Overclocking Ampere, RTX 3060 115w/Omen 16

I just bought a omen 16

rtx 3060 115w
11800h
16gb ram
144hz 1080p screen

I downloaded msi afterburner and tried locking in clocks by pressing L on curve editor and tried overclocking by 170mhz but my performance only increases in timespy give or take 2 points. I have high performance set and everything's good with settings it's just that im a NOOB when it comes to Ampere OverClocking.

Not the busiest forum, but i'm sure one of you could step me through this

 

That's too high your going to be hitting power limit quick at that offset, try +42 core and +175 vram.

That should stay within the limit of tdp.

thanx

I noticed alot of you can boost your scores quite a bit but why doesn't my performance go up. I'll try 42 175 but I was wondering how to get the clocks to stay within say 1900-2000mhz they go up and down like a bipolar person.

Also my temps re great under 72c on cpu and gpu

goal: To get 9000-10 000 in timespy graphics

@hacktrix thanks again do you have any pointers besides 42 and 175

 

After trying 42/175 just go up in 2/1 offsets till its instable then once you hit that back off by 6/4 .

I have noticed that RTX 3000 hates 2.2ghz on core on laptops even in a burst state.

Once your happy with the offsets then use something like HW info to monitor core clocks and voltage then try mapping a vcurve with it you might get a bit more out of it.

sweet thnx

I did it but however my timespy score gpu is only getting 8700.

How did these people get 9800?

 

Did you set the MUX so that the GPU is outputting directly to the laptop's screen?

 

yes its set to discrete


first thing I did was set all settings to performance before running timespy

 

Can you link the ones with 9800 Timespy score and then link your TS scores

Also make sure you have removed the Lock on fan curve as that will not help if your doing offset overclocking.

I have the same Cpu, and Gpu and im getting over 1000 points less in TimeSpy and The one I linked is the 99th result

Drivers?

I can't find my result, so many to sort through but I assure you Im only getting 8700 GPU. Maybe I could print screen

 

I don't get it overclocking by 75mhz does almost nothing maybe 100 points more how the heck are you guys getting like 15-30 percent increase

 

I need a direct link to your timespy score bud.

Try to undervolt your CPU as its bouncing all over the place.

Also your ram is it one stick of 16GB or 2 8GB sticks as Single channel will hamper your scores too.

 

I undervolted by 0.035v and it lowered temperatures so i could lock cpu at 4000mhz.

broke 9000 overall in timespy

having issues gaining more than 2fps

it seems to throttle with anything above 1800mhz

 

Try undervolting the gpu too.

 

They probably using the 130w (115w+15) RTX 3060, while yours is the 115w (100w+15w) one. I dont think HP uses the 130w version like Lenovo and Alienware does. Also Dynamic boost make things confusing tbh.

Another thing instead of worrying about your graphics score you should be worrying about your CPU score which is pretty low for a i7-11800 which is holding your score back and it could be throttling during the test because of your temps, i would focus on that and dont fry your laptop to try to beat someone elses score its not worth it.

 

I had to reinstall windows and do a clean driver install

Now my 3060 goes to 1900mhz and hovers around 1800-1920 and i'm getting better performance. I broke timespy 9000 overall and got a 8800 gpu score which I think is the highest 115w 3060 score, for some reason I can only get it to run in steam offline mode.

cpu score is better at 23800 in firestrike, I didn't break 20 000 but I got close at around 18900. 22000 for gpu and 24800 for cpu. In games my temps are fine at 70-71c on both gpu and cpu after 10 min of gaming and thats all I do in bursts.

I got the scores with the help of @hacktrix2006 in undervolting and looking at a youtube video on how to do it. Also I dont think its possible to get 9000+ on gpu with the 115w locked 3060.

heres a picture of cyberpunk maxed out at 1080p with scaling on and sharpening at 60 percent and dlss on quality. (psycho settings)



I think that getting 50 and having it look better than native thanks to deep learning and nvidias shapening is in 2070 desktop territory and matches or beats the desktop 3060(un overclocked)


if TLDR

Does anyone know what a Un overclocked rtx 3070 gets FPS wise in cyber punk maxed dlss quality? and without

I'm getting 27-31fps average maxed without dlss. I'm asking because it's not too late to take this back and get a 3070 laptop(same price).

 

Use the MSI Afterbuner Volt curve but don't lock it and just increase each clock per voltage by 5mhz till you get stable and decent performance.

thanks for the help

I was able to boost my timspy graphics score by 200 points from 8300 to 8500

Seems like a small boost compared to everyone else, after 100 core increase the clocks don't seem to go above 1775-1820 regardless of settings, I'm in high performance and dedicated mux on the graphics and the newest drivers installed via clean install.

If you only get 0.2-0.5 fps more why do people overclock? Seems like a waste of time unless i'm doing it wrong, and or people have a trick or two they use to get higher scores and fps in games.

any suggestion would be appreciated!

Also if it seems contradictory I can't seem to replicate my first results of 8800(gpu) and the descent boost to 9200 overall in timespy

 

Might be down to Silicon lottery bud at that.

 

I will keep trying

I think I just have a poorly binned card and that's fine as it performs great for a stock 3060, (8400 gpu and 8800 overall). Not bad at all

I'm actually using it as my 4k gaming driver, I'm using my 4k tv at 60 hz and most games will run at 4k with some settings turned down (older games maxed). Should I upgrade to a 3080 like a ge76 for 4k or is that power only needed for 4k120 or maxing games? The difference doesn't seem that big. I watched a few 3080 laptop videos and maxed it gets 10-20 fps more at 4k but I guess if you don't mind lowering the settings it's moot.

also Hacktrix is there a faster way to overclock vs changing everything by 5mhz at a time, programs?

 

You can go to 10 or even 15mhz segments but it makes finding the stable point harder.

 

I found the geforce auto overclocking. suggested plus 93. score is not going up like yours

 

My score only went up because i v-curved it after finding the limit with offset. There is no point in me sharing my v-curve as each card is different.

However if nvidia is saying that +93 offset is possible try an offset of +47 on core then an offset of +100 on vram see how that tunes.

 

v curved worked best for me

but im getting artifacting on most settings, should i be worried what cause artifacting and is it a sign of a brand new laptop dying

 

No its a sign of instability if it is happening during benchmark runs so turn the overclocks down.
