Looking to OC my GTX 1080

Hello

I'm looking to OC my GTX 1080, I've overclocked CPU's before through the bios but just never really bothered with overclocking my GPU's, but upon announcment of the 3xxx series and since I'm buying the 3080 I've decided to give OCing my current GPU a shot and see what I can do.

It's an EVGA FTW (not FTW2) card, JayTwoCents has a video on overclocking pascal cards using Precision XOC, I've tried following it but I wont lie I'm struggling to really understand it and follow what he's doing, he's doing it by using the "OC Scan" option via curves. Is there a simpler way to do it, maybe by just using the sliders on the home screen of XOC where you can adjust Power target, temp target, GPU offset and Memory offset? Or is his way the best way, should I just sit down and watch the video again?

Thanks

Just watched a video showing how to OC with afterburner, looks way simpler than what Jay done, or maybe he just explained it better.

Using afterburner on an EVGA card will be fine won’t it? Even though Precision XOC is official EVGA software.

Brilliant thanks @BriT , I’ll give it a go

Well.. that was extremely underwhelming lol

GPU: 50
MEM: 200

I wasn’t expecting much but compared to everyone else’s I’ve seen that is pitiful.. oh well

And yeah you were right brit, afterburner is way better and easier to use
