Problems Overclocking

[Infextious]

hello i just bought a MSI Geforce GTX560Ti and ive tried to overclocking it ive seen some of the users settings and tried them myself however i didnt get anywhere near them values i tried to go to 1Mhz but toned down to 980 with a 1.25Voltage is there any easier way of getting this to work first time overclocking a card by the way and i have read the beginners guide just need more clarifcation thanks

980 on the core is good not all cards clock the same but what sort of temps are u getting run heaven 2.5 and see what u get

I have the twin fozr version of that card and 980 is a good clock. I've settled for this....

hey yeah stevie i tried your settings and ran it in heaven card was at going from 45-50 and the GPU was at 99% dunno if thats a bad thing or not

hello i did manage to get up to 950 although my BF3 keeps crashing and the driver stops responding and recovers so i clocked it back down to default is this a nvidia issue or is it my card? ive actually tried everything i was playing at 980 Mhz on wow with the voltage at 1025 anythingi should know? thanks

Maybe try a different driver with your BF3. If your card is 99% it means it's working to it's max.

My son has a MSI GTX 560Ti, running heaven 2.5 with the OcUK settings i have managed to get the card to complete it a 1000mhz Core, how ever when it completed heaven it crashed, so no score.

I know this is a long way to O/C but IMO its the best way, because you understand your hardware better, i always go 10mhz at a time, then run heaven. I then see if the GPU is struggling with artifacts etc, then obviously raise the core and volts respestively

I have run it at 990 core 1980 shader and 2200 memory, it returned a score of 1066, ill try and post up the score later. The temps were 74C volts i believe for this run were 1113.

When i completed the 1000 Mhz run, volts were set to 1125. However like i said it crashed, so i will try again and hopefully get a score.
