Graphic Card Overclock List and Discussion

[Jripper]

Tested with a few games. There is an FPS boost of 7~10fps with the overclock.
Wolfenstein(maxed out) on stock ranged from 40~55 with ocassional dips to 29.
With the oc, it never went below 37/38. Max I saw was 64.

I was surprised by the performance in battlefield 4. (Ultra settings, 2x msaa)
Stock:- Min:- 28, Avg- 41/42 Max:- 62
OC:- Min:- 35, Avg:- 48-54, Max:- 68.

And the card stays ridiculously cool. Admittedly,I am using a custom fan curve in afterburner with 70% fan speed at 65 degrees. But the temperatures don't seem to cross 65 usually. The max I have seen it at is 68.

Will try out other games.

lol bf4 better than mine fps

Wat? @_@ How is that possible? The 7850 is vastly inferior to the R9 280x. Even with the overclock, I guess the max it can reach is performance levels of an HD7870 or maybe slightly better.
To be fair, I only saw 68 once. Usually it stays around 46~52.

actually i maxed out everything then and now i hav deleted bf4.........

 

[Jripper]

Hmm that could be the reason. I only run 2x msaa max and antialiasing post at medium and AO at HBAO. Left everything else at ultra.
Even I uninstalled bf4 a few minuted ago

Journey so far, stable running Heaven & Crysis 3 & other games.

^I think it will go much higher. Temps look pretty low. Try ICD maybe?

 

[Skud]

Not going any higher with some sort of stability. Guess, unless I BIOS mod, that's my ceiling.

Guys any r7 260x owners here?? What is a good overclock on this card?? Gpu clock and memory clock I mean.

^^ Read a couple of reviews and try to oc it in small margins until you hit the limit without increasing volt and share your result with us.

@skud - Do post in this format so someone else can use your settings as a baseline :

GPU :
Manufacturer and Model Name ( Optional ) :

GPU Stock Speed :
GPU Overclocked Speed :
GPU Core Volt : Stock / If tweaked mention the value

Shader Clock ( Optional ) :

vRam Type :
vRam Stock Speed :
vram OCed Speed :
vRam Volt : Stock / If tweaked mention the value

Cooler : Stock or Third Party/Special
Bios Version : Stock / Updated ( version ) or Modified
Software Used for OC :

Additional Notes if any :

^^Here you go:-


GPU : nVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
Manufacturer and Model Name ( Optional ) : MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G

GPU Stock Speed : 1114 MHz / 1253 MHz Boost
GPU Overclocked Speed : ​1310 MHz / 1449 MHz Boost
Actual GPU Boost Speed : 1550 MHz
GPU Core Volt : Stock / If tweaked mention the value : Stock

Shader Clock ( Optional ) : NA

vRam Type : GDDR5
vRam Stock Speed : 7010 MHz
vram OCed Speed : 8003 MHz

vRam Volt : Stock / If tweaked mention the value : Stock

Cooler : Stock
Bios Version : Stock
Software Used for OC : MSI Afterburner

Additional Notes if any : Temps are well within limits, TDP is also within limit, still can't go any higher. Anything above this point, there's lots of driver reset. Even while not running any games, only web browser and/or video player.
