I was watching a few undervolting videos like this one from OptimumTech.


and this one:



Their base frequency is 1300 MHz

Just to add my starting frequency of the curve starts at stock 1200 MHz?

Is this normal? From their videos their base clock when setting a curve was higher. They also are using a Founders Edition 3080.
Screenshot:


Why is mine at 1200mhz and theirs at 1300mhz?

 

[Omnipunctual Godot]

I guess you can push to 4.5 and memory to 3200-3400. It will help a bit.
But yeah 4 cores is long in the tooth.

That's the thing. I have an i7-6700k oc'ed to 4.6 GHz. But every time I watch a video about CPUs there's usually some discussion about how antiquated Intel's 14 nm design is and how they just keep milking it. I don't want to end up buying the last antiquated design and then have them switch to something way more powerful and future-proof.

Dont worry about the start of the curve, whats important is the frequency you want your GPU to peak.
From memory you hold the Shift key and drag the curve down to your desired frequency.
Then click and drag the desired mV point up to that frequency, hit apply.

Example, I did mine 1950Mhz at 850mV. (EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra)
This is how my Timespy scores compared to stock:

Timespy	Score	gfx 1	gfx 2	Clock max	Clock avg	Memory	Power
STOCK	13473	115.65	101.72	1995	1933	Default	382w
UNDERVOLT	13591	118.42	102.93	1920	1888	+1100	305w

This Is the Way !

Looks like you've got yourself a nice clocker. I had to set mine to 1905 [MSi Gaming X] in order to just pass the test @0.850v, though during the test it was locked to 1920 all the way. Stock bios settings seem to be seriously bad and everytime board gets anywhere near 345-350W core frequency takes a dive.

Timespy	Gfx score	Gfx 1 (fps)	Gfx 2	Clock max	Clock avg	frequent drops to	Memory	Power W
Stock @1,068 V	17,745	117.22	100.56	1965	~1920	1860	stock	~345
Undervolt @0.850 V	18,212	120.45	103.09	1920	1920	1920 [locked]	+1175	~295

Someone please post some good Ampere deep-dive articles to read. AFAIK, AnandTech doesn't seem to have one. I've watched Gamers Nexus's vid but I'm hungry for more!

I finally got my evga queue email today for an RTX 3090 FTW3 Gaming.
Signed up on 10/17. It should be here Friday.

I had given up to be honest. I just happened to check my email on my lunch break and then I was like @_@
If it happened for me then it can definitely happen for you.

 

[mitchman]

So I had 2x RTX 3080 in pre-order, none have arrived thus far and won't any time soon. So I decided to jump on a 6900XT card that was in stock and can be delivered home to me by tomorrow. Time to set up that LG OLED CX 48" that's been in a box for a week now .
I'll cancel at least one of the 3080s and perhaps keep the other, can always resell it if it ever arrives.

Sell me the extra 3080?

Where are you located? I'm in Oslo, Norway. One of them has a delivery date of April (a mistake to order ASUS TUF, too popular), other has no delivery date.

 

[Krappadizzle]

I'm in the States. I bet the conversion and shipping would suck.

hey guys. a quick question.

I just got my hand on an FTW 3 3070. amazing card and all. but the fans keep spinning on idle. any idea why? no MSI burner fan curve and the X1 software is on default I didn't even touch it.

the temp on the card is 28 degrees :/

try updating your motherboard

 

[//DEVIL//]

What ? What does motherboard update has anything to do with this ? I had an FE card 3070 before and it didn’t do this issue

 

[//DEVIL//]

fixed it. All I had to do is a complete fresh reinstall of the drivers.

fuck I almost had a heart attack something is wrong with the card. because it's perfect. black trim not red. temp 61 max during heavy or benchmark gaming... no coil whine. just perfect I am in love with this.

knock on wood lol

 

[RoboFu]

I had issues with 2 2080s with that would run one fan as hard as it could. I updated my motherboards firmware based on a suggestion I found .. which fixed the issue.

 

[Korranator]

Fuck it.

Gave up on the 3080, and bought a 3070FE. Yeah, I paid a bit more than MRSP, but have you seen the current prices on newegg lately ($620 -$820)? Not that you can actually buy a 30XX there anyway.

Should be a huge upgrade from my old lowly 970. I'll probably install it this weekend, since I have to swap PSUs from my older PC.

I have the same card right now.

+130 core
+1100 memory (may have more room there).

Any higher on core would crash in unreal engine games and cyberpunk. +130 absolutely stable. Avg core clock 2085. Never breaks low 60s in temp.

Excellent card.

3080 20G engineering sample leaked to chinese vtuber!

1-3% behind 3090

 

[chorizosausage#3774]

mindfactory just bumped the price on Ampere and RDNA2 cards.
On the bright side, no problems with availability (except 3080, which is still MIA).
E.g. $499 3070 is all yours, for mere 799 to 879€.

Treating people like rubes.

No respect for these two companies (red and green). They piss on your head and tell you its raining.

That's a really, REALLY nice upgrade. Enjoy!!

Gpus are all crazy expensive right now. I was looking for a 2080 super to tide me over thinking I'd find a good price. Wrong. Seen them going for 700+

30 series Karma hit me today. Managed to score an Asus TUF 3070 OC. Arriving tomorrow. Replacing an Asus Strix 1080TI (which is going to go into a future sim rig)

Happy!

 

[rofif]

holy shit 5600xt and 5700 cost their weight in gold too now... everything is like 2 or 3 times too expensive.
Not to mention, that graphics cards were to expensive even at msrp... getting my 3080 founders for msrp from nvidia site was the biggest achievement of my life lol

 

[dave_d]

I still haven't seen anything from the multiple EVGA queues I'm on, including the one where I got in on it within an hour of it starting. Funny thing is I managed to snag a EVGA 3070 a few weeks back from Bestbuy. (I'll really need to take some photos of my final rig and put it up in the PC building thread. Took months to actually get the GPU so I could finally finish it.)

Oh man loving this new system. Near instant boot, games load faster than the PS5, the liquid cooling keeps temps low.

 

[Celcius]

Under load, while playing Cyberpunk 2077, my EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming reaches ~75 degrees Celcius. Is this too high?

I've got my case fans running at full speed and I've applied a very aggressive fan curve that pushes the fans 20 units higher than the temperature (e.g. 40 degrees Celcius-> fans run at 60%; 70 degrees Celcius -> fans run at 90%; etc).

I just unboxed my EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra Gaming and I get the exact same temp as you during benchmarks. Sounds like it's completely normal

 

[ManaByte]

Over 100fps in CP77 at Ultra.

say what?! I have 3080 and 3700x.
System takes 20 seconds to windows.
Games load like always. nvme is not utilized than normal ssd.
Unless nvidia and microsoft work together to make the faster io happen, ps5 will be better when it comes to load times

Oh my the 3070 gigabyte gaming oc 8gb is now over 900 euros thankfully i got it for 640 early december

Are you counting the mobo post on that loading ? You should put it after post, just when windows starts loading. No way its 20 seconds like that. PS5 wont be better in loading times because its theoretical max output wont be reached in a consistent manner. You'll load and play games in the exact same way on PC even after they start designing them for ssd output.

yes, total since button. It's up to 25s until I can move my mouse around. CSM is disabled and fast boot is enable in windows 10.
It's on x570 board... year ago this piece of shit was booting for 25 seconds PRE post and 20 for windows. thankfully uefi updates helped

I'm running a MSI Z490-A Pro MB with a WD Black SN850. Tested side by side with Fortnite (one of the few things that has a PS5 enhanced version and a comparable PC version). The PC one loads faster now.

Sorry, but the PS5 SSD isn't some kind of mythical device that can't exist elsewhere. Comparable SSDs are now out on the market for the PC.

it's a very fast ssd... just like pcie4.0 drives on pc BUT the custom IO access makes all the difference.
Just needs some custom work like demons souls or astro bot. These games almost have no loading times. Ports do not utilize that

Astro's (I Platinumed it) has loading, it's just disguised with flashy transition animations.

dude it's like 3 seconds and it fades in and out with a cool teleportation animation. Demons souls is like 5 seconds and a great animation.
For me, loading is sitting at a loading screen for 30 seconds.
You don't get that now on a pc. Maybe some old games load very fast now but not like that

I also put Cyberpunk on the SSD. It loads in about 5-7 seconds too.

Literally you see the guy on the TV and you can press space to start the game.

I havent really tested my 3070 beyond a few of the lighter intensity games I play causally (Dota2, Gunfire Reborn, Diablo 3) and a few Heaven benchmarks - but I have to say, this fella is one cool dude. Even running Heaven at 1440p with everything cranked up after several benchmarks in a row, didnt get the temps beyond 63c. All other gaming hasnt gone beyond 57c.

Compared to it, my old Strix 1080TI was like Chernobyl Reactor 4 in comparison. This card is barely audible when Im gaming. I love it.
