Hi everyone. I own an AMD Sapphire R9 270x with 4GB RAM and have attempted to overclock it to boost gaming performance. Even minor adjustments to the power limit result in crashes while playing games. I've tried using MSI Afterburner, AMD TRIX, and other tools, but the issue persists. Please help is greatly appreciated.

Gpu and cpu are similar to the lotto; some will overclock a lot while others won’t. Your card might already be at its limit, so just removing the heatsink and fan, and applying new thermal paste from a good brand, won’t help much.
