[SOLVED] 1080ti overclocking help

[domjam]

im trying to overclock my evga kingpin 1080ti. iv watched a few tutorials online but im stuck. for every video i watch they incresse it beyond 100+ with no p[roblem .when I try to set it to 100+ and run Uniengine vally it crashes my computer...from my understanding you have to increase the voltage..but i don't no by how much..I tried up to +20 but still i get crash. I don't no how much i should increese it to before its a safe indication that my card cant handle the clock speed.

Download and run Gpu-Z: https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/
Click on the Sensors tab. Run Valley, Dishonored, and Superposition again, but in Afterburner:
-Leave the core clock and memory clock on 0
-Max out the power and temp limit sliders
-Leave the voltage slider at 0
-Don't forget to click the Apply button
-Set an 'aggressive' fan curve
I'm interested in the behavior of the gpu core clock and the Performance Cap Reason for those runs.

Thanks for replying..im not sure what an aggressive fan curve is I only have default and custom in MSI after burner. there is an aggressive fan curve preset in precison x1 though. dose it matter what program i use?

 

[domjam]

sorry. Nevermind..I'm being dumb..I can copy the preset settings from Precision x1 to after burner.

You could also just manually put in a fan curve, but that works too.

Not sure how to upload files here. so I just uploaded the log here for you

I took a look at it...

Performance cap reasons were very consistent: it was either idling, or limited by voltage - I asked you to leave it at 0, so that result is as expected.

I'm not seeing anything wrong with the gpu - it's behaving like mine is... and being that you have the Kingpin model, I figured it should have a higher power limit, at least, but it also appears to be capping around 300w.
Open Gpu-Z and click on the Advanced tab, click on the drop-down arrow and select Nvidia Bios.
What are the gpu's default and maximum power limits?

It's also running a fair bit warmer compared to mine as well; it got up to 71C at times. As already mentioned, that is going to affect boost clocks.
That difference is probably caused by our cases and room ambient temps.

While you could max out the voltage slider, it won't improve much. The extra voltage could yield higher clocks, but if the heat isn't kept under control, then it's back to square 1.

There are 2 separate PCIE cables plugged into it, right?

Also make sure that the BIOS which has the higher power limit (I believe there are three separate BIOSes, each with different limits) is selected. There should be a physical switch on the card.

You're right.

Obviously, the LN2 one should be avoided.

are you really playing on a 65in 4k tv lol
