Egads, overclocking Ampere?

You're better off putting a tremolo bar on a tuba.

I do agree that modern components are not really OC friendly in a sense that they are usually already pushed to the max. But on the other hand i yet have to see an ampere card that cant do +1000 on the memory rock stable.

Why?

Providing a bit more power to them via GeForce Experience seems like it helps particularly the 3090 but I don't know how well a manual overclock would work compared to just letting the boost algorithm scale it within it's various parameters although the memory states could be a bit more flexible if it's about these.

Not much of a overclock though it's just adding a bit extra for the GPU to utilize before it throttles compared to modifying voltages or the clock speed or curvature for it I think is how it works now.

As for memory flexibility well sorta, might be a bit of a range on them like on AMD as well with error correction kicking in so it runs all the way up to near maximum without artifacts but the ECC makes for limited or reduced performance gains and scaling it back instead is more gainful.
Not sure how sensitive Ampere and GDDR6X is though AMD RDNA1 was fairly sensitive and RDNA2 while a bit better is both locked at a fairly low maximum and tends to hit ECC early on so testing is needed to confirm if it really works or not.

EDIT: Actually was there even any data on that I think Micron had something like ECC but not quite the same but the available info was more limited from what I remember of trying to look it up at least.

EDIT: Forward Error Correction.

I'll better wait for the next WHQL one, the past couple drivers since december did all not fix my issues with stuttering/microfreezing several programs while opening or closing them. Also opening NVCP or Windows Display settings caused a small lag/freeze also. The past 3 drivers messed up my monitor too, sometimes upon boot it switches randomly from RGB to YCBRxxx and requires to change it in NVCP back, but it doesn't change until another reboot and changing it again from YCBRxxx to RGB to finally stick. This drives me mad for weeks now. Only happens when games force fullscreen or some random spastics when you run the game in borderless but it still goes from windowed to fullscreen to your settings (Star Wars Battlefront 2 2017) while booting up....had the same issue with BF V, but only on one monitor with my 3 monitor config. Now it happens on all 3 monitors whenever i boot up a game all 3 monitors flicker/turn black and mess with my desktop icons until the game really started and wents to borderless. I think it's the games fault tho.
