Is it possible to set minimum voltage in nvidia-smi? I'm currently using nvidia-smi.exe -lgc 210,2100 +150 in MSI Afterburner which drop voltage to 1.006v. Next step +165 isn't stable because it drops voltage to 0.987v. How I can get it to 1.000v as minimum?

It drops to 0,987V because of power limit ?
Did you try to undervolt ?

+150 it stays 1.006v and +165 should be 0.993v-1.000v. It crashes at +165 because it drops voltage to 0.987v while still holding 2100MHz. nvidia-smi method is very good because it keeps internal clocks very close to requested clocks. Undervolting with v/f curve drops internal clocks and perf is worse.

What an utter joke it is for every card drop. Hour before the drop and the EVGA site is so bogged down you can't even log in. Just an ****show all around for everything now

Yea I played that game for the 3080ti. Finally won the F5 battle for a 2nd time (counting my Zotac 3090 from last November). I spent about 90 minutes of retrying to get it. Really wanted the 3090 FTW3 HC, but they've never dropped a single card again since the queue reopened. Still 18 sec away...

Good enough though. I really just wanted a card for a second machine and a backup in case I blow up my Zotac 3090. Lol

...I also needed a 2nd card for another application, but I 'crossed the street' and got a 3x8 pin 6900XT...found both at the same place (4 month apart) at or below MSRP...Both the 3090 Strix and the 6900 XT will be neighbors in a dual mobo, single case build if all goes well - hopefully they won't start a brawl in the middle of the night :eek:

Where do you live ?
In a GPU stock ? 😂

Was just pointing out what the average oc+undervolt looks like.

All depends how lucky you are with the silicon + how cool you can keep your card.

On my zotac, I can do alot better than this video but again It's not worth much for me since I push it past that on water cooling.

Okay, I kinda feel that this result is below average TBH but its all about silicon lottery, Id make a guess that even 1850 vs 2100 on the core would result in less than 5fps of a difference

Hey folks,

I've got my ROG Strix 3090 in an EK water block and have flashed the BIOS, trying a few different EVGA ones, such as the one quoted for KINGPIN.

However none of the BIOSs seem to pay attention to the power limit, the wattage sits around 330(!), instead of 480, and looking in GPU-Z it seems my 8-Pin Power #3 is never used.

Any ideas? Running on the Strix BIOS it hits the 480W fine.

edit: Pic of GPU-Z whilst running Unigine benchmark.

Power readings are messed with EVGA bios on strix (and others).
Don’t rely to the values you read currently with softwares as GPUz or others.
