Undervolt your RTX 2080 Ti for more FPS! - Tutorial

Tutorial for undervolting and overclocking an RTX 2080 Ti with MSI Afterburner to gain performance, lower heat and power, using a curve-based voltage/frequency setup.

Key Takeaways

Undervolting combined with a tuned core clock can increase performance while modestly reducing heat and power.
Setting the 1025 mV point to around 2000 MHz and locking it is the core method shown for maximum performance.
Lower voltage points like 925 mV offer much better efficiency at the cost of some performance.
Testing and adjusting the curve to the user's temperature and stability limits is essential.

What the video covers

The video is a guide to combining undervolting and overclocking on an NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti using MSI Afterburner.
The creator stresses that the goal is more performance with a modest power and heat reduction, not purely power saving.
The first step is setting the power/voltage offset to -250 in MSI Afterburner.
Using the voltage-frequency curve editor (Ctrl+F), the creator selects the 1025 mV point and raises its frequency to 2000 MHz, then applies and normalizes the curve.
The creator then locks the curve by pressing L, so the GPU holds that voltage/frequency point under load.
Memory clock is raised by +500 MHz and the power limit is unlocked to complete the setup.
Lower voltage points such as 925 mV or 920 mV are presented as more efficient options, trading some performance for significantly lower power draw.
The 925 mV point at around 1800 MHz is suggested for users prioritizing efficiency, with roughly 100 mV less voltage than the 1025 mV setting.
The creator's personal daily curve uses 1025 mV at 2010 MHz core clock with +500 memory offset.
Viewers are advised to test the settings with benchmarks such as Heaven, and to adjust if temperature becomes a problem.

Chapters

What voltage point does the creator use for maximum performance?

The creator recommends the 1025 mV point, raised to 2000 MHz and locked on the voltage curve. This gives the most performance, though it may be a concern if temperatures are high.

What setting should I use if I want better efficiency instead of maximum performance?

The creator suggests the 925 mV point, set to around 1800 MHz with the power offset at -250. This gives less performance but noticeably lower power consumption, about 100 mV less than the 1025 mV setting.

What are the creator's personal daily settings?

The creator uses 1025 mV at exactly 2010 MHz on the core clock, with a +500 memory clock offset. The creator notes that the other recommended settings should also work well for viewers.

All right, guys, welcome back to Washington Post. Now today, here we are with this undervolting and overclocking tutorial. This is not an undervolting to save power. This is another voltage tweak to save power, reduce some heat a little bit, but get a lot more performance. So let's get straight into it.

Speaker A

performance so let's get straight into it first thing you want to do is go here on msi afterburner do we need ms afterburner and heaven benchmark running in the background i have other undervaulting videos if you want to see

Speaker A

First thing you want to do is go here in MSI Afterburner. Do we need MSI Afterburner and Heaven Benchmark running in the background? I have other undervolting videos if you want to see more about this, but basically you want to go here and hit minus 250, okay? At this point, you hit Ctrl+F on the keyboard, open up the curve, and now you want to grab the 1025 millivolt point, okay, on the x-axis, and bring it up to 2000 points, exactly 2000, okay? At this point, go here, hit apply, and the curve will get normalized. Now go on the 2000 point on the 1025, make sure it's at 2000. Click the L button on the keyboard, hit apply again, locked in. Here we are. Now you just go on the memory clock and set 500 in there, hit apply. You go on the power limit, unlock it, and here we are with our undervolt and overclock, quick and easy.

Speaker A

2000 points exactly 2000 okay at this point go here hit apply the curve will get normalized now go on the 2000 point on the one 1025 make sure it's at 2000.

Speaker A

This is if you want to get the most possible power, the better point when it comes to power and efficiency. But to get the absolute most performance, if you have a problem with your temperature, then you can test it. The best point for actual efficiency would be the 920 one. Now let me show you quickly. You just go minus 250, you go on the 925 point, and you can bring it up to like 1800, hit apply. This one is going to give you less performance but way less power consumption. We have a hundred millivolts less, so you might want to try this one out if you want to.

Speaker A

overclock quick and easy this is if you want to get the most possible like power to if like the better point when it comes to power and efficiency but to get the absolute most performance if you have a problem with your temperature

Speaker A

This is my actual curve that I use on the daily. It's at 1025, and it's at exactly 2010 on the core clock, and we have plus 500. This is my personal one, but the ones I told you about before are going to work for you too, so use the other two. Take care, guys. Peace.

Speaker A

1800 hit apply and this one is gonna give you less performance but way less power consumption we have a hundred millivolt less so you might want to try this one out if you want to this is my actual

Speaker A

curve that i use on the daily uh so it's at 1025 and it's at exactly 2010 on the core clock and we have plus 500. this is my personal one but the one i told you before are gonna work for you too so use

Speaker A

the other two take care guys peace
