Sorry to start a new thread but I just want some instant advice on clocking my 980ti after getting my X34 gsync monitor.

I have the Asus poseidon on air

what clocks are a stable place to start?


cheers
 
I just increased my core in 50mhz increments and same with my Memory then run a few games and benchmarks to check if its stable.

My 980ti is currently boosting to 1400mhz on core and 3800 x 2 on mem and temps dont go over 76c.
 
1450 core
1850 mem

As indicated by MSI afterburner

Then go up in steps of 10mhz for the core and 25mhz for the memory.

Don't bother. Sell it and get a 1080. Join the fun and excitement.

Surprised such an active member on this forum does not know how to oc :p;)

I know how to overclock,

I'm just being lazy as I CBA testing and benching...

I figured a close ball park would speed things up.

Why do all the work a year after release when you lot have done all the leg work ;)

Its a community help a brother out.

BTW your post is not very helpful one bit...I would have thought with such few post's and nearly 6 years of OCUK membership you would have at least learnt some quality control :D

So you can't just take the same settings as someone else and apply it with GPU in my experience, your own clocks will vary but a small increase in voltage will probably help (24mv). The cards are capable of some pretty beastly speeds but the temperatures will be your biggest weakness if you are air cooling. As per some of the other comments I would imagine it will clock in the region of 1300mhz with air, but make sure you check what its actually boosting to as is because many of them already boost to fantastic speeds as stock.

Do you have a custom loop on your CPU?
 
Just use Heaven in windowed mode so you can have afterburner on top, start at 1450 and let the gpu get up to temp, then add 10mhz at a time until it falls over, load it up again and back it off 10 from where it fell over and you shoild be good to go. Mem should be able to do 1900-2000.

I'm under water and i've got my stable at 1500 core, 2000 mem. i can go higher but temps start to get more than 50c :)

Same but i'm running it at 1450, also of note the EKWB backplate gets hot as **** for want of a better phrase! Which I guess means its doing what it is supposed to.

This is the best advice, I did exactly above, first I over clocked the memory to its max and then moved onto the core, on my Palit I now have 2000Mhz on memory and boost to 1500Mhz on the core, and this is on air, very impressive for 'budget brand'
 
my reference is stuck at 1450 core. Cannot get it above that. Tried 1500 but it crashes within 3-5 minutes. Temps are a non issue due to my 3rd party MK-26 cooler but yeah. Granted im not the best overclocker in the world...
 
Is that it then?

My Gigabyte xtreme is running:

BASE 1273 / BOOST 1374 (without any voltage adjustment), however when running Heaven it shows as GPU 1500, MEM 8000.

Whenever anyone states 1500 core, they don't mean idle base do they?
