Question Overclocking RTX 2070 Super
Question Overclocking RTX 2070 Super
They can be adjusted separately or locked together. I have the power target set to 110 and the target temperature at the default setting. With my cooler, I don’t reach much above 60°C anyway.
Using a CPU water block on the GPU reduces the temperature by ten degrees. At 50°C, it would reach 40°C when the game is capped at 60Hz. The thermal and power limits in the software I use are not fixed, and the thermal limit is usually not an issue with good cooling.
Check out the photo from the first post. Notice that chain link next to Temp Limit? It's been there a while, yet it's quite small and easy to overlook—similar to the Voltage/Frequency Curve Editor next to Core Clock in the same picture... What about Gigabyte's Aorus Engine now? That device was a mess during the early months I had this 1080Ti. Almost everything except Silent Mode would lead to crashes, which happened before manual optimization was done; those crashes were also inevitable.
What should I do? Should I remove the 100/1000 OC? Did I damage my GPU or is it okay? I ran a stress test in Furmark with no crashes and no unusual screen behavior.
For testing an RTX card in a ray tracing game, control is ideal.
The issue is that those applications (Control and Metro Exodus) aren't accessible to all users.
[Assuming the OP doesn't own either of these]
Purchasing a game solely for testing GPU stability isn't practical if it's not appealing to everyone.
If you already have one or both titles, that's fine! If not...
Test RT cores and tensor cores. Tensor cores run one instruction per clock cycle, making them more challenging to stabilize.
I understand your point, but are there other choices available that people can use without costing them, especially if they don’t currently own them?
