Hey everyone, I live in a place where electricity is scarce and I've been looking into undervolting my RTX 2060. I heard that lowering the voltage can give you around 3 frames per second more or at least maintain performance without any drops. I haven't tried it yet, but I really want to see if it's worth a shot. I'm not here to ask for instructions, just wondering if it's actually beneficial. Thanks in advance!

Undervolting helps reduce power draw, in turn helps reduce heat dump and in turn does help keep your performance up when it'd otherwise throttle in case the internal temps of your case would rise when gaming.
Spec : i7 9700k
Rtx 2060
16gb of ram
Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.
In case you don't have it or didn't know, 2 sticks of DDR4-3200MHz was the sweet spot for DDR4 platforms. Having a tight latency on your ram kit or manually tweaking(fine tuning_ them would also net you a couple of more FPS, if your platform is primarily used for gaming.
