overclocking issue with GPU
I'm having trouble with overclocking the GTX 980ti.
The GPU clock speed I can reach is only +80, and memory +520.
Also, I'm wondering if the power supply might be limiting me to higher overclocks.
Your board specifications were published prior to the GTX according to my search, with the board released in 2012 and the GPU in 2015, indicating it was built before the 250W GPU era arrived. This means you're risking a significant gap between its capabilities and the new standards.
Guru3D suggests using a GeForce GTX 980 Ti with a 600 Watts power supply for average systems. For SLI configurations, a 900 Watts unit is recommended as a minimum. The forum discussion notes that while these PSUs meet the wattage needs, they may not be of high quality. A more reliable option would be a 750W unit for better performance. The current price of an Evga Supernova 650 has risen to around £90. It's advised against overclocking, especially since you're not fully informed about your system and haven't shared your specifications. Overclocking carries risks, as some users have experienced hardware failure.
