I sold my old GPU for miners and bought MSI RTX 3060 Ventus 2X instead. I'm going to use this with a 1080p 165Hz monitor until GPU prices go down again.
I'm trying to overclock it and achieved 2137Mhz core and +775Mhz memory in stress tests and non-RT games. Even Port Royal stress test was stable and it utilizes ray tracing. However, I couldn't even get past the loading screen in Cyberpunk 2077 and CoD CW also crashed frequently. I had to lower maximum boost clock down to 2055Mhz to get my GPU stable. I'm still not 100% confident that it's stable but I hope so. If I disable Ray Tracing in these games, I have no issues.
So is this a common thing with RTX cards? And does increasing core speed affect RT and Tensor cores too?
By the way I found that the Boundary Benchmark in Steam seems to be the best stress test for testing OC stability.
