OC GPU - Review vs Me
OC GPU - Review vs Me
Hello All,
I'm using an old HIS HD7870 Ice Q X Turbo X with the stock clock at memory settings of 1100mhz Core and 1200 (4.8) Memory.
In my GPU review I found they can reach up to 1200+ Core and 1400+ Memory.
No matter the driver I use, the highest stable I get is around 1170 Core and 1350 Memory before crashes or artifacts appear. Also, I'm running at 1.3v, so increasing the voltage seems unnecessary according to the review.

I'm curious if this is due to differences between cards?
This isn't the most useful thing I could find, but it might be what I discovered that could assist.
It appears there are no dedicated programs or tools meant to detect microstutter. That makes sense because all calculations happen within the CPU, and its clock speeds differ, making it hard to confirm whether microstutter exists or if the program misinterpreted frame data due to the CPU being occupied by the game.
Does that clarify things? I wasn't entirely sure how to express it.
I get it, but putting it into words is challenging.
No two CPUs, GPUs, or SoCs ever exceed the same limit. You might reach 1170, another person could hit 1130, and the next might achieve 1500. There are methods to successfully overclock, but the actual performance is still constrained by the silicon itself.
So I should be content with whatever I accomplish. Anyone who has overclocked GPUs can tell me when the limit is reached.
Occasionally I see small improvements and it wonāt cause crashes or artifacts, but (I HAVE OCD) I notice tiny glitches in-game. I ask a friend to watch, but they canāt see them. Still, I feel like itās not working properly, even though thereās no actual crash.
Microstutter may damage the gaming experience, yet it often goes unnoticed by newcomers. This implies it likely is occurring and your companion doesn't realize it because they haven't felt the difference when it wasn't present, so they lack a reference for how smooth it once was.
I share the same view as the above poster. The goal of overclocking is to experience things more quickly, without introducing other problems that cause frustration. Even if your friend can't notice the issue, you can. It's your system. Reduce the clock speed until that micro stuttering stops.
