Request for Assistance with GPU Overclocking
Here’s a rewritten version of your text with the same length and structure:
So today, after playing Rise Of The Tomb Raider, I noticed the benchmarks dropped below 60 at times, even reaching high 40s. That prompted me to overclock my GPU so I could maintain a solid 60. However, some aspects have been puzzling me. I’m using MSI Afterburner and MSI Kombuster for overclocking and testing. When I run Kombuster through the Afterburner app, I can boost my core clock to 210 and memory clock to 500. The benchmark runs smoothly with a radar-like effect at 720p resolution, lasting more than ten minutes without issues. I wasn’t tested beyond that time. Running it in Kombuster with the Afterburner app shows a different logo and still works perfectly. The problem arises when I switch to 1080p resolution. At that setting, the app crashes after just two or three minutes, even though my core clock is pushed up to 220. When I open Kombuster via the Afterburner app for the radar benchmark, it crashes every time. The memory clock increase doesn’t seem to help much, though it does show some artifacts in the corner. For the furry version, it still crashes when running at 1080p. In contrast, the radar benchmark works fine even with a higher core clock. Summary: What resolution should I use for Kombuster? Which one do I choose and when do I know I’ve hit my overclocking limit? Thanks for your patience—I just wanted everything clear so no one has to ask simple questions again.
Volkgren:
If it's crashing, lower the volume. The +200 core might be too high based on factory clocks. What model card do you have?
Hey, I just updated my post and thought the earlier one sounded confusing. Also, 200 has been fine for me—I’ve noticed more crashes because of memory clock speed changes rather than core clock. Sorry, I’m new; I don’t understand what you mean by model. It’s an MSI 1060 with 3GB RAM.
200 might work for the GTX 1060. However, if it crashes, it indicates you're pushing too far. Various applications and programs respond differently to overclocking. For example, some games perform well while others struggle. GTAV would have shown significant issues if I had pushed my core to its limit.
Volkgren suggests that +200 might be acceptable for a GTX 1060, but crashes indicate you're pushing too far. Overclocking affects different apps differently; some games run well while others struggle. GTAV would cause significant issues if my core was maxed. He recommends lowering the core clock to 160 and memory to 400 for stability. He also asks about running Kombuster at 720 or 1080 and what each benchmark reveals.
