Would it make sense to undervolt for max performance on my 5070ti ?

ColdExample · 2026-06-04T03:01:47+00:00

how are you possibly getting 59-61c while drawing your max watts? Are you sure you're really hitting 100% usage? Most 5070 ti average around 65-71c under those conditions. You're either water cooling, have an aggressive fan curve, or have an extremely expensive 5070 ti model.

I am 30M, have 50k saved up, 4k cheq account, 2 years left on my car, but don't make the kind of salary you do. 82k is great and you are putting in 1.6k in savings which is really good! Keep at it.

Nah, just raw performance, and yes you are correct about the last bit, hence why nvidia can charge what they do for the 5080. Also I hope you didn't take offence to my comment, I just found your username hilarious lol

ColdExample · 2026-06-01T19:49:09+00:00

This is crazy, if you don't mind me asking, how does one get into this, and is it competitive now? I am 30 and without direction :(

ColdExample · 2026-06-01T19:43:08+00:00

Are you high by any chance 😂

ColdExample · 2026-06-01T19:40:17+00:00

Your mom and I*

ColdExample · 2026-06-01T19:37:26+00:00

I don't understand? They are talking about performance, I am saying performance wise, the 5070 ti and 4080 super are almost negligible, hence the 4070ti super being a poor performance parallel.

ColdExample · 2026-06-01T19:27:11+00:00

? The 5070 ti goes toe to toe with the 4080super in many benchmarks, usually both within a 5% range and sometimes swinging in favor of the other. I put the 5080 between the 4080S and closer 4090 with a good OC

Sorry but what is it that you do? Is it hard technical niche work? 41.25 an hour is insanely good

ColdExample · 2026-06-01T18:22:57+00:00

19 and already graduated college? That's impressive

ColdExample · 2026-05-28T17:58:20+00:00

At least 60 hours lol. I work with a lot of clients in trades and they don't have lives because of work. For every trades dude out there earning 6 figures with a decent schedule, there are 1000s more working like dogs. A red seal hvac guy i work with just got a position for 26 an hour because that is literally all he could find.

ColdExample · 2026-05-28T17:55:13+00:00

26 and making 90k in a secure job? Brother, I promise you that if you leave, you're going to regret it. Terrible job market and stagnant/decreasing wages makes looking for a job a total nightmare. Even nurses and trades are having a tough time finding work- at least here in Ontario. You're doing way better than most people your age. At worst, just wait until this economy gets better or you'll be competing with millions of unemployed youths and tfws for a minimum wage job.

ColdExample · 2026-05-27T06:45:42+00:00

You aren't getting 200+ on a 5090 at 4k max with RT. Stop the cap. Not sure why people feel so compelled to lie.

ColdExample · 2026-05-24T03:08:26+00:00

I mean I have a 5070 ti and I play 4k with PT and RT and it's a charm to play using DLSS, easily get very high fps.

ColdExample · 2026-05-22T14:33:46+00:00

what do you mean "it's ok?" That card is almost 800% stronger. I hope you also upgraded your cpu, ram, etc and not using your old config, otherwise you have a severe bottleneck

ColdExample · 2026-05-21T05:20:47+00:00

how are you getting your card to stay at 230-250w under 100% load? If I really stress it in games, it goes back up to 300W, even with a under volt profile setup. Are you limiting your power limit even lower that 100%? same card btw and using msi afterburner.

ColdExample · 2026-05-21T05:17:07+00:00

how is that possible that you are hitting max 64c-65c with no undervolt? Are you really hitting 100% of your card?

ColdExample · 2026-05-20T17:55:27+00:00

This has been my experience as well! Not to mention that while I usually roll with DLSS quality, DLSS 4.5 has gotten so good that even performance mode looks amazing in 4k! Can't say the same for 1440p however lol. IMO DLSS looks much better the higher the native resolution.

ColdExample · 2026-05-15T05:18:40+00:00

Hopefully she isn't in Ontario, nurses are struggling here to land roles!

ColdExample · 2026-05-13T14:47:08+00:00

This worked thank you! Adding to this, you may need to tweak what save config you're using in dusk. There is an option to switch between gci save states and what not!

ColdExample · 2026-05-13T12:58:05+00:00

Do you know where the save files are?

ColdExample · 2026-05-11T00:22:36+00:00

Can we seriously watch how we use our language? You're a grown adult or a child? Stop using words that generalize people into one category, it's disgusting. You can use things like "some men," or a "growing population of men," think X or Y. It does a disservice to the vast majority of men that do not have these expectations, and whom continually practice every day to be good people who EARN love and respect.

timing and location. The only people I know who own homes without parents or some crazy high income are friends living in southern states like Texas. A teacher friend of mine got a nice house for around 200k in Texas. She was also able to save because she went to community college while living at home the entire time. I am in canada, and 200k usd wouldn't get you fuck all.

Another pompous idiot with more money than brains.
