Okay so this has been going on a long time and I keep getting mix signals from people when asking for help.
Some people say I should leave it that I'm not going to gain anything and others say it should boost my performance by at least an extra 20%
Now my issue with this is every-time I overclock my GPU it either performs worse (in heaven benchmark) or crashes one game in particular which is Fortnite even if i go +5 core +10 mem (but I think this is down to a conflict between Afterburner and the game and not too much load on on system as it seems to be the only game that will crash)
So anyway here's the deal
I've tried overclocking the GPU by increasing the Core +30 and memory +50 which seems to make things worse, I've tried doing it with power limiter set to max, still worse.. I've tried with the power increase turned off. I've tried doing a clock something like +100 core +400 memory which runs stable but yet again seems to be worse in performance.
What am i doing wrong here?
Spec:
Ryzen 5 1600x (which overclocked beautifully to 3.85)
16GB DDR4 RAM 2400 clocked to 2600
550W Corsair PSU < Is this the issue here?
X370 K7 Gaming Motherboard
7 Fans in the system next to a window (pretty sure I haven't got cooling issues and never seen temps go above 80c)
Thanks for any advise or input.
