I figured I had to do something like that. I was hoping that I've might miss a setting or two. Thanks for the info.

So I've pushed my card almost to its maxed. However, I want to see if I can push it even further by increasing the voltage. Nevertheless, no matter how much I increase, on MSI Afterburner it is reading the voltage as 1200mV. I thought that maybe this is an Afterburner glitch. But, after watching multiple videos on YouTube all of their voltage reading increased with the increased in mV. Here is my setting for the voltage unlock. What am I missing here? Thanks. Also, when I am talking about the voltage I mean while under stress test.

Wow, I think this actually worked. I manage to play 5 matches without any crashes. Hopefully, this is consistent and is not one of those "random chance."

Hmmm...guest it is not mine then... I'll give that a try.

Has anyone managed to play the game with an overclocked GPU(s)? Even with a slight overclock on my 970s my game either crashed or BSOD. Maybe I've missed a setting in game or in the Nvidia control panel that would allow my overclocked GPU. If you are wondering. All of my drivers are up to date. My CPU is overclocked (4790k @ 4.6ghz). Moreover, I know that it is rock solid since I've stress tested it before. What I don't understand is that my overclocked 970s is stable in Heaven (12hrs) and Valley (12hrs) all maxed setting etc. If it was the other way around wherein Battlefield it was stable and in stress tests it wasn't, then I would totally get it. Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the info.

Hmm... interesting then I'll have to find another game to see if my cards are stable.

Both of my cards are Samsung but mine doesn't even overclock at all... Guess I am in the minority then.

Ah... ok thank you.

Yeah, I guess :(... Also, does overclocking the memory help in any way with the FPS?

I am trying to overclock my 970s in SLI. I manage to get the core clock to +180. The cards are stable both in stress tests and in games. However, when I touched the memory even +25 it will pass the stress tests but crashes in games like BF4 and The Witcher 3 (BSOD and complete black screen). I just wanted to know if anyone who has or had the 970 experience this problem when overclocking. I have the EVGA GTX 970 ACX 2.0 (not the ACX 2.0+). Thanks.

I am having a problem with The Witcher 3 screen tearing. So I turned on the Nvidia adaptive VSync to try and fix that. The problem would go away only however if the fps at 60. When it dips to 40ish fps it feels like 22-25 fps. Nevertheless, if I don't have any VSync on whether that be it in the Nvidia control panel or the in-game VSync. I get massive screen tearing of course when the fps is 60 + but the dips down to 40 fps feels like 40 fps. Also, I have the in game fps cap at unlimited. Even if I set that to 60, I get the same result as with the Nvidia adaptive VSync. This is weird because I used adaptive VSync on my other games and never have this problem before (GTA V, Warhammer Total War, Red Orchestra 2, etc.)

OK I got it now. Thanks for your input. Yeah, my 970's temps are fine. However, when I try to overclock even just a little my computer would freeze up. I just got fed up with it and now I am running it stock. Now I know not to buy computer parts on launch. Give it a couple of months and then go out and buy it.

Nah... mine is fine. But If the ACX 2.0+ could decrease temps down by a couple of degrees I see why not to ask for a swap.

I remember awhile back people were complaining that the ACX 2.0 only had two out of the three heat pipes touching the GPU, so the cooler was not doing its job "properly." That why EVGA release the ACX 2.0+ which had a copper square that was touch the GPU and three heat pipes running along the length of the GPU.
