Game stutters after OC
Game stutters after OC
Hi
I tried overclocking my GT 610 to 970 cores and 670 memory, and everything worked fine for 40 minutes without crashes. I played CS:GO yesterday and today it ran smoothly, though in my last match I noticed some stutters of about two seconds each.
What should I do? Should I lower the core count or memory first, or both?
Thanks!
the stability of an overclocked card depends on having no artifacts, no image defects, no unusual stuttering, no strange colors, and no abrupt crashes or restarts of the GPU or PC.
if you can keep it running smoothly for hours without problems, issues, or temperature concerns, it’s a sign of a stable overclock.
remember that adjusting a GPU’s settings is like giving it a temporary command; if you change it, the changes disappear when you restart unless you use MSI Afterburner to save the settings on a profile and apply them at startup.
overclocking is essentially a software instruction telling a component to make itself faster, but if the instructions are incorrect, the device may reject them.
Overclocking with MSI Afterburner? How is the CPU handling? That game and the GPU together seem like a bad mix—you'll need at least a GT 730. The 610 model is better for watching bluray movies and burning files using overclocking as you're doing now.
discussing overclocking with MSI afterburner? How is the CPU handling? The game and GPU together seem problematic; you’d need at least a GT730. For streaming bluray videos and burning discs using overclocking, it’s better to use a GT610. The load is around 95%, and I’ve used MSI afterburner. The game runs smoothly at about 70 FPS, with temperatures staying below 70°C. It’s a poor setup, but I still want to play games. I’m looking for a job and need advice—should I lower the core count, use memory optimization, or both?
don't push it too much, i'd gently touch both cores and memory in small adjustments and check with benchmarks and games, making tiny changes to locate the stable range, i'd try 20 mhz each time, any lower than what you currently have, particularly on the core. is this a fanless model?
the best approach seems to be medium settings at 1600x900, which is quite demanding for this card—don't expect it to be a gaming GPU, so give it some patience.

The best approach seems to be sticking with medium settings around 1600x900, which is quite demanding for this card. Since it's not a gaming GPU, you should be patient.
Should I overclock it again from scratch? why would that help? i suggest testing in small increments of 20 MHz and see how it performs. It has a fan, it's the 2GB version. Thanks for your help, but are there other options?

I lowered both core and memory by 5 mhz and there’s no stuttering now. Is the stability confirmed? Why does my GPU still seem unstable after running Heaven for 40 minutes without crashing? It’s confusing.

keep in mind that adjusting the GPU beyond its limits is only a temporary fix; after a restart, unless you use MSI Afterburner to save the settings on a profile and apply them at startup, those changes will disappear.
overclocking essentially instructs a component to make minor adjustments for better performance.
if the settings you applied are incorrect, the device may reject them, leading to poor performance or sudden failures.
you’ll need to experiment with different values to discover the optimal balance, observing slight improvements in GPU core and RAM speed to determine when overclocking becomes stable and safe.

remember that changing settings temporarily works only until you restart; to keep them, use MSI Afterburner and save the profile.

thanks a lot for your help! I’m really happy it works smoothly and stays stable. great performance at around 70°C during load.
How impressive are the enhancements, before applying the overclock and after?
