I had no idea Nvidia could even use the DDR4 core revision to drive the GDDR5 card. However, when I cleaned off the old paste from MY card, my die was clearly marked GP108-310-A1, the core revision used for the horrendous DDR4 version of the card ( ). The core revision for the GDDR5 version of the card is supposed to be GP108-300-A1 (as can be seen in the previous link). Jump to a few days later, I decide to repaste the card in an attempt to bring down the temps a little, when I find something a little odd. I thought this was a bit strange but didn't pay it much attention. However I could barely touch the memory clocks before I would get horrible artifacting/crashes. Ended up getting the boost clock up to a decent 1917Mhz at +100 core voltage with MSI Afterburner + voltage unlock. ![]() ![]() This is the exact card I bought: ( ) Quite pleased with the performance I was getting out of this little 30w card, I decided to go ahead and attempt an overvolt/overclock to see how far I could push it (cuz, y'know, pursuit of performance ). I recently picked up a cheap MSI GT 1030 (GDDR5) for use in a little HTPC box i've been working on. Hey all, been some time since I've posted on here but I wanted to show y'all something I found a little bit interesting/concerning.
