@Nudhul @RustyCrab @SuperDicq @white_male GPU overclocking is basically dead anyway. nVidia sets the maximum clocks, voltage and power consumption and does not allow any change made to those maximums without resorting to external hardware modifications outside of VBIOS that the manufacturer will no be able to sell anyway due to the licensing.
In other words the "overclocked" cards are just cards with something better cooling than the stock FE cards with the default clocks slightly adjusted by the manufacturer. The BIOS itself will not allow anyone, even the manufacturer, to go above limits, which is why GPU overclocking has turned into maxing out the sliders in MSI Afterburn and that's it.
Even though manufacturers modify the default nVidia VBIOS and are allowed to change some parts of it, the maximum limits cannot be changed without breaking licensing.

@RustyCrab @SuperDicq @phnt @white_male also is that because a ton of gpus are marketed as being overclocked (buzz word which means more gooder now) out of the box?
