#Overclocking with evga precision x 970 how to#
I'm not familiar with how to "post a log file" on a forum, so I'll just paste it here. Maxwell LOVES to run cool, so the cooler it is, the more stable it'll be and the higher it'll boost.Here's the GPU-Z LOG I was talking about: OBVIOUSLY, the lower the temps, the better. The selector at the bottom of GPUz will allow you to select which card each window will monitor.ĮDIT: I always advise for people to try to keep their temps lower than 75c. That will be important to dialing in your overclock to work well on both cards. There are ways around the power limits, but.that's a whole different animal. You're at the cards maximum power target, and clocking any higher won't do you any good, because the card will just throttle itself to get itself back under the power limits. VOP, means you need more voltage to go any further. The perf cap performance line will tell you exactly what's capping the performance of the GPU, so you can work around it. Now that you have GPUz downloaded, and the sensors tab open, watch the core clock, memory clock, voltage and pay particular attention to the perf cap performance line.
#Overclocking with evga precision x 970 driver#
That's not likely to give you "game stable" overclocks, as each game is a little bit different, and each driver version even more different, but they'll give a basic understanding of how to fine tune your clocks for the best performance, so you can do it for the games you want to play. Use either Unigine Heaven or 3D Mark Firestrike to put stress on the GPU and test the overclock. SO AS LONG AS YOUR TEMPS ARE GOOD, move the slider all the way up and run with it.Īlso.download GPUz and open the sensors tab. The voltage is locked in the bios to max out at 1.262v.
There's nothing at all in the stock bios that will allow you to harm your card in any way, shape or form. Most SC's are good start with +100 on the core, and +300 on the memory. I guess I'll try keeping memory low and try increments of 10 on the core and see how that goes.
Yep I do understand that not all chips are the same when it comes to overclocking, but what I find weird is that it runs at 100 on the core perfectly fine without changing the power limit and such, but as soon as another 10 is added it just crashes, no matter the power limit. My understanding is that its probably your sample that cant overclock very well, try increasing the voltage a bit more, but dont overdo it. Most of them seem to be able to be successfully stable with +200 on memory, just like you. Other users reported +120 MHZ without overvoltage, +104, etc. These are standard variations from one gpu to another, not all of them will have the same tolerances.Ī quick google search reveals that this card can reach about +150 MHZ base clock, according to techpowerup's sample. The thing is, that not all cards overclock the same, even if you have the exact same card as someone else, their gpu might be better for overclocking than yours. If the core clock cant go higher than +100, then it might need even more voltage (even though it shouldnt).
Ok, like I said, why dont you try running the memory clock at stock?
