RTX 20 Series Owners Club

blah blah blah basically a copy of that other forums same thread except I posted it first and who knows if I'll have a google sheet to keep track of who owns what with what overclocks and benchmark scores.

[Andrew]

Neato, I have one of those. I've never even tried to overclock it.

[NavJack27]

Yeah, overclocking these never seems all that engaging. Do a + whatever offset to the core and if its cold enough maybe it clocks higher, maybe it doesn't. It's never a big number change but in some benchmarks even 25mhz more nets a difference. Strange times we live in.

[Andrew]

I just don't overclock anything anymore. I just can't be bothered to do it. The last time I did overclock was when I still has my Phenom II because it needed to be overclocked to get games to run decently. I replaced that in 2017. I'm not even going to overclock my R5 1600. I'm just going to replace it with an R7 4700X when they release.

I own 2x 2080Ti's. Last time I checked I have +125 Core and +700 on memory. Though I bring it to stock for folding as the OC is not Folding stable. Still have to find a Folding stable OC.

 

Overclocking is still applicable BUT with things like processors being so highly binned these days and with decent boost algorithms, its less needed. Though OC is still applicable if you want that all core OC.

I have one of those 2080ti things, not overclocked.

I'll give it a try once the new case is build with an extra rad just to keep the card cold

I've only overclocked one GPU in the past 15 years, and all my CPU's besides the pair that is running now (too lazy I guess )

For anyone interested I have a Galax HOF 2000 Watt BIOS. Essentially there are no power limits on this BIOS. Great if you want to set your own clock and voltage curve limit and not have the cards speeds go up and down. Obviously though you would need to ensure you cool your card adequately depending on how mad you were going with in. This works on non reference cards. I have had it running on my EVGA FTW Ultra Hybrids just fine and those are a 2x8 Pin PCI-E power configuration. The Galax HOF actually has 3x 8Pin PCI-E power configuration but the BIOS still works for 2x8 Pin on a sensible OC. You can see the BIOS attached.

Who knows, I might need that E

Glad to be of service lol.

I own the RTX 2070. If amd keeps putting out like they have been when I upgrade again in 5 years or so I will be going with them simply because of the way Nvidia has been shafting customers. EVERY new card I've bought for a computer since 2005,has been from them then they get me with the memory on the gtx 970,and now with releasing a newer BETTER version of cards just 9 months after the release of the first. Here's what that 9 months means to the consumers! https://www.game-debate.com/gpu/inde...20Gaming%208GB :mad: Edit: Yes,I own the EVGA RTX 2070 XC .

Yeah the shafting by Nvidia with newer models less than a year down the line is absolute crap. However like yourself, with Nvidia having the better performing cards, you are stuck between a rock and a hard place lol.

Maybe by the time I have to finally upgrade,intel will have gotten THEIR shyte together??

You never know, will also be interesting to see what Intel throws into the arena with their GPU's. Not sure yet if they are serious about competing on a high performance gaming level with Nvidia/AMD. Will have to wait and see.

[NavJack27]

For whatever reason, every time I use an Intel iGPU I get the feeling that they don't "cheat" with actual driver performance tweaks... If you get what I'm saying. Like, AMD and Nvidia for years have worked to do gameready or whatever type tweaks to get games more optimal and my feeling is that Intel is almost like, if you use their GPU you are getting something akin to a 'reference rasterizer' driver for better or worse. I could be wrong. But yeah, I was way more hype for Intel graphics when I met the team a year ago at GDC 2019...

 

But now... Not so much, especially with all this Xe and Ponte Vecchio stuff going to datacenters and compute first. I mean, that is kind neat, but people are expecting gaming performance and if they don't make a showing for that... Yeah... But I meet Bob Swan in person and DAMN he has nice teeth so I could be entirely wrong about everything!

 

I met Jim Keller... That's cool.

That must have been a decent meet by the looks of things. I think if Intel was to ignore or at the very least not capitalize on the gaming market, that would be a mistake. Of course a lot of performance comes from well optimized drivers, but one can only hope Intel can back up drivers with competitive hardware.
