Leaving 4070 Ti Super OC at full boost clock during certain applications

[Vario]

Some games and certain cuda accelerated programs seem to work better with constant clock rather than having it fluctuate, so I created a profile in MSI afterburner that locks my 4070Ti Super OC at 2625 Mhz Core and 1312 MHz Memory at 0.950 V. To create this profile, I took my normal undervolt power curve in afterburner and then hit L on the lowest voltage full boost node, then saved the profile.

I turn this profile on when I am using these applications and then I turn it off afterwards, so its usually on an hour or two. It typically doesn't get over 65C under load and the power draw is usually around 20W idle and 200 W load when its in this profile. It seems to idle around 40C.

Can this adversely affect my graphics card's lifespan? I doubt it but I figure I'd ask.

Nah. Why .950 though? Temp related maybe?

I tried lower undervolting (0.920V) and it caused one of the games I was playing to soft crash to desktop. Raising it back to 0.950V and it stopped occurring.

While I am not qualified in electrical engineering or whatever field specializes in silicon degradation to know for sure I doubt locking voltages under what the card would boost to normally will have any effect on longevity.

If you were maxing out power limits raising voltages and overclocking at the same time maybe.

Nope you're fine, those temps are perfectly normal for a card under load. The only danger of undervolting too far at high clock speeds is the system crashing/hanging. Poses no physical risk to the card itself, though data corruption can occur when the system shuts down unexpectedly so if you have critical data on this machine I'd suggest keeping good backups if you're going to run this config daily.

I just let mine use what it wants.. 1.1v gets me 2955 @ F@H, and just over 3GHz in game. Mems are set to 1466 which gives me like 1497 or something.. something.. not at home atm

Nice! I didn't fuck with my memory clock but I know theres room on the table there, I've just killed videocards in the past (green dots and what not) with memory OC so I didn't.

You can use rivatuner to load the profile easier.

You'll be fine, this shouldn't have any adverse effect. I prefer linear clocks over any boosting algorithm (consistency) and I miss that dearly. EVGA had an utility called K-Boost back in the day that disabled GPU Boost and restored static clock functionality, unfortunately it was never updated and it only works with Maxwell and older drivers these days.

Before this variable clockspeed hooplah never had a desktop or program issue.

Gotta say this thing is crazy efficient. On my variable afterburner profile with slight underclock and with undervolt, probably can undervolt a bit further too.
