So just had a question for you wonderful peeps here about raising the core voltage on the 3070ti. Currently I have the voltage set in Afterburner at 50% with +135 core, +500 memory, at 2115Mhz stable as stable can be..Last night I pushed the clock to +150 and got it up to 2150mhz but I was just benchmarking so I dialed it back as I don't see the reason for me to push the gpu that hard and normally don't like to. I just always want to get some extra performance out of her and EVGA never disappoints Holy smokes!! I would venture to say this is the best out of the box gpu I have ever owned, even over my Rog Strix 3070.. You can undervolt and get the same performance with less power draw or push it to the limit with plenty of headroom that's insane..Not to mention my Temps with my current overclock go no higher then 71c under 100% load..So back to my question since went on a ramble here!!lol. How high would you raise the core voltage and is it OK leave it at 50 like I have it? Also would you recommend leaving the GDDR6X memory at stock or is it ok to go +500 on air? Thank you

What does the GPU core clock throttle to under constant stress load (5 minutes into Firestrike Extreme stress, as an example)?
 
What do you mean when you say "Currently I have the voltage set in Afterburner at 50%"?  Power slider, is that what you mean?
 
I agree that these Ampere cards are ridiculously fun to overclock with undervolting.  For some reason the out-of-the-box default always results in lots of heat and power draw, for little to no gain over undervolted OC settings.  It makes sense to cover all variations of silicon, but these curves seem to be very conservative.  I have yet to test a card that couldn't be dropped at least 20W and hit stock perf.  The range for me seems to be 20-80W depending upon chip and board.
