Various Titles React Uniquely to Enhance Performance
Various Titles React Uniquely to Enhance Performance
Hello everyone. I've been adjusting the clock speed and reached a steady +170 MHz on my GTX 970. It's been consistent except during Fallout 4, where it sometimes crashes. The crash frequency drops as I lower the overclock. At +140 MHz I haven't seen any issues yet. My question is whether different games react differently to the same overclock settings—something that seems to be happening to me. Thanks!
The CPU becomes unstable due to an overclock because a certain component can't handle the increased speed. This means one instruction will fail while others continue working. If a game relies heavily on that instruction, it will crash; if not, it may run smoothly. This explains why different programs respond differently to the same overclock.
