Gtx 670 2gb Windforce Overclock

[Dirk Diggler]

I have been messing with overclock on my gtx 670 using evga precision x, and have settled on the following settings which have proved stable in Skyrim, Arkham Origins and usual benchmark tools...

Power target... 112
GPU clock offset... +101
Mem clock offset... +525
Voltage... 1150mV

I'm new to this, so would like to ask, are these values pretty standard for this card in an overclock? Will this oc give me a worthwhile performance boost? Will those oc risk my card in any way?

With the custom fan curve I have set, my card has never been above 70 degrees.

Thanks.

Looks pretty good, what was the stock core boost, and what does it hit with the oc in place?

In stock settings Gpu-z shows max core clock as 1175 and mem clock as 1502 at 94% Gpu load. Max temp was 58 degrees.

With Oc it was 1267 core clock, 1761 mem clock and temp hit 60 degrees.

Those results tell me performance has increased, but I'm not experienced enough to know if that increase is worth running the overclock. Hope that makes sense.

Anything over 1200mhz core is pretty good on theese cards. Temps are very good too. With the pair i have, one will do +120/+760 game stable, the other hits +80/+600. Run them both at the lower clocks in benchmarks and stock in games.

If you do try to go higher, work on the core first. Test with benchmarks/games. If you get driver crashes back it down to the last stable level. For memory, repeat testing with games, if you start to see artifacts in games etc drop the memory back again.

Thanks, I'll continue the fiddling but your last post there pretty much confirms to me that I've reached a decent overclock without pushing too hard!

I have same card and mine only does 65 on gpu and 350 on mem boosts to 1175

At least you have what seems so far to be a known stable base to work from. And plenty of headroom temp wise.

Yep, unfortunately it's purely luck of the draw. Id have liked another one that was as good as my original. Didnt work out that way though. Tbf though, at stock they run anything im playing with ease.

Really want another 670 WF for sli but seems no one is selling, at a decent price anyway

You could add in any other 670. Theyre actually not ideal cards for sli due to the non reference coolers. The top card will run quite a bit higher than the lower one. Especially when compared to reference blower style cards in sli. Mine max at 71 and 55c playing bf3.
