I like to have mine below 75° while having fans at 60%, but that is totally a personal preference for heat and noise. So it's up to you to decide what temperatures you want the GPU to work on. So raising the voltage a bit will give you higher clocks and better performance, but a bit more heat as well. You can raise it a bit more, because even though you will have a power limitation, it won't be much. That way I could squeeze a bit more performance out of my GPU, while still keeping temps below stock.Īfter you found that sweet spot, the tweaking starts. To check that, just add the power limit flag to MSI/RTSS, so while gaming you will see at which clock the power limit starts. So what I did was try to find the sweet spot, the highest frequency and voltage I could get before power limit throttling started kicking in. It will help me and others here to understand what the issue might be.Ĭlick to expand.You could start by the max boost clock specified by your GPU, but I found that to lose a lot of performance, even though the drops in temperature for the GPU were huge, always below 68° in my case, no matter what I throw at it. Regarding your thermals, do you mind posting which laptop do you have? Full specs, if possible. Overvolt, on the other side, can cause damage and will probably void your warranty, so avoid doing that (I don't think you need it on a 2080 ) if you run it cooler, you're very likely prolonging its lifetime. PS: That won't void your warranty, as it doesn't damage your GPU. I have a few different profiles that I use with different levels of undervolt, depending on how demanding the game is. To achieve this, I am indeed using MSI afterburner to undervolt the GPU. I personally prefer losing around 10-15 fps to not have power limit throttling, as in my opinion is the best way to efficiently use the GPU: lower power, lower temperature and a bit lower performance, but still good enough to play my games at ultra settings with 80+ fps and keep the fans quieter. I would recommend you also add the GPU power usage on the RTSS overlay, so you can have an idea about that while gaming. Keep in mind that power limit is totally normal in laptops at stock, so if you're not getting those, it's either because your game is not demanding and is not using your GPU fully or because there is another type of limit (in your case thermal) that is limiting the GPU.
