I recently adjusted the voltage on an EVGA RTX 2080 Super. Before this change, it operated at its maximum with a core voltage of 1.05V and a boost clock around 1995mHz. During TimeSpy benchmarking, temperatures would rise to 76-77 degrees. After using Afterburner to lower the voltage to .9V and setting the frequency to 1990mHz, stability was achieved at that level. Temperatures only decreased slightly, and the boost clock reached a peak of 1965mHz during the Extreme stress test in TimeSpy. Any results below .9V failed the Extreme test. Are these outcomes normal? Would a smaller voltage drop result in a more significant temperature reduction? Thanks.

Why are you reducing the voltage anyway? Could it be to cut down on electricity costs or is it mainly about managing heat? I have some suggestions—if you don’t need full speed, consider lowering your GPU’s clock to 1900 or 1800mhz. You can also try overclocking the RAM on the GPU, as it won’t use much power and will help boost graphics performance when the GPU runs slower.

80C for a video card during a stress test is acceptable, with no issues detected. Everything can be reset to normal.
