Overclocking 770? What does the prioritizing feature do?

[frenchy0312]

Can someone explain this to me in idiots terms? I have a bog standard EVGA 770 and have the power and temp targets set to max (106% and 95 degrees) for a small overclock and im just wondering how the prioritize feature works?

Prioritising means it aims to hit one of them, if both are "Linked". It will raise the powertarget, within safe limits, until your card actually runs at 95c. Bear in mind this causes throttling to have such a high target.

If you set a powertarget instead (And they are still linked), it will only go as high as the powertarget allows, again within safe temps.

If powertarget and temp are not linked, both will raise to their set maximum. Again within safe limits..

.. I THINK I don't own a boost 2.0 card to test.

Right thats brilliant thanks. Ive tried to set it to power and then to temp and it doesnt seem to make any difference. So ive just left it on power
