msi 660ti 1300mhz core

[imginy]

Acording to msi afterburner my msi 660ti is boosting up to and sitting steady at 1200mhz at stock.
Then when I overclock by +100 the core clock is sitting steady at 1300mhz.

Could this be true or is msi after burner giving me false readings?

After all the reference card is only 970mhz boost so this would be 33% higher?

Here a screen shot

Nice overclock . Yes, the 670s do the same, come in the 900Mhz-1000Mhz range roughly and over clock from very rarely under 1200Mhz, average between 1200-1300Mhz and the better ones 1300Mhz+.

As you are on 1300Mhz, that's regarded as a good overclocker if it can be compared to the GTX 670. There's not enough data to see however. I'd be happy with 1300Mhz . The Windforce x3 I had would only do 1200Mhz and even then sometimes crashed.

Is it game stable?. Benchmarks can sometimes pass but then games will show instability, or vice versa dependant on the game. As long as you can play without it crashing then you're sorted. I could run Heaven but Battlefield 3 would crash to the point I had to Ctrl+Alt+Del several times before I lowered my OC. Good luck and again, congratulations on receiving a good clocking card.

Ok cool thats good news thanks JD

Yes it's stable at 1300mhz (+100) and starts to get unstable at +110

Memory is stable at 7200mhz (+600) and starts to get unstable at +675

Even better if it's stable, decent memory overclock also. Most welcome and enjoy your gaming .

Yes really enjoying the battlefield 3 on pc as I just came over from console and the difference is truely amazing

I went back to console for a few hours and the frame rate was making me feel sick.

That high boost on my card probably explains why it seems a lot of the reviewers are underating my card. The only review place that got same scores as me was tweek town so I guess they must have got a good one as well.

1.3Ghz is a really good overclock!

I couldn't imagine BF3 on a console, gladly you've put me off trying it .

As I said, I couldn't break 1200-1215Mhz recorded in GPU-z with my Windforce 3X 670 so I think you've got a good GPU.

Game review techniques and motives are largely debated now due to user results not reflecting the benchmarks given dependant on the card being reviewed. I tend to read only and don't get involved in the discussion but the common sense approach IMO is to use the reviews as a rough guide as well as come to places like OCUK for user reviews or links to information that's beneficial to us, the consumer, to help make the better choice/'s.
