So, I'm crashing in FireStrike Ultra and FO4 when I push my EVGA 1080 FTW above 2050 mhz... is this an average/decent overclock or am I doing something wrong?
Don't get me wrong, the card is whisper quiet at that speed, but I guess I expected a bit more (north of 2100 mhz) from a custom PCB 1080 with two 8 pins. Should I try increasing voltage as much as I can?
I've messed with overclocking two different 1080s and one 1070. It seems to me the cores all max out just south of of 2100 mhz for 24/7 stability. My eVGA 1080 FTW maxes out around 2088 mhz. I think the extra VRMs and power plugs on the aftermarket cards are a waste of space and electricity. The core will run out of headroom LONG before the ability of the VRMs to supply stable current do.
