More FPS without overclocking - Nvidia only?

[shinkairi]

Hey guys,

 

First time overclocking here.

 

JayZTwoCents has a video ([MEDIA=youtube]VeQe6pEEtVI[/MEDIA]

) saying power target is fine being pushed to max allowed as well as temp target. That's on evga precision overclocking software. I was just wondering if the same is true for nzxt cam software. I have an AMD card with current specs on image below.

 

I put my power limit to the max, so +20% as you can see in the picture, is that fine?

 

And what should I do concerning memory clock and core clock? I didn't touch core clock yet, can I push it that last little bit without any issues?

Me personally I believe MAX Power is the legit 100% ability of the GPU and isn't overclocking. Just unlocking the factory Max potential.

Ive always used MaxPower, but I also never use cheap rate power supplies either.

 

Adding core and memory frequency however, is an Overclock,and pushed far enough will give issues.

Do you need to start the program everytime with windows if you want changes done to card in effect, or once i click apply, i can close nzxt cam?

If my memory serves, NZXT CAM does not have control over any GPU overclocking.

You should be doing your power target / overclocking through AMD's own driver software -- Adrenalin.

If you make the changes WITHIN Adrenalin, and save it, it will automatically apply the changes on every Windows start-up.

It will only restore back to default if something abnormal happens (e.g. drivers crash).
