Two MSI 5070 Ti Trio OC that behave differently

[ywvlf]

hey guys!
how do you guys see this: me and my buddy both got the msi 5070 ti trio oc. when we compare the stock curve (in afterburner) it is obvious that one card has generally higher voltages per frequency.

So we have for example card1 900mv/2422Mhz, 960/2625 or 1075/2932 for the one
and
card2 900mv/2497Mhz, 960/2692Mhz or 1075/3007 for the other.

Would the latter gpu be the better one chip wise, since it needs lower voltages for the same clocks (as the other)?

Just trying to figure out the OC/UV game.

We ran benchmarks (e.g. 3DMark Steel Nomad) and card1 draws at the power limit of 300w (with 1025mv 2770mhz) while card2 just draws max 270w (with 980mv and 2700Mhz). Why is card2 not set up for max power draw from stock?

Can someone shed light on this?

BTW. I read somewhere that you can show the power limit via command line and reset it too. Does anyone know the exact commands?

Thanks everybody!

Yes, but there's not a lot in it.

Yes, but there's not a lot in it.

you mean mhz wise?


how can i ensure that my card (card 2) draws at least 300w. since this would be some performance gain, right?

why does it not automatically from stock draws to the limit? cause it gets to the desired performance with 270w too?

It is better day-to-day to have a die which needs less voltage, because it'll run cooler and use less power, but that's not necessarily better for the OC.

Okay, interesting. So it could be, that the other card (card1) is still better for overclocking?

It is possible, yeah.

Needing a lower voltage gives you the potential to hit higher clocks, because it may need less power and make less heat, but that's not always the limiting factor.

Overclocking will depend on a few things and while one of the cards may have a better clock to voltage ratio it may not have a better max clock before it crashes, the VRAM can also be overclocked and one card may also have a higher stable memory frequency.

okay thanks for your insight.

if we would try to figure that out: what would be the best course?

card1 runs 3dmark stock at 1.025v around 2780mhz.

if we apply oc/uv (985mv plus 500mhz) at card1 (the one with higher voltages) it actually runs around around 3145mhz (should be 3200mhz) at 975mv with 300-310w load when performing 3dmark steel nomad.

what do i learn from this? is this good?

sorry, trying to learn.


thanks again!!

Play some games check your stability. Also why have u not oced memory
