GPU Undervolt Settings and Attributed Results

GPU undervolt and power-limit results, one row per setting a source measured: the stock and tuned figures, the source's author and publication date, and the passage the numbers come from. One row is TechFuelHQ's own RTX 5080 stock baseline. Workloads differ between rows, so no row predicts another card.

The dataset is rendered as a browsable table here: https://techfuelhq.com/articles/gpu-undervolt-settings-database/

The website serves the same file at https://techfuelhq.com/data/undervolt_results.json.

Read a row's test_method and its source before borrowing any setting.


Status: nine rows; synchronized October 1, 2026

The dataset contains 9 rows compiled by TechFuelHQ:

Source type Rows What it means
editorial-firstparty 1 TechFuelHQ's own bench: the RTX 5080 stock baseline (ASUS ROG Astral OC, June 8 to 11, 2026)
review-measured 4 A publication's or reviewer's test: Der8auer's RX 9070 XT, Alva Jonathan's two RX 9070 tunes, Quasar Zone's RTX 4090 power limit
community-verified 4 An owner's report on their own card: RTX 5070 Ti, RX 9070 XT, RX 7900 XTX, RTX 4090

TechFuelHQ reproduced none of the external rows. Each row's source_read gives the date TechFuelHQ last read its figures in the source, and source_quote the passage they come from.

null means the source gives no matched measurement; zero would mean a reported zero change. power_saved_w is also null where the tune drew more power than stock, as the two RDNA 4 performance tunes did; their watts are in stock_result and tuned_result.

Cards covered: RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4090 (NVIDIA) and RX 9070 XT, RX 9070, RX 7900 XTX (AMD).

Every row carries a source_url. A source_url that starts with / is a path on https://techfuelhq.com.


How to contribute

  1. Fork this repo.
  2. Add one object to the results array in data/undervolt_results.json, with stock and tuned measurements from the same workload and a source.
  3. Open a pull request. The submission template fills in automatically; complete the field guide and checklist in it.

Opening a pull request requires a GitHub account. Email contact@techfuelhq.com with the same information if you prefer not to use GitHub. Maintainers review submissions through pull requests.

What the automated check does

scripts/undervolt_outlier_flag.py runs on pull requests touching the dataset or checker (workflow). It checks schema, numeric bounds and required source fields, and warns about statistical outliers. These checks cannot establish that an experiment happened, authenticate a measurement, or prove stability. The site table excludes rows marked flagged; maintainers must review the evidence.

Run it yourself before opening the PR:

python scripts/undervolt_outlier_flag.py --self-test   # proves the checker works
python scripts/undervolt_outlier_flag.py --check       # validates the dataset

The rules that get a row rejected

  • A setting nobody measured. A recommended or "typical" setting is not a row.
  • An outcome without an attributable measurement. Leave it null. Do not estimate. A value from a published report must name that source and workload; never present it as your own test.
  • No resolvable source. source_url is required: a review, a forum or Reddit thread, or your own screenshot or log.
  • An untested "stable" claim. Say how long you tested and in what. FurMark does not validate an NVIDIA curve undervolt; it needs a real load that holds the card at the locked clock.
  • Setting flagged or flag_reason yourself. Those belong to the maintainer and the script.

Schema

Top level is an object with two keys: meta (dataset metadata, including a field dictionary) and results (the array of rows). meta.schema_version is 2. Each row:

Field Type Notes
id string Unique slug, gpu-board-setting
gpu string Canonical model, e.g. RTX 5080, RX 9070 XT
vendor string NVIDIA or AMD
board string Board the source tested, or "" if the source does not name it
tbp_watts number|null Reference total board power for the card as tested; null for a partner board whose own rating the source does not state
method string MSI Afterburner V/F curve, AMD Adrenalin voltage offset or maximum voltage, or a power limit alone
setting string Settings as the source states them; not a stability guarantee
voltage_mv number|null NVIDIA curve target, or AMD RDNA3 absolute max voltage
offset_mv number|null AMD negative voltage offset (RDNA4)
clock_mhz number|null Target/held core clock
power_limit_pct number|null Percent of stock (NVIDIA, e.g. 90) or delta (AMD, e.g. -10); null if untouched
power_saved_w number|null Stock minus tuned board power in the stated workload; null without a matched pair or when the tune drew more
temp_drop_c number|null Stock minus tuned temperature in the stated workload, °C
fps_delta_pct number|null + gain, 0 parity, - loss; rounded from the source's stock and tuned figures where both are given
stability_hours number|null Reported stable test duration; null means no duration established
stock_result string The stock figures the source measured, with the workload
tuned_result string The tuned figures the source measured in the same workload
test_method string Workload, whose card it was, and the limits of the measurement
source_type string editorial-firstparty, review-measured, community-verified, or community-submitted
source_url string Required. Where the figures were published
source_url_2 string A second source for the same test, or ""
source_publisher string Publication or forum that carries the source
source_author string Author, poster or tester the source names
source_title string Title of the source page or thread
source_date string YYYY-MM-DD the source was published or posted
source_quote string A short verbatim passage from the source
source_read string YYYY-MM-DD TechFuelHQ last read the source
submitter string Who compiled or submitted the row, with original attribution
date string YYYY-MM-DD the row was added or corrected; not the experiment date
flagged boolean Maintainer/script owned; leave false
flag_reason string Maintainer/script owned; leave ""

meta.fields in the JSON carries the same dictionary, so the file documents itself.

Correction history

October 1, 2026: synchronized with the website's corrections of September 26 and 28; data/undervolt_results.json is now the same file the website serves (schema version 2, nine rows). Removed three settings that could not be traced to a measurement in their cited sources: rtx-4080-super-950mv-2760mhz, rtx-5090-900mv-2800mhz and rtx-4090-940mv-2700mhz. Replaced the RTX 5080 setting of 950 mV at 2,750 MHz (rtx-5080-rog-astral-oc-950mv-2750mhz) with TechFuelHQ's RTX 5080 stock baseline from LK Wood IV's June 8 to 11, 2026 runs (rtx-5080-rog-astral-oc-stock-baseline). Added rtx-4090-60pct-power-limit (Quasar Zone's 60% power limit as TechPowerUp reports it), rtx-4090-985mv-2800mhz (Level1Techs forum), rx-9070-xt-red-devil-neg170mv-110pt (Der8auer, as Tom's Hardware tabulates it) and rx-9070-neg125mv-plus10pl-performance (Alva Jonathan, as Tom's Hardware and Club386 report it). Re-based rx-7900-xtx-1100mv-max on the Topaz forum report and re-sourced rx-9070-neg100mv-30pl-efficiency to Club386 with Notebookcheck second. Every row now gives the source's stock and tuned figures from one workload, its author and date, and a verbatim passage. The contact address is now contact@techfuelhq.com.

September 8, 2026: removed outcome estimates from five setting rows and clarified the RTX 5070 Ti benchmark and the RX 9070 loss. The README's former "eight tested configurations" framing and "no account" contribution instruction were also corrected.
