3070 Voltage Increase - Does it work?

[VortX]

Hi all,

Recently got a Gigabyte Aorus Master 3070 and tried overclocking. All seems well except the voltage control and monitoring. I have tried MSI Aterburner and Gigabyte Aorus Engine. If I set the voltage slider to 0% or 100% it changes nothing. Monitoring the voltage confirms the setting does nothing. The slider also has no effect on overclocking ability.

Any ideas? Is this normal? Should it work?

Thanks

Same card here, can't increase voltage beyond 1.087v

I tested a bit more and it’s a real strange one. It does have an effect but only on certain conditions. Basically ‘game load’. You won’t notice it idle and you won’t notice it benchmarking or stress testing but under certain conditions it will bump the volts up. Regardless, I found it to be mostly useless. My card hit a clock stability ceiling before adding voltage could help. If anything, I gained a few MHz by turning off the voltage control.

It's been like this since Pascal.

Sir, I am coming from a GTX 580... this is brand new to me . Interesting to see how things have changed though.
