safe gpu oc?

[Prokart2000]

hi

what would be a safe oc for my gpu that will 100% work but will give me as much as performance as possible i will run fans at 40% all the time and top temps 80c please

depends, how long do you want it to last?

 

it really differs from chip to chip. your matrix should be able to do it pretty well

[Freaky_spider]

and your question is? not enough info

[helping]

Set to max 1.25v and go to town on the overclock.

 

shouldn't be unsafe. 

[Prokart2000]

i want it to last for around 4years but get some extra FPS!

Seeing that your member title is worst advice ever i will not try this

[Prokart2000]

im want one as i dont get that high fps in bf4

It's really hard to tell from that information.

[Prokart2000]

It's really hard to tell from that information.

what do you mean?

[PassionFruit]

what do you mean?

Oh, never mind. You had the setup in the sig. 

 

But anyway, we can not tell you the exact overclock you will be getting. You have to try it out yourself.

just wondering what would be safe NEVER ocd before

[mapegl]

well you should just try pushing your core clock till you get freezes or artifacts and go back to previous clock.

try going higher by steps of 50Mhz. from your stock.

then do the same for your memory.

don't touch your voltage at the beginning. when you have reached the max of what you can do without raising voltage, you can increase that.

that's where the "unsafe" stuff starts, because everything that's just raising clocks should be fine.

 

when testing you should use highly demanding games. I made the experience that benchmarks are more stable than games, so games will really put an overclock to the test. both tests are useful though. use something like crysis. that always works for me.

 

yeah and of course watch your temps. enything below 80°C is perfectly fine.

Well i used a tweaked LN2 bios for my old 480 and blew it's phases, it lasted just over 4 years, not exactly easy to give you exact life expectancy, just be careful and set a reachable target for yourself.

I have yet to get real dirty and nasty with my 290, was almost arrested for raping the 480 too much

update

 

i have got 1050mhz from 1000 and the voltage 1257 to 1263 is this ok running kombustor ran valley and got 2fps more

[Prokart2000]

and what kombustor test shall i do?

[Prokart2000]

any1?

[Sonefiler]

any1?

Use Unigine Valley

[Prokart2000]

Use Unigine Valley

i have already

[Sonefiler]

i have already

Don't use a Kombustor test, they overwork your GPU WAAAAAY too hard, getting into mining level

which one should i use just so i know its 100% stable

[Sonefiler]

which one should i use just so i know its 100% stable

Unigine Valley and Crysis 3/Battlefield 4

[Prokart2000]

Unigine Valley and Crysis 3/Battlefield 4

i have all of them i will try them later

[mapegl]

Yeah, Battlefield 4, Farcry 3, Crysis 3.

 

Those are good stress tests for an overclock.
