The difference between 1.218V and 1.250V lies in their voltage levels, with the latter being higher.

Hi! If you change the voltage to 1.250V on your GTX 980, it could affect performance and stability. The benefits might include improved stability or better power efficiency, but it could also cause issues if not compatible with your hardware. Make sure to check the specifications before making changes.
It's unlikely to have a significant impact, just a minor voltage rise.

hello everyone, i'm checking my GTX 980 with a 1506 mhz, 3.7mem and 1.218v. if i change it to 1.250v, what would happen? how would that help me? if i'm already stable at 1.218v, then increasing the voltage would just add more heat, which seems like the only difference.
it's through custom bios, i'm stable so far... no artifacts or crashes yet.
Durwesh Naeem shared his experience: it works via custom bios and he's stable so far, no artifacts or crashes. If it's fully stable for 30-45 minutes with Furmark, it should be okay with 1.218. He suggests checking again in summer with higher temperatures. Lower voltage is better for the clock, as heat reduces lifespan. He notes that his CPU has been running well since 2011.
