OC limit GTX 1070
OC limit GTX 1070
I'm working on an OC for my MSI aero GTX 1070 with afterburner and have reached 2012 MHz without extra voltage, keeping temps between 73-75 depending on the game. I have an i5-6600K at 4.4 GHz. I'm asking if it's safe to keep increasing the frequency further. I'm not seeing much performance gain and running games like Battlefield and Total War Warhammer at full settings is causing issues. Any suggestions would be helpful.
I would search online for that particular card and observe what others have accomplished with it, then design your OC accordingly (testing its stability clearly). If you're using MSI afterburner, it will be quite challenging to harm your card, though don't go overboard. Just continue increasing the clock speed/memory clock until you notice any artifacts or crashes, and monitor temperatures to avoid thermal throttling. You might also tweak the voltage, but be aware this could raise temperatures even more.

Really? What the hell? Yeah, honestly I think GPUs are rigged. My machine is some kind of alien tech, and I consistently see around 7fps boost after overclocking. It seems like they design it that way to force cooling fans to run constantly, keeping water cooling solutions in business.
