Less fps after OCing gtx 970
Less fps after OCing gtx 970
I mentioned I discovered some NVidia drivers that restrict overclocking quite a bit. It's possible they aren't related to your tweaks on the card. Good luck!
Works well with my OC profiles for the 980ti

What are your highest overclock settings? Are you experiencing overvoltage? If you exceed the safe limits without adjusting, performance might drop. This can lead to instability.
What are your maximum overclock settings? Are you applying overvoltage? Pushing the card beyond safe limits without compensating can lead to reduced frame rates, which is another kind of instability. I’m trying to extract maximum performance, so yes – I’m using full overvoltage. For the best speeds I can’t pinpoint exactly yet, but with it I achieved around +200 core speed and +500-550 memory speed, without artifacts, though performance was slower than standard clocks.
TechyInAZ is asking about their maximum overclock settings and whether they are using overvoltage. They mention achieving high speeds but experiencing slower performance compared to stock clocks. They are considering adjusting memory settings and clock speeds to see if frame rates improve.
I noticed with my card under various drivers, some like 355.82 performed well and gave good scores, but others used 370.xx and took a hit, just as you mentioned. The stock performed better then when overclocking was applied. For my 900 card, I'm still using 355.82. From what I observed here, it seems some drivers influence the performance, so it might be worth searching for a driver that works best with overclock enabled, though some don't seem to.
What are your maximum overclock speeds? Are you overvolting? Pushing the card beyond safe limits without proper compensation can lead to reduced frame rates, which is another type of instability. I’m trying to extract maximum performance, so yes—I’m overvolting. For the best overclock speeds I can’t pinpoint yet, but with full overvoltage I achieved around +200 for the core and +500-550 for memory without artifacts, though it ran slower than regular clocks. Currently, I set the memory clock to 0 and lower the CPU clock to about +250 with the same overvoltage. Would you recommend setting both core and memory clocks to 0 and then adjusting the memory clock to +250?

I’m trying to extract maximum performance, so I’m using full overvoltage. For the best speeds I can’t pinpoint yet, but with it I achieved around +200 core speed and memory around 500-550 without artifacts—but performance was slower than regular clocks.
Right now, set the memory to 0 and lower the clock to about +250 with the same overvoltage. With this setup, do you see improved FPS compared to stock clocks?
I also tested at 0% overvoltage: both clocks showed 0 core speed and 100% power limit, but results weren’t as strong.
After that, I increased it to +87 overvoltage, +0 core clock, +250 memory with 110% power limit, and the outcomes were:

Your memory appears to be functioning well. Would you like me to try overclocking just the core? When I increased the core clock by +250, it crashed after 30-45 seconds, at +225 it crashed immediately, and at +200 it worked properly. I didn't notice many artifacts, but when I did, none appeared. Here are the results: http://www.part.lt/img/e4d88545cd3791590...b26110.png
