For example, my MSI 2080Ti Gaming X Trio runs at 1923MHz-1936MHz out of the box but after flashing the Lightning Z BIOS I can sustain 2085MHz-2100MHz in all games because of the 380W power limit. It gives a much better idea of actual gains and how far the chips have already been pushed by the GPU boost out of the box.

My first build was with a Pentium 3 700MHz back in the day and I’ve been overclocking and enjoying building ever I particularly like how you compare overclocking against what the GPU core *actually* runs at, not against base or boost like other sites. I don’t normally sign up anywhere or comment, but I can tell you know your stuff. I’ve been regularly visiting for I think 6 months now and I really like the style of reviews and overclocking here. Also keep in mind that GPU Boost already manages Voltage and can raise it as needed, which it does just by us turning up the Core Clock offset. Therefore, we really have to watch the TDP closely, and this overall caps the frequency of GPU and memory. You see, on this video card, there isn’t as much headroom in terms of turning up the Power Limit, much less headroom than the GeForce RTX 3080 Founders Edition. However, we found that it was best to leave the Voltage alone on this video card because it made us hit the maximum TDP much quicker, which actually lowered the GPU clock frequency while gaming. We were able to unlock and monitor the GPU Voltage as well. To overclock this video card we downloaded the latest Beta of MSI Afterburner which worked great on this video card. Therefore this is our baseline frequency to start with. The frequency boosted above 1900MHz most of the time. In our launch review, we found that the default GPU frequency averaged 1935MHz while gaming, which is well above the 1725MHz boost already. Just note that the Boost Clock is 1725MHz on this video card with memory that runs at 14GHz. This is the default GPUz screenshot before we begin. Therefore, the overclocking ability of this Founders Edition video card may be different when we overclock add-in-board partner custom video cards. The PCB design, the chosen hardware components, the incredibly unique and proprietary heatsink, and fan design is unique to NVIDIA.
RTX 3070 POWER CONSUMPTION HOW TO
How to Overclock the GeForce RTX 3070 FEīefore we overclock the GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition, take note that this is a uniquely designed video card from NVIDIA.

This review today is focused on Overclocking the GeForce RTX 3070 FE and then showing comparison performance with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti in several games at 1440p, 4K and with and without Ray Tracing. We feel that overclocking may be the key to making the GeForce RTX 3070 FE exceed the performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE in the games it was slower at. One aspect we did not cover in our launch review was Overclocking the GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition video card. For the most part, the GeForce RTX 3070 FE mostly came in right under the performance of the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE, save for a few instances where it was just on-par with GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE. In our review of the GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition we found that it trades-blows with the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE depending on the game and resolution. NVIDIA touted the GeForce RTX 3070 as providing the same performance level as previous generations GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FE which has an $1,199 price tag. The GeForce RTX 3070 is mainly the replacement for the previous generation GeForce RTX 2070 and GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER. The GeForce RTX 3070 FE is based on the new Ampere architecture and comes in under the GeForce RTX 3080 on pricing and performance. We reviewed the GeForce RTX 3070 Founders Edition which has an MSRP of $499.
RTX 3070 POWER CONSUMPTION SERIES
On October 27 th, NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 3070 series video cards.
