Context: May 2024 i bought this 4070ti Super because my old 2070 couldn't hang in 1440p anymore. For a year or so i was happy with my stock performance, but lately a crap ton of games don't even run at native 60fps at high settings (not even ultra, not even RT) even tho technically speaking we're still talking about a top 10 consumer GPU. You could blame it on games'optimization, but still.
So i tried to mess a little bit with OC (haven't done it in ages). After stress testing on OCCT, 3DMark, Furmark and a bunch of games' benchmarks like Wukong, Cyberpunk, AC Shadows etc. the highest stable tweaking i could get on Afterburner with +12%PL and +100mV (which are both the slider's max) is +175core /+1100mem.
And even then, after +500mem i get virtually no gains because i'm always either power limited on stress tests, or voltage limited on games benchmarks.
With those numbers all i get is roughly 4.8% more on 3DMark and 3-6% in games. With a power draw that can reach 319w on a 285w card, a peak voltage of 1100mv and a temp increase of a good 5°/6° (without getting thermal limited tho) i'm wondering if it's even worth to go for this pretty disappointing OC or to go back to stock and just get over it.
I'm not an expert and i don't know if there're better methods to get better results or if a normie like me should even go for the extra mile to begin with.
