Overclocking my gtx 980

wretchedwilly · October 30, 2014

Ok, it happened.... I bought a gtx 980. Anyways, I have been searching for people's overclock of their EVGA 980 acx 2.0 super clocked edition, and I can't find much of anything.... I want to use the EVGA overclock utility, which makes it really nice and easy, but I want an idea of what overclocks I will be expecting. NO water, just the stock cooler. Anyone here have any references? Anyone here overclock their 980?

I got my strix 980 up to 1546MHz Boost Core and 1890Mhz Memory clock. Doesnt get over 67c when looping Unigine Valley, or above 63c when doing a single Unigine valley benchmark.

Although that is meaningless to your performance. You really do need to do all of the work to safely find your cards limits.

Thanks. How would you suggest I go about this. I.E in increments etc... This will be my first legit Overclock, so Im going in cold basically. What Benchmark do you use to test for artifacting? I used uniengine heaven 4.0.
