Discussing the process of enhancing the Gigabyte GTX 970 at 1253 MHz overclocking
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to figure out how to push this overclocked GPU even more. I understand it's doable to bring the 970 up to nearly full speed with a stock 980. Right now, Gigabyte's OC for the 970 is set at BASE: 1114 MHz / BOOST: 1253 MHz and 7010 mhz memory clock (not G1). I searched online for overclocking tips but only found info for the G1. I'm not familiar with overclocking yet, so I need specific details like Core Voltage, Power Limit, Core Clock, Memory Clock, and Fan Speed using MSI afterburner. Can anyone help?
It's quite straightforward using Nvidia's Maxwell architecture. Just raise the power limit to 115% and boost the clockspeed by 20 until artifacts appear (red or white pixels shouldn't show) or crashes occur (I use the heaven benchmark 4.0 for testing). After reaching your maximum clockspeed, repeat the steps with your memory clock.
