Gtx 970 ftw+ overclock
Gtx 970 ftw+ overclock
How would you proceed to overclock your Evga gtx 970 ftw+? I understand that different GPUs handle overclocking in various ways, but I’m unsure about the best safe and stable settings for your ftw+. I hope you can assist me.
I own the EVGA GTX 970 SSC and run MSi Afterburner. After launching it, I select the default profile and then configure the core clock and memory clock in 25 increments. Using HWINFO to track my GPU temperature, I also tweak the fan speed via MSI Afterburner. The default settings keep the temperature mild, but at full load I reach 1400Mhz for the GPU clock and 1800Mhz for memory clock. I adjust the fan to three presets: 20/20, 30/45, 60/70 and 100/80, which correspond to fan percentages relative to the GPU temperature. At 72°C I believe I could go further, and in the future I might try it with a different card, given my current GPU specs of 1100/1600Mhz per core and memory. The advantage of MSI Afterburner is that it allows fine control over these parameters.

The default settings from EVGA are gentle, but at full usage I reach 1400Mhz for the GPU clock and 1800Mhz for memory clock. I set the fan to three presets: 20/20, 30/45, 60/70 and 100/80, which correspond to fan percentages relative to the GPU temperature. At 72°C I believe I could go further, and later I might try it again with a lower overclock on my card, given its default speeds of 1100/1600Mhz for core and memory. The advantage of MSI Afterburner is that if the card fails, the monitor goes black, waits a moment, then restores to profile 1 using the defaults, everything returning to where it started. Then I retry with a slightly reduced overclock on the card.
