[770 Windforce] Overclocking Help! (First Time)

CHarrisMedia · February 21, 2014

Hello all!

I would like to start of by saying, by no means i'm an overclocking freak. I recently got my GTX 770 Winforce (2GB Model) GPU as an upgrade and decided I would like to overclock the card to see what results i could achieve. After watching a few videos (one of which being Linus's titan video) this is what I was able to achieve. If there are any experts in this field, i would love tips / improvements I could achieve to boost the card even further. I'm not too worried about the Voltage however I would like to keep the card below 80C, Fan speed also isn't too much of an issue providing it's reasonable. This is what I currently have:

For some reason, this doesn't change:

I usually leave this like it is above, however this is what happens when i turn on overvoltage.

I could probably go higher however am a little in confident as i'm not used to overclocking whatsoever. Any settings improvements you guys suggest / use I can go ahead and try them out.

Background notes:

CPU: i5 3570K (Not Overclocked)

GPU: GIGABYTE GTX 770 Windforce (2GB)

The room is usually warm (For the UK in winter) however if the room gets too hot, I can cool it down easily.

Operating System: Windows 8.1

Driver Version: 334.89

GPU-Z Info:

Games I usually play:

- Battlefield 4

- Far Cry 3

- Splinter Cell Blacklist
- Arma (Day-Z)

- Call of Duty Ghosts (However I cannot use fraps as it causes confliction with my mouse (Looking up randomly etc) and it does not show my FPS in-game, Also when i use a zoom scope, i notice a frame drop)

- Crysis 3

If anyone can help me with the Call of Duty ghosts issue or if you have any suggestions about overclock i'm currently running, please respond with a comment.

Thanks!

Don't know about overclock but that EVGA software that you are using can be used to monitor all sort of things, including fps if you installed Riva tuner statistics server with it. Just turn it on in the options. No need for fraps when you can have everything from temperatures and clocks to fps.
