I havent overclocked a card before so im not sure what kind of mhz i should be expecting out of this card .

I watched a youtube tutorial vid on how to do it and have a basic understanding of what it is i need to do.

I have msi afterburner and rivatuner , before i started to overclock the card i ran valley for roughly a minute to see what i was getting from the card and it said 1911mhz.

This to me seems like a high number and im sure it could go higher, but what is it i should be looking to achieve and what would be a number i should not try to go beyond?
 
Depends on the card (chip quality) and it's cooling. A lot of users have anywhere between 2000-2200mhz.

I remember one of my old cards boosting to 1911 which would overclock to 2101mhz 24/7 and slightly above with a bit of extra voltage.

I trying it out now and iv got 2100 with +235mhz and +35 voltage , its a bit jumpy but i want to see how long it can go for before fully crashing , then ill up the volts another 5 and so on. But if it doesnt get better ill put it back to 230clock and 35volts.
 
It normally boosts consistently to about 1950ish mhz but when adding mhz and voltage in MSI afterburner, the card sees it more as a suggestion rather than what it actually does. I even tried locking it to 1.093v but it just dropped back to whatever it felt like without rhyme or reason.
 
haha, yeah it is a bit random sometimes. mine will start at 1.093 but drop to the 1.08x level reasonably quickly. they need a higher power/voltage/whatever limit
 
I'd love a manual mode via an alternate bios or something that turns off GPU boost and allows for locking voltage. My last card was a GTX Titan that had exactly that but it was an unofficial 3rd party bios - of course it had a power limit of 900W and you could set voltage to something like 2v via console commands but I wouldn't need that.

especially under water, mine doesn't break 45c even with the fans on silent, just volt limited for higher clocks :(

I run my 1080TI FE at:
120% Power
+125 core
+250 RAM

BF1 I see 1925-1950MHz core.

wrong card ;)
 
The way GPU 3.0 works heat is bad. Essentially if it gets hot it will throttle the card and downclock it. What you want to do is undervolt the card and give it a slight overclock. No point in overclocking by 300mhz on the core if it will simply downclock by 200mhz due to heat.

Voltage causes heat.

So in essence people are finding undervolting overall gives you the biggest performance boost as you stay at a higher speed for longer.

Undervolting is also good for your whole system and the card. So it's a win win type situation with no downsides.

How on earth do you undervolt ..?

Afterburner has an increase only option on mine .. ?

Or am I being really stupid?

You want to use the graph to do it. I think once your in afterburner you press CTRL & F. this opens up a new pop up and you control it all from in there. Lots of guides on reddit, youtube, etc. Just google "1080 undervolt reddit".

Oh OK i'll have a look into it ty :)

i didn't want to spend years tweaking, etc. so i just went in did a small undervolt and a small overclock. i looked at everyone else's settings from multiple reddit posts and figured out what the average was for volts and speeds achieved on a certain voltage and i just used their undervolt voltage but with a lower core clock. it's been 100% stable. my card runs a lot cooler and tiny bit faster. you can't complain about that.

if you try and overclock with upping voltage your essentially going to end up running at a slower speed when it gets throttles so whilst you get more speed to begin with overall your slower when it averages out.

i could possibly post a screenshot of mine when i'm home but mine is a founders edition and like i say i haven't spent hours doing it just 5 mins to make it run cooler. i didn't want maximum speed however the best way to get max speed is by undervolting and tweaking until it's no longer stable then backing off.
 
At the moment I can sustain about 2100 on my watercooled FE, I used a custom curve. Sits at about 40 degrees. :)

Not tried undervolting it, might give that a go tonight.

no point for you as your watercooling it.

heat is the enemy. by watercooling you have solved that issue. it's people on air that get better results undervolting as volts = heat
 
Yeah had a go, didn't make a difference though I think I ended up with same clocks at slightly lower voltage. 2100 seems to be my max on this card.:)
