1070ti core voltage
1070ti core voltage
The 1070ti has voltage locking, so applying +100% on core voltage is safe. Thanks.
Technically in AZ: You've just repeated what you already said. Therefore, it doesn't really matter. Just slide that slider however you like—it won't affect how the card behaves at all.
This claim is clearly incorrect. Core voltage plays a significant role in the Pascal architecture. It's so important that raising the voltage during overclocking can lead to instability if temperatures rise too much. The Pascal cores are very sensitive to heat.
While it's accurate that the voltage is fixed for Pascal GPUs, boost 3.0 usually prevents them from reaching the highest possible voltage. The default setting typically stays around 1.093v, with most stock configurations around 1.07v or lower.
For example, a GPU might be able to push itself up to 2100 under air conditions, but only needs about 1.053v to reach that level. As core temperatures rise, more voltage is needed to maintain the same clock speed. Conversely, lower temperatures mean less voltage is necessary for stability. There are natural limits based on temperature, creating a curve where efficiency depends on core temperature.
It's feasible to bypass these restrictions somewhat by following the voltage/frequency curve for overclocking, rather than relying solely on offset adjustments. An illustration of this method is provided.

You've just gone against your own words. To address your query, it doesn't really matter. Just slide that slider however you like—it won't alter the card's behavior at all.

Although it's accurate that the voltage is fixed for Pascal GPUs, boost 3.0 usually prevents the GPU from operating at its highest possible voltage. This cap is around 1.093v. In standard settings, you'll typically see voltages near 1.07v or lower.
For example, on air, a GPU might attempt a boost to 2100, but only needs about 1.053v to reach it. As core temperatures climb, more voltage is needed to maintain the same clock speed. Conversely, when temperatures drop, less voltage is necessary for stability. There are natural limits, forming a curve where the GPU performs best. This all depends on core temperature and its impact on voltage requirements.

An illustration of the voltage/frequency curve approach for overclocking.
I found it hard to grasp exactly what you meant. It seems core voltage really does influence the overclock here? With full core voltage, I could achieve a 2101 core clock and a 4450 memory clock, reaching 67°C, but I didn't try it without increasing the core voltage.
Interesting points here. It seems you're pointing out that adjusting the settings won't alter the card's behavior much. This isn't entirely accurate. The core voltage plays a significant role in the Pascal architecture. Increasing voltage during overclocking can lead to instability if temperatures rise too high. Pascal GPUs are quite temperature-sensitive.
While it's correct that the voltage is fixed for standard settings, boosting it with boost 3.0 usually prevents the GPU from reaching its maximum voltage. This cap is around 1.093v. In practice, stock voltage settings typically range between 1.07v and lower. For example, a GPU might push itself to 2100 at air temperature but only needs about 1.053v to achieve that. As core temperatures rise, more voltage becomes necessary to maintain the same clock speed. Conversely, lower temperatures allow for reduced voltage requirements.
There are boundaries to this, forming a curve where efficiency is optimized based on core temperature. While it's possible to attempt overclocking using the voltage/frequency relationship, it's a delicate process. Experimentation is key, as each GPU behaves differently. Ultimately, managing core temperature remains crucial for stable performance.

I believe you misinterpreted my point. Nvidia has indeed locked the voltage for all GTX 1070 models. The standard versions—1070, 1080, 1060, 1080 Ti and so on—can still adjust their voltages via overclocking tools.
Interesting points here. It seems you've mixed up some details. In reality, the voltage settings for Pascal GPUs are quite fixed, especially for the stock configurations. Boost 3.0 mainly controls how the GPU responds to overclocking rather than changing the base voltage. The core temperatures play a big role in determining the safe operating range, and exceeding the recommended limits can lead to instability. So while it might appear you're adjusting something, the actual constraints are more about temperature management than precise voltage manipulation.
