Recently, I overclocked my 5070 Ti and have two questions:
- Under load, the card doesn't reach the specified clock of around 2500 MHz but usually stays around 70-80 MHz lower. Is that normal, or is there something I can change?
- The curve now starts at 800 MHz. Is that bad for the card? Should I manually set it to start at 500 MHz?

1. Normal, if you underclock it like this, the actual limit is 5-10mV lower, so you have to to flatten the curve 5-10mV further.
2. Increasing the whole curve is pointless, you will increase power consumption in idle by quite a lot. Instead of doing +400 ofsett on the whole curve, use shift and left click to highlight only 750+mV part of the curve, drag it to the same offset, then flatten everything past the voltage you want to run (so 810mV if you want the gpu to boost to 800mV), apply the changes, and the curve will automatically rearange so that the lft part of the curve still idles with the same frequency, and right part of the curve is overclocked and undervolted.
BTW what model do you have? you are lucky you can set 2500mhz at 800mv, on my windforce the default curve is much lower for lower voltages, only 1200mhz at 800mV, and since +1000 is the core OC limit for every point on the curve, i can run only 2200mhz at 800mV which sucks. The +1000 limits starts to limit my oc at 820mV, i can run 2700mhz @ 825mV because the stock curve is over 1700mhz at 825mV, but anything lower has to run on lower frequency than it could actually.
Select 810 to 900mV Range, pull up +1000Mhz, select the range after 900mV, pull down to the bottom, set +2000mhz memory(or 3000 if u have the modified database file for afterburner), hit apply, done.
