I've never undervolted a card before and I was really worried about messing something up or worse my GPU but your video made this process SUPER easy. Thank you so much for the info man!
@@ImWateringPSUs I just followed method 1 for my Asus TUF 4090 and hasn't gone over 60C degrees even while playing The First Descendant on 4k Ultrawide lol.
Dude, you're amazing! Your power-save profile seems stable for my card and completely removed the frame-time spikes that I got when I just power-limited the card to 60%. And all this while using even less power! Thank you so much! Keep up this great work, I specifically appreciated the explanations at the end so that I now have a better grasp of why this is the best method. This video alone made me a subscriber, I'm so happy right now 🙂
Thank you brother. I've applied your values and now I have stable frametime as a result. My card is pulling less power and it is still delivering the same performance as before. Great video! Liked & subbed!
Very helpful I have always used your videos to undervolted all of my gpus in the past I now have upgraded to 4090 founders edition and used this method to undervolt my gpu has dropped to 32-45 celsius playing call of duty in a cold room that sits at about 68 degrees thank you !
This is it... you nailed it mate, big thanks to you! By this simple tweak my coil whine is reduced by almost 90%. My build is pure silence now with almost no loss in performance! God bless!
Excellent tutorial. I used method 1 and it has reduced the power consumption and lowered the temperature of my GPU without reducing any FPS. Keep up the good work. PS liked and subscribed.
This is a great guide. I think you can take your undervolt videos on to the next level by testing the GPU performance in Fire Strike or something and then testing the undervolt, delivering both stock and UV power figures in watts for the average Joe to understand as well as the graphics scores to compare. Taking things even further would be how Bryan did it with FPS charts. But I definitely do think upping the info on these guides will give you a good audience because you test a good variety of hardware to begin with in a non complicated way.

3:20 You can just press shift and then hit enter twice to flatten the right of the curve, no need to do the dragging it all down...just shift + click and drag, then hit enter twice.
Amazing tutorial! thanks!!! Quick question, im running a Gigabyte 4090 master edition. With your "performance" settings, im getting 2750mhz @ 975v with +1300 on the memory. I'm only hitting 55 degrees and the card is whisper quiet. I feel like the GPU has alot more head room. Do you recommend any other settings, or stick with these settings?
Keep in mind that different bins will have different voltage curves. My 4090 Strix has a really strange bin. At 900mv it can only manage 2500-ish clock speed, any higher it would crash, but the curve shoots up at 950mv and can clock to 2750. It also does 2950 at 1.05v stock voltage which is total madness. It appears that there are some bins that can do really high frequency at the higher voltages but sucks at undervolting. So the more reliable way to undervolt is to do +170 mhz on the whole curve (no matter what frequency you land at), and then pick a voltage you want to stick to and flaten the curve from there. I picked 950mv @2750 mhz, doing basically stock performance while drawing at most 380w in 3DMark Firestrike.
@@pnajnaja2720did you figure it out ? idk how to add 170mhz or what that even means so i just did everything in this video but with 2750mhz at 950mv
thank you so much, i was a bit annoyed at how much power the 4090 was taking, but i was a bit scared to do this. youve explained it so simply and easy to follow, very happy with the results

Dude, you are amazing! Really! I never undervolt before, and on the same day, you helped me unvervolt my CPU (Ryzen 7 7700x) and my GPU (rtx 4090). I will show your videos to my friends, for sure! Greetings from Brazil

Great tutorial! Just did this with my old 3070Ti but instead of 2600Mhz I went to 1850Mhz. Getting same FPS as before the undervolt but max temp is now 59C insted of 70C. Nice!

I wanted to add, I just ran Cyberpunk RT: Overdrive + Path tracing, DLSS OFF benchmark and I'm getting 1-1.5 fps gain over stock with your 975/2800 undervolt. I can also run my portable AC in the room with my 4090 while gaming on the same circuit without tripping the breaker now. A life saver.
Be careful, if you start seeing texture artifacts (small rectangles of corrupt textures) which becomes pretty obvious when you see it in multiple different games, then these settings were triggering it for me. I reverted to stock and no longer any artifacts. I suspect Nvidia may have quietly adjusted the default curve to improve stability. Nearly RMA'd mine before I figured it out. While undervolted based on this video, I did not have any stability issues (no BSOD, no crashes)... just artifacts. Wasn't temperature related, would happen even after a cold boot (not sleep) after it was off all night.
This was absolutely amazing! Thank you so much, this dropped my Temps and power draw by a HUGE amount ( i havent checked the exact figures, but im seeing a roughly 6-7C) And this took me no time at all. Will be recommending to some friends aswell
Ho seguito le tue indicazioni ed il risultato è fantastico, adesso la scheda video è silenziosa, più fresca e consuma meno con prestazioni praticamente uguali a prima. Sei stato estremamente utile, grazie.
Mine does 900 mV 2450 MHz in ESO. I did not test beyond that but I think I could push 2500 MHz easy. But why. I put +1000 on memory and no issue. What is fun is that I won't need to push harder and when 5090 comes maybe I skip it or buy it.
Just found this video after fully building out my new pc a few weeks ago and have had a few growing pains. Got everything flowing smoothly until I started playing Destiny 2 again. the game would hard shut off my pc after about 5-10 minutes of playing. this is on a ryzen 7950x3d, rog strix x670e-e mobo, gigabyte 4090 oc with, 64gigs of trident z5 ram, and a corsair rm1200e psu. all the games i'd played i'd had no issue. heat was good. power draw was fine. until destiny. i found this video and followed your tutorial and i can say i haven't noticed a single performance issue and still holding around 250fps on destiny with max settings and zero crashes. appreciate the easy tutorial and explanation
Really smooth and legit guide! Before undervolt (Heaven benchmark): 391.8 fps, 9869, minfps: 72, maxfps: 779.8. And then WITH undervolt (Heaven benchmark): 374 fps, 9422, minfps: 61.2, maxfps: 742.7. So overall, that is a substantial difference, so now I'm thinking how to boost that score to have nearly the same performance as before (Asus TUF OC 4090). UPDATE: I feel like Heaven is an archaic benchmark anyhow, so I instead ran VRMark. Stock 4090 settings gave a score of 17946. Undervolted settings (second half of your video) gave a score of 17,901. Performance is almost identical to stock, so I'm pleased with that, honestly. I suspect that Heaven benchmark is so old that it gives inconsistent results (at times).
Thanks man! Just built a new monster gaming PC but having some issues with loud coil whine on the ASUS Strix 4090 OC. Undervolting using your guide did help but I'm hoping some burn in will decrease it even more, which some users report. Time will tell..Have a nice summer buddy :)
thanks for the video brother , i had my 4070ti undervolted by your 4070ti undervolt tutorial but you used a different method to tweak the curve editor ( which was buggy for me atleast,after startup the curve would change slightly so the profile didnt make sense anymore) this method is way better good job
oh my god man! i have an inno3d x3 OC 4090 that started getting a bit toasty (92 degree hotspot with 20 degree delta). I followed your performance setting and it works amazingly well! hotspot max is 82 degrees now and the GPU is super quiet... best part? there's maybe a 1-2 fps performance loss in the witcher 3 maxed out... this is insane.... Thank you so much for this tutorial and explanation!
Ahahahah you’re way too kind! I think they were a bit too quick with their testing, but it’s not 100% their fault because much has changed compared to how we used to UV the previous gen! :)
Very nice clear video. But when you talk about optimum tech using the 'previous method' at about 8:27 and getting worse results, what method is that? I'm just curious because what you described in this video is what i've done for my 3080, though your way of moving the dots on the graph is a lot quicker.
Thank you! The previous method is what I also use in my tutorials on the channel for 3000 series cards. If you’ve done it on a 3080 it is perfectly fine :) But on RTX 4000 you need to do it the right way!
Hello, I wanted say thanks for this guide. I subscribed, ain't going lie i'm not a huge computer guy when it comes to undervolting and overclocking. Main thing I wanted to do is decrease the temperature since it's summer and my pc feels like how it did in the xbox 360 console days a huge heat warmer that heats the whole room Do you have anymore tips that can push down temps more?
Good video, what knowledgeable people already knew. Glad you explained it to people who didnt know. Honestly disappointed he never updated the original video saying "dont undervolt". His recent content shows he doesnt take criticism the best when he's in the wrong. Like his recent mouse reviews. Kind of lost respect for him as a peer.
Thanks a lot for the kind words! I definitely agree, not making a part two was a mistake imho. I’m sure he had a lot on his mind but yay, I fundamentally agree
Great video, thanks. Let me ask you, do you think I should undervolting my 4090 with lower values than you recommended? The 4090 msi faming trio seems to get only 2610 Mhz maximum core clock, so it wouldn't be a considerable undervolt with 2600 max, right?
gracias :) always coming back, because I always forget how to move the curves ;) having profiles with 0.9 and 0.925 and clock speeds from 2600-2700 with nice temperatures and powerconsumption (don't need the performance profile yet with the 4090, before my 7800x3d will limit in my games). Fans are only at 30% while playing demanding MSFS. It is a pleasure! THX. btw. can I see the Palit GameRock OC? I have also the Palit. Which CPU are you using?

I had the hardest time getting my 4090 liquid suprim x fans to follow the curve I set in Afterburner. The firmware in the 4090 would automatically spin fans at a much lower temp from what I assigned. With this undervolt the fans now behave the way I want. I'm still having trouble getting the fans to spin below 30% but at lest they kick in based on my set temps. Thanks!

My PC was shutting down every time I apply high definition textures in Adobe Substance Painter and the reason was my RTX 4090 is getting up to 400w, too much for my power supply capacity. After this undervolt, my consumption is about 280W and the PC stoped to shutting down when use real time render. Thank you!
Subbed and Notifications turned ON! Very well executed video! I appreciate your respect for viewers time and your awareness about similar videos about this subject. Being able to put yourself in your audience shoes is very good skill, although im not sure if specializing your channel in pc building tips is best approach - maybe its fine at the beginning to get some community but imo think about diversifying it at some point (games, Ai, anime/other shows, commentary, maybe organize some fun tech tournaments with your subs, idk). Unless its just a hobby of course; I say all that because there are at least 2 big channels about pc's - linus tech tips and gamers nexus and it will be tough to become the third one. I detect some max power limit on this one ;) but maybe you will prove me wrong
Thanks a LOT for the sub, for the feedback and for the advice! PC building is definitely a niche subject, but it’s my passion! I’ll definitely try to diversify as you say, it’s probably a good move business wise, but I can’t see myself stopping doing builds :)
Hey there again, thx for your response on my comment at the Undervolting 5950x tutorial. Now im again here i get today my MSI 4090 gaming x trio. I have to say great thanks again, first i decrease my temps on the 5950x nearly about 19 degrees and now ive set this monster of a card to your recommended 2600 and it stays about 2580 and i have to say the temps are about 53 at max and you cant feel the performance loss its stays up in the bench with around 240 and at other scenes at about 380-410. Great Work and many thanks from Germany =) you let my hardware live for few more years. Carry on youre doing great content!!! Update Downside is i cant run it with 900ma und 2600mhz at warthunder is the issue the +1000 memory clock or the other settings? maybe you have an idea =)
Re-update your profile is really fine. My Gpu Core has to be reballed, thx to the DPD Football-Team -.- now it is and it works totally fine. Many thanks from germany =)
Thanks for the great sharing！Have a question that if we just do the undervolt without reducing the power target, to what extent of effect will it have on reducing the total power consumption?
Great guide. How will I know if 1300 is too much for the memory clock? Am I just looking for artifacting or other graphical errors in the benchmark? Seems perfect so far
Glad it was helpful! To check if it’s not too much yes, you’re looking at artifacting but you also need to test is going from +800 to +1300 produces a performance increase. If it doesn’t, no need to put +1300 as it might be slightly unstable
I know I've already done this before, but when I had my 3080 Ti before upgraded to a 4090. I had two different UV profiles because the one is for games that use Ray tracing. I did research and found out that Nvidia GPU's RTX cores are very sensitive to the gpu voltage. If you set it a bit too low voltage and games would just simply crashed. Just be aware about that. So I set it slightly higher volt but still less than what factory voltage was used to be set and i tested a couple RTX games and it ran solid without crashing. But for raster games that don't have RTX. So I have a quite lower voltage but can clock at higher and it ran for hours no problem. Right now is I haven't UV my 4090 yet, but I had to watch your video because i can't remember what shortcut keys to make clocks go flat line. So thank you for showing me for that.

Very informative! If my stock for 4090 is 2730mhz, is this the frequency I should target too at 975mv? Or lower still? Tested option 1, performance in 3dmark seems too low vs stock so am opting for option 2.

Excellent tutorial! I understood everything you said, but you didn't explain why you overclocked the memory clock (+1300 and +1200 respectively), I would appreciate if you could explain it. Thanks!
Great video, im trying to decide which profile to choose I don't mind a small performance drop (maybe 5 fps) for lots of saved power consumption. Would you recommend the 90 mv undervolt for this case?

I just want to say your tutorials regarding undervolting are great, I just want to make sure about my RTX 4070 ti, the video you have on that card's undervolt is different, I follow this guide right? I ignore that one? Thanks again. I did -300 and then got .950 to 2750MHZ and 1000MHZ memory overclock per your guide and it is stable, this is the better method right?
Thanks a lot! Yes this is the better method but for the 4070 Ti the other one is valid as well. On the RTX 4090 one NEEDS to use this method :) be sure to subscribe for more & to support the channel
Hey! Thank you for this video! Im thinking about upgrading my built from a 3070TI to an MSI 4090. The only thing I was worried about, was the 450 watts since it seems to be quite a lot of power in the long run (power is expensive in europe :D ), and if my Corsair RM850x PSU will be good enough for it. What is the average max power that the card consumes after the undervolting? Thx for an answer and keep up the great work :)
Should be under 400w and I’m using an hx750i and have even run cp2077 at 133% max power and with only a 3 to 1 cable and still was pulling around 550w on the gpu only. I didn’t run it this way for long as I like to keep card under the 70°c mark and under 60% fan speed. Asus tuf non oc. I haven’t tried this uc yet but I’d just try it and monitor the card power in Hwmonitor.. can crl alt out of some games with them still running full power. Also furmark works if it’s in windowed mode. Just play around and please don’t worry about power being too much for your psu. It’s plenty even if you’re running intel haha… but you shouldn’t run intel imo unless you know specifically why you need it. 95+ % of ppl should be running an x3d either the am4 or 5…
Late answer but here I am! I can definitely confirm that the 850W Corsair unit would be plenty for an undervolted RTX 4090! It should draw a maximum of 300W with the 900mV option
Worked like a charm. Played Alan wake 2 at 4k high settings from 450 watts to 380 watts while keeping the same FPS using the performance undervolt method 2. Thanks the detailed guide! Question out of curiosity: How are you able to set your power limit up to 111? Mine is already maxed at 100 by default.
I’m really happy it was helpful! Thanks a lot for taking the time to leave some feedback :) Consider subscribing if you wanna support the channel! The maximum power limit offset achievable is card dependent :)
Great video, will try it out when my card arrives - much appreciated! Just one thing, it would have been even great to also see how much power was saved due to this methods and that it shows if the FPS stay the same/change
I’m really happy you liked it! Make sure to leave some feedback after you tried it! :) I’ve also got a few build videos on the channel and more coming, if you like the content consider subscribing as it really helps me a lot! I generally do the testing on the build videos!
I hope with this it's going to improve my fps. Right now im doing 130fps on warzone with the 4090 and i913900f.🙏 And you will suggest to upgrade my cpu with the 13900k?
Very clear explanation and great video. I really like the fact that you reference various sources and explain why your opinion differs etc. Anyway keep up the good work - like and a subscribe from me!
I set 2750 in the curve editor and +1300 Mem as per your video and so far everything seems to be stable with my MSI RTX4090 Gaming X Trio with the Suprim X BIOS installed.

Followed this guide for my 4090 FE and appears to work very nicely. Only question is my 4090 FE allows up to 133% Power Limit in Afterburner. Should I max that out as your guide says or follow your limits at 111% as shown on your screen?
This is how I UVed my 4090, long long ago when it first came out, despite the idiots on youtube claiming not to undervolt their cards. And have been happy ever since. I was more aggressive though, I picked 865mV. The only reason I didn't go lower is, the card doesn't allow it. The thing idles at 0,875mV and slightly droops to 865
Good tutorial. 925mv at 2650mhz memory clock default , lost around 60w to 80w power draw at 1440p. And max temperature. In cyberpunk 2.1 ray tracing on temp never passes 72.

Hey, just found your channel. Thank you for the tutorial. I'm about the get a Gainward Phantom rtx 4090 to use it on a sffpc Dan C4 sfx. I'm curious, most people online just limit their power limit between 70-80%. Do you believe the method you used would achieve a better result? In my case in specific, I'd like to prioritize less power draw/temperature, even if I lose some performance. On another topic, I'm thinking of just using my corsair sf750 psu with the 4090, but I'm worried a bit. Do you think it's still safe to use this psu with your power curve? Thanks
Hey there! Yes, I do think it's better than Power limiting, I actually discuss it in depth in the video! While undervolted, the SF750 will be fine if you also have an undervolted CPU!
@@ImWateringPSUs I didn't expect that you'd actually answer me! Thank you for taking the time. Let me take the opportunity and ask a few more questions. I'll be pairing a ryzen 7 5800x3D, so I guess I'll be fine with the Corsair sf750, right? Here in my region (Japan) I can get the Inno3d rtx 4090 X3 OC / Inno3d rtx 4090 iChill x3 / Palit rtx 4090 gamerock / gainward phantom rtx 4090 for the same price and they are all compatible with the dan c4 sfx. What gpu do you think I should get? I know the performance should be very similar, but I never owned any of these brands. I'll be using your guide here to undervolt them.
@@eduedumacedof you didn't buy a new GPU yet, i would go for the Palit Gamerock. I have also a 750 PSU, a 5800x3d and a Suprim X 4090 undervolted 0,900 V 2655 MHZ and 1000 MHZ Memoc with 5 Percent + Powertarget. The whole system consumes 440 Watt (CPU ~ 60 to 70W, GPU depends on Game 170 to Max 350 Watt with Raytracing and 4K, SSD, Fans, RGB and Mainboard ~ 30 Watt) 4090 at Stock with 5800x3d is also no problem with a good 750 PSU (Seasonic, Corsair)
@@patrickmika6493 hey thank you for your reply. That's exactly the card I got and I'm running the same power curve as the one in the video. 2600v0.9 + 1300 on the memory. I also undervolted my 5800x3d and everything has been extremely smooth. I'm very pleased overall. I'm also paying attention to gpu power rail to make sure I'm not getting close to the melting point, but so far the Corsair 12vhpwr extension cable has been operating normally. I built everything in a sffpc Dan C4 sfx and again, couldn't be happier hehe. I can finally drive me lg 42c2 to its maximum potential. Cheers
@@eduedumacedo Good decision with the RTX 4090 Gamerock . I have also the 12vhpwr Cable for my Seasonic PSU and had never Problems. Yes, i also undervolt the 5800x3d with MSI Kombostrike (same like PBO) und runs cooler as stock. How much do you paid for your GPU in Japan ? Here in Germany now costs the 4090 between 1600 (Gigabyte) and 2000 EUR for the Strix and Suprim. But was also more expensive in the past. Greetings from Germany
Your GPU switched from 2595MHZ to 2820MHZ before you applied your performance profile. Have I missed something? My GPU is at stock at 2530MHZ at 900. Should I raise the Core Clock about 70 or more in that case or start earlier with the undervoltage? ?
i undervolted my 3080 years ago and now i undervolted my 4090. it makes the gaming experience much smoother even if peak fps is lowered by a percent or two.

Thanks for the video. One issue however that I discovered the hard way. Going higher on ram speed is not necessarily better for FPS. Using your suggestions, I ran benchmarks in Timespy and the higher I went on memory, the LOWER my graphics score was each time. +1300mhz for example ended up offering worse performance than +1000mhz. This is apparently due to error correction that takes place on modern GPUs when ram is pushed too high. Many times, modern cards will keep running (not crash) at unstable memory speeds, but the performance suffers. Can you do a video on this topic? I think many people are not informed about it and would appreciate being shown how to find the “sweet spot” for memory OC.
1. ECC is not enabled by default on Nvidia GPU's, you have to enable it through Nvidia control panel. 2. Every card is different. I can Max my GPU's memory (4090 AERO) to 2000+ and still not see degradation in performance but its not stable. I run +1700 stable and get the best gains at this OC. 3. It is general practice and mentioned in many overclocking vid's from years and years ago that you OC until you either a.) GPU starts becoming unstable or b.) you start loosing performance. Maybe he assumed most people would understand to look for this already and is why he didn't mention it.
Thanks for this comment. And thanks for the reply too! Yes I did assume people would double check with a benchmark, I’ll make a dedicated video about it!
