List of High Clock GPUs?

[Wirenfeldt Jr.]

Has anyone made a list of the highest clockable GPUs?

[BonPadre]

what do you mean.

The ones that scores the highest in benchmark ?

Or the ones that can be overclocked to a highest core frequency ?

If the latter, I usually go with the Zotac Minis, they tend to have a higher possible core OC than some of the same series (1060 / 1070 / 1080) that never failed me for those OC jobs

Now I don't mean that they score better.

I got a Watercooled GPU+CPU job that requires 2527 GHz and am starting to think that 2500+ is not actually doable..

[BonPadre]

try the main ones in freebuild, but indeed, if I'm not mistaken, it stops at 2400Mhz for GPU

[sockracer]

I really hope it doesn't, I've got the mission to water cool and overclock the GPU to 2433mhz

Is there a reason in layman's terms the 1060 can o/c much higher core clock speed than 1080?

Because it's how they coded the game? I own a 1080 Ti in one of my computers and GTX 1060 3GB in another computer and both of these cards can both clock to 2100 Mhz core speed IRL. In real life land both cards should be equal in potential maximum clock speeds in relating to overclockability.

Interesting! While the game typically balances the usual gameplay vs. realism tradeoffs quite well, this one seems to fall a little more aggressively away from realism than other areas.

It might have been better if the OCCT slider worked the same on all cards (in terms of clock settings allowed) but some cards would overheat or BSOD more sensitively with the same coolants.

I got 2500 MHz (water) and 2391 MHz (air) in Free mode on absolutely ridiculous PC:
Corsair Obsidian 1000D
ASRock TRX40 Taichi
AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3960X (UNDERCLOCKED to Base Clock 60MHz, Ratio x33.25, Voltage 1V)
SilverStone ST1500-TI

I had to underclock CPU to bring temperature of a system down. On default clock of CPU and overclocking GPU was PC too hot and GPU was overheating.

Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX 3090 ArcticStorm - 2x Tripple Radiator, 1x Double radiator. Core Voltage +20%, Core Clock + 805MHz, Memory Clock -1166Mhz - temperature peaked at 69.7°C, frequency was 2500MHz (there wasn't option to go higher).

Zotac GeForce GTX 1080 Mini - same case, with 10 120mm fans and 3 140mm. GPU was stable until Core Voltage +20%, Core Clock +392MHz, Memory Clock -1449MHz - temperature peaked at 95.23°C, frequency was 2151MHz. Anything above was unstable.
Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 Mini - Core Voltage +20%, Core Clock +682MHz, Memory Clock -498MHz - temperature peaked at 95.26°C, frequency was 2391MHz. Anything above was unstable.

Cost of a PC was $3510 without GPU.
