Nvidia have removed software voltage control from their newer GPUs... but we can get it back!

    Maybe this is the kind of performance that EA was expecting for the PC port of Jedi Survivor
  • @Ellipsis115
    16:14 Win+Ctrl+Shift+B Thank you! Just wonder how you find more of these shortcuts.
  • @Devestatix
    14:11 "Lets just give this a tiny bit more" increases voltage by almost 40%
  • @Oweblow
    This entire experiment was like firing gunshots at a puddle of gasoline.
  • GPU Twerk is the only graphics card tuning software I want on my system.
  • @ruediix
    I'm revisiting this video 3 months later, and I have to say it is one of my all time favorite. Do more crazy stuff like this.
  • @mu4784
    11:20 omg I love this directing, the camera movement is comedy perfection and feels so good! I just love the composition
  • Alex has the best job in LTT. He makes crazy projects, enjoys in them and plays with interesting tech
  • @alekzynot1678
    I love the videos where its just Alex and Linus. Absolute chaos.
  • @NickkAtNyte
    I love the Alex and Linus videos like this because they take all those weird late night/shower ideas and actually do them.
  • @Tim3ru
    Super mega like you listened to my comment(and probably others) and went JBC with the soldering station! Regarding the discrepancy in voltage readings between what the card reports and the multimeter reading (at specific TestPoints, measurement in these conditions is location dependent, best location might be on the small center SMD ceramic caps behind the GPU, closest to the load), is because of the high current draw of the GPU and voltage drop in distribution to the load (GPU Core). @ 600[W] with 1.1[Vcore], current draw would be a whopping 545[A]+ (0.75[V]->800[A] if that was Vcore)... Congrats! Always wanted to do that, amazing it held up so well! Keep 'em rollin' and much success with the LAB!
  • @Snowpanel
    Fun fact: it is said that if you try this mod at home, the warranty card for your GPU spontaneously combusts.
  • @Bay-Raker
    I love all the Linus and Alex videos where the whole idea is "we shouldn't do this. It's insane and kinda dumb. But let's do it anyway and take it to 1000%."
  • @navsigda4030
    Everything from production quality to the ingenuity behind creating solutions as you go is why I'm subbed to LTT. I couldn't care much for a "new" laptop with x and y now available, but waking up the techie at heart in me makes me think my 1080Ti might still have more to offer with ideas like these
  • @zeekjones1
    I love how they are building a high tech lab, yet they do sketch experiments still.
  • "Omg that's your notes for this video?" Is such a strong start for an LTT video 🤣
  • @humane123
    7:37 Maybe I am weird but Linus' smile was so blissful at this point. It made me smile.
  • @psychorabbitt
    Alex is proof that the more highly trained you are, the more chaotic your work is.
