The system prevents you from overclocking your GPU due to stability concerns or hardware limitations.
I own an MSI AMD R9 390x that's still very recent, and I recently attempted some overclocking using Afterburner. I went through all the instructions carefully, but my GPU seems to be struggling. I'm not seeing any improvement of 40/10 without artifacts appearing while playing games. It's interesting because my temperatures are normal, but I keep encountering artifacts. My GPU temperature stays around 40-50 when idle or running at max settings in Battlefield 4 with 1440p, whereas it drops to a low of about 70-80 during gameplay. What could possibly be causing this issue?
Not all GPUs handle overclocking equally. Many online videos focus on specific chips, and what you can achieve depends only on the capabilities of your hardware. When artifacts appear, it means you've hit a limit with that particular card. This is similar to what occurs when trying to boost your CPU's performance—some CPUs of a certain type will reach extreme speeds, but others of the same model won't match them. Each silicon component reacts differently to overclocking. Don't expect to replicate the results seen in videos; matching those outcomes is rare and luckier than it seems.
The method doesn't address the artifacts problem because it functions similarly to Afterburner, but you can't adjust the voltage in Crimson.

Not all GPUs handle overclocking equally. Many online videos use carefully selected chips, and you're limited by what your specific GPU allows. When artifacts appear, it means you've hit a ceiling with that card. This is similar to what happens when trying to boost your CPU's performance—some CPUs of the same model can reach extreme speeds, but others won't match them. Each chip reacts differently to overclocking. Don't expect to replicate those results; doing so would be quite fortunate if you manage it. Thank you for your feedback and support, Mark.
