Hey everyone, just went from a GTX 960 FTW edition to a 970 SSC and did some regular and OC benchmarks today. I managed a stable OC with precision X at +155 core clock and +170 on memory, achieving around 1548mhz for Valley Benchmark. After finding the right OC, it held up during the benchmark but crashed when I tried ESO. Restarted and lowered the settings, but it kept freezing even at +75. Not sure what’s happening, any advice would be great. Usually I don’t run into issues and rely on these forums for help (just search and read), but this is my first post. Thanks for your support!

Thanks, CS:GO played well, the first Bioshock was also quite choppy. I'm planning to run MGS:5 on stock as well as OC. I understand the SSC will handle anything stock fine, but what's the point of that?
As I mentioned before, many games don't appreciate overclocks. For instance, I've boosted my R9 270 and GTA V tends to crash often at 1150MHz core clock, while Witcher 3 works without issues at 1145MHz. Likewise, Fallout 4 really dislikes graphics card overclocks.

Hey everyone, I recently switched from a GTX 960 to a 970 SSC and did some regular benchmarks. I managed a stable OC with precision X at +155 core clock and +170 memory, achieving around 1548mhz on Valley Benchmark. After finding the right settings, it worked for the benchmark but crashed when I tried ESO. Restarted and adjusted levels, but it kept freezing even at +75. Uncertain what’s causing this. Any suggestions would be great. Usually I rely on these forums for advice, but this is my first post. Thanks for your help!

Thanks, CS:GO ran fine, the first Bioshock ran very choppy as well. About to run MGS:5 on stock as well as OC. I know the SSC will run anything stock fine, but whats the fun in that.
