To undervolt? To overclock

[Cavallino]

Folks, Ive read a few articles about undervolting...
Am I right in saying the advantage of undervolting is basically achieving lower power usage?
And consequently allowing the GPU to boost by itself to a higher clock?

What is the rule of thumb about undervolting?

Can an undervolt be used + an overclock?

Yeah, I have my 3080 running at 2000Mhz and +1000 memory at 925v. It is 100% stable on benchmarks, games, RTX, and everything you can think of.

Cheers, would you mind showing the voltage graph you used to undervolt?
Whats GPU boost?

Here you go

GPU boost doesnt work when you do that with the voltage curve, so you have to target the speed you want to achieve, with the voltage you want the card to run, and flat line it after that.

Cheers bud, will do , how do you get MSI to show your GPU voltage there? It doesnt appear on mine for some reason

If you have a 3000 series card besides enabling Voltage Control + Voltage Monitoring on the Settings, you have to get version 4.6.3 Beta 4. Once you do press Ctrl + F

Cheers, will check this out.

Incidentally I am not sure why when I alter the GPU/voltage graph, and click apply I dont get a straight like, it still steps up a little towards the higher voltages....

It will happen sometimes, it takes a couple of tries until it stays where you want. If by any chance it messes up the graph you can press the standard Undo command ( Ctrl + Z ) and it will revert the changes so you dont have to start from 0 again.
