Did I Damage My Gpu
Did I Damage My Gpu
So I recently overclocked my GTX 1080 and tried to play Squad. When trying to join a server, it said I ran out of memory. I decided to revert to my default overclock settings: +102 on main clock, +260 on memory clock, power at 121. After switching back to the new settings—+150 main, +300 memory, +10 voltage—I thought it might have caused damage since I had those previous configurations working fine. In contrast, with the other settings, the game ran smoothly without any memory warnings.
Andreigamerul734 shared his experience after overclocking his GTX 1080. He faced memory issues when trying to play Squad online, leading him to revert to default settings. He detailed his previous overclock configuration and noted that using the new settings caused damage to his card. He also mentioned that other configurations worked without memory errors.
Yes, you can harm your GPU by overclocking with those settings. Of course it's possible! The main issue often comes from a single memory chip that isn't fully protected by a thermal pad. If you're using MSI Afterburner to boost the card, revert it to the default configuration and observe the results?
It seems unclear why you're pushing the GPU to such extremes with a 1080 GTX card—your system has twice the memory capacity the game actually needs. Also, you haven't shared any temperature readings, which are important to check.
Andreigamerul734 recently adjusted the overclock of their GTX 1080 and encountered an issue while trying to join a server. They reported running out of memory, so they switched back to their default settings (+102 on main clock, +260 on memory clock), set power at 121, and then reverted to another configuration (+150 main, +300 memory, +10 voltage). They believe these changes might have damaged the card, as they could play the game normally under different settings without any memory warnings.
