I don't know much about this. Thanks for sharing!!

I went and revisited this with afterburner after I found some skins for afterburner that didn't look like they were made 20 years ago. I can get the card stable and clocks will fluctuate between 2200-2190 by locking it at 1.093v. The problem is performance doesn't scale with the faster clock. When testing it with a benchmark, I don't find the performance is better than just running my normal gaming clock of 2130.
 
I would caution anyone doing this to verify that their performance is scaling with increasing clock speeds. Otherwise you're pumping more voltage through your chip for no reason at all other than an ego boosting clock speed. 
 
To me, the only thing AB has going for it is the OSD just flat out works. I wish X1 used Rivatuner Statistics Server. I can get the OSD in X1 to work, but its flaky at best and will often crash a game if I try to minimize or expand the window my game is running in.

Whats the difference between trying this and just raising the voltage slider and trying manually to find the highest clock for the highest voltage point?If you lock the curve will my clocks stay higher?

Im using a manual afterburner curve and the highest i can get with my ftw3 ultra 2080 ti is +130 at 1.68.Trying to go higher at 1.93 doesnt help me.Average gaming clocks are 2040-2055 at 63 degrees with default fan speed.

This method allows you to force the highest possible voltage 24/7. Yes, if your temps are low enough and you aren't hitting the power limit.

Hello Sajin. After following your guide I was able to get my card at 2.1ghz at 1.093v. I believe I did everything correctly. However, after I launch a game my voltage and frequency both start to go down. After looking at some other members' results on this forum, I don't think this is supposed to be happening. Am I missing something or doing something wrong here? 
 
Thanks in advance.

Your temps are most likely too high.

Really? My fans are at 100% and I max out at around 63C

Yep.

So other than going water cooled, there's no way to keep it at a constant 2.1ghz?
