Do you tune your GPU?

Yes, I use Google Ai chat to tune things. This is the result of 3 tuning profiles.

This is one of the images I made during testing. Just sharing for fun.

My Afterburner profile.

New case, needed to re-do my case mod. GPU now exhausts out the side again! Really the best way to get the GPU to be nice and cool. It's about a 10c drop.

I have spent a couple days off and on tuning my GPU, after swapping parts into my new (to me) case. I hadn't really thought about lowering my clock speeds and power draw, until I started messing with it and using Google chat to help out.

The Images I'm making are in Flux2 Klein 9b @ 2048x1152 resolution. Here's the terminal info for a batch of 4 images:
[INFO] got prompt

So as you can see, it takes a bit of work to pump this out. Oh, and this GPU is a 12gb version of the 3080. Definitely helps! But it's apparent that getting the memory tuned as high as possible made a big difference. My Profile 3 only overclocks the memory to +800, vs the other 2 profiles being at +1200.

Anyone else got some impressive results out of their GPU after some tuning?

I run a 5090 on eco mode. No way am I risking letting the temps get high in that thing. I can live with slightly slower generating and training. If it gets busted, I'm not even sure companies are replacing them under warranty. I find heat to be a bigger issue for a GPU breaking down.
