Is yours a 6+8 pin card? I think 110% (275W) is the limit for 6+8 pin, whereas 8+8 is 130% (325W).

i have an msi gtx 980ti gaming which has 2x 8-Pin

I want to up my power limit, this thing will clock further but it's just hitting the power limit, stupid windows 10. Too lazy to go back now

suppose I could mod it myself?

My MSI Gaming 6G only goes up to 109%

Even with both my MSI's the limit was 109% and was a 2x8 pin but could do +170 when i had them and could have got them to do more with a voltage increase. To be honest it doesnt make much difference unless the card requires it and if it doesnt overclock well its just not going to use the power.

well, I was usntable at +180. crashing within seconds of running firestrike, if it even loaded it. Just benched at +200. Now to totally re test the OC on the card lol.

I can't get my Gaming 6G above +110. Doesn't seem to make any difference if I give it more voltage. The Nvidia drivers keep crashing

Seems to boost to 1461MHz consistently while running Firestrike Ultra which seems alright.

noobftw · 11 Jul 2015 at 22:26

i cant go past 150 on core clock or i start seeing red blotches on the screen, upping voltage does nothing to help, im happy with the card at 1492Mhz anyway - top card, have you guys set custom fan profiles ?

Neil79 · 11 Jul 2015 at 22:27

Just make sure you are using the latest 353.49 drivers

If you are, then perhaps the only way is a modified bios with gives you a more stable higher voltage

savagesam117 · 11 Jul 2015 at 22:32

Sounds like ours are very similar. If not identical.

Good enough though.

@thewanted. What is your asic?

Spoke too soon - afterburner hadn't actually applied the setting even though it said it had lol. Am stable at 180 now, but 185+ is still unstable. Voltages of +15,25, 40, 87 do nothing, crashes driver/hard lock pretty quickly.

evolad · 11 Jul 2015 at 22:48

Get them hotfix drivers installed

savagesam117 · 11 Jul 2015 at 22:49

What are you reference guys boosting too? All I see is talk of 6g and g1 cards

I want to see how mine is fairing.

evolad · 11 Jul 2015 at 22:53

I seem to only squeeze +130MHz out of my EVGA GTX 980Ti ACX 2.0+... boosting to 1446MHz. Only got to +250 on the MEM, not gone any higher yet.

OcUK dont sell them afaik but Im sure you can find them with your super awesome Google skills!

Ive not added any manual overclock I just let GPU boost do its thing and put PL to 110% and temp limit to 85 and Ive seen go as high as 1300 if its within temp target.

mine are SC reference versions btw
