What is limited by voltage means? Can elaborate?

Now why it is stopped boosting at say 1.02v and give us VRel and seconds later it boost to 1.03v? If it is simply limited by voltage then surely it can’t go more than 1.02v like ever?
If that's what you are seeing then possibly the voltage limit on these cards changes depending on load or something along those lines (could be temp too, I don't have a 50 series card to test).

On previous gens it was a fixed value. 3090/4090 was 1.1v with the exception of the later 4090s which were 1.07v.

Nevertheless, VRel implies that card has hit whatever voltage limit that is currently set.

Well yes people want to know what it is and why. So now I found out that it is temp related. It is why the name is Voltage Reliability. Not voltage limit or something.
 
If some aplication extends the memory headroom for overclock memory even more we can see the 5080 catching the 4090 or even surpassing in games. Now for the majority of games the 4090 still gives a higher FPS. Is there no way for edit the aplications limits today? My 5080 runs 18000mhz very easy and i belive it can run even higher, maybe even close to 19 or 20 GHz.

But it's always had that name and in the past it was just a hard limit set by the bios as I said before. Nvidia appears to have simply changed that behavior and made it variable depending on conditions. But also it seems to vary from card to card, even the same SKU with the same bios according to a report I just saw in the 5090 thread.
 
+450 on top of 2805? That is crazy man. My Astral started from 2760 and it can only take +367 after extensive stress test.
It's not that crazy for GB203

Mine boost at default at 2710 and with +540 I get the core around 3250 with 0,98V (not 5080, 5070 ti tho, the chip is the same, but cut)

With the right voltage around 1,1V if it wasn't bugged you could easily get 3400/3300mhz with a good bin

I’m not sure what you mean by voltage hard limit. Because when I blow air conditioner directly into my card the voltage started to go up more and boosting more than usual too. So what limit again? How do you know that it is hard limit? Probably with 4090 (I don’t have it), but with 5000 series I could have sworn it is not hard limit. Even if there is hard limit it is not reached yet at least on my card.

I said in the past, for example 3090 or 4090. Those cards do not change the voltage limit based on temp or anything else. The max voltage is only set by the bios and the Afterburner voltage slider.

We we have different ways to compare.

yours is Zotac 5070 Ti OC? If so it is by default clocked at 2,482 according to tech power up. +540 it is like 3,022.

His card is 2805 + 450 =3,255!
And my card is 2760 + 367 =3,127 only.

Comparing real boost a bit difficult because it is affected by the ambient temp.

Even if 5000 series still have hard limit (I believe so), it is so much higher than 4090 and not really limitation as far as I know. I just read somebody with 1.115v which means it is goes over your 4090 hard limit.

Oh and by the way I checked to my brother who owns 4070 Ti Super and the PerfCap VRel appears on his 4070 Ti Super even before it hits the hard limit (he runs at stock). So it is definitely not hard limit like what you said. You have 4090 and can easily check?

They all have a limit, it just varies for 50 series apparently.
 
You have 4090 right? Then can check if PerfCap VRel appears before the hard limit. I checked to my Bro and his 4070 Ti Super appear VRel even if he is way below whatever hard limit on his card is.
My 4090 will sit at 1.1v 100% of the time no matter what I run. I haven't checked to see if it shows VRel all the time or not as I never bother to look at it.
 
Well then I’m not sure what can be achieved with this conversation. I’ll post this on 5090 club and see if anyone chime in on what they think.
Voltage is bugged on 5000, there's no reason to consider/compare it right now. It works well in the 4000 serie where you can play with any value and it will be reflected correctly
 
Does anyone have the Gigabyte Waterforce model bios performance mode? I wanna try the 450w power limit. Till now my card overclocked pretty well, it is a Zotac Solid OC and only the waterforce model bios worked with the 450w limit.

Here are some benchmarks that i had run with the AMP infinity bios.

Its available on Techpowerup vbios section
 
I would like to share some progress I've been making on my MSI Gaming Trio OC. I've been running the Gigabyte AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 MASTER bios.

I scored 9 265 in Steel Nomad - MAX OC Master BIOS +7% increase

I scored 8 627 in Steel Nomad - Max OC Stock BIOS

3.165ghz stable with +2000 on the memory stable and an average temp of 62C

This is the best Steel Nomad Score I ever got and I've been able to repeat it multiple times without any crashing.

Thats a very good score. I got 9266 with loading my "OC settings" in GPU tweak. I messed around a little bit and got my score up a little.
I scored 9 446 in Steel Nomad - 9446 Max OC. (I'm not sure if I can get more out of the GPU, I know it can't do too much core Mhz.) Mem slider I just moved to the max. Core +382.

I've been mostly benching SpeedWay I scored 10 254 in Speed Way Got a best of 10,254.

Running an ASUS Astral 5080. 9800x3d. I'm wondering if I OC my ram if I can get some more out of it.
