Yeh probably did after seeing that :eek:, I'm not sure he changed the right settings :p

Back to stock bios and score is back from 6400 (Hard lock) to 6670 same clocks

Really? It's been solid for me, have played BF4, COH2, etc with no crashes at all with various clocks!

Yeh your first bios caused driver crashes in Dying Light, this one gives me brown screens and a huge drop in scores across the range. Wonder if anyone else is willing to test :)

Think I'll stick with the default bios for the time being

Is that for the KFA 980 GTX SOC Gamer that you are using? Are those the default voltages and can they be raised in MSI?

Cheers

I'm not using the SOC Gamer myself Neil just a bios for it with those settings. I'm using the reference one I linked. The voltage is locked to the clocks so you'll not be able to increase it in any further in AB.

Probably best if I upload my bios tomorrow for you, the original back up bios so you can take a look yourself :) Safer to use what came with the card

So, first real play at overclocking since I've got the temps under control. I set the power limit to 110 and tried +140 on the core, no extra volts. Temps for the top card hit 70 whilst the bottom one hit 64. GPUZ log file gave the max boost as 1506? Heaven was free of artefacts and gave me this score: (no idea if that's good or bad)

Perf Cap read SLI VREL and UTIL for the bottom card.

Tried the same with +150 and although it passed Heaven I got a couple of blue pixels in test 18-19.

SO, suggestions on what to do next please gents?
 
does this card have any stuttering on 1440p due to its 256 bit bus? and how would it realistically compare to a r9 290x

cant decide whether to order one or stick to my 290x for a year or so

was eyeing up the evga ftw edition or superclocked edition,

I don't get how with a lower min and max frames per second (than mine) a higher score is achieved?
