I am using an EVGA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 ULTRA GAMING. I had begun changing settings in preparation to overclock. Wanted to use the VF Curve Tuner rather than doing it manually, as I am new at this - no idea what I am doing, etc.
 
Maxed out my Power Target and GPU Temp. Moved on the GPU settings. Ran the VF Curve tuner, selected Scan: I got a score of +116. Applied that to my core Clock. I did a Test and got another score: 90. What is that for? I did notice that when I ran my Test in VF Curve Tuner, that when it finished, I was not given a Pass or Fail result. Which was odd.
 
Was not sure what to do about my Voltage though. I need the most help, and am clueless, when it comes to the Voltage.
 
My Memory Clock is currently set to +675. I’ve run into issues with games crashing if I went any higher. Though that many be more related to another setting – like Voltage. I don’t know.
 
I’d like to try pushing the core Clock a bit more. As well as the other settings.
 
Settings are currently at:
Memory Clock: 675
GPU Clock: 116
Voltage: 0
Power Target: 124
Temp Target: 88

Run the Auto Scan - can take 20 min to complete
 
The Number generated after the Auto Scan is then Added to your GPU
 
Then you can - Slide your Temp & Power targets Full right & set your fans at 100% -- Run Auto Scan a second time
 
[You can attempt to run the First Auto Scan with these settings - though it may crash]
 
Auto Scan does Not OC the RAM, that is a manual process.  You'll need to run a benchmark software to load the Card - during testing
 
These cards will take OC of the RAM - start with +400 on RAM (After GPU OC is found) - if stable go +50 MHz until you find your cards max
 
May people (myself included) report +900 to +1000 on the RAM as stable ..... However testing in small steps is best
 
 
 
 
From the Scan test Value to see if more is possible & stable---> Small adjustment to your GPU MHz  - maybe 20 MHz at a time & test for stability

- run benchmark software to load the card to manually test for better GPU OC

Why 15* MHz -- that is 1 Step for the 20 series cards
 
From Max OC --> I reduce by 10% for best day to day stability
 
Stability from program to program Can Be Different:  whether Games or Benchmarks you can expect different Stable OC settings, especially if your at the edge of stability

-------------------------------------------------------------
 
You must Save to a Profile Number - click on any 0-9
 
Then Apply Button & then Save Button
 
for Auto load of Last Open Profile there are a couple of items to check mark to make it work - launch on Reboot & Load previously saved Profile#
 
You need to select - Both of these:
     1) "Start on with OS"
     2) "Apply previous settings on load"

 
WARNING:  when trying to Find your best OC, Do Not select the "apply previous settings on load" --> if its an unstable setting you do not want these to load and crash your Rig on restart ---- right
 
then click:  Apply & then Save 
 

 
 
Have Fun on your OC adventure .... Keeping your PC cool as possible will help those OC numbers ... turn the A/C to frosty & all case fans to 100%
 
edit: changed 20 to 15* = 1 step

Actually the 20 series cards adjust by 15 mhz on the core, so 1 step is 15 mhz.

Hi, is there any point in oc when the fps cap of the screen is 100fps with that card ? On game where I hit 70/80 fps what would be the gain ?

I always read that There is no point of going above refresh rate and when you have a gsync monitor it has to remains below it, is that wrong?

Sounds like it could just be a game engine bug. If you noticed artifacts in multiple games then you could blame the card. Does the artifacting occur with stock clocks on the gpu?

After another unrelated issue, I went back to my stock settings. They blacked out texture in the one game is still occurring. Very minor. Most likely just a 'game engine bug' as Sajin put it.

Yes, the artifacting occurs at stock settings. I am using the OC BIOS, however. Yet to see if flipping that switch might make it go away. Though it sounded like that just changes the default fan profile.

I can attest to the observation that certain game engines simply do not play well with overclocking or the 20xx series in general. I have an EVGA RTX 2070 FTW3 Ultra and whenever I play the game "The Talos Principle" and I am running an overclock setting on my card (any overclock setting at all), the game crashes.  The game uses Vulkan so it very well could be that Vulkan or perhaps the game's implementation of it simply does not like overclocking.  The OP's game may have a similar issue.  This is the only game I've played (out of many many games, both old and new) that seems to have an issue, which is a bit of a relief.

In my case, it was for the game, World of Warcraft. Mostly just seen it show up on the character selection screen - where one piece of armor(shoulder pads) and a background element - are either blacked out or flickering. I have seen it show up in game at least once. In-game, there was a fenced in area where I had trouble seeing the fence appearance properly. And was unable to locate a break in the fence until I circled it a few times.

The just released GeForce Game Ready Driver, version 436.30, fixed the flickering issue I was seeing on the character selection screen in World of Warcraft

Cool GTX

What about the VOLTAGE Slider?  Default, it is set to 0.  Should I leave that 0 or modify it?  If I modify, when do I do so?
 
Thank you for the detailed information and steps.  It's so helpful!

How does this look to you?

I have the same card. why does Precision x1 show three fans on your screen? 

Because their GPU is a FTW3 which has 3 fans on it.

That’ll crash

I’ve the same card on ryzen 3950x and 3800/16 ram

I set the memory to “7650”(+600) more would cause problems in some games and even benchmarks like flickering. Gpu clocked by “115”more would cause problems too. Voltage set to “60” for stability and power “124” temp “88”(maxed).

Tried benchmarking with my case side panel off with a mobile AC directly blowing cold air into it because the room is like 23/24 degrees.

When I set everything to default and target maxed the scan would give me the score for scan “79” used to be 90+ but yeah the vr curve tuner aint that good anyway.

Btw score used to be 114 when I first built the pc with this gpu. It changes everytime

It's silicon lottery
What won't work for may work for someone else .
Just because you had a bad card , doesn't mean he might have a winning ticket.

Yeah I heard about that but it’s not like you will get a huge difference on the same card with a silicon lottery. Like most of these ftw3 ultra cards go around 100-120 boost speed with out issues in game and memory around 1000+ causes problems sometimes on most cards but 1000 should be good with a winning ticket but 140 boost nah too much for this card
