Great job Fabio you always explain things perfectly for the noobs coming to the PC Elite Master race lmfao!!! Just kidding none of us have that type of complex at all😜😝😆😅😆
I've noticed the 3090 has way higher memory Mhz than most cards I have seen. Can you explain why at all? I know the X part of GDDR6X may be part of it but still the differences seem difficult to compare for me and I have read about the differences in X and non X GDDR6.
ADVICE: For check the stability use MSI kombustor (the K icon on the left of MSI after burner). In MSI kombustor activate the artifact scanner. If you get 0 artifact in 1 min yo can consider it is stable....Other tip is that while msi kombustor is runing you can adjust the RAM/Core values without closing the MSI kombustor until the number of artifacts start to increase.
Im sorry but thats incorrect. Kombustor isnt a good way to get a stable OC. You can easily run into problems when booting up games, and it all comes down to the engine being used, if its DX11, DX12 or Vulkan, and so on. Also you can have what you think is a stable overclock in 20 games, and then you run into one game which crashes because the overclock isnt stable for the engine being used. The only way to test for stable overclocks is by actually playing all the games you have installed for days or even weeks.
That's exactly why nvidia sucks. They only give enough VRAM to the ULTRA expensive XX90. My 3060ti deserves 10/12 GB VRAM, this 4070ti deserves 16 GB as you said and the 4080 should have 20 GB. This and DLSS 3 locked on 4000 series ( and DLSS 4, RT 4 locked to the 5000 series) is exactly why I would buy an AMD GPU next time.
@@fioralangust 4090 or 4090ti if it ever comes out at 24gb 4080ti at 20gb if it comes out 16gb is fine for the 4080 12gb is fine on the 4070ti coming from someone who has one. 4070 should have 8gb 4060/4060ti have 12gb at lower clock speed then 4070ti and 4050 has 8gb at lower clock speed than 4070. It really isn’t as bad as people think
Not sure about the ti, I have the ti super and at full load with clock hitting 2985 MHz I can't get the card above 72 degrees at 311 watts with the fans on quiet setting. Why undervolt?

heres what i got rog strix 4070 ti (not the oc module) 100% core voltage 175 core clock (can do 185 but am being safe) 2000 memory clock 128 power limit 88 temp limit auto fan speed using 3dmark speed way and port royal to stress test. may come back to fix things if i find issue with running games with different render engines
From Russia - Ukraine) Core voltage - this slider will not harm you - since it no longer works as it did before episode 10. Previously, this slider allowed you to control the voltage directly. Now this parameter allows you to simply use the entire range of built-in voltages - that is, it has become similar to Power Limit)... You can easily, without fear, make sure that it will not harm you even if you put 100 ratings! You can run the test and make sure that the changes it made on GPUs such as the 700 series and everything up to the 1000 series or tenth) will not happen anymore. So what it does is it allows it to use at all stages the voltage that it needs within the framework of the curve - which.
I got a pretty decent OC. MSI 4070 Ti only went to 100% power limit but i got it on +150mhz core clock then +1900mhz memory clock with voltage at 100%.
I oc my gpu and than play a game capped at 60 fps and my gpu runs at 5 degree celsius less and thus my fans run slower too. Basically I us oc because I hate fan speed. :D
I‘m running my ASUS ProArt 4070 Ti with 2500 MHz Core / 1500 MHz Memory Clock (Default 2310 / 1313 MHz) and it is very stable, gaining an average performance increase of 5-10 fps in very demanding games (Native 1440, no Supersampling). Considering frametime and responsiveness it‘s a huge bonus when it runs with for example 64fps instead of 56fps. It‘s marginal yes, but it‘s nice to have :D I tried boosting the GPU clock up to +250MHz in Afterburner but it was unstable unfortunately, guess I reached the limit there haha Excellent GPU though, it’s superb in WQHD :)
I got my card a week ago and was putting off overclocking till I got bored and decided to do it anyways. I currently have an ASUS Tuf 4070ti card +245Mhz Core Clock +2000Mhz Memory Clock At 100% Power Limit I have been stress testing for a while and have had no crashes in games or gpu specific tests, I did have a crash at +250 core. But while I want to believe that I won the silicone lottery I believe theres a chance that my cpu bottleneck is preventing my gpu from being fully tested. My card comfortably sits at 3000Mhz clock and 1562MHz Mem. I have a 8600k and never lets the card go to 100% unless I am playing something with RTX or doing a gpu specific stress test. Do you think my overclock testing could be affected by my cpu?
Great video, I was here to learn how to manually overclock stuff instead of using auto OC. One thing I noticed was that with the voltage, you were vague and only partially correct. It doesn't add to the voltage, it simply limits it or allows 100%. 0% voltage makes it so that the GPU automatically adjusts its voltage in different scenarios. 50% sets the voltage to a 50% constant of the maximum, and 100% makes the GPU run at maximum allowed voltage 24/7. It's not adding, so it's not 150% or 200%. But the thing you were correct about is running the GPU and 100% voltage can greatly shorten the lifespan of the card so 0% is recommended. However, if you want to squeeze every last bit of performance you can then 100% is the way to go. The 0% option which automatically adjusts the voltage can sometimes provide slightly lower voltage than what it probably should be in certain graphically intense scenarios.
@@PenguinsAreColdish By adjusting the slider in MSI Afterburner he briefly talked about in the video. It's labeled core voltage; you also need to enable the voltage setting in MSI Afterburner by pressing the little gear icon at the left.
@@PenguinsAreColdish If you are trying to get out more performance, set it to 100%. Beware though; long durations of GPU usage at 100% can cause permanent damage to the GPU and shorten its functional lifespan. Computer parts do not last forever, and higher voltages rip apart, or degrade, the silicon in the electronics faster. If you want to under volt, which is basically lowering the voltage so it consumes less power while losing little performance, set it to 75% or even 50%. It all depends on what you want to do with it. If you want short bursts of heavy gaming (2-5 hours), then set it to 100%. Longer duration heavy gaming? 0% so it automatically adjusts and you can keep the GPU for longer. If you're playing something that is not graphically intensive such as Stardew Valley, then under volt it to 75% or 50%. Hope this helps!
I wanted but amd asked the card before I could make it... you can follow the XTX, from experience it is basically the same (lower voltages on core only)
@Ancient Gamplays here are some things you got wrong in your video: 1) Since the Maxwell disaster, Nvidia has cracked down on the amount of voltage that can be applied to the GPU, so you can slide the voltage slider as far as you wish, and it will have absolutely no affect. Since Pascal, the voltage slider has been ignored. 2) The reason why sliding the Power Target and Temp Target sliders increases the clockspeed is because of the way that Nvidia Boost works. Nvidia Boost will look at where the GPU is in the now with regard to Power and Temp and compares it to the headroom it still has regarding the maximum that has been set. By putting the slider for the Power Target and the Temp Target all the way to the right, you are increasing that headroom, and this is why the clockspeeds will go higher. You are not directly increasing the clockspeed of the GPU with those sliders, and how much more performance you can get is limited by whichever limit is being reached, either temp or power. The thing is that the GPU will not hit a limit and then react, but rather Nvidia Boost will slow down the amount of clockspeed increase as it approaches either of those limits. So even if you have more than enough power headroom, if your GPU is getting hot due to bad ventilation in your case, the clockspeeds will not increase. BOTH of the parameters have to have sufficient headroom for the card to boost. 3) With regard to VRAM speed, Nvidia cards use ECC and as such, if you put increase the clockspeed of the VRAM too much, what will happen is that the error correction will kick in, and your performance will go into the toilet. If you are tuning your VRAM you have to go into the Nvidia Control panel and turn ECC off, then increase the clockspeed until it starts artefacting, reduce the speed to where there no longer are any aberrations, and then you can turn on the ECC again. 4) With regard to software, you forgot one of the best, which is the EVGA Precision X1 software. 5) The power limit percentage is based on the max power limit the card has configured in the VBIOS. So if your card has a lower power limit defined in the VBIOS of the card, then the percentage you can increase it by will be higher than a card which already has a higher power limit defined in the VBIOS. This is why for two different 4070 Ti cards, one may allow you to set the power target to 115% and the other to "only" 107%. They both end up with the same power target, even though the percentages are different. Nothing to do with your video, but if you ever wish to learn how to configure Ryzen from the 3rd Gen onwards and your 7700X in particular, you might consider getting in touch with me on your Discord. You are throwing away a LOT of performance and possibilities running your CPU the way you are at the moment.
Agreed (and actually talked about) almost all those points and tried to explained them across the video. Even as for the voltage slider I did say that it should be have a max voltage on bios but i didn't know for aure
The 4070TI is an amazing card even with 12gb of vram, some are complaining is shouldve came with 16gb of vram instead of 12gb. I beg to disagree with people saying it needs 16gb of vram, tho i think its good with 12gb but what no one is talking about is that the 4070ti shouldve came with a 256bit memory bus interface instead of 192bit memory bus interface. If they done 256 bit memory bus interface then that wouldve helped out alot with stuttering when running at 4k resolution and would've gave some smoother head room at 1440p. At msrp for the 4070Ti it should have came with 256bit memory bus interface period with the current set msrp. Sadly this is the last Nvidia card ill ever purchase because it headed toward paying for a brand then paying for performance. So in a few years when the new generation of cards release ill be rocking with AMD because theyre pricing is unbeatable for they're quality of product and performance.
People definetly have been talking about the lower bandwidth of this card since before it released. Good news is that the new gddr6x VRAM transfers more data per clock cycle than last gen. That's why the lower bandwidth didnt end up being as big of a deal as people thought it would be. Yes 256 would be better, but this is still an improvement that shouldn't be overlooked.
@@AncientGameplays 4 sticks of memory better then 2 then using iGpu. Integrated can get more bandwith & vram from that much am4 no longer have road-goal. To date faster iGpu system is in SteamDeck with DDR5, but this doesn't matter.
Hey man fantastic video I feel I'm starting to have some knowledge, now in saying this I'm coming from console so this is a massive jump with understanding of the hardware your fucking with, I'm currently struggling to understand how the fps is set at 144 but in game on warzone it drops by 30 any tips on how to max it
I don't get why people use weird numbers to oc core and vram, core goes 15mhz at a time, vram 25mhz at a time, there are the only steps it does. Also, the core voltage is not to increase anything, it alows the card to to further in voltage if it needs to, example my 3090 does 1.075mv stock max voltage, with max out it goes to 1.1v which is the correct max numbers from the vbios, if you undervolt the card it doesn't matter, but for records and PR's you should use that voltage slider to the max like the power limit one to allow the card to draw as much as possible and gain 15/30mhz more along side with the extra voltage, it doesn't hurt anything, confia, seja a ar ou com ln2😉
just finished overclocking my ROG STRIX 4070ti with my RM850x PSU. Here is what I got it to. +1900MHz Memory clock +125MHz Core clock Gained 6 fps from this clock personally might differ for others. Great tips and helping me out with more understanding of clocking. cheers mate.
Have the same card only that mines the Tuf Gaming Overclocked version. Same power and temp increases but I was wondering if afterburner is even necessary if you’ve already turned on a DOCP/XMP profile in the bios? Also, do you recommend using MSI afterburner’s auto overclock feature? As opposed to manually setting? Thanks 🙏🏼
Well I see no replies to you. DOCP/XMP are for system memory not GPU memory, I recommend doing the auto scan if you don't want to spend time trying to manually OC or don't feel comfortable doing it. I can get a relatively stable OC at least for benchmarking, haven't pushed core beyond +200 or 730 on memory yet. But again only for benchmarking. Hope this helps
my sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx seems to dislike overclocking or undervolting. I have attributed it mainly to the adrenaline drivers/software but it may just be that the performance bios is already pushing the card to close to its limit. I have tested this since late December with very little change but of course I will continue to try with each new driver. Just leaving this comment here incase anyone else has my experience or can add any information.
@@quintrapnell3605 FYI some Samsung Odyssey monitors have a DP cable problem. And a personal note: I had problem with AMD driver crashing from any kind of GPU OC or UV. It took like half a year for me to figure out, that the driver was unstable thanks to my imperfect RAM OC. Since it was the only thing crashing it took a lot of time to figure this out. With XMP it was not crashing. Since then I adjusted the RAM OC to be perfectly stable.
I only use xmp because I have the 5800X3D and don’t really need to overclock ram. I’ll look into the cable issue but as far as I know most of the issues with this monitor are resolved by firmware updates which I have installed.
Love your content and your question section, it solved some doubts that i had, thanks for that. It would be nice you can do the same as amd about setting the min. frequency manually, too bad from nvidia imo. Btw the model you have is already overclocked isn't it or it has nothing to do with? Also what PSU would you recommend to use the settings you applied, do you need a little more of power? I have the exact same model as you do btw the Zotac Oc and i have a psu rog thor 850w
Those factory overclocks are usually just on the core and nothing to fancy. As for the PSU, I always recommend something around 650W Bronze from a known brand, at least to start with. your PSU is more than enough
@AncientGameplays Hey brother! Awesome video. Just wondering if you knew what the under volt for a Asus Tuf Gaming RTX 4070ti OC would be? I tried your settings, had no issues but also wasn’t sure if different settings might exist for my specific card?
my msi ventus card wont let me go over 100%, twice, 1660 ti and 3060 ti, i think (?) i will switch to another ''brand'' when i buy another gpu or can someone tell me if there even is a difference? edit: is there any website that lets you know what brand is the most ''overclockable''?
Fabio better with curve editor ,undervolt and overclock without loosing performance ,is very easy just grab the voltage dot you want and raise up to the frequency you want and apply,my 3070 +159 core +1000 memory with 0,981v ,stock is 1,081v
I tried several times with the curve editor and it just doesn't work, I simply don't understand it properly and it is not user intuitive IMO, but thanks!
its literally the same as Radeons software. You just grab the dot on the graph and put where you want. I do like Radeons much more though. @@AncientGameplays
Undervolting is worth it, so I disagree here with you. Much less heat and less noise. And less power consumption. If you are lucky, you don’t lose performance. If not you only use a little bit.
those card start at 280w power limit how can you put them at +10%? 2 pcie only support 300w, you only risk to melt everything no ? (ohhh i was talking about the TI SUPER)
@Ancient Gameplays Also when I try to use the automatic overclock in after burner it keeps telling me it's unstable it doesn't allow me to apply it any. Reason why do you know? How to fix.
@@AncientGameplays it should be in the nvidia control panel under 3D settings - Change ECC state on my 40 series card, my experience if i OC i do see a tiny bit of uplift when it is disabled.
When I tried to increase the power limit on my 4080, it would never let me go past 100. I would try to enter 110, but it would automatically reduce it back to 100. Any ideas?
@@AncientGameplays It's the MSI Ventus 3x OC Edition. Maybe because it already comes overclocked? I attempted to adjust the power limit before any other settings, just as you laid out in your video. I type in 110, and when I enter it in, it automatically reverts it back to 100. Weird. Really appreciate your video and your response!
@@NWSwill The power limit percentage is based on the max power limit the card has configured in the VBIOS.

I have the Zotac Gaming GeForce RTX Trinity OC. Factory overclocked at 2625mhz. Is this the most I can get out of it then or can I actually boost more?
Hey ancient so my PC did crash like you said may happen, just one problem i restarted my computer and once it boots up the whole screen freezes my mouse won’t move the computer is frozen. Any ideas on what I can do?
You will only have to apply overclock settings again if you restart PC. like turn it off and back on. You can close out of it though the Overclock will still be applied
I generally only run it on-the-fly when I'm getting ready to start gaming. I prefer not having a boatload of stuff starting with Windows. Setting will stay active until restart, app doesn't have to be up once it's run.
Interesting. On the Zotac Trinity 4080, I could get the core clock to +200 but the memory only to +275. Port Royal allowed no ocing at all so. I pushed the voltage instead.
Yep. OC headroom… for those looking for best frames ler dollar cost benefit cards… a video analyzing Cost/Frame on Overclocked cards, even if an estimate, would be nice to indicate good deals to the customers trying to squeeze the most from they’re money… could you do it @Fabio?

The idea of undervolting is not to boost performance but to get rid of throttling, and sometimes it helps to increase the frequencies
Not really, it depends

The core voltage is in %, you should max it out same as the Power Limit. It will/could help with stability.

Great video, I was here to learn how to manually overclock stuff instead of using auto OC. One thing I noticed was that with the voltage, you were vague and only partially correct. It doesn't add to the voltage, it simply limits it or allows 100%. 0% voltage makes it so that the GPU automatically adjusts its voltage in different scenarios. 50% sets the voltage to a 50% constant of the maximum, and 100% makes the GPU run at maximum allowed voltage 24/7. It's not adding, so it's not 150% or 200%. But the thing you were correct about is running the GPU and 100% voltage can greatly shorten the lifespan of the card so 0% is recommended. However, if you want to squeeze every last bit of performance you can then 100% is the way to go. The 0% option which automatically adjusts the voltage can sometimes provide slightly lower voltage than what it probably should be in certain graphically intense scenarios.
how do you go about tuning voltage?
@@PenguinsAreColdish By adjusting the slider in MSI Afterburner he briefly talked about in the video. It's labeled core voltage; you also need to enable the voltage setting in MSI Afterburner by pressing the little gear icon at the left.
@@TheOneTheOnlyGodly aside from zero, what's the next best option? im new to this
@@PenguinsAreColdish If you are trying to get out more performance, set it to 100%. Beware though; long durations of GPU usage at 100% can cause permanent damage to the GPU and shorten its functional lifespan. Computer parts do not last forever, and higher voltages rip apart, or degrade, the silicon in the electronics faster. If you want to under volt, which is basically lowering the voltage so it consumes less power while losing little performance, set it to 75% or even 50%. It all depends on what you want to do with it. If you want short bursts of heavy gaming (2-5 hours), then set it to 100%. Longer duration heavy gaming? 0% so it automatically adjusts and you can keep the GPU for longer. If you're playing something that is not graphically intensive such as Stardew Valley, then under volt it to 75% or 50%. Hope this helps!
@@TheOneTheOnlyGodly alright, 0% it is. thanks for the help
Hey, good video. my 4070ti suprim x has some coil whine, thats why i hoped you would get me some recommendation on undervolting.
Just decrease the power limit a bit, try -10%
I really would have thought you would put out the 7900XT tuning video before this one :(
I wanted but amd asked the card before I could make it... you can follow the XTX, from experience it is basically the same (lower voltages on core only)
Can you do comparison between Intel and AMD cpu using SAM/Rebar on AMD GPU? Or is there any difference between SAM and Rebar
It will be the same as long as the cpu performs around the same. My cpu comparisons always include SAM
I have +290mhz and 1300mhz at 100% power. Gainward pheonix 4070ti
Nice!
Can you do the same for Ti Super
@Ancient Gamplays here are some things you got wrong in your video:
1) Since the Maxwell disaster, Nvidia has cracked down on the amount of voltage that can be applied to the GPU, so you can slide the voltage slider as far as you wish, and it will have absolutely no affect. Since Pascal, the voltage slider has been ignored.
2) The reason why sliding the Power Target and Temp Target sliders increases the clockspeed is because of the way that Nvidia Boost works. Nvidia Boost will look at where the GPU is in the now with regard to Power and Temp and compares it to the headroom it still has regarding the maximum that has been set. By putting the slider for the Power Target and the Temp Target all the way to the right, you are increasing that headroom, and this is why the clockspeeds will go higher.
You are not directly increasing the clockspeed of the GPU with those sliders, and how much more performance you can get is limited by whichever limit is being reached, either temp or power.
The thing is that the GPU will not hit a limit and then react, but rather Nvidia Boost will slow down the amount of clockspeed increase as it approaches either of those limits. So even if you have more than enough power headroom, if your GPU is getting hot due to bad ventilation in your case, the clockspeeds will not increase. BOTH of the parameters have to have sufficient headroom for the card to boost.
3) With regard to VRAM speed, Nvidia cards use ECC and as such, if you put increase the clockspeed of the VRAM too much, what will happen is that the error correction will kick in, and your performance will go into the toilet. If you are tuning your VRAM you have to go into the Nvidia Control panel and turn ECC off, then increase the clockspeed until it starts artefacting, reduce the speed to where there no longer are any aberrations, and then you can turn on the ECC again.
4) With regard to software, you forgot one of the best, which is the EVGA Precision X1 software.
5) The power limit percentage is based on the max power limit the card has configured in the VBIOS. So if your card has a lower power limit defined in the VBIOS of the card, then the percentage you can increase it by will be higher than a card which already has a higher power limit defined in the VBIOS. This is why for two different 4070 Ti cards, one may allow you to set the power target to 115% and the other to "only" 107%. They both end up with the same power target, even though the percentages are different.
Nothing to do with your video, but if you ever wish to learn how to configure Ryzen from the 3rd Gen onwards and your 7700X in particular, you might consider getting in touch with me on your Discord. You are throwing away a LOT of performance and possibilities running your CPU the way you are at the moment.
Agreed (and actually talked about) almost all those points and tried to explained them across the video. Even as for the voltage slider I did say that it should be have a max voltage on bios but i didn't know for aure
Those 1% lows really improved didn’t they.
The 4070TI is an amazing card even with 12gb of vram, some are complaining is shouldve came with 16gb of vram instead of 12gb. I beg to disagree with people saying it needs 16gb of vram, tho i think its good with 12gb but what no one is talking about is that the 4070ti shouldve came with a 256bit memory bus interface instead of 192bit memory bus interface. If they done 256 bit memory bus interface then that wouldve helped out alot with stuttering when running at 4k resolution and would've gave some smoother head room at 1440p. At msrp for the 4070Ti it should have came with 256bit memory bus interface period with the current set msrp. Sadly this is the last Nvidia card ill ever purchase because it headed toward paying for a brand then paying for performance. So in a few years when the new generation of cards release ill be rocking with AMD because theyre pricing is unbeatable for they're quality of product and performance.
People definetly have been talking about the lower bandwidth of this card since before it released. Good news is that the new gddr6x VRAM transfers more data per clock cycle than last gen. That's why the lower bandwidth didnt end up being as big of a deal as people thought it would be. Yes 256 would be better, but this is still an improvement that shouldn't be overlooked.

What do you mean when you say “If it is stable”?
if it doesn't crash of course
@@AncientGameplays ok thanks of course

Hey man fantastic video I feel I'm starting to have some knowledge, now in saying this I'm coming from console so this is a massive jump with understanding of the hardware your fucking with, I'm currently struggling to understand how the fps is set at 144 but in game on warzone it drops by 30 any tips on how to max it
I don't get why people use weird numbers to oc core and vram, core goes 15mhz at a time, vram 25mhz at a time, there are the only steps it does.
Also, the core voltage is not to increase anything, it alows the card to to further in voltage if it needs to, example my 3090 does 1.075mv stock max voltage, with max out it goes to 1.1v which is the correct max numbers from the vbios, if you undervolt the card it doesn't matter, but for records and PR's you should use that voltage slider to the max like the power limit one to allow the card to draw as much as possible and gain 15/30mhz more along side with the extra voltage, it doesn't hurt anything, confia, seja a ar ou com ln2😉
That's not the point 🙄🙄
@@AncientGameplays read whole coment edited Fabio
just finished overclocking my ROG STRIX 4070ti with my RM850x PSU. Here is what I got it to.
+1900MHz Memory clock
+125MHz Core clock
Gained 6 fps from this clock personally might differ for others.
Great tips and helping me out with more understanding of clocking. cheers mate.
6 fps at what resolution. What was your non oc fps?
+1800MHz
+165MHz core clock make a 25300 3dmark score here
So core clock will stay at 115+
Brother you can undervolt and increase core clock etc, you know that?
Listen to what I said in the video. Also, in new tutorials I show that
Have the same card only that mines the Tuf Gaming Overclocked version. Same power and temp increases but I was wondering if afterburner is even necessary if you’ve already turned on a DOCP/XMP profile in the bios? Also, do you recommend using MSI afterburner’s auto overclock feature? As opposed to manually setting? Thanks 🙏🏼
Well I see no replies to you. DOCP/XMP are for system memory not GPU memory, I recommend doing the auto scan if you don't want to spend time trying to manually OC or don't feel comfortable doing it. I can get a relatively stable OC at least for benchmarking, haven't pushed core beyond +200 or 730 on memory yet. But again only for benchmarking. Hope this helps
Hey nice video! Are you going to do one for the rx 7900 xt?
Sadly I had to send the card back already...
Can u tell me what settings you used on it in the video comparison?
tengo la rtx 4070ti aorus master crees que seria buena decisión cambiar a una 4080 o esperar a la siguiente generación que quizás pronto salga
Let's go!
Yeahh
my sapphire nitro+ 7900xtx seems to dislike overclocking or undervolting. I have attributed it mainly to the adrenaline drivers/software but it may just be that the performance bios is already pushing the card to close to its limit. I have tested this since late December with very little change but of course I will continue to try with each new driver. Just leaving this comment here incase anyone else has my experience or can add any information.
I believe it is either your display cable or your psu. All cards will undervolt even if just a little, and will overclock on the vram as well
It’s the wattman driver reset crash though
Psu is 1600watt titanium brand new. DP cable is Samsung ODYSSEY G7 OEM.
@@quintrapnell3605 FYI some Samsung Odyssey monitors have a DP cable problem. And a personal note: I had problem with AMD driver crashing from any kind of GPU OC or UV. It took like half a year for me to figure out, that the driver was unstable thanks to my imperfect RAM OC. Since it was the only thing crashing it took a lot of time to figure this out. With XMP it was not crashing. Since then I adjusted the RAM OC to be perfectly stable.
I only use xmp because I have the 5800X3D and don’t really need to overclock ram. I’ll look into the cable issue but as far as I know most of the issues with this monitor are resolved by firmware updates which I have installed.
+2000 on memory what the hell you just won the silicon lottery with those
I guess I did haha, 1000MHz is normal, 1500MHz is doable, 2000MHz is top
can't wait to see the rtx 4070
Love your content and your question section, it solved some doubts that i had, thanks for that. It would be nice you can do the same as amd about setting the min. frequency manually, too bad from nvidia imo. Btw the model you have is already overclocked isn't it or it has nothing to do with? Also what PSU would you recommend to use the settings you applied, do you need a little more of power? I have the exact same model as you do btw the Zotac Oc and i have a psu rog thor 850w
Those factory overclocks are usually just on the core and nothing to fancy. As for the PSU, I always recommend something around 650W Bronze from a known brand, at least to start with.
your PSU is more than enough
Every GPU I’ve ever tested after about 2015 does 150mhz no problem. I guess Zotac is pretty bad 😮 Jesus 2000mhz though that’s crazy good.
My gigabyte aero crash at 1900 :(

@AncientGameplays Hey brother! Awesome video. Just wondering if you knew what the under volt for a Asus Tuf Gaming RTX 4070ti OC would be?
I tried your settings, had no issues but also wasn’t sure if different settings might exist for my specific card?
my msi ventus card wont let me go over 100%, twice, 1660 ti and 3060 ti, i think (?) i will switch to another ''brand'' when i buy another gpu or can someone tell me if there even is a difference?
edit: is there any website that lets you know what brand is the most ''overclockable''?
Waiting for tutorial to undervolt GPU prices.
Fabio better with curve editor ,undervolt and overclock without loosing performance ,is very easy just grab the voltage dot you want and raise up to the frequency you want and apply,my 3070 +159 core +1000 memory with 0,981v ,stock is 1,081v
I tried several times with the curve editor and it just doesn't work, I simply don't understand it properly and it is not user intuitive IMO, but thanks!
its literally the same as Radeons software. You just grab the dot on the graph and put where you want. I do like Radeons much more though. @@AncientGameplays

Thank you as well :D
@@AncientGameplays MSI Afternburn shows me max 100% at the power limit. I cannot overclock here. Do I have to activate this before?
@@thrasher6752 no, its just your model that does not raise the power limit
@@AncientGameplays thanks for your quick answer. Its a little bit disappointing :D.
Undervolting is worth it, so I disagree here with you. Much less heat and less noise. And less power consumption. If you are lucky, you don’t lose performance. If not you only use a little bit.
Didn't say it wasn't worth it though

Puedes hacer un video para la 4070?
those card start at 280w power limit how can you put them at +10%? 2 pcie only support 300w, you only risk to melt everything no
? (ohhh i was talking about the TI SUPER)
How do you know if it's stable? How do I test or no
I do explain that in the video, test in some heavy games
@Ancient Gameplays Also when I try to use the automatic overclock in after burner it keeps telling me it's unstable it doesn't allow me to apply it any. Reason why do you know? How to fix.
To do a proper UV for my 4070ti super, I just have to decrease my power limit and not mess with the core and memory clock?
that's not UV, that's power limiting
I think you get better results if you disable ECC state right ?
Humm, that I don't really know. I don't even know if we can disable ECC
@@AncientGameplays it should be in the nvidia control panel under 3D settings - Change ECC state on my 40 series card, my experience if i OC i do see a tiny bit of uplift when it is disabled.
When I tried to increase the power limit on my 4080, it would never let me go past 100. I would try to enter 110, but it would automatically reduce it back to 100. Any ideas?
Or you have a lower model or your settings werent stable
@@AncientGameplays It's the MSI Ventus 3x OC Edition. Maybe because it already comes overclocked? I attempted to adjust the power limit before any other settings, just as you laid out in your video. I type in 110, and when I enter it in, it automatically reverts it back to 100. Weird. Really appreciate your video and your response!
@@NWSwill The power limit percentage is based on the max power limit the card has configured in the VBIOS. So if your card has a lower power limit defined in the VBIOS of the card, then the percentage you can increase it by will be higher than a card which already has a higher power limit defined in the VBIOS. This is why for two different 4070 Ti cards, one may allow you to set the power target to 115% and the other to "only" 107%. They both end up with the same power target, even though the percentages are different.

What is the best setting for RTX 4070 ti? Also any idea why my GPU and MEM always show at maximum number?

@@Versatile-sc8tr After I using the auto settings in the game. It fix it.
It means I just let the game decide what's the best settings for me.
When i am on msi afterburner. my GPU/MEM mhz bars are constantly maxed when not doing anything. just wondering why yours are not maxed.
Core clock: +115
Memory clock: +500
Do i need to keep afterburner working all the time in the background to keep my card overclocked? Or i can just set one time and then uninstall it?
You will only have to apply overclock settings again if you restart PC. like turn it off and back on. You can close out of it though the Overclock will still be applied
I generally only run it on-the-fly when I'm getting ready to start gaming. I prefer not having a boatload of stuff starting with Windows. Setting will stay active until restart, app doesn't have to be up once it's run.
