00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,879
oh overclocking the common excuse for so many Tech enthusiasts to spend just a

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:12,559
lot more on their rig this time however I'll be talking about overclocking

3
00:00:09,559 --> 00:00:16,000
something specific a GTX 1080 spoiler

4
00:00:12,559 --> 00:00:18,119
alot alute spoiler alert it overclocks

5
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:23,530
quite well but there's a wild card here NVIDIA introduced GPU boost 3.0 and it's

6
00:00:21,279 --> 00:00:32,000
a whole new Beast

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:38,920
cooler Master's master case maker 5 features the free form modular system

8
00:00:36,239 --> 00:00:43,360
for nearly unlimited customization learn more in the link in the video

9
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:47,399
description to explain GPU boost 3 we need to give some information about GPU

10
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:52,520
boost 2 your graphics card would dynamically change its frequency across

11
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:56,280
a linear frequency offset curve this is the curve that you would increase across

12
00:00:54,359 --> 00:01:01,519
the board due to it being linear whenever you applied an overclock of say

13
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:03,559
50 or 100 or ever it was on that little

14
00:01:01,519 --> 00:01:07,080
slider that you had before and then based on the load that's on your card

15
00:01:04,960 --> 00:01:11,640
your frequency would fluctuate along that curve this is generally quite a

16
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:16,479
good system but it sometimes falls short because it doesn't crank your clock

17
00:01:13,479 --> 00:01:19,360
speeds up to its potential maximum for

18
00:01:16,479 --> 00:01:23,240
every single possible voltage level and these voltage levels will dynamically

19
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:28,479
change based on things like temperature power and a whole bunch of other stuff

20
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:31,520
so odds are you're losing performance

21
00:01:28,479 --> 00:01:33,399
somewhere so G GPU boost 3 alongside

22
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,479
other more General improvements over GPU boost 2 allows us to either overclock

23
00:01:35,799 --> 00:01:44,920
the old way with linear offset curves or break away from that linear offset curve

24
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:46,719
and tune things per voltage Point what

25
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:50,119
okay so that's kind of rather confusing sorry about that let's actually do some

26
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:54,439
stuff and hopefully it will make more sense the feature that helps you do

27
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:58,960
these things is called OC Scanner within the EVGA Precision app which is the only

28
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:02,880
one that supports it so far although I'm sure it will become ubiquitous soon

29
00:02:01,399 --> 00:02:08,560
within the scanner there are three different modes basic mode applies a set

30
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:13,160
frequency offset to all voltage points linear mode allows users to linearly

31
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:17,640
increase the clock offset after choosing a start and end point and then it gets

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:21,920
interesting with manual mode which first off it's fairly self-explanatory you

33
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:26,400
manually input values for frequency at each voltage step but it also enables

34
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:30,440
the Run button which is where the fun begins this will run an automatic test

35
00:02:28,640 --> 00:02:35,080
that will determine and apply what it thinks is an optimal overclock but

36
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:39,599
before clicking run click the little Cog wheel down below which is enabled in the

37
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,440
OC Scanner mode and play with the settings a bit they start a little too

38
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:47,720
high in my opinion although this may change by the time people get their

39
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:55,440
hands on it I set my test period to 5 Seconds my starting KZ offset to 200,000

40
00:02:51,159 --> 00:02:56,920
my end to 250,000 and my step to 10,000

41
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,440
then I went back to the main screen and increased my power Target and

42
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:04,319
temperature Target to 100 12% and 92°

43
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:08,599
then it's time to click run what happens now is a firmar window will open and a

44
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:13,280
fuzzy EVGA logo will show up resulting in what Colton called Ms paint with

45
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:17,640
radar what a noob anyways this will stress out the graphics card and check

46
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:22,200
at a specific amount of voltage how much frequency the card can pump out by

47
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:26,959
increasing said frequency over the start amount by the step count that we set

48
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:31,120
earlier in that Cog wheel and retesting over and over and over again hopefully

49
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:35,000
recovering from crashes is mostly on its own now there are more features coming

50
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:39,799
like aggression percentage and stuff like that so you can have more

51
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:41,640
conservative but stable overclocks but

52
00:03:39,799 --> 00:03:45,280
the performance increase over non overclocked is already pretty good

53
00:03:43,319 --> 00:03:49,920
considering this was an entirely automated process after that I set

54
00:03:47,959 --> 00:03:55,480
everything back to default and applied a manual overclock of my own increasing

55
00:03:52,560 --> 00:04:01,000
the core clock by 200 MHz and the memory clock by 500 MHz this isn't the most

56
00:03:58,959 --> 00:04:05,239
aggressive over I could have done but it was pretty Rock Solid and I'm

57
00:04:02,799 --> 00:04:09,959
comfortable running both my 1080s at this speed so if you do it on your own

58
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:14,519
should probably be fine now my overclock beat the new OC Scanner automated

59
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,280
overclock but as automation isn't really the point I went back to the OC Scanner

60
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:23,560
found the result that it gave me and played around a bit by increasing a few

61
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:28,440
of the different frequency steps along the way mainly the ones near the top end

62
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:33,960
this actually helped me defeat my manual overclock albeit by a fairly minor

63
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,320
amount quickly and very easily now that

64
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:40,479
was actually pretty cool but at the same time the limit that the OC Scanner kept

65
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:46,039
on hitting so that it would stop was usually a power limit so while I'm happy

66
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:50,280
with the result we got now I'm even more excited for the results that we may get

67
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,680
from future cards like aftermarket Solutions with more power availability

68
00:04:53,600 --> 00:05:00,080
I'm shooting this video before I leave for computex and I'm pretty sure it's

69
00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:05,759
coming out after I come back so by the time you see this you will actually be

70
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,960
more informed than I currently am about

71
00:05:05,759 --> 00:05:13,800
what cards will be available with potentially Higher Power Solutions so

72
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,800
here's hoping that that actually does happen does it give you the creeps when

73
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,319
your internet provider tracks your web browsing today's lack of online privacy

00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:43,199
like kind of the reference card and how it performs when it's not overclocked
