Just curious, since on AMD's side they've been undervolting their cards for a long time with great success.
 
The main purpose of undervolting is to reduce power consumption, which directly results in lesser heat being produced by the GPU, thereby leading to lower temperatures. Very handy for people who have sub-optimal case airflows or live in hot environments.
 
But, I'd like to know, are there any dangers to undervolting using the voltage curve in MSI Afterburner? Has anyone here done it? Is it safe?
 
Thanks!
 

Undervolting may result in an unstable system and lock ups, but all you would need to do is put the curve back up to correct it. It shouldn't hurt the card.

Like I said above, if it results in an unstable system, just bump it back up.

All I did was increase the offset by 38 MHz.

Now, if you look at that graph of mine, 2012 MHz corresponds to 1000mV. Question is, how can I make the rest of the voltage settings flat? I don't want a voltage above 1000mV used. I want 2012/1000 to be the max, but below it to be variable as per normal. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

As far as I know, there is no way to set a voltage cap without modifying the BIOS. The best you can do is come up with a combination of settings that will typically keep your voltage under 1v. Probably decreasing the power target will accomplish this for the most part.

It's safe but I don't think you will have a lot of luck (not sure it even works) see here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/msi-afterburner-undervolt-radeon-r9-fury,4425.html
 
>If you're aggravated and want to see the same gains from Nvidia's GPU, get ready for disappointment. Lowering the GPU's voltage just isn't in the cards because it's achieved by decreasing the internal power target. Since GPU Boost is a very fragile system, every little drop has a negative impact on clock rate. In turn, this results in a massive performance hit. It's not something to complain about, per se. Nvidia simply has its mechanism optimally balanced, so there's practically no room for improvement. Consequently, MSI Afterburner doesn't even offer the option to lower the voltage. It can only be increased.

I have my 1080ti undervolted. It is actually very beneficial for Pascal cards. Yes, you can get unstable if you go too low, just like when you go too high when overclocking. 
Pascal has a hard voltage ceiling because of GPU boost 3.0. Hitting that voltage ceiling even without hitting power or thermal limits will make the card throttle down a little. You end up bouncing up and down the limiter and getting in consistent clockspeeds. 

I have mine at 2050mhz at 1025mv-1050mv, not home to check. It gets me a steady 2060 during benchmarks, and actually gave me a higher score than doing just standard overclock and putting power target to max.

To get a flat voltage, you will just have your curve flat like you have it. It will use the lowest voltage for that clockspeed. Afterburner might adjust your curve after you save it, so you just have to go back and readjust it again.
