1080 overclock not netting any fps gains?

Brazo · 23 Jun 2016 at 22:19

I am using an inno3d 1080 x2.

At base clocks 1607 I get 60 fps using kombuster lakes of Titan x64 1440 8x msa settings.

I can add a hefty 250mhz to that clock and the boost shows in monitoring software that it's hitting as high as 2110mhz yet the fps remains the same at 60. I am using precision evga.

Is the CPU limited perhaps? I7 4790k at 4.8. 16gb ram

My settings in evga were power limit 120% plus the offset, nothing on memory

Just to add temps are all fine

Could it be v-sync / G-Sync / fps cap in place or something? Sound like it if it's hitting 60fps to likely match your panels refresh rate?

Could be I do have it enabled in some games but not in kombuster. In fact I ran the x32 test and got 251fps so can't be?

Yeah just dounds like its been capped, if ya cant work it out just download Heaven to test it.

You can also run GPU-z and check GPU usage, that would be a good indicator

Thanks i'll give Heaven a try

Ok so downloaded Heaven and stock clocks gave me 109fps and a 2113 oc (plus 500 on memory) gave me 120fps so working as it should. I can probably go higher on my clocks but given I have no need I'll stick at base until an oc is required.

spend all that money and worried about making it faster already lol

Ha, just having a play really and wanted to see how far it would go before I leave it at stock. Seems to be happy on 2.1 same as every other 1080.

That said people are getting 123-124 fps with the same system spec as me in Heaven. I don't want to split hairs over a few fps though, could be my CPU. I'll try the 1440 bench.

If it allows you slightly higher settings leave the overclock on

if you already have everything maxed in games then yeah just bang it back to stock. I guess with cards that powerful your maxing all teh settings anyway unless you go 4k+

Yeah I have a 1440p monitor which I've overclocked to 75hz. Don't currently have a game that will trouble the 1080 at ultra settings and 75fps.
