If Furmark (which I'm assuming you've called Power Virus) is not suitable, then do you recommend I run a game or do you have another benchmarking software in mind?

games are usually the best, but sometimes a good overclock for this game can crash in another one. Benchmarking software is more reliable, and I myself found overclock done on Heaven benchmark usually holds in other games.

So I have myself a very nice PNY 780Ti Founder's Card. And I have one very simple question; Why isn't it overclocking? I am using MSI afterburner and it refuses to go above 875Mhz on the core clock and 975Mv on the voltage. even with the fan cranked to max and the Power and Temp limits also maxed, the card refuses to overclock even with only 78C on the core temp. I know it's not a power bottleneck because my GPU and CPU combined only eat 500 watts and I have a 650 80+ Gold EVGA PSU, so no concerns from there. I have played around with MSI afterburner's settings and yet still my card refuses to go over 875MHz even with the core clock set to +300.

you need to put 3D load on it, a game for example, for the clock speed to really go up.

Do keep in mind that Furmark was running during that screenshot being taken.

power virus is NOT suitable.

Well I'll try a game and Heaven and get back to you on that.

So I tried Heaven and BeamNG.Drive and the results:
BeamNG got 50FPS max with an overclock of 220 on the core, 300 on the memory, and 30 milivolts on the core.
Heaven, with an overclock of 200 on the core and clock, and a 20 mili overvolt, got the following:
83.8 Avg
a Score of 2110
Min: 8.9
Max: 189.4

at settings of 1600x900 with Vsync off and preset at Ultra.

Please tell us the actual clockspeeds, not the offsets you applied. (GPU Turbo Boost works in a way that saying it like you did, provides different values)

 

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Any reason you are running the card at 78c? I’d address that first.
