Overclocking my 980TI again

[Techen]

So, I got a Acer 34x and found I should squeeze a little more juice out of my 980ti.

Is this within good range of what a 980TI is capable of? Does anyone have any links of it hitting higher? Cause my temps are pretty decent still...

Core Clock 1502mhz
Memory Clock 4059mhz

1500 is about right for a 980Ti. You are voltage limited and that is about the end of it really.

I have a custom bios on the card pushing it upto 1.27v is why I was asking. You are right about the core clock though, pushing it past that just kills the drivers but the memory seems okay so far

1500Mhz is actually very good for a 980TI.

Yep, one of my cards does not like anything over 1490. The other clocks to 1550, did not push it higher.

What about memory? Is 4000mhz decent place to be then?

Mine only has a clock of 1026 on the core & boosts to 1114. I've had it over a year and have yet to try and overclock it. I certainly will when it starts to struggle with some games.

What's a good program or benchmark to use these days?


Edit: I've only experimented with overclocking it in Fallout 4 - due to mods, so a necessity really, but it seemed to be stable at around the 1450 - 1470 mark. Can't be too bad, I guess.

I can't be too precise, but the fps increase seemed to be in the region of a little under 10 to around 15.

Just use afterburner

Clocks seem fine to me bud, i found its more about the power limit rather than the voltage, once youve unlocked the power the voltage goes up over 1.2v by itself as the cards draw more power on most of the bioses ive tried. If ya not giving it enough power the card will look like your hitting high clock speeds but youll actually get lower fps when you really stress it.

I tried one of them maxed out bioses on my cards to get an idea of what the slowest card was capable of, then i went back to stock bioses and just messed around with the settings so theyre not running at full power all the time as my electric meter was trying to take off
