? Do the OC versions have better binned Chips? I assume the oc version can overclock better than non oc.
Flashing the RTX 3080 is risky right now. Not much information. I've read posts of people flashing the Strix BIOS to the TUF....Doesn't mean its stable or actually works. I don't have the cards to try it myself. Flashing the BIOS is mainly for increasing the Power Target Limit. Or if your lazy and don't like to manual overclock, flashing it to the OC model will just give you a higher base clock speed. Some companies do pre-bin the OC models, most do not and it is just luck of the draw that the OC model will "preform" better by overclocking higher.
17:49 also, it doesn't force increments of 15, it lets you set it at even 50, 100, 150...it didn't change when you typed in 50 or 55 either. and you said your memory limit was 400, and you raised it by factors of 100, neither of which are divisible by 15.
You can set a core offset of whatever you want in software, but the clock speed only adjusts in 15 MHz increments. So setting +50 would raise the frequency by +45. The memory does not have this limitation and it will use whatever offset you input.
Hey, so I was looking for an standard value for the OC of the 3080 FE. Would you say that it's core power temp at max. And then memory 400 and core 30? That's the max? And all you get is like 2 fps maximum? Did I understand that correctly? So my take away would be that for 2fps I wouldn't bother OCing?
The EVGA FTW3 Ultra RTX 3080 is hands down the best overclocking 3080 card with its new 450W BIOS! It even beats the stock RTX 3090 in some situations.
I would agree but it's also one of the most expensive. If you into extreme overclocking the ASUS TUF is the best. Shunt mod + voltage mod will rock everything else for the price. But that means it will void the warranty.
@@overclockersclub yes I do agree, but I am not sure why in my area there is one store selling the ftw3 ultra for 250 dollars (aud) less than other stores, effectively making it cheaper than even the Asus tuf and eagle oc.
I have a few questions/tips if you could help me (for my first pc build) I plan on building a full white RGB Corsair build with this case which would have the Ryzen 9 5950X (when it launches) and an RTX 3080 ( or RDNA2 if it is better). Is there anything I should be aware of? I am not sure why most motherboards don’t seem to be compatible with this case. According to PC Part Picker the Asus Rog Strix X570-E gaming motherboard does not have a USB 3.1 gen 1 port for the case front ports. But looking at the motherboard, there is a USB 3.1 gen 1 port.

fyi little tip, since you seem to have a similar display as me. 4096x2160 isn't a native 16:9 aspect ratio, it's actually 17:9, which is a fantastic thing, because with that in mind, next time you are gaming on the display, try playing your game in 21:9, the letter boxing is minimal due to the native aspect ratio being 17:9 instead of 16:9, you would not think it would make such a difference, but it does, and if you are playing your games in 16:9, you should have pillar boxing on the sides of your image anyway, so doing it this way, instead of pillar boxing and a 16:9 aspect ratio, you get barely noticeable letter boxing, and you get a great experience. It's worth trying, especially if you are into AAA games, and if you sit a little too close to your display (for example, my 42-inch TV is 4 ft from my desk chair when you're supposed to only be 6 feet away. When I lay down in bed, and I'm a little further away, I play in 17:9 which most games will either not display in, or oddly, will only display in 17:9 when you select "auto aspect ratio", or the game will claim it is in 16:9, but it will really display in 17:9 OR the image will be ever so slightly stretched to fit the 17:9 display. I'm not sure if that sometimes happens, due to how minimally it would be stretching from 16-17) it feels more natural to play in 21:9 for me personally. It's like having a 40-inch ultrawide 4k and IDK why this isn't ever really spoken about
Excellent video, very easy to follow and has great info. However I think undervolting is a better method to overclock. I ended up with 950mV at 2040mhz in all games and stress tests, while only hitting 68C on my founder’s edition. And it stays at 2040mhz more and doesn’t bounce around cause it stays at or under the 368W power limit. Maybe you could do another video on that?
How to unlock the core voltage? I have msi rtx 3090 trio x gaming but when i open the unlock voltage from msi afterburner settings nothing happened still locked for even I updated every nvidia driver or msi afterburner
I literally have the exact same specs as you in your computer, same values for the overclocked card, yet I'm not getting close to your graphics benchmark. In fact, getting better CPU score on my overclocked 10900k than yours oddly enough; but the graphics score is nearly 3k lower. Any help?
I have my 10900K locked at 5.1 Ghz - All Core - AVX Offset Zero. Memory DDR4-4000 CL15. That would explain a higher combined score or CPU score, but solely graphics that should be fairly close in numbers. I think the 18798 GPU score is from Time Spy, not Time Spy Extreme.
I recently just got into Pc (switched from console). My first build is Z490 TUF Mobo i9 10900k Msi 3080 Trio 32g Ram TridentZ (3600mhz) Evo Plus 2TB Ssd Rm850 Corsair psu What are the benefits of overclocking? Does it vastly improve fps? And with my psu would I be able to safely overclock? (I plan on gaming at 4k)
Benefits of overclocking is simple. More performance for free. But I would be careful with that configuration. It it really close to what my test Intel system is. Overclocking that 10900K to 5.1Ghz All-Core 1.275v hits 330 watts under stress test. The MSI 3080 Trio is 350. Those two alone will be 680 Watts. You should be safe, but personally for me I swapped out my Corsair HX850 for a HX1200 so I could test the RTX 3090 and beyond.
I mean to get that CPU to overclock that high took a Watercooeld Loop with a 480 Radiator. So its not something everything is going to do. I think with your configuration the 850 won't be a problem.
i also have the msi trio x 3080. I entered the exact same values as u showd at the end. +30 core clock +200 memory clock. Running combuster i keep floating around 1800 - 1845mhz max !! is this normal? or am i missing power from my psu ? its an 750w corsair but with daysi chain since 3 pcie 8 slots.....
@@overclockersclub I just got lucky. Cyberpunk ran fine but cod Warzone crashed every 2 minutes. After I disabled msi afterburner it ran fine and pretty much boosted to the same clock (about 2140) without any issues. After some more testing I want to find out if the OC is really worth it afterall.
The voltage slider does do something. Even when I'm hitting the power limit, increasing the voltage slider results in higher clockspeeds. What's going on there I wonder?
@@overclockersclub Gigabyte Vision. I think the voltage slider allows the card to access higher clock/voltage bins. On the very rare occasion that you're not power limited, this can allow brief forays to those higher clockspeeds. So it might improve some max FPS but probably wont affect min FPS or av. FPS
@@mannyfresh7065 I just got gigabyte vision and can confirm that the effect is negligible, I just set it to 100% and my furmark score only increased by about 30 points (which is in the margin of error)
You say 45 is about the limit for the CC, however on my strix I was able to stability run Port Royal at 175 MHz (core clock) and 1900 MHz (memory clock). Is this normal and safe? My gpu temp is max 72 and VRAM is max 84. Thanks!
Aye that’s nice!! Great temps. I just got my 3080 strix white edition. I actually undervolted mine to reduce coil whine. Do you know how much power you hit w those settings? I take it you increased temp and power limits?
Just got a gigabyte eagle that’s not an OC edition yet seems to overlock dedecently. Lack of power draw is screwing me though, flashing a custom bios down the road should unlock lots of potential
So I have the Asus Tuf 3080 non oc and it has a power limit max of 117%. I'm running stable at +150 core clock and +600 memory clock. I'm hitting a max of 66 degrees in a close P600s case. How come this is much different from yours?
Question for you guys. When I start up MSI afterburner, the top left MHZ number on the MSI afterburner console is changing constantly. Going from 600-1300. Your seems to stay put at 210 MHZ. Any idea what could be going on?
The 210mhz is idle because the card is not being used in any way. Every generation is different for the idle clock frequency but it seems your GPU is being used by a program.
I got MSI Trio stock setting no adjustments at all and it goes around 1800-1935mhz and temp around 70-76 in a closed case but when I tried to OC using afterburner core volt and temp limit to max, core clock to 75, mem clock 400 but can't get pass over 2010mhz but not crashing. I use Kombustion to benchmark but it's not hitting 2000mhz and when I game barely hit 2010mhz. Am I doing it wrong? I reinstall msi version the same as yours as well
I was curious if you, or perhaps anyone here, who has a strix 3080 - on performance mode shoukd the fans not spin at idle? Seems they’re alwys on unless I switch to silent
For some reason, I can run the heavy bench marks fine at + 125 on CC and + 300 memory , but actually lower load games would crash - with error when Nvidia driver stopped responding. Maybe it has to do with my GPU actually clocking higher on th lower power draw apps. Cant get my head around this. Forgot to add top clock it ever went to was 2077 , in game. Bench marks usually sit at around 2050 / 2040
AFTERBURNER STOPPED WORKING With 457.09 driver. i loaded new driver last night off gforce. and the latest beta 4.6.3 afterburner. customer fan not working shows 0 rpm even though set to higher. it does kick on at somepoint during bench but no idea the curve...can anyone confirm. 4.6.3 worked fine with the previous driver...????
RedOneMonster nvidia was not beta....also the beta afterburner was first release to work with 30 series correctly. It did anyway with the 1st 2 official drivers
I've got the ZOTAC rtx 3080 trinity OC and pushed the core clock to +160 in msi afterburner. But I don't like the temperature. It goes all the way to 74°C with the fan curve on auto. Setting the fan curve more aggressive will bring the temps down, but over 65% makes the card quite a bit too noisy for my taste...
Don't worry about it. Its more of a FOMO thing. Doesn't do much of anything for performance increase for 99% of users. Not like the older generations. NVIDIA Boost pretty much takes care of it.
Thanks for the video - well explained! However I've got a couple of questions: 1) Why wouldn't someone just run that automatic core clock graph analyser thing instead of having a fixed number across all voltages? Did the automatic scan give you a higher number than 30? (or does the auto scan always give you a lower, safer value?) 2) Is there any reason to generally NOT set core voltage and power limits as high as they can go? 3) I've ordered a Strix OC 3090 - which comes pre overclocked - does that mean they have already set good values for all the above OOTB, or can it go even higher (ignoring LN2 etc)?
Lets see: 1) I think the Auto Scanner is better. Or it was for the Turing cards, but in the current beta it is given me errors when scanning a RTX 3080. 2) Temperatures? More Power = More heat generated. In some circumstances like a small case or lack of airflow, you actually might see a performance drop over stock from increasing the power limit due to extra heat generated being trapped in the case and lowering the boost clock speed. 3) That Strix is a really nice card. "Pre Overclocked" or OCed models just have a higher base boost clock speed over the Non-OC models. So if you don't change any of the values yourself, it will preform better than say a Founders or Non-OC card. But once you do the settings manually, the OC and Non-OC are the same. Some say they are "pre-binned" higher, but I don't 100% believe that for every partner card... The Voltage and Power Target are the same as the Non-OC Strix. At 100% (default) it is 390 Watts. The slider should up to 480 Watts or 123%. ASUS has been pretty good at keeping the top-tier silicon for the Strix models, so I would say you can go higher than most other cards. That is until you hit the Voltage or Power Limit. You can by-pass those if your physically modify the card. Not many are willing to do that.
@@overclockersclub Thank you for the reply - appreciate it! Hopefully the auto scanner tool will be fixed over the next month or so - that will make a lot of amateur overclockers lives like myself so much easier :-) The main issue of course with the Strix is that it's basically unavailable lol - if I still don't have it by the time the BigNavi cards are available, I'm happy to switch if they have something faster - not long to wait till their announcement!
I go with whatever is the fastest in my price range. Though NVIDIA has been much better in the drivers departments supporting new games for years now. Just my observation :)
My asus RTX 3080 TUF OC can do +150 on the core and +300 memory. No issues at all and temp won’t go higher than 65. I wonder if that’s what most people are getting on that particular model. It seems too good to be true.
I have a 3080 FE and have been trying to overclock. I seem to get crashes before I get FPS drop when increasing the memory speed. My FPS continues to increase even past +1000MHz but it causes crashes around 1100. I have tried in games and heaven to change the mem clock and see effects on FPS. It is always better at +1000MHz. Have I just been incredibly lucky or am I missing something here? I go to a demanding area and then increase from 0 by 100 each time. You see the FPS drop down and bounce back up higher and stay higher... Core clock is +135 stable. I keep the fans fixed at 60 for the one on the right and 55 for the one on the left. I have my case fans fixed also at the max RPM that I can tolerate the noise level. I am getting an average of ~18700 graphics score in timespy.
Way to high! Even big dog OCer with LN2 can't go above 800+. You can usually get a few runs in before the memory heats up, but under normal use 400+ is more normal. Either way overclocking the memory has very little benefit outside of benchmarks. GDDR6X is incredibly fast, nearly HBM2 bandwidth.
@@overclockersclub Thanks for the reply! I am still not able to reproduce what you are saying. I just ran Heaven for over an hour. I ran it on max settings at 4k windowed mode. By the end the memory junction temp was between 94-96 degrees celsius. With HWinfo showing 98 max. I then fixed the camera on one part of the scene and tried different memory clocks from 0 up to 1000 with 100 increments. I was still getting ~3 fps more with +1000. I then ran the Heaven benchmark feature (so it was still nice and hot) - I got 1661 with 0 memory clock and 1708 with + 1000 memory clock. Could you please point me to some info on those using LN2 and maxing the clock at +800. Could it be that its because their core clock is so much higher??

Watch Jay2cents, GamersNexus, Kingin or the bearded guy (forgot his name) LN2 sessions on YT. In any case, without LN2 at this super low temps the memory is just not stable. Because NVIDIA has CRC checks in the GDDR6X memory, you can have a bad overclock and still not crash.
i have gaming x trio on the way and im planning to do a new build with a 5900x once it's out, if i OC the gpu will i be okay with a 750w psu? Or should i look at 850w minimum?
The video card will 100% draw 340 watts underload. The BIOS is limited to 346~ watts. Add 150 for the CPU and MB. So that is 500~ watts. I would grab a wall meter just for a piece of mind. You should be fine though. Make sure to use a quality power supply. Don't want to use a no-name brand with expensive hardware.
@@overclockersclub Thanks so much for the reply and the advice! I was looking at the NZXT C series 750W Gold. I would also add a 240mm aio for the cpu, so maybe i should go the 850?

Increase clock speed and test. Then increase again and test. Keep doing that until it gets worse and go back to best speed. And in games vs synthetic benchmarks, lower clocks until cs go is stable. Not sure why this is hard to understand.

I believe that CPU has a safety of 100c before it thermal throttles. Technically the longevity of the CPU will degrade faster the higher the temps are. I abused my fair share of CPUs over the years and by the time they degrade enough to not keep a decent overclock its 5+ years later. So in short, temps are not great for the CPU, but if your not heavy overclocking, it is fine.
@@overclockersclub ahh ok that distressed me a bit I think I just got scared do to my friends saying there running 30 to 50c and the gpu are higher so I’m pretty much the opposite and they were say I’m not fully using my 2060s because my cpu is doing all the work
I don't know about your friends saying your not fully using the GPU, the i7 9700 is no slouch. The GPU temps depend on a number of things. Utilization, Power, Cool Style and room temps. I think my 2060 SUPER Founders stays within the low 60s. Also the GPU safety is 88 by default and can be raised to 92c. The GPU die will get damaged at 96c~.

Thank you. This answerd a question I've had for a while. On why my benchmarks would run in 4k but would crash at 1080p. So when stress testing its better to do it at 1080p?
From my understanding of how NVIDIA Boost works, it is simply that at 1920x1080 the GPU isn't fully utilized in most games due to being CPU-Bound for the RTX 3080. Therefore the Boost will be higher than say when the GPU is fully stressed out. So in theory playing a game or using a benchmark that 100% stresses the GPU at 1080 should be the same as 4K. Though I found flaws to this explanation. Because 3DMark Timespy will crash, but Extreme will not. I only has a working theory, sorry I can't provide a solid answer.
I bought the most expensive 3080 here. Aorus xtreme, and I just got super unlucky with the silicon lottery. It can do around 2070mhz in cod cw without crashing... Anything over that and I crash. +My gddr6x temps are almost 100°c while gaming. That is pretty bad in my opinion

Honestly, I recommend undervolting. Same idea as OC as he mentions but going the other way. As in, instead of hitting your max boost clock at, 1.1V, you can tell it to hit max boost clock at 0.9V.
@@mannyfresh7065 i have done that and also, a fixed voltage, after boost. It maintains 1850-1900 in heavy games. Enough for me (play at 1440p), the good is that usually the card does not reach 324 Watts(max a have seen with my undervolting+overclock), overs between 270 to 290 Watts. Fixed at 0.875V with an +150 Mhz, power limited at 100 and 83ºc. Also, i think o got lucky with the card, Hot spot max +6ºc compared with gpu temp.

@ 20:07 your core voltage goes from 0-100% and you don't say a word about it. Thats the whoooooole reason I wasted my time watching this vid and writing this comment. Please update the vid!!
@Ben Maillet I have explained multiple times throughout the video that the core voltage slider does nothing on Ampere. Even at 0% (slider) the GPU voltage will peak upwards of 1.096v (which is the limit without special XOC BIOS). Some people report this slider giving them a boost in clock speed, but from my testing of a dozen cards or so, it does absolutely nothing that I have observed. It is a relic of pre RTX generation. I just set it to 100% out of habit.
He explained In the very beginning that this slider on 30 series doesn’t seem to do anything and also mentioned he had another video. Gamers Nexus also confirmed this slider is a placebo effect.
My past self saw the future and left it in just for you. Knowing that some day you would make a pointless comment on a RUclips video about some application being "too loud" :)
Can i here repaste OC TIP again? may be so helpful. NV overclock is clearly dirty and shit. This is not insult only True. 1~2% performance increase and 4~50W increase power? Clearly trash and useless. Get nothing. thats not overclock. only way is shunting all R005 resistor include pci-e slot(if you pass, NV shit power ballance must decrease power by default), and open msi afterburner set after 1.093V all flat, push memory you want, disable window TDR. TDR disable after, computer stop is CRASH BY CORE, program crash is CRASH BY MEMORY. this is all firestrike world 1st 2060 recorder say. final tip, use x1 boost lock can on off gpu max min clock. this increase gpu stability and decrease idle power consumption. set power save mode by nv control panel. x1 use only gpu boost function. overclock use msi afterburner. if you follow this step all, you can use world high 0.1% performance can use with stable gaming. this is extreme helpful tip no one say. if you useful, push like.

Don't understand all the dislikes. This video is good. Yes, what TITANS_of_the_EARTH is saying in the top, pinned comment is true, but that don't make this video bad overall.
Even the fact that you record with a 2nd PC, so be able to capture crashes and so on, it's just that bit more you do for this video, which is great compared to other videos. Also you explain everything really well and in a good pace too.
Great video mate, fuck the dislikes!
Thanks buddy! Always someone going to be hating. That is just the internet.
Same card here, +180 in core and +1000 in memory to achieve 21 gbps totally stable after months of use and core never passes 60c and memory 90c.
Then i realized i was getting 7 more fps, just an 8% more and was not a game changer to me so i insted undervolted it
Most important point for Ampere is missing.
Open the Curve and LOWER the maximum clockspeed under the critical value of boostclock.
If your card runs in demanding games with max 2000mhz any didn't crash BUT in not demanding games the boost goes up to 2050 an crashes.
Lower the highest points of thd curve.
And that's it!
For example: if you card runs around 1900 and you ad +100 to core...and then open the curve crtl+F ...you will see the right end of the curve is the curve doesn't end at (1900+100) 2000mhz.
The graph goes perhaps up to 2100 at the right end.
Now you have to lower all points behind 2000mhz...
So your card nover boosts over 2000...and is stable.
Good addition people can try. You have been Pinned!
How can you see what your card runs at? all the way to the right I see 2055 mhz. And at 900mV I see 1830. at 1025MV 1995 mhz starts. Dunno what value to base on what you say..
I'm currently boosting to 2175 and perfectly stable?

Undervolting 3000 series cards is the best thing to do. You can significantly lower your power usage while maintaining near exact performance. These cards are known to not overclock well at all, but grant a huge efficiency boost from a simple undervolt. All current guides show really amazing results.
You must mean power target. You cannot go below 100% on the voltage slider for NVIDIA cards since Pascal days. AMD on the other hand, yeah its easy.
@@overclockersclub You can undervolt basically any gpu, but 3000 series cards see a much greater benefit than others. You could use most any brand software but msi afterburner is best imo. You can effectively reduce the voltage while maintaining the same boost clock. They can be almost reduced 100 watts while staying around stock performance.
@@zsookah3 do u have a link to a tutorial?
@@gio7753 There's a few useful videos that use MSI to do it. But a great one on undervolting the 3080 or 3090 is by "Optimum Tech", they also have an earlier video going more in depth on undervolting in general.
@@overclockersclub hey dude yeah it’s not the voltage slider. Rather, in an over simplified way, you pick a voltage you want (so I chose 925mV) and basically pick a frequency (1920Mhz) and have your curve basically plateau at this point (straight flat line from 0.925V to max voltage). This will force gpu to run at 0.925V instead of the 1.1V let’s say. People, including me, have been able to get same performance w ~100W less power and better thermals
great video. 2 years old but still relevant and very helpful for someone getting into it. Thanks man :)
Always curve settings is the best for core and find the most demanding game on ultra and that's the best way to set it up. The most demanding one which forces your GPU is a lot of current)
I did a +85 core +200 memory and capped voltage at .975 working well so far. 3080 12gb
It depends on a lot of factors like the power supply wattage , cooling, drivers etc. I recommend that you use 3DMark stress tests to test the stability of the overclock at your daily use resolution as it is the best indicator of the stability of your overclock. If you used msi afterburner OC scanner to get that overclock I recommend changing it as the latest version is currently bugged you might wanna use an older stable version until the app gets updated which might never happen.
It works well on everything except forza horizon 5 lol. I got tired of messing with uv stability and all. I just went up to +100 core +300mem +50volt ftw!!! Never gets over 75c during gaming

Really like that you cover all steps without any BS
You Rock!
Gaming stability not so good, crashes after 15/20 min in game. Need to fine-tune but no worries with this guide :D
One thing i don't think you mentioned was the fan curve. I currently own an 2070 rtx and using precision for example i can only go so high using the default curve. however default curve doesn't even seem to go above 60% fan speed so i use the preset for aggressive and then i'm able to run it more stable at like another 30mhz higher. Fan speed can make a huge difference. It may be beneficial to just manually set it to 100% for testing how far your card can go stable with 100% to see what it's capable of then back off as you feel you need and willing to compensate lower OC for lower noise etc.
True a 100% fan speed is helpful for some cards. Ones like the Founders Editions and Gaming X Trio stick to mid-70s without adjustment. Bring it to 100% and it drops to mid 60s. I didn't see a difference in clock speed like previous generations.
Great video! Thank you for the clear presentation of key information
I really enjoy your knowledge and relay of that information is easily understood. Thank you! I have a random question. I have a ROG Strix RTX 3080 ti OC. I’m just learning to oc it for the first time. Been using it for about a year and a half. Hoping to get a little higher frames on VR iracing. Anyways, my question is this. What power cables do you recommend from PSU to GPU? I had a hard time finding mine. Eventually I did, however they have a daisy chain coming off each one of the three that I don’t like. It just eats up space and isn’t clean looking. Do you have a link for the appropriate cables?
Thank you for this video. It was very informative and useful to me.
Learned a lot! Thanks. Time to experiment with my EVGA 3080 and DCS World.
My ASU’s tuf 3080 runs 170 core clock max draw 365w max temp 66,happy days :)
do you have the non oc version or oc version? also is the power limit in afterburner unlocked and how high can it go?
The TUF / TUF OC has the same power limit of 375 without shuntmod. You can flash the non-oc to OC BIOS if you want.
@@overclockersclub what would flashing the bios do? Would that just raise clock speeds? I could do that with msi afterburner right? Do the OC versions have better binned Chips? I assume the oc version can overclock better than non oc.
Flashing the RTX 3080 is risky right now. Not much information. I've read posts of people flashing the Strix BIOS to the TUF....Doesn't mean its stable or actually works. I don't have the cards to try it myself.
Flashing the BIOS is mainly for increasing the Power Target Limit. Or if your lazy and don't like to manual overclock, flashing it to the OC model will just give you a higher base clock speed.
Some companies do pre-bin the OC models, most do not and it is just luck of the draw that the OC model will "preform" better by overclocking higher.
@@kevivjun i have the non oc version and power limit in afterburner goes upto 117

Very Nice Bro Keep It Up
Fantastic video mate
17:49 also, it doesn't force increments of 15, it lets you set it at even 50, 100, 150...it didn't change when you typed in 50 or 55 either. and you said your memory limit was 400, and you raised it by factors of 100, neither of which are divisible by 15.
You can set a core offset of whatever you want in software, but the clock speed only adjusts in 15 MHz increments. So setting +50 would raise the frequency by +45.
The memory does not have this limitation and it will use whatever offset you input.
Very helpful video!
Hey, so I was looking for an standard value for the OC of the 3080 FE. Would you say that it's core power temp at max. And then memory 400 and core 30? That's the max? And all you get is like 2 fps maximum? Did I understand that correctly? So my take away would be that for 2fps I wouldn't bother OCing?
The EVGA FTW3 Ultra RTX 3080 is hands down the best overclocking 3080 card with its new 450W BIOS! It even beats the stock RTX 3090 in some situations.
I would agree but it's also one of the most expensive. If you into extreme overclocking the ASUS TUF is the best. Shunt mod + voltage mod will rock everything else for the price. But that means it will void the warranty.
@@overclockersclub yes I do agree, but I am not sure why in my area there is one store selling the ftw3 ultra for 250 dollars (aud) less than other stores, effectively making it cheaper than even the Asus tuf and eagle oc.

@@fofal wow that's amazing. Just be careful as you overclock further, it increases the chance of Coil Whine. Which is permanent after you get it.
Would I have to do this to increase my output resolution? Im using FTW3 and standard res is 3840x2160 looking to output 4096x2160
fyi little tip, since you seem to have a similar display as me. 4096x2160 isn't a native 16:9 aspect ratio, it's actually 17:9, which is a fantastic thing, because with that in mind, next time you are gaming on the display, try playing your game in 21:9, the letter boxing is minimal due to the native aspect ratio being 17:9 instead of 16:9, you would not think it would make such a difference, but it does, and if you are playing your games in 16:9, you should have pillar boxing on the sides of your image anyway, so doing it this way, instead of pillar boxing and a 16:9 aspect ratio, you get barely noticeable letter boxing, and you get a great experience. It's worth trying, especially if you are into AAA games, and if you sit a little too close to your display (for example, my 42-inch TV is 4 ft from my desk chair when you're supposed to only be 6 feet away. When I lay down in bed, and I'm a little further away, I play in 17:9 which most games will either not display in, or oddly, will only display in 17:9 when you select "auto aspect ratio", or the game will claim it is in 16:9, but it will really display in 17:9 OR the image will be ever so slightly stretched to fit the 17:9 display. I'm not sure if that sometimes happens, due to how minimally it would be stretching from 16-17) it feels more natural to play in 21:9 for me personally. It's like having a 40-inch ultrawide 4k and IDK why this isn't ever really spoken about
I have a 3080ti Ventus 3x OC
Is there any reason why my default curve would begin at 1200 and not 1400
Excellent video, very easy to follow and has great info. However I think undervolting is a better method to overclock. I ended up with 950mV at 2040mhz in all games and stress tests, while only hitting 68C on my founder’s edition. And it stays at 2040mhz more and doesn’t bounce around cause it stays at or under the 368W power limit. Maybe you could do another video on that?

Benefits of overclocking is simple. More performance for free. But I would be careful with that configuration. It it really close to what my test Intel system is. Overclocking that 10900K to 5.1Ghz All-Core 1.275v hits 330 watts under stress test. The MSI 3080 Trio is 350. Those two alone will be 680 Watts.

The 210mhz is idle because the card is not being used in any way. Every generation is different for the idle clock frequency but it seems your GPU is being used by a program.

Don't worry about it. Its more of a FOMO thing. Doesn't do much of anything for performance increase for 99% of users. Not like the older generations. NVIDIA Boost pretty much takes care of it.
Install MSI Afterburner Beta. The stable release doesn't have it yet.
Not that it matters, but you were at 100% power limit the whole time and then when you crashed at 22:45 you upped it for the first time :p
That's the magic of editing :)
Thanks for the video - well explained!
However I've got a couple of questions:
1) Why wouldn't someone just run that automatic core clock graph analyser thing instead of having a fixed number across all voltages? Did the automatic scan give you a higher number than 30? (or does the auto scan always give you a lower, safer value?)
2) Is there any reason to generally NOT set core voltage and power limits as high as they can go?
3) I've ordered a Strix OC 3090 - which comes pre overclocked - does that mean they have already set good values for all the above OOTB, or can it go even higher (ignoring LN2 etc)?
Lets see:
1) I think the Auto Scanner is better. Or it was for the Turing cards, but in the current beta it is given me errors when scanning a RTX 3080.
2) Temperatures? More Power = More heat generated. In some circumstances like a small case or lack of airflow, you actually might see a performance drop over stock from increasing the power limit due to extra heat generated being trapped in the case and lowering the boost clock speed.
3) That Strix is a really nice card. "Pre Overclocked" or OCed models just have a higher base boost clock speed over the Non-OC models. So if you don't change any of the values yourself, it will preform better than say a Founders or Non-OC card. But once you do the settings manually, the OC and Non-OC are the same. Some say they are "pre-binned" higher, but I don't 100% believe that for every partner card...
The Voltage and Power Target are the same as the Non-OC Strix. At 100% (default) it is 390 Watts. The slider should up to 480 Watts or 123%.
ASUS has been pretty good at keeping the top-tier silicon for the Strix models, so I would say you can go higher than most other cards. That is until you hit the Voltage or Power Limit. You can by-pass those if your physically modify the card. Not many are willing to do that.
@@overclockersclub Thank you for the reply - appreciate it! Hopefully the auto scanner tool will be fixed over the next month or so - that will make a lot of amateur overclockers lives like myself so much easier :-)
The main issue of course with the Strix is that it's basically unavailable lol - if I still don't have it by the time the BigNavi cards are available, I'm happy to switch if they have something faster - not long to wait till their announcement!
I go with whatever is the fastest in my price range. Though NVIDIA has been much better in the drivers departments supporting new games for years now. Just my observation :)
My asus RTX 3080 TUF OC can do +150 on the core and +300 memory. No issues at all and temp won’t go higher than 65. I wonder if that’s what most people are getting on that particular model. It seems too good to be true.
I’m getting the asus tuf 3080 non oc version, do you think that would be the same for overclocking
@@stickboy8219 yes it should be exactly the same.
@@IsaandAli noice 👍 I was thinking they should be the same mate there both exactly the same apart from the oc
You can actually flash it to the OC version....shh don't tell ASUS :)
@@overclockersclub do you think a 750w will be fine for overclocking the cpu and gpu or should I get 850w
I have a 3080 FE and have been trying to overclock. I seem to get crashes before I get FPS drop when increasing the memory speed. My FPS continues to increase even past +1000MHz but it causes crashes around 1100. I have tried in games and heaven to change the mem clock and see effects on FPS. It is always better at +1000MHz. Have I just been incredibly lucky or am I missing something here?
I go to a demanding area and then increase from 0 by 100 each time. You see the FPS drop down and bounce back up higher and stay higher...
Core clock is +135 stable.
I keep the fans fixed at 60 for the one on the right and 55 for the one on the left. I have my case fans fixed also at the max RPM that I can tolerate the noise level. I am getting an average of ~18700 graphics score in timespy.
Way to high! Even big dog OCer with LN2 can't go above 800+. You can usually get a few runs in before the memory heats up, but under normal use 400+ is more normal. Either way overclocking the memory has very little benefit outside of benchmarks. GDDR6X is incredibly fast, nearly HBM2 bandwidth.
@@overclockersclub Thanks for the reply!
I am still not able to reproduce what you are saying.
I just ran Heaven for over an hour. I ran it on max settings at 4k windowed mode.
By the end the memory junction temp was between 94-96 degrees celsius. With HWinfo showing 98 max.
I then fixed the camera on one part of the scene and tried different memory clocks from 0 up to 1000 with 100 increments. I was still getting ~3 fps more with +1000.
I then ran the Heaven benchmark feature (so it was still nice and hot) - I got 1661 with 0 memory clock and 1708 with + 1000 memory clock.
Could you please point me to some info on those using LN2 and maxing the clock at +800. Could it be that its because their core clock is so much higher??
EDIT: Just ran timespy for 0-1000 and got the following with 100 increments. I know this is not with the heat levels but this should be covered by the heaven stuff above.:
0: 18 483
100: 18 554
200: 18 566
300: 18 568
400:18 580

600:18 659
700:18 696
800:18 751
900: this one didn't upload for some reason
1000: 18 787
EDIT 2: I thought I would try the heaven test once more. Again ran it for an hour first to ensure everything was as hot as it was going to get.
+mem : Heaven benchmark score
200: 1667
400: 1685

Watch Jay2cents, GamersNexus, Kingin or the bearded guy (forgot his name) LN2 sessions on YT. In any case, without LN2 at this super low temps the memory is just not stable. Because NVIDIA has CRC checks in the GDDR6X memory, you can have a bad overclock and still not crash.
Haha love the video 🔥 how would this work with my asus rog strix rtx 2060 super advanced 8gb?
i have gaming x trio on the way and im planning to do a new build with a 5900x once it's out, if i OC the gpu will i be okay with a 750w psu? Or should i look at 850w minimum?
The video card will 100% draw 340 watts underload. The BIOS is limited to 346~ watts. Add 150 for the CPU and MB. So that is 500~ watts. I would grab a wall meter just for a piece of mind. You should be fine though. Make sure to use a quality power supply. Don't want to use a no-name brand with expensive hardware.
@@overclockersclub Thanks so much for the reply and the advice! I was looking at the NZXT C series 750W Gold. I would also add a 240mm aio for the cpu, so maybe i should go the 850?
I have a Corsair HX850 in my AMD test system. Though I just swapped it out for a 1000 Watt Seasonic Prime and put that 850 into my workstation. Still 750-850 is a good place to be without overspeading.
please tell me something, how to properly test vram overclock stability/performance until it shows worse numbers? software? i am using +1500 on the memory (copper modded), timespy runs great and score is higher but it crashes in csgo lol so this error correction is getting me doubt performance numbers on synthetics benches. HELP
Increase clock speed and test. Then increase again and test. Keep doing that until it gets worse and go back to best speed. And in games vs synthetic benchmarks, lower clocks until cs go is stable. Not sure why this is hard to understand.
@@pf100andahalf its not, but i need to be on 4k to notice a difference in vram oc/fps so yeah
@@pav1u 4k seems to need more vram bandwidth than lower resolutions so that's why that's happening. It's mentioned in the video to make it so it's stable and faster at all resolutions.

Isaiah Here- You can email me, though the OCC forums might be quicker to get a reply. I'm only 1 person.
Hey man off topic you seem pretty damn helpful sooooo I got my intel i7 9700 with a 2060 super but I’ve noticed my cpu temp is around 75 to 85 and gpu is low on the 50s I mean the stock fan looks cheap so should I upgrade cooler or it’s something else making my cpu so hot any ideas I just switched over into pc so I’m pretty noob
I believe that CPU has a safety of 100c before it thermal throttles. Technically the longevity of the CPU will degrade faster the higher the temps are. I abused my fair share of CPUs over the years and by the time they degrade enough to not keep a decent overclock its 5+ years later. So in short, temps are not great for the CPU, but if your not heavy overclocking, it is fine.
@@overclockersclub ahh ok that distressed me a bit I think I just got scared do to my friends saying there running 30 to 50c and the gpu are higher so I’m pretty much the opposite and they were say I’m not fully using my 2060s because my cpu is doing all the work
I don't know about your friends saying your not fully using the GPU, the i7 9700 is no slouch. The GPU temps depend on a number of things. Utilization, Power, Cool Style and room temps. I think my 2060 SUPER Founders stays within the low 60s. Also the GPU safety is 88 by default and can be raised to 92c. The GPU die will get damaged at 96c~.
@@overclockersclub thank you very much for your advice, I tried running on cooler room temperature in room and was much better will be investing in a better cpu fan soon
whats the program thats running on the upper left during the timespy benchmark
That's the MSI Afterburner overlay covered in the beginning of the video.
Ultimate
i just got a rog strix non-oc. how do i make it perform as if it were an oc version? i have an asrock x570 taichi. never really overclocked before.
Just because your card doesn’t say oc on the box doesn’t mean you can’t overclock it man
for some reason i cant even after enabling it in settings control my core voltage its still greyed out
No worries, It doesn't do anything for Ampere GPU as far as I can tell. At least not on Air or Water.
@@overclockersclub thx for response I just fixed it
@@overclockersclub I had wrong version of afterburner
if you up only powerlimit and not touching voltage it gives some boost?
Yes and in fact the same amount. Voltage control is a relic of past generations. It doesn't do anything I can tell with Turing and Ampere cards. At least not on air-cooling.
@@overclockersclub ur wrong, 100 means you have 100 more mili volts to play with, in a load like superposition it matters because you are not power limited on a 450watts limit card.
I think you lost the silicon lottery, I’ve pushed my gaming x trio 3080 to +225mhz stable on the core, and +300 mem seems to be the sweet spot as going to 200 or 400 drops my score
Eh the core clock is much more useful. Not much is lost if you have a low mem clock
@@overclockersclub yeah ik that’s why I tried to push core the most, this generation the memory clock u can max it out and loose performance, I just included the +300mhz on mem cuz it gives me like half a frame, but the +225 on core seems good, tried to push it to +239 but at that point it becomes a hit or miss and usually crashes. Oddly enough this overclock pushed me into 3090 territory with my card beating out some 3090 results (which I’m guessing were ran with stock cuz I doubt 3080 overclocked could match 3090 overclocked lol) idk if I just got super lucky with my card but from the tests I’ve done in msi Kombustor I seem to have a decent lead over others with 3080s (5328 points on msi-1 @1440) with from what I’ve seen seen on that bench marks 3090s are getting 5200-5396 on the same test and resolution
380?
Thank you. This answerd a question I've had for a while. On why my benchmarks would run in 4k but would crash at 1080p. So when stress testing its better to do it at 1080p?
From my understanding of how NVIDIA Boost works, it is simply that at 1920x1080 the GPU isn't fully utilized in most games due to being CPU-Bound for the RTX 3080. Therefore the Boost will be higher than say when the GPU is fully stressed out. So in theory playing a game or using a benchmark that 100% stresses the GPU at 1080 should be the same as 4K. Though I found flaws to this explanation. Because 3DMark Timespy will crash, but Extreme will not. I only has a working theory, sorry I can't provide a solid answer.
@@overclockersclub so are you saying benchmarking should be done in 1080p for comparison purposes?
I bought the most expensive 3080 here. Aorus xtreme, and I just got super unlucky with the silicon lottery. It can do around 2070mhz in cod cw without crashing... Anything over that and I crash. +My gddr6x temps are almost 100°c while gaming. That is pretty bad in my opinion
The GDDR6X gets toasty for sure.
Sounds like you need more case airflow.
@@baddog9188 No, that's not the problem. My case flow and temps are fine. The problem is caused by bad thermal pads in the card. Gigabyte 30xx cards are known for shitty thermal pads. I just dont want to replace them because it would void the warranty.
@@RealLagu my 2080 ti aorus was an rma case, thermal paste fail. never buying aorus gpu again. my new asus rtx 3080 strix oc white doesn't have any problems.

Makes it sense to oerclock a 3080 oc card?
Might as well.
Honestly, I recommend undervolting. Same idea as OC as he mentions but going the other way. As in, instead of hitting your max boost clock at, 1.1V, you can tell it to hit max boost clock at 0.9V.
@@mannyfresh7065 i have done that and also, a fixed voltage, after boost. It maintains 1850-1900 in heavy games. Enough for me (play at 1440p), the good is that usually the card does not reach 324 Watts(max a have seen with my undervolting+overclock), overs between 270 to 290 Watts. Fixed at 0.875V with an +150 Mhz, power limited at 100 and 83ºc. Also, i think o got lucky with the card, Hot spot max +6ºc compared with gpu temp.

@@socialrush1844 check your fps. I guarantee it's lower with +1000 on memory than it is stock. Memory performs differently on Ampere than any other Nvidia card. It won't crash, well it might, but it won't give artifacts. It will just correct the faults in real time and run slower

@Ben Maillet I have explained multiple times throughout the video that the core voltage slider does nothing on Ampere. Even at 0% (slider) the GPU voltage will peak upwards of 1.096v (which is the limit without special XOC BIOS). Some people report this slider giving them a boost in clock speed, but from my testing of a dozen cards or so, it does absolutely nothing that I have observed. It is a relic of pre RTX generation. I just set it to 100% out of habit.

Clearly trash and useless. Get nothing. thats not overclock. only way is shunting all R005 resistor include pci-e slot(if you pass, NV shit power ballance must decrease power by default), and open msi afterburner set after 1.093V all flat, push memory you want, disable window TDR. TDR disable after, computer stop is CRASH BY CORE, program crash is CRASH BY MEMORY. this is all firestrike world 1st 2060 recorder say. final tip, use x1 boost lock can on off gpu max min clock. this increase gpu stability and decrease idle power consumption. set power save mode by nv control panel. x1 use only gpu boost function. overclock use msi afterburner. if you follow this step all, you can use world high 0.1% performance can use with stable gaming. this is extreme helpful tip no one say. if you useful, push like.
