I have seen many posts saying the speed was 1.094 volts, but very little about Turing. I also saw someone say on here that Nvidia wrote something under 1.064 volts and they are on record. I couldn't confirm that claim either. Some of you might know me from my other posts. Let's quickly recap: I have an aorus 2070 super card. I didn't get the luck to manually overclock it with offsets, but I can push it to +25 cores at 2010 megahertz and +800 memory before errors start showing up on OCCT 3D test. I found better results when I used a voltage frequency curve. My card usually runs mostly at stock settings of 1.050 volts. At that level, I can set it to 2070 megahertz and +800 memory without worrying too much because that is how it normally works. But I can get up to 2100 megahertz around 1.068 volts, maybe even more until I find out what the safe long-term voltage really is. I understand this varies by card and model, but I was looking for a general safe consensus. I don't get errors in OCCT when I use the curve this way, not sure why exactly, though I think it might be because I hit power limits instantly in that test which drops the voltage down to around 900 regardless of what else is set, making higher clocks unstable. I guess if I only changed one point on the voltage frequency curve and couldn't do that, then the card just goes back to its normal setting, but am I an expert? Maybe you will know better than me. It might be worth mentioning that this "Built for Extreme Overclocking 12+2 Power Phases" feature has any effect on lifespan at high voltage is something I don't really know about either. Thank you for any help in advance!

If you need a lot of voltage for just a little speed boost, I won't do it. For my CPU, getting 25MHz faster means adding about 30W of power that doesn't make sense. I should check your specific model first because some chips can use more power than others. On the other questions, I don't think anyone else is going to be able to answer them for sure.
