Gpu overclocking on a laptop

[Schony125]

Hi guys, 

I wanted to increase the memory speed of the gtx1070 on my laptop,  if it crashes its going to be like a gpu core crash?

 

I have always oc'd only the core clock and I have heard strange stories about memory overclock.

VRAM OC rarely causes crashing, you are more likely to encounter artefacts (graphical defects) or flickering

I'm not sure i would recommend overclocking your laptop's GPU. A laptops not going to have a super robust cooling system like a desktop might, so it's going to struggle to keep that card cool once you really start pushing it.

What do you need to oc a 1070 for???

Not only that, the power brick may be just enough to run the laptop at full power.

GPUs can't run at their full power anyway on battery because batteries can't safely deliver that amount of current over an extended period of time.

Tell Scotty to reroute all power to the phasers VRAM.

 

Then use the software you're using for GPU core OC and play with the memory slider.

10 fps with only a 100 MHz on core

overdoing memory overclock will introduce artifacting and unusual colors. i've done it once before all in without going steady, never doing that again. go slowly up.

worst case scenario just reset/force power off, and the settings will revert back to normal

 

both cases will crash eventually, core clock is just a frozen frame... while memory nets u random artifacts if overdone beyond limit

Thank you for the answer. Finally some one that answers to the question

No worries haha i guess it helps if someone has actually done the overclocking at least then the input is relevant to some extent

 

i kinda hated the crashes tho haha ?

I've OC a bunch of laptop GPUs, no issues whatsoever. Since it has a 1070, I'm pretty sure his laptop has a decent enough cooling which should be fine. In my experience that is. Also laptop 1070 are usually clocled lower than the desktop ones so OC it would usually mean getting it first to clocks of FE and then going for real performance. It is probably downclocked from the factory.

Yes I was able to hit 2000 mhz on the core with the stock voltage as the card is voltage and power locked.

The cooling solution on my laptop is not great as the card thermal throttles when its pinned at 100% load to ~1500/1400 mhz but is able to keep 60 fps on  a 3200x1800 at usually max settings.

What laptop are we talking about?

[Schony125]

its a "custom laptop" its fitted with a 1070, 6700 non k, 32 gb of ram and dual ssd

But which one?

Also if it's throttling, there is no point in OC since it will only throttle sooner. I'd open it and swap the paste as a first step and then see whats what.

IC diamond swapped

It's a xmachines xm952

even if it thermal throttles it keeps the clock higher (don't ask me how) I benchmark ed it both on sintetic and games
