I ran benchmarks in a bunch of games (Tomb Raider, Metro Last Light, ect.) a few times and recorded the results. Only odd thing I noticed is that my performance, across a bunch of games, is noticeably lower than it was when I got the card. I assume this is an error on GPU-Z's part, or nothing to worry about? 110% Power Limit, although GPU-Z shows 111.8%. I was only able to reach +1436 on the Core clock and +1927 on the Memory ~(which is 7708)Īlso I don't think your temps will go over 67c so even at max load your fan speed may only be at 50%. If you want to see your max values, download GPU-Z, click on the sensors tab and set each value to show highest reading while running the benchmarks and/or gaming. Maybe start off with going +120 on the Core Clock / +350 on the Memory Clock and if everything remains stable, bump them up incrementally.ĭon't be disappointed if you don't reach the 1500/8000 level, while it may be true for a lot of people it's not true for everyone. Usually you'll see artifacting if the memory clock is set too high. Example: I thought I was stable because I wasn't crashing or artifacting in the benchmarks but every time about 1/2 hour or so into BF4 I would crash with the "directx function getdeviceremovedreason" error which was due to unstableness caused from too high of a core overclock. Use the Heaven and Valley benchmarks along with games you play to test for stability.

Now you can either increase both the Core Clock & Memory Clock at the same time or do them individually and test each iteration. If you use MSI Afterburner start off with changing the Power Limit (%) to 110. That is definitely not true for everyone's cards.
