GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER FE Overclocking
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER Stock Core Clock Speeds
To get a sense for our baseline performance, the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER FE has a stock base clock of 1650MHz, a stock boost clock of 1815MHz and operates its memory at 15.5GHz GDDR6. We pulled out Battlefield V and sat down for a gaming session and recorded the actual GPU clock to run at about 1905MHz. This represents a 4.9% gain over the boost clock promised by its specifications.
GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER FE Overclocked Speeds
We overclocked the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER FE by dialing up the power limit to +112, bumping the voltage to +25 mV and the fans up to 100% and then began increasing the GPU clock. We found that a +150 offset crashed immediately to the desktop and a +125 offset would work for about a five seconds. We continued backing off 5MHz at a time until the +110 offset stabilized for us.
We then started increasing the memory speeds and were able to find an additional 900MHz of GDDR6 speed to bring us to a 16.4GHz GDDR6 rate. After finding the highest stable configuration, we backed off the fans a bit to bring down the noise level and still maintained stability and temperatures lower than the stock configuration, leaving our fans set at 80%.
After a few gaming sessions at our maximum stable overclock, we measured the actual GPU clocks within Battlefield V over the course of five minutes to see how the boost clocks were working. It initially started at 2055MHz but quickly stepped down to 2040MHz within the first minute of gaming and stayed locked on that clock for the duration of our session. This is an additional 7.1% higher than the stock boost clock that we measured and an extra 5.8% gain on the memory.
