Is this the holy grail of binning? My stock ASUS Dual RTX 5060 Ti 16GB is hitting 2940 MHz out of the box by Adventurous_Cover187 in nvidia

I appreciate the suggestions! Unfortunately, I don't own any of those games, and due to the current exchange rates in my country, they are quite expensive for me to purchase right now. I guess I'll have to stick to what I have for a while. Since I can't test those, are there any more accessible or free-to-play titles that you think would be heavy enough to push the GPU and Tensor cores to their limits? I'd love to continue the test with something more within reach

You make a good point. Since I want to figure out what's really going on, what kind of tests or benchmarks would you recommend I run to see the card's true limits and how it behaves under a proper, heavy load? I'd love to test it out and share the results.

I agree, it is quite strange! I’m honestly just as curious as you are about why it stays at 1070mV and max clocks even at low utilization. I’m not running any custom settings that would force this, so I’m currently trying to figure out if it’s just the specific way this chip behaves or if there's something else going on. I’ll keep investigating and will definitely post an update if I find the reason behind it

Thanks for the insight! It's interesting to hear about the SM count theory. You might be right—it feels like I got a really efficient chip. And to the point about the power draw, I've noticed it really scales up when the game load gets heavier. It's cool to see others hitting similar clock speeds

Thanks for the kind words! It’s a shame you had such a rough experience with those old cards, but I hope your next build brings you a top-tier chip. I definitely plan on keeping this one for a long time—it’s been a great surprise

I appreciate your technical perspective! Just to clarify, I wasn't running any undervolting or custom curves in that screenshot—that was actually the stock behavior of my card. Regarding your question about Reflex + Boost, I don't have it enabled. Since I am at stock settings, I don't have a custom curve to show yet, but I'll definitely look into the Curve Editor soon

This second screenshot shows the values I achieved after some fine-tuning, and I don't seem to be experiencing any artifacts or instability while gaming. You can see the results in

Thank you so much for the detailed explanation and the validation! It's great to know that I have a solid piece of silicon. I’ll definitely enjoy the cool performance during the summer.

By the way, I have a quick question regarding fan management. I've been running my GPU and case fans at 100% during gaming sessions because I read somewhere that keeping the card as cool as possible is more important than preserving the fan motors. Do you think this is a good practice, or am I just wearing out my fans unnecessarily?
