hello
i attempted to overclock my 1080 ti yesterday using the settings you mentioned with gpu tweak 2. i set the power target to 120%, core voltage at 100%, added a +200 mhz core clock, and adjusted the fan curve. after a few tries, the vga driver crashed, so i lowered the core clock to +180 mhz without changing the voltage, then reduced it again to +170 mhz and failed once more. eventually i reset everything back to factory defaults, lowered the core clock to +150 mhz, and ended the benchmark.
i monitored the voltage and temperature, and the max readings were 1.094v and 77c, which seems within normal ranges. i’m concerned about potential damage, especially with the card’s lifespan. is this voltage safe? should i be worried? also, does this affect my future usage?
my question is whether i reduced the card lifespan.
OC is similar to driving your car at over 100MPH. If you did it just once, you didn’t make much change to the card. But if you keep doing it repeatedly, you’ll wear down your car and the card faster than someone else who uses a 1080 TI. OC isn’t really needed on such powerful systems unless you have special tasks like using Quad LCDs or rendering for 8 hours of 4K video.
