taking my 980 ti further
taking my 980 ti further
I'm attempting to push the Gigabyte 980 Ti Gaming G1 overclock. I've set the power limit to 130% and temperature to 91°C, with a core clock of plus 90MHz. It struggles beyond plus 100MHz but remains stable at plus 90MHz, while the memory clock stays at its default. What should I do next to further enhance the overclock?
The only way forward is to raise the voltage, since increasing the clock speed is no longer feasible. I plan to add 10mW increments gradually. Continue this until the output becomes steady at +100MHz, then proceed to adjust the frequency and then the voltage until each change stabilizes. Be sure to monitor temperatures throughout the process.

My temperatures are fine. The highest temperature reached during a 20-minute run was 67°C. It seems normal for the boost clock speed to rise slightly when you increase voltage. Regarding memory clock, once your core clock and voltage are stable, you can begin adjusting the memory clock settings.
Don't stress about the memory until you reach the highest OC on the core, which will provide the biggest performance improvements.

Uncertain about the clocks rising after the voltage bump, probably because the card recognized its increased stability and could raise clocks further, possibly part of boost 2.0?
