#1 Overclocking a GTX 1080
Posted: Sat Aug 05, 2017 2:30 pm
This may already be common knowledge but I just realized using the version 376.33 driver limited my EVGA Founders Edition GTX 1080 to running at a modest 1600 Mhz. It would not respond to overclock settings using MSI Afterburner. After I installed the version 384.94 driver, the default clock speed jumped to 1800 Mhz and I'm able to over clock it up to 2000 Mhz. I would only do this if you can keep it running cool enough. With the hybrid cooler temps still stay below 50C.
EDIT: It's odd though. If restart the Boinc Client, the clock rate drops back down to 1600 Mhz. But if I reboot the system it starts running at the over clock speed again.
