GTX970 overclocking details
Hey there!
I recently tried overclocking my GTX970 with MSI Afterburner. Not having much experience, I followed a YouTube tutorial to help me plan the process.
After watching the video, I increased the power limit to 120% from 100%, which raised the core clock from +0MHz to +200MHz and the memory clock to +350MHz.
This adjustment allowed me to run most games smoothly, though I noticed some crashes and a few driver errors.
It makes me think my current settings might still be too high. I’m wondering which parameters should I tweak to get better results.
My CPU is an Intel Core i5-3570k at 3.4GHz and isn’t overclocked, but I enabled "Performance Mode" in the BIOS—this part is unclear.
I also don’t know much about my PSU or motherboard type, since I’m not sure how to check those without opening the PC.
Win 10 and 8 gigabytes of RAM are installed.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Add some voltage or lower the core clock. Also...just a note...your offsets are based on the standard 3D clock for your card. Without knowing which card you're using or the actual overclock speed, it might seem like you were just guessing, but we still got similar data.
Add some voltage or lower the core clock. Also... FYI... Your offsets are based on the base 3D clock for your card, so without knowing which card you have or the actual MHZ of the overclock, it might seem like you were just fishing instead of really overclocking. It gave us roughly the same amount of information.
