GPU crashes after 2 hours
GPU crashes after 2 hours
Hey everyone... I'm using a Palit GTX 750 Ti with dual GPUs and I'm trying to overclock it. This is my first attempt at GPU overclocking. My goal is to see how high the memory clock can go—just increasing it by 10 MHz each time. I'll run the MSI Kombuster "furmark stress test" for three hours, and after two hours, when it crashes, I want to know if a 60 MHz stable is realistic. What do you all think?
I believe you're investing too much time into a loss cause, though... I think it's valuable for gaining experience if you're serious about it. The best approach seems to be adjusting the speed while playing, depending on the game you choose. Some games are more sensitive and need careful tuning, like Forza Horizon 3, which is why I have a specific setup for it since it tends to crash at higher settings. Benchmarks are just that—benchmarks. The real test comes when you decide to push your system overclocking. But I'm skeptical about how much improvement this will bring. Your cards are outdated and low-end, around the 700 series.
I assume that at the lower OCs, the test remains functional after 3 hours. If that's the case, I'd say +60MHz is "iffy" regarding stability.
You might want to try a lower frequency, like +55MHz, to see if it works for longer. After confirming stability at +55MHz, increase it by 1MHz incrementally until you encounter issues. If +55MHz fails, return to +50MHz and adjust gradually.
