Aorus GeForce GTX 1080 Ti 11GB Overclocking

The card's power limit can be increased to a whopping 150 percent - Aorus says it is capable of using the full power headroom available via the 8-pin/8-pin combination, which is 375W when the PCI-E slot is counted as well. Meanwhile, the temperature limit peaks at 90°C. We set both settings to the maximum values and proceeded with overclocking.

In the end, we could only increase the base clock by 20MHz. This sounds low, and it is, but the additional power limit itself was netting us over 100MHz of additional boost. Prior to overclocking, we were seeing a peak boost speed of 1,822MHz, but with the power limit unleashed and our 20MHz increase applied, this was sitting at a stable 1,974MHz – the base clock may only have gone up by one percent, but the card was running eight percent faster, which is a decent result. The Aorus Graphics Engine software did allow us to move a voltage slider, but it appeared to have no impact and didn't net us any higher speeds.

The memory was stable up to 12Gbps, which is a nine percent improvement on the stock speed of 11Gbps.
