Overclocked 980ti

[Kabob71]

I just purchased a 980ti off someone who ran two in SLI who is upgrading to a 1080ti, for $350 Canadian pessos and am wonder what specs and overclocks others here have  reached. 

Mine is a EVGA acx 2.0+ superclocked

ASIC quality is 74.5%

Bosts to just over 1500MHz @ +87mv

The memory overclocked to 4070MHz

The card also stays between 60 and 70 degrees at load. 

I was going to purchase a 1070 but then this card came along, i grabbed the bottom card out of the SLI configuration the guy had. What speeds have you guys reached with a 980ti?

[jjohnthedon1]

Both mine do 1506 and 4000 on the memory max at +87mv

 

thats the max oc really on air and water unless u get a custom bios and add more voltage 

 

1500 is the holy grail on a 980ti

my friend has a lightning that won't go over 1445mhz

[jjohnthedon1]

Also temps wise my top card sits at 66degrees max but that's because of my case mod and I swapped the paste for liquid metal

I currently have 3 980tis (Kingpin editions) and they OC as follows:

 

1 - 1507mhz core (+70), 2173mhz mem (+800) @ 1.75v
2 - 1545mhz core (+115), 2163mhz mem (+790) @ 1.75v
3 - 1560mhz core (+105), 2122mhz mem (+700) @ 1.75v

 

Memory clocks are based on GPUZ readings. Double that number to compare to EVGA PrecisionX readings. 

 

FYI: All on air, and stock core voltage.

Wow, my cards wont go over 1.25v or something close to that. Did you flash your bios or is that how the kingpin addition comes?

1.75v is the memory voltage, not the core voltage. But yes, it was adjusted through a tool for the Kingpin and Classified cards. For the more normal cards you'd have to do a bios flash to get that voltage. Those since you are already at 2025mhz without changing the voltage you are doing well. I assume you have Samsung memory on that thing.

 

I also found that increasing the core voltage on air just makes the card more unstable. I got better overclocks by leaving the core voltage alone.

I just use the EVGA precision X utility so I only have one voltage I can control. I find that increasing the core voltage doesn't help my offset much but it increases the amount the card will bost. As for the memory manufacturer I  haven't taken it apart so I  have no clue if Samsung made them.

GPUZ will tell you the memory manufacturer.

Looks like I have Hynix memory

None of this makes sense.

 

+115 GPU clock gains you 1545mhz, yet +105 GPU clock nets you 1560mhz?

another thing

980tis came @ 3500mhz stock = +800mhz on mem would put you @ 4300mhz, not 2173mhz.

 

Can you stop lying to the OP so he doesn't get confused?! Its not helping him at all.

he's either lying to you or his information is so ridiculously wrong that its leading you down the wrong path.

 

Listen to someone else.

 

 

My EVGA 980ti SC runs 24/7 @ +125mhz GPU clock which nets it  1476mhz  clock speed   +87mv  +525 memory clock puts it @ 4025 DDR or 8050mhz ram. Hope this is more helpful that that bs none sense.

GPUZ is where those memory speeds would have came from. It says mine runs at 2038MHz when the Precision x software says 4073 for me

GPUZ shows half the speed from MSI AfterBurner or Precision X. Same values

Some aftermarket programs are less accurate then others.

 

Valley Heaven Benchmark reads my GPU @ 1676mhz when precision X reads 1476mhz.

the heaven benchmark gives me two different readings for my memory speed on is at 1649MHz the other is the same that precision x tells me. the 1649MHz also doesn't change as I adjust the offset

Not really. 

Some numbers above don't make any sense.

Offsets are based on the cards standard boost clock. They are different for every card. It's just my notes so I know where to run each card when overclocking. Memory clock values are based on GPUz readings. Like I said before, double them to get the value that will show up in overclocking programs. Sorry for giving concrete evidence and not basing everything off of useless offset values like you do.

 

 

I run the Valley Benchmark thread, you can see other 980TI overclocking results in our database there as well.

My gigabyte gaming G1 gets 1535 MHz (+130) and 3850 MHz on VRAM (+350). Everything maxed on voltage / power / temp limit. GPU voltage at 1.243v.

 

I seem to have poor luck with VRAM overclocking though...even my 1070 won't get near (+400Mhz).

 

I don't use Heaven as a stability tester...I use Vray / iray rendering. For some reason my renderers are far worse than Heaven is.

Why would u go from a 980ti to a 1070 lol ?

He kinda ripped you off considering you can get a 2 480s for 300

One is for my Server, one is in my PC. I had two FirePro V7900s (one in each) before.

 

I wanted to have my server render while modeling on my PC.

 

But yeah, I was disappointed when I got the 1070...I thought it would be like 5-10% faster like in the reviews...ended up being the opposite. And in rendering, there's no contest at all...

 

I'm waiting for more people to upgrade to 1080 Tis so I can get another 1070 or 980 Ti used for cheap for more rendering power.

SO the 980ti when overclocked is faster than the 1070 yeah ? 

And better at rendering ?

Yeah. The 1070 (2.1 Ghz OC...as far as I could get it) only won once in Time Spy (3D Mark). Everything else it just gets beat at by my 980 Ti. Even in my games, which aren't hard to run at all, just PS4 port RPG games, will run at 60-80% load on the 1070, but like 40-50% load on the 980 Ti.

 

In rendering, there's roughly a 10-14% difference in rendering times per frame between the two, which amounts to a lot when rendering a lot of frames.

 

I mostly do content creation, so I have very limited gaming experience. haha.
