Gigabyte 2060 Super 8gb

K, so I did not get this card with the intention of OCing it.  But I've got a history (25 years or so) of OCing my home PC's CPUs (on air or water: no LN).  And so when I did try out Afterburner on this card I was stunned to find out how throttled it is (by Voltage, apparently).  And a few years later it still nags at my "what can it really do?" mindset.

I was looking into the EVC2, but hit a knowledge barrier with regards to this card.  I am not sure an EVC2 would even be worth trying on this one.  And to be clear:  I am not trying to achieve any records!  I just want to know what it can really do (if not limited by Voltage)!

It appears to have three VRs.  I assume the uP9512R is for the GPU.  And that is what I would want to STOP THE LIMITING on.

Any advice would be appreciated!

From what I have been able to learn elsewhere it would appear that an EVC2 would be useless in this case.  And in researching the uP9512R (no documentation available) it looks like it has the same pinout as the 9511 (documented).  And that the signaled output Voltage is ultimately defined by the Voltage out of pin #40 (refadj) that is being fed into pin #1 (refin).  And so two questions:

  1.  Does refadj=the output voltage signal 1:1?  Or are there some other factors involved?
  2.  Does breaking the signal between refadj and refin immediately brick the card if no other input V is supplied to refin?

Sorry if these are dumb questions.  I'm obviously very ignorant about this subject matter.
