Maximum overclocking for the R9 295x2?
Maximum overclocking for the R9 295x2?
What is the highest speed you've achieved with this card online, considering a 1080mhz core and 1500mhz memory? If you aim for an overclock to 1100mhz core and 1700mhz memory, would you need to raise the power limit by 50% compared to the original specifications?
you can achieve voltage control using a custom BIOS. however, i think a standard liquid cooler paired with a standard BIOS might only offer a modest increase of around 100mhz in core frequency. personally, if i had a 295x2 processor, i’d prefer the stock configuration and adjust the fan curve to suit my needs.
Every card is unique, and there are various cooling options available such as air, water, or LN2. I wouldn’t suggest looking up the highest overclock online and setting your card to that value, as it could cause failure. You should follow the specific instructions to determine the optimal performance for your card. Begin with the standard model, increase the core frequency by 5Mhz, test, and repeat until it stops working. Gradually raise the voltage until the card becomes too hot or fails the test. Return everything to its original settings and continue adjusting for memory, aiming for the best possible configuration. This process helped me with both my 480 and 580 cards, using an Excel sheet to track driver changes. Some updates let you achieve higher core speeds with slightly lower memory, improving benchmark results. Sometimes a modest reduction in speed can actually improve performance by preventing the card from overheating.

several articles mention that power should be increased to 150% (or 50% more with crimson software). the core clock can easily reach up to 1100 with the stock voltage (up from 1018, which is an 8% rise). avoid increasing the voltage, as it may cause throttling. memory capacity can be boosted to 1.6ghz (up from 1250mhz, about a 22% increase) – effective up to 6ghz from 5ghz. unclear what these numbers mean, but that’s the general idea.
Sure, I'll try that suggestion you mentioned. So far, even the stock market is in trouble for Black Ops 3, but it's just a game problem, and I'm not too worried about it.
brendan Miron tried the suggestion you gave, but so far everything is broken for black ops 3—it's just a game issue. I'm not too worried. I still get around 30fps at 4k on my TV, which runs 1080p at 120hz, and I’m getting 120fps with medium or high settings, nothing maxed out. I adjusted my field of view to 100 in game settings. It’s odd, GTA V 4k at 30hz looks normal to me, but BO3 4k at 30hz seems like a slideshow. club-3d.com just dropped their mini dp to HDMI 2.0 adapter, and I’m hoping it arrives in America so I can check if I can hit 4k 60fps from BO3.
