Hello, I'm checking if the GPU is a good overclocker for this MSI HD 7970 lightening board. Here are the specs:
Stock
Core is 1150
Memory is 1500
My OC
Core is 1220
Memory is 1740
No voltage changes and temperatures stay below 70°C during Rise of Tomb Raider, but after playing NFS 2012 Most Wanted Ultra for over 50 minutes it gets artifacts at around 77°C. What's going on and what are your 7970 OC scores? Cheers

It all depends on the specific card you receive; some have experienced favorable outcomes, while others haven't been as successful. It's similar to a silicon lottery with CPUs, but here it's the individual GPU chip included with the card.
