NVIDIA RTX 50 SERIES - Technical/General Discussion

OC/UV makes no sense to me.

TO cut a long story short, I tried the profiles from both videos and while one boosted higher (2880 but pulling 560w on CP2077 bench), the second video which I've stuck with boosts max 2700 but spends more time at 2692 when I boosted memory to +2000, however it uses about 470w with about 2 fps difference. I was too focused on raising the gpu clock speed but seemingly this is the better option.

Oddly though, I've seen it at 3100+ on some old games.

I think the main benefit of undervolting is replicating or beating stock performance (as the core clock drops a bit under load) with much less power. The stock power profiles (without a shunt mod/XOC bios) drop the clocks fairly aggressively anyway with an overclock and higher power limit, for 0 benefit in games (which is my main concern.)

Yep, now I've put the stock stats up it is very obvious how poor the defaults are! I'll save the 100w cheers :)

Now I just need to remember how to do the same with my CPU because I accidentally cleared CMOS when trying to plug in a USB the other day lol.

Saves on fan noise as well

2827mhz/.895v +3000 memory (using afterburner mod) are the consensus best uv 5090 settings for an AIB board

Also cyberpunk uses way more power than any other game

Yeah I can't seem to hit above 2700 using that second video but that's ok. And I used CP2077 exactly for that reason as I don't have many games that would push the card.

I think it needs something stupid like under 100w to hit anywhere near 2827 mhz. It all scales with power though so better to be a bit lower and less power.

I'm 'only' using a 1000w ATX 2 PSU which may effect things, don't know, don't care either at this point lol. Even if the GPU pulled 600w I can't see the rest of the system filling up capacity at all, though I appreciate there's also the single rail delivery wotsit as well.
Never really understood it tbh, used to go overkill on PSU.

Unless you have a seriously power hungry cpu then I can’t see that affecting the GPU, especially with an undervolt. If you had like 500w going through the cpu then I would be concerned. That said, the newer or better quality ones are better at handling excursions.

These are my exact settings too. I’m not sure on the +3000 though, I started getting instability with no added performance in a handful of games, namely Helldivers 2, but that is also a really buggy game. Even on +3000 GPU-Z reports memory going no higher than 2175mhz.
 
Here's a table from Videocardz to make it easier to compare the rumoured cards, Raven linked yesterday, against existing ones...

Yeah it's very game dependent I've found. I barely got any extra performance as well from my overclock in Cyberpunk. So much so, that I just disabled it to bring power down a bit. You can try it on other games and will see slightly better results on stock vs overclocked. If you do experiment again with an overclock, try bringing the voltage curve down a bit as well because the default voltage curve is typically a fair bit higher than it needs to be. Additionally, the lower voltage will reduce power which may unlock more boost headroom. Again game dependent though.

Most other games I see around 5% gains and it's completely rock solid stability wise. Up to 7-8% in a handful. Whether that's worth it vs the power and heat is up to everyone individually but this forum is called Overclockers after all :D. Currently, mine typically boosts to 3150 MHz ish with my 24/7 profile but there's another 125 MHz available (up to 3275 MHz) but potentially that was not 100% stable at the top end. The drivers were so bad initially that I'm not really sure what were driver crashes and what was overclock instability. I've settled on this now but when it's winter may explore the limits a bit more again.

I have an AIO (can see you do too) and GPU core temps max out at 65c when it's roasting outside, in the 50s when I got it back in early Spring so the unit is excellent at keeping temps in a good window and getting the heat out the case.

When I load a new game, I typically have a look at what the power consumption is and that will determine if it warrants further investigation on if the overclock is worth it. So far - from what I've played - I've only disabled it in Cyberpunk. From memory, Indiana Jones also drew a **** tonne of power but that's on my 'to play' list so can't comment properly. I have joked on here many times about the heat from the radiator on this thing but Indiana Jones was next level. Front of the case was molten. Undervolting crew will scream: undervolt it!!!!!!!!! Tried that and the unit still cooks the front of the case (and subsequently my noggin), so just dealing with it and locked in for (close to) max performance :D

Just embarrassing, should be sub £200.

No Ti FE which is a shame as it’s probably the most desirable model for most people. No idea on FE for supers but since the 20 series NVIDIA have released FE supers…
