New to overclocking

[R3dAlert93]

Kinda new to overclocking and just wondering whats recommended to put into msi afterburner. What should i set the core clock speed and memory clock speed for my rtx 4080?

No idea where you learned that from but that is absolutely Incorrect

Not worth it...

What isnt worth it is going to a site that no ones ever heard

You are factually incorrect in your statement
and that article itself actually proves it since you apparently didnt read the whole thing
not to mention we are talking about a 4080 Not a 3050, HUGE difference in performance with or without an Overclock.

Do more research before attempting to offer someone advice you have no experience with.

Back in the days you could get quite a bit out of overclocking the CPU if you get a much better cooler. But those days are behind us because now you basically need a better cooler for your standard CPU. Some CPUs being some quite hot ones too.

As for the GPU. I wouldn't do it.

You know how people say bitcoin miners burn out the GPU? Well you're overclocking it and doing the same thing.

Besides you have a 4080. If the game doesn't run well on that one, overclocking isn't going to help.
The game might just not be optimized.

Literally not the same thing

Mining has the GPU at 100% Load for hours days and weeks at a time but are likely not running at max clocks and are also not likely to be overclocked much IF at all, Not even remotely close to overclocking for gaming/benchmarks for a few hours or less a day of use.

I am quite confused as to where you guys get your information from because it makes no sense what so ever.


You guys Really need to do more research on overclocking in general

[GOD RAYS ON ULTRA™]

Overclocking = WASTE, HEAT, THROTTLE, SHORTER LIFE SPAN, TERRIBLY PLAYED OUT AND POINTLESS!!

Have a nice day

This is not a random website, but a person who overclocks a lot. Just because you don't know it doesn't make it random.

btw the OCCT single SSE and AVX world records are his.

Just look at the difference between OC strategy 1 and 2. Removing the power limit gives quite a bit of improvement in some scenarios and I interpret it to mean that it's better undervolt if you want to keep running without triggering the power limit to achive more constant performance. It doesn't matter if it's an RTX4080 or a 3050 because they work almost in the same way.

Overclocking is close to dead at this point, there's very little to gain from modern hardware through overclocking, more often people are undervolting for better temperatures.

[D. Flame]

Nothing new needs to be overclocked. If anything, you would underclock them to keep them from melting themselves.

[skOsH♥]

I wouldn't oc a newer gpu since they all tend to run hot because they're running an insane amount of data

I have mine undervolted and I actually don't notice any difference, any game I want to run at native, I can easily get 100fps or more, if I choose to get more fps my gpu likes to heat up and I don't like the amount of power it consumes when I don't need extra frames/it's a single player game.

This gives some info about GPU OC'ing

dc_, the best thing for you to do would be to just limit FPS to your liking, limiting the FPS limits the performance of the GPU which in turn limits the power/heat to some extent, that also applies for CPU's as well. Not limiting your FPS essentially lets the hardware do whatever its capable of doing within a given temperature range.

So in short, using Vsync or setting an FPS limit would be the best way to limit the things you're worried about.

You should really use HWMonitor to see how much power the GPU is actually using while gaming with and without the undervolt because i dont think you're saving as much electricity as you think you are.

Limiting FPS will reduce the workload but undervolting will still decrease the temps and noise from cooling fans whilst getting the same performance. How much you can undervolt will depend on the card. Manufacturers default to a high voltage to ensure even the worst silicon lottery cards can still run. If they didn't those cards with weaker silicon would get refunded.

My 3070 Ti at default has voltage at highest clock between of 1935 with voltage at 1131mv. Yet At the same clocks I can have it set to .950mv which is alomst 200mv lower without a performance hit. Lower Temps and noise with impacting performance. If I were to cap my FPS and I'd see even lower temps and ear even less noise.

I have a profile saved which has it stable at 2000Mhz with just 1mv.

reducing workload does decrease temps
gpu or cpu can be at their max turbo/boost for days with no load and be at 50c or lower

Some chips are generally hotter. My 7800x3D was constantly going to 70 to 75c for video consumption. Turned off turbo boost and it’s now 42C usually.

Another trick is to set maximum processor state to 99%. What this will do is have turbo boost inactive until you launch a full screen game. I prefer to have it off for both as the x3D still performs well even at 4.2GHz

Not sure why you would need to over clock a rtx 4080, I have that card... no reason to overclock. What's your cpu, just curious..

[smokerob79]

its not worth it.....most of the 40 series cards do better with a UNDER volt at stock settings.....its not worth over clocking as their already pushed to the hardware limit.....when you can reduce the core amperage by a 100 AMPS and only see a 1 to 3 frame loss these cards are already overclocked

[Malygos]

I run my super +237 and +845 on the memory not sure why people are freaking out about the heat my fans are 55% and most games don't go above 62. Some go as high as 68c with 60% speed lol
