980ti 1500mhz?

AiiR · 4 Nov 2017 at 18:06

My 980ti has been running fine at 1450mhz since I got it back in March this year, but I'd love to be able to get to 1500 for that nice round number..

I've tried maxing the voltage slider in Afterburner but that has little to no effect on stability, and 1500mhz crashes after about 10 seconds in Unigine Heaven.

1450 is rock solid stable, but 1500 isn't stable at all under max voltage and power limit in afterburner. Will something like a custom bios help me gain that extra 50mhz or is it not worth?

Not worth it imo.

+1, a extra 50mhz will make no difference to gaming or what ever you do.

You’ll need a custom bios to get it to 1500 but to be honest it’s not worth it for an extra 50mhz

I wouldn't run at max speed with modded Bios. For 50Mhz is not worth it.

I can push mine to about 1550mhz but I have it under water so temps don’t go much over 50degrees.

Unless your benching it you won’t see much of a gain.

1450 is the good side of average for a 980ti

Mod the BIOS if you really want the kudos of hitting 1500 but no real world gains to be had

Reduce memory clock in favour or core, not worth it though... buy a 1080 and get a round 2000

Yeah but the 980ti is clock for clock quicker than the 1080 it just doesn't go as high. He'd be better off waiting for Volta.

Anyway he should be able to get 1500+ with a custom bios plus push the memory +300

So its slower then

And cheaper. To be honest your not really going to go from a 980ti to a 1080 unless you can buy it cheap, you might as well go 1080ti for a worthwhile upgrade.
