Hey all!

I've seen a ton of videos on how to Undervolt your GPU using MSI Afterburner but they all have slightly different ways of doing it. And when I go into the comments there's usually a comment saying to do it another way.

What is the right way?

So far from what I've gathered you want to bring down the entire curve down by reducing the mv by 300 then go to a wattage you desire say 750mv in this case and RAISE it to a frequency like 1650mhz on the 750mv line then flatten out the curve.

Is this the most correct way? Thank you.
 
thats sounds like nvidia undervolting
basicly you want lower voltage at given clock speed
there is thousands of cores, so you do need to push your GPU hard to utilise all of those cores to see if its stable or not
use frame limiter/power limiter to let GPU sit at some fixed clock, then undervolt until unstable, once unstable, raise slightly voltage and test for stability
once undervolt done for given clock (say 1600MHz)
rise fps limiter/power so gpu would switch to higher clock
and start undervolting again

on some clocks its possible to get low voltages, on some not so much..so at the end it may not exactly look like pure curve at all :)
