Terrible Over clock GTX 980
Terrible Over clock GTX 980
For an average OC paired with most modern graphics cards, expect a boost of 50Mhz in the GPU clock and 100MHz in the memory clock. To achieve this properly, increment by 10MHz until the driver fails, then adjust to 10Mhz below the crash point, and finally verify using tools like OCCT or similar.
Hello again, this is Harvey the beginner... I'm struggling to even increase my GPU clock by 30MHz. It will run for about an hour or two before the driver crashes. The temperatures are normal, so it shouldn't be affecting power limits if I'm boosting it that much. Am I doing something wrong, or is it the card itself?
It's your card, you did fine.
In the world of silicone chips, each one is unique. There are no identical chips—even two GTX 970 models have different chips inside, despite sharing the same architecture, design, size, and build. Each chip has its own capabilities.
For instance, one GTX 970 can be clocked at 100Mhz higher than another, which might barely reach 10Mhz more. It's like a lottery.
