Unigine Heaven 4 benchmark

My first ever overclock. :)

Score 4565, GPU 2080 Ti @ 1800/2055, CPU 10980XE @ 3.0, Coojeekitten

nice keep going on the core, i'd say you should be good up to 2ghz if your temps remain cool enough, from there though it's up to you, it may go more, increases of around 20mhz will be good and if you notice any artifacting or glitching back off 50mhz and call it a day :)

Thanks, I'll do some more playing, I can see it can be addictive!

I set a max temp of 85C for the GPU. However I forgot to change my fan curves. I think if I'd had left the case fans at 100% for 20 mins I'd have got a cooler GPU.

Very!
85c is quite warm but fine for benchmarking. I believe max temp is 89c but you can't break new GPUs by overclocking, even when overvolting. I asked EVGA and even overvolting does not harm them
Fan curve, i have mine a straight line from 45c@30% fan to 80c@100% fan. Stops it constantly turning on and off, quiet for desktop operation and ramps up quick if needed
 
Guest2... was trying to get close to your result bud Im just a few hairs away :)
We have similar rigs but you got that lovel 4790k as opposed to my 4770k.

Incidentally do you guys change the fan curve for your cards? I cant help but feel my card doesnt really want to spin up the fans?
Im running at 76C and worried thats a tad hot sometimes, unless I kick in my case fans and it gets down to 70C.

my cards under water, but the fans on the rad ram up to around 1600rpm when the card gets going, max temp i see is 49 degrees :)

Try this curve (below)
76c is fine, don't worry. It will throttle down if it starts getting too hot. I've had mine up to 87c.
Warranty covers overclocking and even over volting and volt mods on the hardware. Short of taking a blowtorch to your card, you'll be covered

I have no clue how fast 1600 is in comparison to what I have. Is it quiet?

Basically you think I should change the curve?

Is MSI afterburners best place to do this?

i'd say change the curve for benchmarking purposes, the cooler the hardware the better for sustained higher boost clocks, don't worry about it being loud.
For everyday stuff and gaming the stock fan curve will be plenty, and yes msi afterburner is by far the best gpu utility for overclocking and setting up custom fan profiles :)

i run full custom watercooling in my rig and have noctua nf-a12 fans which are really quite at any rpm i set upto 1600rpm, i set 1600 as thats the best spot I've found for cooling vs noise under heavy load senario's, otherwise in games and windows between 1000-1250rpm is the norm

Is that running with GPU under load and overclocked?
Stock setting without overclock should boost to around 1800Mhz, with an overclock to ~2000Mhz. The specified boost overclock of ~1600Mhz on most cards is way under what they will actually boost to
Try GPU-Z and go into sensors and see what is reported as GPU clock as the highest value

The 1800 was created using the GPU Tweak OC Scanner. So I understand it's an auto overclock setting? The scanner toook about 10 minutes to run.

The sensors showed 2055 during the Heaven benchmarking.

GPU Tweak has a sort of dashboard where I can one click set to Gaming, Overclock or Silent. I can also create a user profile ewither manually or by running an Overclock Scanner. It is the overclock scanner which created the 1800 profile.

Makes sense, but 1800Mhz is incorrect. It will be running 2055 or around that. It may be max 2055 but only stay at that for a split second, maybe running 2040, 2025 or 2010Mhz for the duration of the benchmark. It depends what the temps if it steps down or not
I would recommend MSI Afterburner for monitoring instead

OK, I thought that why people put xxxx/xxxx for the set & upper speed?

I find the Asus software inconsistent & unstable. The fan software is awful. I'm worried though that if I install another brand it may mess everything up.

Not too sure where people report these values as there is no guidelines for overclock values if that makes sense. I personally report mine from MSI afterburner where its been that clock for the duration of the benchmark. In my case it was core @2040Mhz for most if not all of the benchmark and 4000Mhz memory (DDR - MSI Afterburner reporting 8000)

It may show peaks of 2085Mhz or whatever but its not at that if its only been that for 1 second!

Yes, I tried Asus software and it was unstable and generally crap. EVGA software was ok but not as good as MSI Afterburner which most I expect have been using for years

I't wont, just run Display driver uninstaller, then install driver only, then MSI Afterburner. It's not hard to break like the old days
