Can an overclock decrease in gaming performance or no?

[Roudy sahmarani]

Hello guys i must say something that i have overclocked the gtx 1070 founders edition to a core clock 200+ and memory 500+ and power limit to full and core voltage to full and made a fan curve for the fan and i didnt see so much of improvement and i saw a little of artifacts(what is responsible for artifatcs?) so then i reverted everything to normal and after the overclock has been done and reverted back to normal will any trace of overclock be left over and will i see artifact or no it will revert to normal and if i see artifact what will this mean because i think but not sure that i saw an artifact or maybe a light on the screen didnt pay attention to it so i am worried about my card being damaged but i removed the overclock i reset it and removed afterburner and everything and uninstalled the driver and then reinstalled the graphic driver.

Can an overclock make a negative impact on the performance of games or no i need to know before i do anything so if i overclock can this overclock make a negative impact? The gpu is gtx 1070 fe and the cpu ryzen 5 1600x is it better to overclock or leave at stock i ak talking here only about the gpu not the cpu overclock

No, but overclocking can cause artificating which is technically decreasing in-game performance. But if you use common sense while overclocking, you won't harm anything.

Overclocking will always increase performance and not lower it. Except you start thermal throttling because your temps are too high or go too crazy and make it unstable and cause artifacts/bsod/hardlocks and so on

You should be fine with overclocking at all, because at gpus you cant damage anything, the only thing that can happen is thermal throttleing, but there shouldn‘t be any harm to the device itself

If you get artifacts, your memory clock is too high which causes the artifacts. Core clock would crash/freeze/bsod but not artifact. That comes from your memory clock which I guess is too high, try lowering it step by step and see if they go to non existent at some point. Killing a GPU takes more than just a bit of overclocking, once at stock settings it should stop artifacting and you could try to increase it step by step until the artifacts start again and then go back one step.

Hey guys is undervolting the gtx 1070 fe a goos thing to do to overclock it and how to do it is there any video to teach me this?

Thank you my man as i said i have reseted everything and i am not sure if i have saw an artifact or np but my memory is at stock not overclocked.

How it is no and decreasing in game performance i didnt understand this artifacting is when i see lines flickering and something like this right so then i should lower the memory clock

it can decrease performance, telling you that you're going too far for this voltage and power limit.

I didnt understand? And is doing undervolting a good thing or no?

new architectures like Pascal and Vega can drop performance right before the point of crashing, that's just how it behaves.

 

A good thing, as long as you don't overdo it

[Roudy sahmarani]

So how to prevent this by leaving the power to 100% and not touching the voltage?
