Increased overclocking capacity for NVIDIA GeForce RTX thanks to new enhanced VRM phases

Thanks to a new power phase system, the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX have a higher overclocking capacity.

The new NVIDIA graphics cards implement technological innovations such as Ray Tracing through RT Cores, Tensor Cores for Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) and the implementation of NVLink, leaving the obsolete SLI bridge completely behind. It seems that they are not the only noticeable improvements and it is that NVIDIA seems to have developed GPUs capable of supporting overclocking without major problems.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX specially designed for overclocking.

According to the company itself, the new GeForce RTX graphics have been specially developed to support a good dose of overclocking by designing a system with improved power phases that offer more stability. The renewed power stages allow voltages with less noise and therefore with more voltage stability that allow raising the TDP of these new graphics cards. NVIDIA says that for Turing the limit is 55W with respect to nominal value while the automatic overclocking limit for a GTX 1080 is around 20W.

The company not only highlights the point of improvement in the power phases, they also wanted to highlight the implementation of the new Founders Edition heatsink that greatly improves the heatsink capacity. Specifically, the company says that this heatsink should be about five times quieter than the previous model based on a blower fan and the GPU should be between 15-20 degrees cooler than the previous generation.

We had data that the newer Turing RTXs had the ability to hit 2.0GHz with the dual-fan Founders Edition heatsink, but this data would reinforce this unprecedented capability. Reducing the noise in the power phases (having a more linear direct voltage) allows to reduce the heat and avoid jumps in the voltage that can cause that not enough voltage arrives and the system restarts.
