2070 Super overclocking thread

[Psycho Sonny]

First things first this is for peak performance - not peak overclock.

For example I've just started overclocking my 2070 super. RAM only at the moment and my results are as per below. Once i get peak RAM performance I will then do the core.

Stock - Graphics Score 10,385
+100 - Graphics Score 10,377
+200 - Graphics Score 10,286
+300 - Graphics Score 10,440
+400 - Graphics Score 10,485
+500 - Graphics Score 10,465
+600 - Graphics Score 10,473
+700 - Graphics Score 10,525
+800 - Graphics Score 10,536
+900 - Graphics Score 10,565
+1000 - Graphics Score 10,568
+1050 - Graphics Score 10,608
+1100 - Graphics Score 10,576

I'm about to try +300 mhz on the memory now. If it's less than 10286 then should I even bother trying higher speeds or leave it on stock? I might try up to 500 for a laugh.

Then I will move onto core overclocking and test the same. However with only +25 increases.

I'm not entirely convinced +1000 is stable going to test +1100 and see what happens. Otherwise I'm going back down to +900

+900 - seems like a nice one to go with. Albeit +1050 seems better I'd rather just be safe than sorry.

+300 - Graphics Score 10,440

So +300 has made an increase in the score. Looks like I'll be going up to +1000 in 100 increments.

Whilst I agree multiple runs would be ideal. Personally I'm not that anal. I want to get as close to the best without spending 3 days overclocking.

edit:

+400 - Graphics Score 10,485

finally seeing some improvements now.

Has anyone got a guide for simple undervolt?
Has been ages since I had nvidia card, an you used to be able to just apply voltage offset in afterburner.

unlink power and temp. then just stick power to 95%. that is usually the best limit IMO. you still get all the power. but the card runs cooler.

 

[Psycho Sonny]

settled on +55 on the core - it's already overclocked to begin with and +900 on the ram.

it's much more than a 2% boost

 

[Psycho Sonny]

Running my Gigabyte variant at +111 core and +1000 memory.

It boosts to 2100 at times, its up and down but mainly over 2000 @67 deg

Quite surprised that my 9 year old xenon [email protected] doesn't bottleneck it more, but it seems to run at not more than 60%CPU.

i can only get core to 2040 do you think it's because i have power limit at 95%?

this was my user benchmark. seems like it's running top notch

 

[Psycho Sonny]

Looks like its running well.

Here's mine by comparison.

yours is better due to higher core. both make a difference.

i'm running mine pretty much near the edge on core.

i wonder if going to 100% power limit will let me overclock the core more? i usually run 95% because it was better for my 1080. but maybe 2070 series is different?

 

[Psycho Sonny]

Push the power limit slider all the way to the right, 111% on mine, let the card run free and see what you get. Leave the under volting to the red team.

done

@Psycho Sonny which model did you get?

Got the Gamerock and does 16Gbps (+1000) on the RAM and the core just left to OC Scanner as not got a lot of time at the moment to tinker.

going to try this tool out too and use it with +900 mhz on the RAM. I got 1050 mhz to run on the ram but i could see an artifact whilst benching. might try 950 as a happy medium

 

[Psycho Sonny]

just set it as 1000, that's what I've done on mine, it blitz everything so I haven't pushed it any further lol

950 i was getting artifacts

https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/41640927?

that's it on max it can do.

i can only get +55 on core +60 it crashes. +900 on memory. funnily enough power limit has had zero effect. so i'm going to turn it back down to 95%.

I tried the oc scanner and it only gave me a boost of 45 on the core. so it was a decent overclock but slower than my manual one.

Core clock
2,025 MHz
Memory bus clock
1,975 MHz

What temps is your card hitting?

59C whilst playing csgo. otherwise it hits around 65C under bench

 

[Psycho Sonny]

As a test trying getting temps down to below 53c (maybe at 100% fan speed) and see what it automatically boosts to. The card might be able to push itself more with the lower temps as gpu boost 2.0 is very temp dependant.

i don't see the point of doing that tbh. if it will only boost at 100% fan speed i'd rather stick with what i have.

Does csgo even stress a 2070 super? Isn’t it engine locked at 300fps, which is child’s play for the card.

What’s the utilisation like during a run?

You can use max_fps 0 to unlock the fps. I get 300-500 fps.

It doesn't stress the card too much I'll need to try apex legends and see what temps I get.

What is everyone using to test their overclocks? I think I have 3D mark free on steam


ill give it a try, ty

What is everyone using to test their overclocks? I think I have 3D mark free on steam

I'm using 3D Mark.

I settled on +45 on the core, +850 on the ram and 95% power limit.

The max that is stable is +55 and 950 so I took a bit off just to be safe. There is no need to run it at max. There will be zero difference in game between the both of them.

My card is already overclocked out the box too.

I tried overvolting and never got any more out the card than I did with my small undervolt. So it seems like it is running at it's full potential and it's the silicone that is the main factor rather than voltage or heat.
