Did the same exact thing to my 3080 gaming trio x. I was getting 80-83c when playing Warzone (stock). After undervolting, max temp while playing is now at just 60-61c. Virtually no fps drop. Thank you so much for this!
Man you saved me bro. Literally. I have a 3080 and two 1440p monitors. My GPU temps would get up to 80C while under heavy load. I applied an almost identical curve that you showed and now I'm getting 67c under max load, on all high settings 1440p 144hz. Seemed to actually improve my performance as well. Thanks bro!!
Following this I got my 3080 to 1920Mhz at 830mV. An impressive 260W power and stable. Dropped temps by over 10 degrees and I can now run fans at under 50%. It's almost silent. Great guide.
Wow this is a very impressive result. I would definitely take the 1-3% performance hit for ~100 watts less power and thus a much cooler and quieter GPU. I saved this video for reference when I get my hands on my 3080.
@@someone-wi4xl the new card is said to compete against the 3080 and be lower power usage. Remains to be seen how low it will be. Just using gddr6 instead of 6x will reduce the power. Though the boost speeds will reach over 2300 from the driver leak... Its only for boosting and not constant. So... should be maybe 250 to 300w max.
Finally got a 3080 and your vid was extremely helpful. Thanks for walking me through it man. U didn't talk like we we're kids and kept it simple enough to understand, great work.
@@mikeycrackson Yeah i had isssues with my Gigabyte 2080 aswell. i'm super happy with my TUF 3080, haven't seen it go past 62c yet, and that's in Quiet mode aswell.
this was very helpful. I undervolted my EVGA rtx 3080 and got reduced temps, less power consumption, and improved port royal scores. steps I took: underclocked -270 to get to base clock speed. took the curve at .850mV raised the curve to 1905Mhz. custom fan curve. stock port royal scores 11200, undervolted scored 11555 in game GPU temps went from 74C to 65C. thanks again!
Glad I found this video, I ended up undervolting to 900mv but at a solid 1950mhz. It was actually stable at 875mv, but bumped it to 900mv for that extra tiny bit of stability. Stock it wanted 1.1V for 1950mhz. So it's about a 200mv undervolt! This dropped my power usage by about 80-90w and temps barely scrape 59-63C. The crazy part is that in certain games, it's actually an overclock. The Witcher 3 for example at stock clocked only at around 1850-1875mhz. Thanks for posting this!
@@FeisarX Yup I followed the tips by first starting with -290 core clock, then clicking the point at 900mV and moving it up to 1950mhz. Of course tweaked a few hours to get to this point where to me is the best balance. Right now I'm just messing around with 800mv to see how high mhz I can get at that low voltage.
@@MrAskolein Yes well worth the effort. I kept tweaking and ended up at 1905mhz at 850mV, temps now are crazy cool topping out at 58C in the Witcher 3, and super crazy 50C in COD MW. Ridiculous efficiency
@@soapa4279 i have trouble setting up this curve like you describe. Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your curve? What are your others settings exactly? I would really appreciate it, I am very intrigued by your setup! :)
For those wondering: NOT every 3080 will be able to achieve this significant a result. The high default power consumption is there to ensure that every retail card on the market will hit its advertised clockspeed and run stable at that speed. If your underfoot is unstable you'll need to slowly increase it in small increments til you find your specific GPUs minimum stable voltage! YMMV!
Absolutely fantastic. With the instructions I was able to measure the temperatures of the MSI 3080 Suprim from 77C to 58C in 3DMark. And the backplate is only lukewarm. Insane. Big thanks!
Not only does this give you a high efficiency card, but also removes throttling because you steady the card as lowest possible voltages which again reduces your temps. So the cooler has a easier job, which makes it more quiet. A custom fan curve is also a great idea to do along with such undervolt+overclock
This was incredibly helpful and I have subbed your channel. As an initial test on my 3090 FE I raised my power limit to max, and dropped the core -280. Then at 950mV I raised the curve to 1905Mhz and it ran like a champ, got my best port royal score. I will continue to play with this technique.
Also was using the curve demonstrated and it was doing well. After playing around I am at 918mv at 1905mhz. I think that may be as far as I can push it though. 3090 FE is the card I'm using.
I followed this video and used the fan curve in msi afterburner (2nd tab in settings) and the temps went from 70-75C on BF5 3440x1440p ultra to 55-60C. (I haven’t seen it exceed 60C yet) Im getting about the same fps but it uses way less power and has way better temps. Thanks for the video! 👍🏽
@@natevirtual I own the 3080 Founders Edition. I used the settings at 5:05 Profile 1: 1905 Mhz at 862mV but I increased mine to so 893mV Profile 2: 1815 Mhz at 806 but Increased mine with 30 again. I suggest starting at the same clock speeds and voltages. Maybe increase the voltage by 10-20 each time to see whether it's stable or not
This is by far the best undervolt method I've ever seen. The way you lower the clock slider and then just slide up one dot in the editor, and then you're done, makes this so much easier to do.
@@BlueCombPL if lowering the power limit works for you, then that's great. Setting a voltage/frequency curve limit with the full power level works far better for me.
@@pf100andahalf you don't get a point. Method shown in this video is harmful for GPU, because you will get HIGHER voltages and LOWER clocks than stock ones when PL gets triggered. Just look at frequency curve and analyse it. Or compare voltages between stock and this "undervolting" in FurMark.
@@BlueCombPL A gpu has a voltage limit that it can't go over. Doing it the way shown in the video, I get higher clocks and lower temperatures. I think you're doing it wrong somehow is all I can say. I've been doing it like shown in this video for a long time now with a 3060 ti and a 3080 and I'll always do it like this.
There are loads of videos like this and it does work. For no reason they overvolt initially and then arbitrarily decide on a value to undervolt it just happens that in this video he ends up barely undervolting if at all and back where he started on the original curve, which it always achieves because the boost is then limited. But it does run cooler. @@BlueCombPL
I was searching for this because my 3080 is very very hot, it warms the entire room, almost impraticable. Out of the box my card was at around 1850mhz at 76º with the fans at max. Now, with the settings you pointed, the temps are around 68º clocking at 1890mhz and fans are not even close to the max. Thank you so much.
I just undervolted my 3080 FE. I used 3D Mark Port Royale as Benchmark. After some tinkering it was clear that there was a stable Line. Starting from 900mv and 2000Mhz going down to 700mv and 1600MHz. Every -25mv/-50Mhz step was stable. The powerdraw went from 900mv and 320W (Powerlimit) to 700mv and 195W (total of 6fps lost in PR compared to Stock). Every -25mv step was a "loss" of 15W. For my FE 825mv and 1850Mhz (275W) had the same Result as Stock. But i decided to use 775mv and 1740Mhz (240-245W) as my Default. Lost 2 fps in Port Royale with that UV. Using 700-725mv you have the same Powerdraw as a 3070, but still MUCH more Performance.
Thank you so much for this video! I actually tried undervolting my 3080 today and ended up with 912mV. It seems like I got a pretty bad GPU as 900mV was already unstable in the Forza Horizon 4 Benchmark. But nevertheless I got from 310-320W power consumption down to 245-255W. Lost 1 FPS in Average but I don't really care about that single FPS as 65W less is so impressive. And on top of that I went from 11051 points in 3DMark Port Royale (stock) to 11462 (max 912mV).
Yup, the infamous silicon lottery but it's also very much game/load dependant.. Some benchmarks and games might seem stable, others may not.. I.e. I can set my MSI RTX 3080 Ventus 3x OC to 1920Mhz with 850mV and run most benchmarks and games like Call of Duty etc fine, but if I start playing Red Dead Redemption 2 it eventually crashes.. I had to go up to 906mV and lower the clock to 1905Mhz to get it stable in that game.. I cannot go any higher on the clock due to the powerlimit on the MSI Ventus unfortunately, but a stable 1905Mhz with less than 320W usage is good enough for me..
I did this with my MSI 3080 Ventus 3X , at first it was crashing because the voltage was too low (you can’t follow exact values in this video my card acted as if it was just off) but minor adjustments fixed it. I did -280 and then set the curve at 1900 around 850 and it’s been working fine ever since. I did see a 5-10 degree Celsius drop.
Apparently it depends also card by card not just model, literally each card. Thanks. This card is the only available now for 1k... I don't know if 6800 is better being 16gb and much less power draw.And being Ray tracing soon a thing also for Radeon I think. With FSR 2.0 and beyond
Thanks for a clear guide dude. Used the exact same settings, went from 75c under load to 64c with no FPS loss so far with my Gigabyte Vision 3080. Will see how it goes.
@@Robin_NX not sure what you mean by "profile", I just tweaked the voltages exactly as in the video. I have been playing games for a few hours and so far no crashes.
@@Robin_NX try lowering the core clock in 50 increments or smth, and don't go aggressive on the curve, set and then test. if all is good then lower it. I guess that's the standard principle in all over-and-under-clocking procedures, establish a stable base first
Great video and great description of what to do. Was getting some coil whine on my 3080. After undervolting and adjusting my fan profile I've almost completely eliminated the whine plus dropped the temp by at least 10 degrees and with no noticable hit to performance. Plus the added benefit of less power usage. Good stuff... You've earned a subscriber!
Awesome video!!!! Just applied some undervolting to my 3080FE and I dropped over 10c and my fans rarely hit 1600rpm on auto. Card runs around 72c at 1500rpm vs 82c at 2200+rpm on auto can curve. I dropped the curve -290 and settled at 850mv at 1850mhz. I don’t notice any performance decrease but the temp drop and fan speed is now fantastic!!!
It's actually interesting to see that the undervolted one consistently hits higher frequencies while being cooler, while the stock one fluctuates a lot and is losing by ~1-2fps.
Thank you,this greatly reduced the heat outputted by my RTX 3080 ASUS TUF card into my PC case. If everybody sees this,it will greatly reduce the PC case internal temperatures when the card is under load.
@@hankhillsdisappointedsigh they are great as in 63-64 degrees Celsius on stock voltage but the heat being dissipated by the card into my case was insane so I undervolted it. You need lots of fans and a large case for these cards. I now get 57-58 degrees max inside the card and the radiated heat is much less in my PC case. The card is also very silent.
@@comancostin4623 Interesting, I only have 2 140mm intake fans and 1 120mm exhaust fan with a mesh front cover on a mid tower case . Cpu is air cooled by a Dark Rock Pro4. I currently have an order waiting to ship for an FE , but I wanted something cooler and quieter. I guess the FE would at least be blowing it out the back with a rear fan. Perhaps that would end up being better than the TUF for my whole system. What is your fan situation?
@@hankhillsdisappointedsigh 2 Frontal 140mm Arctic intake fans,2 120mm Arctic exhaust fans on the top and 1 120mm Arctic exhaust fans on the back. And it still heats the case. The aluminium back plate gets awefully hot with RTX On in Control.
You’re amazing! I was getting 80° C with my new 3080ti on DOOM Eternal maxed out at 1440p and now I’m in the low 70s. Thank you for making this so simple!
i own an rtx 2070. started experiencing engine error popups and game crashes after a whole year of gaming on it. i remember not knowing what the real reason was because i had no knowledge of undervolting at the time. i did a weeks worth of troubleshooting and even resetting windows and finally figured out from a certain google search that it was only my gpu and not anything to do with the games itself. now that i have knowledge of undervolting, i am able to push my card to 862 mv at 1845 mhz which i am so happy about. i originally went very conservative at started at 1300 mhz with the lowest voltage you can go because thats what i thought was my peak performance maintenance was at, at the time. im only here because of everyone complaining about their rtx 3000 series cards crashing and im here watching jayztwocents videos which originally helped me find out the reason to why my games crashed. using his 3080 and 3090 videos to help fix my 2070 and im watching you for the heck of it to see how you would do it yourself. keep up the great and helpful tips :)
This is exactly what I did with my Aorus Master 3080 which is a beast for cooling. Already ran 63C OCD. Did the -290 Core and settled on 2055mhz and +700 mem clock. I run 56C stable in Battlefield V.
This is just what I was looking for, my 3080 was always heating up and dropping frequency even with aggressive (and annoying) fan curve. Now its practically silent, running sub 70C and maintain over 1900mhz. Very happy with the results. Thanks.
At first my game keep on crashing and monitor is blacking out, but after a couple of restart it runs very smooth and really quiet! Thankyou so much you helped me a lot!
Why drag the entire curve down just to pull that one point up? Sure, you can raise that one point and flatten the curve to limit the clock at that voltage, which works if your GPU is under maximum load. But for the rest of the curve, you'll get a lower clock at the same voltage, meaning less efficiency across the board when you're not using your GPU at 100%. Isn't it better to just raise the entire curve and then flatten the curve at the clock speed you want to limit? This way you'll still get the same result but with more efficiency across the entire curve.
Running the OC scanner tool in the top right of the curve window will give a good idea of how high the GPU can go for every voltage step. After it has run pick the voltage you want to target and then apply the same leveling technique from there. Much better than guessing, then benching, then guessing again.
@@Tony72495 that's unfortunate. I haven't had that issue before and I have used it on a lot of desktops and laptops. It's normal that it can take quite a while as it runs through it's testing and may appear locked up. Did you try a more recent version of Afterburner? If you managed to get a good undervolt or overclock that's the most important thing.
@@Berserkism The most recent, 4.6.3 beta. And it didn't just lock up, it rebooted. Went to black screen, then the BIOS came up, then booted into Windows.
Seems pretty similar to what people were doing on the AMD side of things, shipped with voltages slightly too high to make sure every card hit advertised frequencies so people undervolted, that reduced the thermal/power load on the GPU and therefore it could actually clock itself higher if you increased the power limit overall.
Just wanted to say thanks. I noticed my 3080 temps creeping into the 80s over the summer (thermal throttling starts at about 85 on my card, and average temps were inching dangerously close), and this tutorial brought me back down to about 77 degrees on average. Maybe lose like 3% performance for it as well, which is worth it imo.
@@PhantasmXD yeah but i live in a country with hyperinflation so even if it cost +60% than the normal one by the time we finally get stock the price will skyrocket a lot
Thanks man! It brings my 3080 Gigabyte Eagle from 74 degrees to 64 degrees using 875mV at 1900mHz. Also, the COIL WHINE IS GONE! Damn! I hope it stays stable
@@PhantasmXD Yup, it is pretty aggressive. I was getting crashes at 852 or something like that with 1905. Try something less aggressive, it will still bring a lot of improvement in terms of temperature. You can try 882 at 1905 as I did, it should work for you too :D
Nice. I upgraded from a 5700XT to a 3080 and already did a UV on the 5700XT so I was familiar with how awesome undervolting is. This took my temps from mid 70s to mid 60s and I think I'm getting slightly better fps.
Did this to my 3080 ventus. I was shocked how much better my temps were. I went from 72 c max to 65 c in warzone. This is at 60% fan speed so I barely hear my pc now. I play on a 4k 60hz tv, so I don't even notice a performance difference either.
Thank you for helping, this works for 3090 XC3 Ultras as well - this particular model of 3090 only has a double 8-pin and from the factory it will try to draw more voltage than it can handle, resulting in a lot of power cycles, solved it by undervolting and fixed at 900 mV and 1950 MHz.
Sean C it’s good now man, was idling at 59-62C and max on 84. Now just 29-32C and max at 70 on an hour run on WarZone Max setting. P/s: this is running on an NZXT H1 too with thermal being a little more restricted but this is still pretty good numbers.
I have the XC3 Ultra too, but it's in a H510 elite which really restricts airflow, and I'm using an 280mm AIO. It was running all the way to 80C on stock settings. played with the undervolt now its sitting between 70-72C
@@hankhillsdisappointedsigh actually the only benchmarking app i have is heaven which i dont know if its reliable for temp monitoring. I was playing warzone, apex legends and dmc5 with everything max and even the resolution scaling. I had to undervolt at .875mv at 1860mhz and fiddle around with the fan curve
thank you very much sir for this information! i need to give you mad props here. after doing this and a fan tweak, the fans on my Zotac 3080 Trinity doesn't sound like there's a mini jetplane inside my desktop anymore :) my GPU temp highs are also way lower now, like 63C after doing the AC Odyssey benchmarks at Ultra High settings. Fan Speed RPMs now at 1470s and lower 60s%. Board power highest at 213.7W. so far none of my 5 benchmark runs crashed. like night and day sir, like night and day. will be showing the AC Odyssey benchmarks on my next channel video :)
That's crazy! My RTX 3080 TUF OC dropped from ~76°C to ~57°C (~220W) and I noticed absolutely no difference in FPS! This is while playing CoD BOCW Thanks so much!
I have the same card but get crashes when I boot up games when using this undervolt. Did you follow the video exactly or make your own changes? Sorry if dumb question, I'm new to undervolting
@@smoltro1973 not every card wil follow this exact same settings due to silicon differences, you need to use this as a base but raise the voltage slowly until you get stability
It's awesome. I have a TUF RTX 3080 and the results are insane. I get 1 fps less, but my temp lost -10c! Before undervolting I had 74c maximum, now I have 66 maximum after 25 minutes of heaven benchmark. Cod cold war maximum 60c. That is really awesome!
I undervolted my RTX 3080. I set it up to 850mV for 1900MHZ and I never had better benchmark score. Core clock speed increased about 100MHZ (average 1830) without any bigger jumps, definitely the most settled graph I had so far (btw it was tragic at 950mV, very unstable ). But my graphic temps didn't lower at all during the benchmark tests... the same with the power consumption, still at 320W. All measured during the Heaven benchmark. Thanks for your video.
my first time undervolting with your vid it was very easy and understandable, thanks so much. My Gainward 3090 runs now at 0.850v 1860mhz +200mhz memory.
Man! you're a legend. Having just done this my card doesn't break 59 degrees when running Valhalla at 4k Max settings. My guess is it's nearly 10 degrees cooler than what it was before
I don't know if my undervolt is solid yet as I still need to test, but mate you saved me a whole lot of trouble until my waterblock gets here. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! At peak/my ideal gaming settings I went from 84 deg to 74 deg! I used to feel my HP 30L was gonna take me to Europe with the jet engine noises and high temps 😂. My 3080 is now living its best life 🙌🏽
Thanks, good advice. My card was running fast but hot. This keeps temps under 65, improve efficiency by 27.5% at a 6% performance loss (vs a max stable overclock!!) with a little under +800 on the memory clock. Cheers
I had been looking for a better way to customize the boost and voltage curve....nearly impossible in precision. Working with this strategy now! Thank you!!
Incredible. I have become an undervolt convert. Makes me wonder why nVidia and the OEM's are running these cards unnecessarily high for almost no gains. The RTX3000 series cards are already ridiculously powerful.
This is my first time coming across this feature in Afterburner. I just got my 3080, but my new PSU hasn't arrived yet so I'm a bit reluctant to test it properly for fear of blowing my old 550W PSU! Hopefully the postman will have a present for me tomorrow!
This step does not make sense to me either. Applying a negative clock offset is shifting the entire curve down, effectively "overvolting" (increasing the voltage at every frequency).
I found I still needed to alter the temperature/clock curve, otherwise it wont stay at 1900+. I set the max clock to be 1950~ all the way up to 83C. For some reason by default it's set to 1700 once you activate the custom curve in Afterburner?
Just thought this needed to be said since it was something I encountered years back. On MSI Afterburner if you did turn on any monitoring like GPU temp for example it will cause "UserBenchmark" tests to fail.
Already did something similar but how much should i try to push it? How big is the difference in heat production between 950, 900 and 850 mV? Basically, is it worth trying to run the top frequency at 850 and risk instability instead of 950?
Well i lowered from 75C to 70-71C on cyberpunk. 60 watts less. Fans spin at 60% instead of 90%. It’s good, i guess? Edit: i undervolted 862 1875mhz, set up fan on afterburner as well. Lowered temps to 64C and only lost 2 fps on cyberpunk. Thanks a lot!
Doesn't this mean when your card is idling it will use more power, we've lowered the frequency to voltage curve meaning at low clock speeds the voltage supplied is higher. For example the default curve 850 mV would usually be given at something around 1670MHz, when I lower the curve my card will use 850mV at 1400MHz.
I've only ever seen my card hit those intermittent speeds (and corresponding higher voltage) in some menu's of windows apps. Every game I play goes to the max clock pretty much instantly. The OC screen does not change idle behaviour

mate, ur save my day. asus rtx 3060 dual overclock edition. before: 77* now: 843mw, 1860 mhz, 57*. thats just amazing!
Hi! Thanks for the detailed analysis. Please tell me if there were any problems on 0.8? Not in the sense that the FPS just got smaller, but that games or programs began to work inadequately? Bugs, crashes, death screens?
Thanks. I used this to do my FTW3. I dropped it to 850mV and it's saving me 9° C at the cost of ~3FPS. I don't have a way to measure my power usage, but I imagine it's quite a bit lower.
I put my EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 to 0.850v with +500 OC MEM and custom fan curve to stay at about 50%fan speed when gaming. I get about -6°C temps for -1% FPS.
with power consumption rising with every new generation release, overclocking is becoming more and more obsolete. Ill never overclock my gpus ever again
damnnn... just got my hands on a TUF RTX 3080, was running a bit hotter than i liked, after your fan curve adjustments, running at 52c on cyberpunk, beautiful!
i came here so by the of the month wifey wont faint by our electric bill.....maybe i'll just blame that unplugged mini fridge we have on hallway upstairs lol
I don't get it. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what but when I put my 3090 Ventus at ~875 mv at ~1900mhz, there is basically no change. Still running at 82 C and drawing ~340w Or do I just have a really crap card? EDIT: Basically doesn't matter what voltage I put my card at 1800-1900mhz, it always draws around 340w. Unless I drag the power limit slider down, only then does it start drawing less power but that also drastically reduces frequency.
Than you very much, I'm applying this technique to my Zotac 3060ti now. Just one question. How in the fox are people UV'ing their 3060ti below 0.9V while boosting to 1.9Ghz, some even above 2Ghz. That's 3080 numbers... Did they win the chip lottery or what? My card on stock, throttles all the way back down to the 1600mhz and even 1500s sometimes, it's ridiculous :( Bought thermal compounds and even replaced the pads, no joy. It's so demotivating.
An obvious question seems to be what about stability? I mean, after the tweak the GPU will be trying to hit the higher frequencies with less voltage than needed. Wouldn't that lead to crashes under load?
Not really obvious since almost everyone watching this assumes Keith did the due diligence and this uv/oc is stable. 3080 stock voltage is quite liberal and not needed for the vast majority of cards so a slight uv is pretty much guaranteed. With these cards, you can get
@@Disco_Potato exactly so many just come and copy w out testing for themselves. Just run some games n see if you get crashes or a benchmark like 3Dmark
Nice. 881 mV @ 1995 Mhz Clock and 10401 Mhz Memory Clock. 10 degrees less temperature and about 60-70 less power draw (down from 360 watts). 1-2% more FPS. Gigabyte Gaming OC.
Thank you so much, my 3090 was power throttling and causesing fps to spike up and down. This video saved me from selling the 3090 and thinking it was a piece of junk. I would of never guessed that this video card did not need that much MV- voltage. Its crazy. I thought it needed more wattage.. That is completly inaccurate.

Applied this to my 3080 yesterday runs alot cooler and quieter and the loss in fps isnt even noticed as its minimal, thanks for the great video.

this was very helpful. I undervolted my EVGA rtx 3080 and got reduced temps, less power consumption, and improved port royal scores.
steps I took:
underclocked -270 to get to base clock speed.
took the curve at .850mV raised the curve to 1905Mhz.
custom fan curve.
stock port royal scores 11200, undervolted scored 11555
in game GPU temps went from 74C to 65C.
thanks again!
Thx a lot, got 11474 after undervolting my EVGA
What evga 3080 xc3 or ftw?
@@destino813 xc3
THANKS
So far so good following your steps, thank you
Glad I found this video, I ended up undervolting to 900mv but at a solid 1950mhz. It was actually stable at 875mv, but bumped it to 900mv for that extra tiny bit of stability. Stock it wanted 1.1V for 1950mhz. So it's about a 200mv undervolt! This dropped my power usage by about 80-90w and temps barely scrape 59-63C. The crazy part is that in certain games, it's actually an overclock. The Witcher 3 for example at stock clocked only at around 1850-1875mhz. Thanks for posting this!
@@FeisarX Yup I followed the tips by first starting with -290 core clock, then clicking the point at 900mV and moving it up to 1950mhz. Of course tweaked a few hours to get to this point where to me is the best balance. Right now I'm just messing around with 800mv to see how high mhz I can get at that low voltage.
Oh like a 2 step curve then?
I'm going to try that rn
@@MrAskolein Yes well worth the effort. I kept tweaking and ended up at 1905mhz at 850mV, temps now are crazy cool topping out at 58C in the Witcher 3, and super crazy 50C in COD MW. Ridiculous efficiency
@@soapa4279 i have trouble setting up this curve like you describe.
Would you mind sharing a screenshot of your curve? What are your others settings exactly?
I would really appreciate it, I am very intrigued by your setup! :)
3080 or 3090?
This is insane I just tested Watchdogs Legion and got the same FPS in the benchmark for much lower temps and 400W total system from the wall.
Thanks for this video, Keith. Everyone's always focused on adding extra fans for cooling, but not many people talk about undervolting.
For those wondering: NOT every 3080 will be able to achieve this significant a result. The high default power consumption is there to ensure that every retail card on the market will hit its advertised clockspeed and run stable at that speed.
If your underfoot is unstable you'll need to slowly increase it in small increments til you find your specific GPUs minimum stable voltage!
YMMV!
3:06
You can either Hold SHIFT or CTRL and drag on the of square in the chart down instead of using the core clock slider.
Absolutely fantastic. With the instructions I was able to measure the temperatures of the MSI 3080 Suprim from 77C to 58C in 3DMark. And the backplate is only lukewarm. Insane. Big thanks!
Not only does this give you a high efficiency card, but also removes throttling because you steady the card as lowest possible voltages which again reduces your temps. So the cooler has a easier job, which makes it more quiet. A custom fan curve is also a great idea to do along with such undervolt+overclock
Exactly. Ur not sending twenty cars in a two lane highway anymore it’s a solid 6-8 cars constant in each lane with no hiccups
This was incredibly helpful and I have subbed your channel. As an initial test on my 3090 FE I raised my power limit to max, and dropped the core -280. Then at 950mV I raised the curve to 1905Mhz and it ran like a champ, got my best port royal score. I will continue to play with this technique.
Thanks for your comment. I'm trying to with my 3090, any recommendation?
@@loc.dev. Hey guys, i also have a evga 3090 XC3 and i undervolted to 868mv and underclocked to 1920mhz and i runs great!
Also was using the curve demonstrated and it was doing well. After playing around I am at 918mv at 1905mhz. I think that may be as far as I can push it though. 3090 FE is the card I'm using.
I followed this video and used the fan curve in msi afterburner (2nd tab in settings) and the temps went from 70-75C on BF5 3440x1440p ultra to 55-60C. (I haven’t seen it exceed 60C yet) Im getting about the same fps but it uses way less power and has way better temps. Thanks for the video! 👍🏽
Which model 3080 did you do this on? Would you mind sharing which voltage dot you raised above the limit line?
@@natevirtual
I own the 3080 Founders Edition.
I used the settings at 5:05
Profile 1: 1905 Mhz at 862mV but I increased mine to so 893mV
Profile 2: 1815 Mhz at 806 but Increased mine with 30 again.
I suggest starting at the same clock speeds and voltages. Maybe increase the voltage by 10-20 each time to see whether it's stable or not
@@zertyfield thanks so much for your response! I'll try that
@@zertyfield did you mean "decrease" voltage?
This is by far the best undervolt method I've ever seen. The way you lower the clock slider and then just slide up one dot in the editor, and then you're done, makes this so much easier to do.
You meant "the worst". Set power limit to 60% and I hope you'll see, what I'm talking about.
@@BlueCombPL if lowering the power limit works for you, then that's great. Setting a voltage/frequency curve limit with the full power level works far better for me.
@@pf100andahalf you don't get a point. Method shown in this video is harmful for GPU, because you will get HIGHER voltages and LOWER clocks than stock ones when PL gets triggered. Just look at frequency curve and analyse it. Or compare voltages between stock and this "undervolting" in FurMark.
@@BlueCombPL A gpu has a voltage limit that it can't go over. Doing it the way shown in the video, I get higher clocks and lower temperatures. I think you're doing it wrong somehow is all I can say. I've been doing it like shown in this video for a long time now with a 3060 ti and a 3080 and I'll always do it like this.
There are loads of videos like this and it does work. For no reason they overvolt initially and then arbitrarily decide on a value to undervolt it just happens that in this video he ends up barely undervolting if at all and back where he started on the original curve, which it always achieves because the boost is then limited. But it does run cooler. @@BlueCombPL
Thank you sir! Was able to lower my average temp of about 66c to 55c on my FE. 825 mv and 1800 mhz . You have earned a sub
Using GPU-Z to monitor, I observed average board draw power went from 320w to 250w
Did you drop the core clock -290 like he did in the video? I have a FE too but I can’t seem to get it right
Thanks! My MSI Ventus 3080 was running SOOO hot and throttling. A good undervolt solved all my woes.
cause msi put a shitty pcb and fucked the vrms up
I was searching for this because my 3080 is very very hot, it warms the entire room, almost impraticable. Out of the box my card was at around 1850mhz at 76º with the fans at max.
Now, with the settings you pointed, the temps are around 68º clocking at 1890mhz and fans are not even close to the max. Thank you so much.
I just undervolted my 3080 FE. I used 3D Mark Port Royale as Benchmark. After some tinkering it was clear that there was a stable Line. Starting from 900mv and 2000Mhz going down to 700mv and 1600MHz. Every -25mv/-50Mhz step was stable. The powerdraw went from 900mv and 320W (Powerlimit) to 700mv and 195W (total of 6fps lost in PR compared to Stock). Every -25mv step was a "loss" of 15W.
For my FE 825mv and 1850Mhz (275W) had the same Result as Stock. But i decided to use 775mv and 1740Mhz (240-245W) as my Default. Lost 2 fps in Port Royale with that UV.
Using 700-725mv you have the same Powerdraw as a 3070, but still MUCH more Performance.
Thank you so much for this video! I actually tried undervolting my 3080 today and ended up with 912mV. It seems like I got a pretty bad GPU as 900mV was already unstable in the Forza Horizon 4 Benchmark. But nevertheless I got from 310-320W power consumption down to 245-255W. Lost 1 FPS in Average but I don't really care about that single FPS as 65W less is so impressive. And on top of that I went from 11051 points in 3DMark Port Royale (stock) to 11462 (max 912mV).
Yup, the infamous silicon lottery but it's also very much game/load dependant.. Some benchmarks and games might seem stable, others may not.. I.e. I can set my MSI RTX 3080 Ventus 3x OC to 1920Mhz with 850mV and run most benchmarks and games like Call of Duty etc fine, but if I start playing Red Dead Redemption 2 it eventually crashes.. I had to go up to 906mV and lower the clock to 1905Mhz to get it stable in that game.. I cannot go any higher on the clock due to the powerlimit on the MSI Ventus unfortunately, but a stable 1905Mhz with less than 320W usage is good enough for me..
Apex Legends dont like any OC/UV in my case 🤷♂️ so i need to lower the Powerlimit instead of OC/UV
I did this with my MSI 3080 Ventus 3X , at first it was crashing because the voltage was too low (you can’t follow exact values in this video my card acted as if it was just off) but minor adjustments fixed it. I did -280 and then set the curve at 1900 around 850 and it’s been working fine ever since. I did see a 5-10 degree Celsius drop.
Apparently it depends also card by card not just model, literally each card. Thanks. This card is the only available now for 1k... I don't know if 6800 is better being 16gb and much less power draw.And being Ray tracing soon a thing also for Radeon I think. With FSR 2.0 and beyond
Thanks for a clear guide dude. Used the exact same settings, went from 75c under load to 64c with no FPS loss so far with my Gigabyte Vision 3080. Will see how it goes.
what profille you use?i have the same gpu vision and with the second profile agresive i play rust but at 15 min the game stoped :/
@@Robin_NX not sure what you mean by "profile", I just tweaked the voltages exactly as in the video. I have been playing games for a few hours and so far no crashes.
@@escapetheloops i say profiles because in this video first use one settings and the seconds are more aggressive they wccftechtv say in the video
@@Robin_NX okay, I see. I used the second one, he says that's how his curve looks like so I made it the same.
@@Robin_NX try lowering the core clock in 50 increments or smth, and don't go aggressive on the curve, set and then test. if all is good then lower it. I guess that's the standard principle in all over-and-under-clocking procedures, establish a stable base first
i did your exact undervolting with my suprimx and its working just amazing. temps dropped by 15c 0_0
Great video and great description of what to do. Was getting some coil whine on my 3080. After undervolting and adjusting my fan profile I've almost completely eliminated the whine plus dropped the temp by at least 10 degrees and with no noticable hit to performance. Plus the added benefit of less power usage. Good stuff... You've earned a subscriber!
Awesome video!!!! Just applied some undervolting to my 3080FE and I dropped over 10c and my fans rarely hit 1600rpm on auto. Card runs around 72c at 1500rpm vs 82c at 2200+rpm on auto can curve. I dropped the curve -290 and settled at 850mv at 1850mhz. I don’t notice any performance decrease but the temp drop and fan speed is now fantastic!!!
I used same settings as you on my inno 3D RTX 3080 X4 Chill, i mean...GOD DAMN, thats a big f-in diference !
The clearest explanation of this process by far, every other video I watched left me clueless.
It's actually interesting to see that the undervolted one consistently hits higher frequencies while being cooler, while the stock one fluctuates a lot and is losing by ~1-2fps.
Yep Turing was the exact same. You gain more from the power limit, lower temps = GPU boost plus keeping it more stable
I put 800mv at 1700Mhz on my 3080 trinity and dropped 10ºC
Low temps and a stable boost just by undervolting. Awesome!
Thank you,this greatly reduced the heat outputted by my RTX 3080 ASUS TUF card into my PC case. If everybody sees this,it will greatly reduce the PC case internal temperatures when the card is under load.
How are your thermals on the Asus Tuf? Been wanting that card.
@@hankhillsdisappointedsigh they are great as in 63-64 degrees Celsius on stock voltage but the heat being dissipated by the card into my case was insane so I undervolted it. You need lots of fans and a large case for these cards.
I now get 57-58 degrees max inside the card and the radiated heat is much less in my PC case.
The card is also very silent.
@@comancostin4623 Interesting, I only have 2 140mm intake fans and 1 120mm exhaust fan with a mesh front cover on a mid tower case . Cpu is air cooled by a Dark Rock Pro4. I currently have an order waiting to ship for an FE , but I wanted something cooler and quieter. I guess the FE would at least be blowing it out the back with a rear fan. Perhaps that would end up being better than the TUF for my whole system.
What is your fan situation?
@@hankhillsdisappointedsigh 2 Frontal 140mm Arctic intake fans,2 120mm Arctic exhaust fans on the top and 1 120mm Arctic exhaust fans on the back.

Thank you for making this so simple!
i own an rtx 2070. started experiencing engine error popups and game crashes after a whole year of gaming on it. i remember not knowing what the real reason was because i had no knowledge of undervolting at the time. i did a weeks worth of troubleshooting and even resetting windows and finally figured out from a certain google search that it was only my gpu and not anything to do with the games itself. now that i have knowledge of undervolting, i am able to push my card to 862 mv at 1845 mhz which i am so happy about. i originally went very conservative at started at 1300 mhz with the lowest voltage you can go because thats what i thought was my peak performance maintenance was at, at the time. im only here because of everyone complaining about their rtx 3000 series cards crashing and im here watching jayztwocents videos which originally helped me find out the reason to why my games crashed. using his 3080 and 3090 videos to help fix my 2070 and im watching you for the heck of it to see how you would do it yourself. keep up the great and helpful tips :)
This is exactly what I did with my Aorus Master 3080 which is a beast for cooling. Already ran 63C OCD. Did the -290 Core and settled on 2055mhz and +700 mem clock. I run 56C stable in Battlefield V.
I also have the 3080 Aorus Master. Did you undervolt to 825mv or 950mv?
This is just what I was looking for, my 3080 was always heating up and dropping frequency even with aggressive (and annoying) fan curve. Now its practically silent, running sub 70C and maintain over 1900mhz. Very happy with the results. Thanks.
At first my game keep on crashing and monitor is blacking out, but after a couple of restart it runs very smooth and really quiet! Thankyou so much you helped me a lot!
Why drag the entire curve down just to pull that one point up?
Sure, you can raise that one point and flatten the curve to limit the clock at that voltage, which works if your GPU is under maximum load.
But for the rest of the curve, you'll get a lower clock at the same voltage, meaning less efficiency across the board when you're not using your GPU at 100%.
Isn't it better to just raise the entire curve and then flatten the curve at the clock speed you want to limit?
This way you'll still get the same result but with more efficiency across the entire curve.
Running the OC scanner tool in the top right of the curve window will give a good idea of how high the GPU can go for every voltage step. After it has run pick the voltage you want to target and then apply the same leveling technique from there. Much better than guessing, then benching, then guessing again.
Unfortunately I got a crash the 2 times I ran the OC Scanner.
@@Tony72495 that's unfortunate. I haven't had that issue before and I have used it on a lot of desktops and laptops.
It's normal that it can take quite a while as it runs through it's testing and may appear locked up.
Did you try a more recent version of Afterburner? If you managed to get a good undervolt or overclock that's the most important thing.
@@Berserkism The most recent, 4.6.3 beta. And it didn't just lock up, it rebooted. Went to black screen, then the BIOS came up, then booted into Windows.
My 3080 was running at 57 degC idle. Now it idles at 28-33 degC idle. Around 70degC full load. NO NOTICEABLE FPS HIT. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Seems pretty similar to what people were doing on the AMD side of things, shipped with voltages slightly too high to make sure every card hit advertised frequencies so people undervolted, that reduced the thermal/power load on the GPU and therefore it could actually clock itself higher if you increased the power limit overall.
831 mv for 1900Mhz? Damn you won that silicon lottery
Just wanted to say thanks. I noticed my 3080 temps creeping into the 80s over the summer (thermal throttling starts at about 85 on my card, and average temps were inching dangerously close), and this tutorial brought me back down to about 77 degrees on average. Maybe lose like 3% performance for it as well, which is worth it imo.

Nice. I upgraded from a 5700XT to a 3080 and already did a UV on the 5700XT so I was familiar with how awesome undervolting is. This took my temps from mid 70s to mid 60s and I think I'm getting slightly better fps.
Thanks a lot for this tutorial man, yesterday i thought my 3060 is about to wake up the neighbors, today it's purring like a kitten!
Did this to my 3080 ventus. I was shocked how much better my temps were. I went from 72 c max to 65 c in warzone. This is at 60% fan speed so I barely hear my pc now. I play on a 4k 60hz tv, so I don't even notice a performance difference either.
Till 2000 cards i wanna overclock , 3000 Cards i wanna undervolt how the tables have turned lol
Thank you for helping, this works for 3090 XC3 Ultras as well - this particular model of 3090 only has a double 8-pin and from the factory it will try to draw more voltage than it can handle, resulting in a lot of power cycles, solved it by undervolting and fixed at 900 mV and 1950 MHz.
Been looking for this... Even tho I have EVGA XC3 Ultra but I think I can do about the same numbers with similar result. Thank you again!
How did it go? What are your thermals like? Waiting on that card myself.
Sean C it’s good now man, was idling at 59-62C and max on 84. Now just 29-32C and max at 70 on an hour run on WarZone Max setting.
P/s: this is running on an NZXT H1 too with thermal being a little more restricted but this is still pretty good numbers.
I have the XC3 Ultra too, but it's in a H510 elite which really restricts airflow, and I'm using an 280mm AIO. It was running all the way to 80C on stock settings. played with the undervolt now its sitting between 70-72C

@@smoltro1973 try a little higher voltage / a little lower clock. The more voltage / the less clock stability increase
@@smoltro1973 not every card wil follow this exact same settings due to silicon differences, you need to use this as a base but raise the voltage slowly until you get stability
It's awesome. I have a TUF RTX 3080 and the results are insane. I get 1 fps less, but my temp lost -10c! Before undervolting I had 74c maximum, now I have 66 maximum after 25 minutes of heaven benchmark. Cod cold war maximum 60c. That is really awesome!
I undervolted my RTX 3080. I set it up to 850mV for 1900MHZ and I never had better benchmark score. Core clock speed increased about 100MHZ (average 1830) without any bigger jumps, definitely the most settled graph I had so far (btw it was tragic at 950mV, very unstable ). But my graphic temps didn't lower at all during the benchmark tests... the same with the power consumption, still at 320W. All measured during the Heaven benchmark. Thanks for your video.
Thank you! I was looking at lowering temps without major performance loss.
Just tried this out. You are a wizard. My RTX 3080 FE doesn’t sound like a jet engine as much anymore.
You can overclock your ram without raising voltage and actually be ahead of stock in some applications. Play around with it.
my first time undervolting with your vid it was very easy and understandable, thanks so much. My Gainward 3090 runs now at 0.850v 1860mhz +200mhz memory.
Man! you're a legend. Having just done this my card doesn't break 59 degrees when running Valhalla at 4k Max settings. My guess is it's nearly 10 degrees cooler than what it was before
Oh and it's running at the same framerate too
I don't know if my undervolt is solid yet as I still need to test, but mate you saved me a whole lot of trouble until my waterblock gets here. Thank you so much!
I quasi-locked mine at 700mv 1515mhz for most games and it's enough. I let it get to 1800mhz at 825mv for VR and it's great
Thank you so much! At peak/my ideal gaming settings I went from 84 deg to 74 deg! I used to feel my HP 30L was gonna take me to Europe with the jet engine noises and high temps 😂. My 3080 is now living its best life 🙌🏽
Thanks, good advice. My card was running fast but hot. This keeps temps under 65, improve efficiency by 27.5% at a 6% performance loss (vs a max stable overclock!!) with a little under +800 on the memory clock. Cheers
Took 100W off my 3080, max FPS is a little lower in benchmarks but cant notice at all in game.
I had been looking for a better way to customize the boost and voltage curve....nearly impossible in precision. Working with this strategy now! Thank you!!
I may not fully understand how to optimize this...mostly just ended up with crashes and significantly worse performance without much power saving.
Incredible. I have become an undervolt convert. Makes me wonder why nVidia and the OEM's are running these cards unnecessarily high for almost no gains. The RTX3000 series cards are already ridiculously powerful.
This is my first time coming across this feature in Afterburner. I just got my 3080, but my new PSU hasn't arrived yet so I'm a bit reluctant to test it properly for fear of blowing my old 550W PSU! Hopefully the postman will have a present for me tomorrow!
I don't understand why you brought the whole curve down before applying the voltage curve, could you explain some more please?
This step does not make sense to me either. Applying a negative clock offset is shifting the entire curve down, effectively "overvolting" (increasing the voltage at every frequency).
I found I still needed to alter the temperature/clock curve, otherwise it wont stay at 1900+. I set the max clock to be 1950~ all the way up to 83C. For some reason by default it's set to 1700 once you activate the custom curve in Afterburner?
Gigabyte RTX 3080 Vision:
Full Stable 2000Mhz on 925mV and 1800Mhz on 800mV -4 fps
less
you won silicon lottery with 925mV 2000Mhz
I settled mine at 900mv running at 65 under full load is good enough for me !
Just thought this needed to be said since it was something I encountered years back. On MSI Afterburner if you did turn on any monitoring like GPU temp for example it will cause "UserBenchmark" tests to fail.
My userbenchmark never completes the GPU portion, I do not know how to fix this.
Great video! Went from 80 in game to 63 in game and max load. 3080
Already did something similar but how much should i try to push it?
How big is the difference in heat production between 950, 900 and 850 mV?
Basically, is it worth trying to run the top frequency at 850 and risk instability instead of 950?
my game crahses when i use the one u use. frequency 1920mhz from stock. Do i need use a higher voltage number not to make it crash maybe ?
I was just lowering the power limit %, I didn't know you could change the whole curve. I'm going to try this method instead.
Well i lowered from 75C to 70-71C on cyberpunk. 60 watts less. Fans spin at 60% instead of 90%. It’s good, i guess?
Edit: i undervolted 862 1875mhz, set up fan on afterburner as well. Lowered temps to 64C and only lost 2 fps on cyberpunk. Thanks a lot!
Doesn't this mean when your card is idling it will use more power, we've lowered the frequency to voltage curve meaning at low clock speeds the voltage supplied is higher. For example the default curve 850 mV would usually be given at something around 1670MHz, when I lower the curve my card will use 850mV at 1400MHz.
I am wondering the same thing. Are we missing something here?
I've only ever seen my card hit those intermittent speeds (and corresponding higher voltage) in some menu's of windows apps. Every game I play goes to the max clock pretty much instantly. The OC screen does not change idle behaviour
mate, ur save my day.
asus rtx 3060 dual overclock edition.
before: 77*
now:
843mw, 1860 mhz, 57*.
thats just amazing!
By doing it this way, you're also overvolting the lower frequency of the card
Don't be that guy. This is the way to safely do it and everyone knows it.
How is increasing the volts undervaulting, im confused.
Hi! Thanks for the detailed analysis. Please tell me if there were any problems on 0.8? Not in the sense that the FPS just got smaller, but that games or programs began to work inadequately? Bugs, crashes, death screens?
Great Stuff. Planing on doing Videos about this once my RTX 3080 finally arrives... :(
Thanks. I used this to do my FTW3. I dropped it to 850mV and it's saving me 9° C at the cost of ~3FPS. I don't have a way to measure my power usage, but I imagine it's quite a bit lower.
You can link HWINFO with the Afterburner so you can also monitor gpu power usage.
GPU power in Afterburner can be enabled :)
Hello in the video you say 826 but the results image you show are for 862. What is the right one?
I put my EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 to 0.850v with +500 OC MEM and custom fan curve to stay at about 50%fan speed when gaming. I get about -6°C temps for -1% FPS.
with power consumption rising with every new generation release, overclocking is becoming more and more obsolete. Ill never overclock my gpus ever again
damnnn... just got my hands on a TUF RTX 3080, was running a bit hotter than i liked, after your fan curve adjustments, running at 52c on cyberpunk, beautiful!
what settings do u take? casue i have the same!!!!!!! just to know
i came here so by the of the month wifey wont faint by our electric bill.....maybe i'll just blame that unplugged mini fridge we have on hallway upstairs lol
I don't get it. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or what but when I put my 3090 Ventus at ~875 mv at ~1900mhz, there is basically no change. Still running at 82 C and drawing ~340w
Or do I just have a really crap card?
EDIT: Basically doesn't matter what voltage I put my card at 1800-1900mhz, it always draws around 340w. Unless I drag the power limit slider down, only then does it start drawing less power but that also drastically reduces frequency.
Than you very much, I'm applying this technique to my Zotac 3060ti now.
Just one question.
How in the fox are people UV'ing their 3060ti below 0.9V while boosting to 1.9Ghz, some even above 2Ghz. That's 3080 numbers...
Did they win the chip lottery or what?
My card on stock, throttles all the way back down to the 1600mhz and even 1500s sometimes, it's ridiculous :(
Bought thermal compounds and even replaced the pads, no joy.
It's so demotivating.
An obvious question seems to be what about stability? I mean, after the tweak the GPU will be trying to hit the higher frequencies with less voltage than needed. Wouldn't that lead to crashes under load?
Not really obvious since almost everyone watching this assumes Keith did the due diligence and this uv/oc is stable. 3080 stock voltage is quite liberal and not needed for the vast majority of cards so a slight uv is pretty much guaranteed. With these cards, you can get
@@Disco_Potato exactly so many just come and copy w out testing for themselves. Just run some games n see if you get crashes or a benchmark like 3Dmark
1920Mhz on 832mW for me is stable on my rtx 3080 x trio
Do you need to start MSI at windows startup for this undervolt setting to kick in everytime?
Aorus Xtreme 825mv 1890mhz here, is it good ? 100% stable Furmark.
Nice. 881 mV @ 1995 Mhz Clock and 10401 Mhz Memory Clock. 10 degrees less temperature and about 60-70 less power draw (down from 360 watts). 1-2% more FPS.
Gigabyte Gaming OC.
Will definitely try this when my FTW 3080 gets here next week. Don’t need max FPS. Like others, I would rather drop my power draw for a few FPS
Does MSI Afterburning have to be running full time in order to force the video card to perform under custom parameters?
Yeah, AB needs to be kept running.
Thank you so much, my 3090 was power throttling and causesing fps to spike up and down. This video saved me from selling the 3090 and thinking it was a piece of junk. I would of never guessed that this video card did not need that much MV- voltage. Its crazy. I thought it needed more wattage.. That is completly inaccurate.
