Currently I have my core clock at +350 and memory at +1500. My card is the MSI Ventus OC 3X.

What card do you have and what clocks are you getting? I am using the latest beta of msi afterburner.

No one on here is overclocking their 5070ti?

...dang, I guess not. I'll cry now. Sniff Sniff....can someone give me a tissue?

Well.I wonder your card already overlock when you buy it , how much improvement can it be? anyway ,maybe it‘s more efffective for NO OC edition.
 
5070Ti overclocks well. My Ventus3X is completely locked down in terms of both power limit and memory overclock.

I'd be salty that it's such a restricted card when the silicon is clearly capable of much more, but I bought it on launch day for MSRP so any kind of complaint when I was one of the lucky few seems misplaced.
 
You should be able to get an easy 10% above stock, presuming it's a non oc model, somewhere in the realm of 3050-3200mhz during heavy 3d load.

is it possible to flash bios and unlock its oc abilities? i personally wouldn't bother, i just am curious if it is possible is all
 
the 5070Ti's OC pretty well, still remember not being able to boost my memory clock super high (I think I hit the +625 range with my 2080S before it became unstable), and could only boost core clock by like +125. Seeing these new cards OC so well has got me jealous lol.

I don't think so, the only way to increase power limits that I'm aware of is to do a shunt mod on the power delivery which requires soldering skills, a high level of electronics understanding and obviously voids your warranty.
 
Any of you using the MSI Afterburner data file to overclock the memory higher?

So your core is over 3000 and it's stable?
 
I got the MSI RTX 5070 Ti Ventus 3X for my little brother.

We are running stock clocks for now {Core:28xx Mem:14001}, but after what a user on here has mentioned, not sure how much higher anything will go at this point.

If you're referring to me, the issue with overclocking the 5070Ti is the hard-locked power limit, especially on the Ventus base model.

It'll clock higher but you need to undervolt it because otherwise you'll be limited by either voltage regulation or power limit. Nvidia's conservative limits will hinder your attempts, but they can't lock it down entirely so there's still some wiggle room to get performance improvements.

Find a workload that reliably generates the highest sustained clocks, even if it's just standing still and looking in a particular direction in-game, and then while it's running at those high clocks, tab out to Afterburner and drop the core voltage by 20mv at a time until it crashes.

There's no point trying to find the limit of stability if you're not able to find a workload that sits at max boost clock, because an undervolt is only likely to cause problems at the clock limits of your particular silicon.
 
I have no undervolt on my msi ventus 3x oc. I just put the core to 350 and the memory to 1575. Runs everything fine. I am # 3 and # 4 on 3dmark for steel nomad with a 285k and a 5070ti. Easy peasy.

I can hit about 3250Mhz on my Gaming Trio and then get power limited with a vanguard bios flashed.(Vanguard and Gaming Trio have very similar boards) With the 400W bios I can get about 3310Mhz but for mine it needs more voltage than anything.

The 300W power limit on that card is ridiculous since that card also shares the same board as the 5080 Ventus and Shadow which have a 360W power limit. I don't know why MSI didn't at least do 320, even 310W maybe. I haven't had any problem flashing even other vendor bios's on the Trio though, are you sure its not possible.

Yeah it should be, it's what I did with my 5080, it runs a good 3-5% faster than stock and unlocks the max TDP which wasn't available with the stock/non-oc BIOS.

the good thing about these cards too is dual BIOS, so you can flash with a margin for safety, and even just flash one of two. I did that so I have the Performance BIOS is OC mode, and the quiet BIOS is stock.
 
ASUS Prime non OC 5070 Ti
+530 core, +2000 memory, PL 116% on Steel nomad. Not stable anywhere else.
Easy to set a curve on the 4070. Difficult on the 5070 Ti with newest afterburner beta.

I have a Palit 5070Ti GamingPro V1. Chip is very good at undervolt but with the Bios hard set powerlimit at 100% it is not that good for high score benchmarks. Highest Steel Nomad score at 990mV, +1200Mem and 3120Mhz core is 7325 points and then it gets just powerlimited. I would need to go higher with the voltage to increase the clock but then it would get powerlimited and if I go higher with the clock at that low voltage it crashes. But I can run this Gpu at 3020Mhz at a mere 935mV, which still gives me 7200 points in Steel Nomad but draws a maximum of 260W during the benchmark and 200-230W during gaming. And since I`m someone who does want a good efficiency/performance package I`m absolutely happy with it.

Both settings the 3120Mhz at 990mV and 3020Mhz at 935mV are absolutely stable, did multiple different benchmarks and games with it.

Palit Gamerock, that I now realise I need to tweak more =)

83% power envelop, standard MSI afterburner curve with the higher part of the curved raised to about +300MHz. Downtuned fans
Stable consistent game clocks (for hours) at 3050MHz and around 1030mv, at 65ish degrees, with more power and more volts and it appears to peak out at around 3200.

Edit: 3000 at 83% power seems to work nicely.
Edit 2: 975mv and 83% tdp and it hovers at 3000mhz and 200-220w.

Hello mate, I just saw your post. I have an RTX 5070 Ti Aorus Master, and if you'd like, I can share some of my 3DMark results with you.

I see you posted your Time Spy score in your first post. I'll share mine too, and instead of uploading 14 more screenshots, I'll share a video where I showcase my 14 world #1 rankings on air with the 5070 Ti.

Update about DDR4 Is NOT Dead! Now 14 World Records in 3DMark with 5070Ti on Air & PCIe 4.0​


Update 2: Now holding all 15 global #1s across the top 3DMark synthetic benchmarks with the 5070Ti

For some reason, this generation everyone is getting hung up on discussing overclocks in terms of +300, or +400 etc, rarely clarifying what actual speeds are being achieved.

+100 on one card, is not at all the same as +100 on a different card.

Different models have different stock speeds, and the temperature of the core also changes how high the clock speed will boost.

Feels more like the (genitalia)measuring contest in middle school

Right? Telling someone what they typed in on the Msi clock slider means absolutely nothing. I too read that nowadays everywhere and find it quite annoying, couple years ago people actually wrote the real clock they get during benchmarks. Plus 300 or 400 could be 2900, 3000 or 3100Mhz during actual load, no one knows. I only overclock and undervolt using the curve editor since that is simply the best way to set each wanted clock to each voltage point and even there MSI is not going to use exactly what you type in. I for examply have to set the curve to 3200Mhz at 990mV to get 3120Mhz or 3080Mhz at 935mV to then get 3020Mhz during benchmarks. Nvidia gpus clock dynamically, even the current gpu temperature can lower or raise the clock. It doesn`t just say "Oh yes I will take the number you put in and follow it exactly to the Mhz. And even then you would need to know what the base clock is which the 300 gets added to. Right now its: unknown clock+300Mhz=result

My RTX 5070Ti Aorus Master, has pretty decent silicon, it reaches 3012MHz out of the box without touching anything. Just by applying +300 on the core, it goes over 3300MHz rock solid, with good temperatures and low noise levels. It remains stable even hitting 3400MHz with the 400W BIOS, and that’s on air. On water, it would surely reach 3500MHz without any issue. In fact, in some top 1 scores on 3DMark, I’ve hit over 3400MHz, although the average then drops a bit due to power limit constraint.

Quick example of how solid it is while gaming:


I have a Palit 5070Ti GamingPro V1. Chip is very good at undervolt but with the Bios hard set powerlimit at 100% it is not that good for high score benchmarks.

Not a bad undervolt, mine behaves even crazier. It goes over 3200MHz at just 990mV, and hits 3000MHz with only 845mV. I also have a super-efficient profile running at 800mV with a 2750MHz core and 2125MHz memory, which typically draws less than 180W while gaming in 4K

Congrats, you won the silicon lottery with that. That is an insane golden chip you got there. Why not run 3dmark benchmark? If optimized your card could easily get in the top 50 if not top 10 ranking. I tinkered a little more and my Msi profile settings are now

1: 845mV with 2730Mhz stable bench clock
2: 870mV with 2850Mhz stable bench clock
3: 935mV with 3030Mhz stable bench clock
4: 990mV with 3150Mhz stable bench clock

When it comes to memory OC, since I saw that the 5070Ti in general barely gains anything above +1200 on mem since the card already has a very good bandwith, I left it there. +1700 was the highest I tried and ran without problems (Which already gives it 4090 bandwith performance at >1TB/s), probably does +2000 as well but if it doesn`t give me more fps, why stress the memory? I would also not recommend you to have it run over 2000 because even if it doesn`t crash, it is possible that above 2000 you run into ecc errors with your memory which can actually decrease your memory performance.
New Steel nomad 3dmark Score 7352. Considering that you always have a chance to get either a turd, an average card or a golden chip, I`m always happy as long as it is not a turd. Considering I`m in the top 5% in 3dmark Benchmarks sipping only 285W while many top scorers probably run it with unlocked powerlimit at 340-350W I would say my chip is at least average.

PS: Forget what I said, you already did 3dmark benchmark and are ranked number 1 :laugh:

Thanks for the detailed breakdown.

You're absolutely right about the 5070 Ti's memory bandwidth, it's already quite efficient out of the box. Pushing memory beyond +1200 generally shows diminishing returns, especially since the card approaches or exceeds 1 TB/s effective bandwidth at those levels. At that point, any gains tend to be synthetic rather than translating into meaningful real-world performance. Your point about potential ECC errors above +2000 is also spot on, silent memory errors can reduce effective performance or introduce instability, even if the system doesn't outright crash.

A Steel Nomad score of 7352 at just 285W is very respectable. Considering many top results are running the card with the power limit maxed out at 350–400W, it sounds like you’ve got a well-binned chip, not necessarily golden, but certainly above average.

PS:I did, Got 18 tops 1 so far. :)
