received new card two days ago. performance is amazing. strong overclocker. i have read many threads about people undervolting their 480s and improving performance. Is this only relevant before the latest drivers? I can overclock to 1370 on core without increasing power. In fact, I don't need more voltage until I get close to 1400.
My card does not appear to throttle at all and never runs hotter than 74-76C under full load for a couple of hours. Clocks do not drop during gaming. So...should 480 owners still undervolt?
 
Solution
I undervolt my 390x and OC.
I don't get much oc regardless of voltage, but undervolting where possible is a great way to reduce heat and increase life.
