Only +100MHz on my 780, resulting in a real clock of ~1176MHz in-game. Could go higher if I flashed a BIOS without such shitty restrictions (+37mV and 103% power limit), but I just can't be bothered. I'm ditching it for Pascal in a few months anyway.

The shitty Elpida RAM chips won't do any better than +100MHz either.

Does overclocking your gpu actually increase your performance by a whole lot? I remember overclocking my 770s a decent bit but from gpu overclocking I only got like 2 fps or so higher in benchmarks.
When I overclocking my cpu by a whole gigahertz, I got nearly 20fps higher. So.. What's the deal?

Note: my gtx 770s died months apart from each other. They had kraken g10s installed on them and I feel like the vrms just gave out from the overclocks. On the bright side I have a gtx 780 coming in today while I wait for the x80ti Pascal later this year.

it's best if you take the time to figure out your own oc rather than taking someone else's settings.

download afterburner and heaven (not furmark), max out your power target, and start increasing your core clock in 10mhz increments until you artifact. once you do, increase your voltage in small amounts (12mv works well).

once you can't push your core any higher, start adjusting your memory. 290/390s reportedly have a "golden ratio" of core/memory between 1.25 and 1.4, but i don't know how true that is myself. either do that, or do the same process as your core clock but in 25mhz increments.

during this entire process, keep an eye on your temps. 85c is a good number to set as your limit, as throttling reportedly begins around there for these cards.

Hawaii GPUs are tanky as hell; the reference cards were designed to run at 95C. They'd throttle like motherfuckers, though. Most non-ref designs begin to throttle at around 85C.

All that said, there's no way he has 1450 core on his 290x. You'd be lucky to go past 1150 on those cards.

not even close
thing was designed to operate at 95c

I can choose to have it at 1140 with only +50mv and keep it below 70c and imnot sure if its placebo but that last .5% seems to be enough to keep witcher 3 stuttering less than sitting cool at 1140

the cooler is also near silent even at max speeds

Hard. Would still OC harder if I could.

775/800 -> 895/1025 for a swooping 15.5%/28% clock increase.
Power draw went from 65 W to 75 W (15.4%), but the actual benchmark performance went up a solid 27%.

Pretty good I say.
Too bad I can't go over 75W (pci-e slot power only).

Funny too, I think that OC is the only reason I'm not forced to upgrade yet.

I'm running 7850 from XFX, stocks are 860/1200. Going anywhere 960-1000MHz on GPU does't really yields anything except higher temp and, as result, more noise. So I'm happy with full stock both GPU and memory and I've reduced the stock voltage a bit to get the minimum value for stable stock clocks - it's totally dead silent card even under 100% load with furmark running at max 48-50 Celsius with 20% fan speed (at around 23-24 ambient temps).
So why should I trade silence for like 2-4 fps gains on average?

I overclock my 980 to around 1.45GHz boosted on core and 7.8Ghz MEM. It doesn't add that much performance, 5~10 additional fps that might come in handy for VR though.

That seems to be the threshold at which my card runs stable without TDRing after several hours of playtime.

Some games like COH2 are sensitive to even the slightest overclock for some reason. But others run just fine.

I tried pushing it a bit, but the core clock won't even go past +50. The thing is, my temps NEVER go over 60. It seems like I should have like 20 degrees of headroom to increase performance

I haven't upped my voltage, because the stock voltage on the windforce is 1200mv and I've heard everywhere not to go past 1200 on cards

Do I sit on +50 at 60 degrees or increase the voltage?

Anything wrong? Should power limit be that high?
Also how should I start?
>>
>>53761004
It's fine to max the power limit, that will allow for higher clocks. You could also add more voltage if you wanted, but you might have to go into the settings and unlock voltage control.

Start by upping the core clock in +50mhz increments until it becomes unstable, then back down to where it's stable.
Then do the same thing for the memory. Add more voltage when both are stable, in +10mv increments, then repeat.

Only change one thing at a time to not add a ton of variables into the equation.
Once you find the highest stable clocks for the card, save the profile and enjoy your free performance.
There's tons of guides and videos out there if you want some extra guidance.

Thanks bro.

How much do I increase voltage by? and what does that help with?

My GPU reached 80 C after 500 seconds of stress test.
>>
>>53761055
You explained my bad.

I guess ill touch the Voltage after 300mhz or so
>>
>>53761190
>How much do I increase voltage by?
Just enough to get where you want to go. If you're worried about heat, just don't bother with it because more voltage will generate heat a lot faster
>and what does that help with?
As clock speed increases, more voltage is needed to power the chip. This applies to every integrated circuit

Assuming your card is a third party cooler, you need good airflow in your case since the card dumps all the heat into the chassis and not outside of it

If it goes 30 min to 1 hr it should be stable. If you don't want to wait, fire up a game and play it for a while to test it, just make sure it's a demanding one. If it fails any benchmark or game it's not stable.
Download Unigne Valley or Heaven and letting it loop is a good way to stress it, plus it offers benchmark scores to show how much you gained

it's true that the reference cards target 95c, but there are non-ref models that throttle at lower temps thanks to their bios. it's down to a case-by-case basis, but 85c is a good safe number if you're not sure. if you see your core clock drooping in heaven, you're throttling.

and you haven't really fucked up, it's just too hot. dial back on the voltage, that should help your temps.

Still some rather heavy artifacting. I honestly think getting a 970 to do over 1500 is already great. I'll just try a few more things later, gotta drop it a bit more still so it doesn't artifact so heavily. Memory seems happy being over 4000mhz though.

I've got 2 R9 290s running at 1050/1250 MHz with stock volts.
mem won't go higher than stock without extra volts and anything over 1050 on the core gives artifacts even if I give it more volts.

My R9 280x is currently sitting at 1165/1800, 1.25V, 72 C full load. Need to do more testing to make sure it's stable.
