GPU Clock decreases as temperature goes up

Knowing all these card makers, they won't release a gpu bios update unless if there is something majorly wrong with the cards.

So don't even think about doing it.

You can modify your own bios but I would suggest using software adjustments as those are the easiest

Yep, all things considered, if you are not prepared to go all the way (hard mods + custom water etc.) with this card, DO NOT - and I stress again - DO NOT screw with the card BIOS or even overreact to clock speed variances. Just let it do its thing. Pascal is like Windows 10 now, you can screw up alot and usually a reboot fixes everything, but there is no longer any form of absolute control over its performance. It'll just do its magic. Screw with that, and it'll bite you in the behind ^^

Of particular note with regards to clocks, and especially memory OC's - there is a hard falloff in real life performance at some point, where clocking higher actually reduces performance. This also happens when you push a core clock that is unsustainable, or when you push lots of extra volts that cooling can't handle - if you exceed the ideal temp/clock targets, you'll mostly toss out power efficiency (which in turn translates into lower performance because higher temps) and all you get in return is a funny looking clockspeed number.

Overclocking has been commercialized, deal with it ^^

On afterburner, you can press Control and F to show the voltage control. You can undervolt the graphics to get lower temperatures.

I don't think Pascal BIOS' can be modified...

Well I should've mentioned that this problem only occurs in Furmark stress test (Firestrike Ultra) and not in games.

Then it's not a problem. Edit: meaning Furmark.

Confused... he said furmark, but then says firestrike....soooo he means FUTUREMARK im assuming and ran Fire Strike Ultra???? Or does he actually mean Furmark???


Make sense OP!!!!!

Actually Gigabyte already have released a bios update since the launch of Aorus GTX 1080ti Xtreme which changed bios version to nVidia's 86.02.39.00.9E. But I think yeah... Future updates are unlikely to happen, at least not anytime soon.

Exactly. I learned this in a hard way with lots of testings and benchmarkings...sometimes adding to GPU clock offset had a reverse result on the final score since it can heat up the GPU. So as you said, I just have to leave it the way it already is and let it do it's work. I'm already getting enough FPS in games and this level of sensitivity to GPU Clock or in-game FPS for only 1 to 2 percent difference for everyday use is kinda pointless I think.

I'm sorry...I'm sorry. God
I meant both FurMark and Futuremark stress tests. what I meant was GPU temperature always goes beynond 71c degress and even more in both FurMark and Futuremark stress test while fans spinng at %100 speed but not in normal gaming.
Sorry again.

Cross verify with gigabyte to make absolutely sure that bios is for your specific card, and I mean by the stock keeping unit number of the card and even model number which are found via the stickers, not all cards in a line are the same anymore.

That BIOS update was likely meant to fix issues with the VRAM. All Nvidia cards had this update.

Another Problem...Sorry if it's not related to the thread's title. I just didn't want to make a new thread for a small problem (if it is a problem!)
I was playing Dishonored 2 Death of the Outsider the other night. GPU usage was ~35 percent with V-Sync on. So everything normal so far. Then I did Alt+Tab to desktop and suddenly GPU usage increased to %99 which made GPU very hot after a while. So fans got more active and noise level increased drastically too and so on.
I was thinking that this might be an optimization issue from GPU Bios or something but I found out that this won't happen in all games. For example this won't happen in Agents of Mayhem. Actually in Agents of Mayhem, GPU Clock decreases to base clock (1607Mhz) and GPU Usage to 2-3 percent when I Alt+Tab to desktop which makes it ideal for leaving the PC for short periods of time when you haven't reached a checkpoint and don't want to lose progression. So GPU can cools down for a bit and etc.
So why Alt+Tab to desktop in some games makes the card to go crazy? Is this a common issue with other cards from other brands as well? Is it card's problem or game's problem?
