The GPU Overclocking Database

[flibberdipper]

Well, here's the stable OC on the Radeon HD 3450 in the computer I gave my sister. This little guy balls hard. It's stable at 825 in Valley, but not in FurMark. Too bad the core overclocks better than my 7950.

Benchmarking stable OC pictures:

 

Highest memory speed I've been able to run so far is 8860 without volts added, and 1610 mhz core with 1.212v. (my gpu bugs out at above 1600 mhz if it goes over ~33c, so adding voltage doesn't help me get more speed, I need to wait til winter when I can get sub 20c load temps)

 

980 Classified @ 1600 mhz core & varying memory speeds:

 

 

 

(This is 1600 mhz actual, for some reason valley is bugged)

Is there anywhere like benchmark/comparison for some AAA titles and how overclock scales with performance ? For example I have my GTX970 MSI Gaming, I wanna know how much performance I can expect to get if I oc from 1460mhz to 1500mhz on core ?

 

My problem is that on 350.12 drivers I can overclock on +130/+200/110% which is approx 1471mhz core (dont care about memory tbh). With any newest drivers I need to lower that to +120 which is 1460mhz. No, voltage doesnt helps for some reason, tried changing PSU so I can only confirm that my gpu is bad overclocker or atleast not more then descent.

 

So my question would be, should I use +120 (1460mhz) without voltage, or should I bump voltage to +87 and then with +120mhz get boost of 1484mhz. I know that increasing voltage is lowering gpu lifespan but again temperatures are fine either way.

 

How much I can really expect for 20mhz of overclock ? I thought that by every 15mhz you get approx 1fps for example in The Witcher 3 which is kinda latest really heavy AAA game.

 

Any suggestion for link, or his own experiance I would really appreciate.

 

I also realized that +200mhz on memory it gives me like +2/3/4fps only in some games, nothing more then that even in SoM which is heavy memory game.

+87mv is very safe for maxwell, especially good 970s like msi's gaming and Gigabyte's G1.

Welp, I've come to the conclusion that I like my 3450. There needs to be an overclocking edition with like a 6-pin PCIe power connector lol

 

 

Card came out of a SFF Dell used in a business, and is running on stock cooling with fairly crappy thermal paste. Motherboard used was an ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe, and the RAM was a 4x1GB kit of Corsair XMS2 @800MHz CL9 (I think that was the CAS latency on it...). Not 100% sure if the voltage readings are right, so take that with a grain of salt.

Some beast oc testing!

So I've killed the ram on my 980ti guess it didn't like +700 mem 24/7 lel .... Sigh , time to rma ... -hoping evga sends me a classy 980ti replacement- that would be awesome

I don't know what to say right now

 

[Lays]

Just got biggest OC I've gotten yet!

 

 

 

Update, just ran one with a tiny bit less core (1609 mhz) on windows 7, got 93.2 fps

Settings for a consistent 1571 on the core and 2050 mem here.

Well, I Overclocked my very first GPU, 7100 GS. It OCed very well! From 400 MHz to 450 MHz. I used MSI Afterburner. My temps were at 40s because i put a fan in front of the heatsink. It was running very loud
 
Here's my specs:

Pentium 4 641 LGA 775

Palit NVidia GeForce 7100GS Factory OC* 256MB 64-bit DDR2 + Xigmatek CLF Series 80MM Blue LED Fan

Foxconn P4M9007MB-8KRS2H

Hi-Level 2GB + Panram 512MB DDR2 RAM

Samsung HD80HJ 80GB HDD 

HEC 350AR-TZ 350W PSU

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit

 

*Factory OC: Stock speed is 350 MHz. Factory OC'ed speed is 400MHz.

Here's an old thread about OCing 7100 GS:

OC'ed my SLI setup for the first time, it's stable after 2h Valley + The witcher 3.

 

It was a bit hard because I have two differents models. One with stock clocks (from EVGA) the other from Zotac (with a light OC). The second one came with 941 MHz base clock, and max voltage up to 70mV I think, whereas my EVGA couldn't go further to +37mV.

 

So, the finals results are pretty cool:

- EVGA : +155 MHz core clock, + 530MHz on memory clock (7GHz effective), + 37mV.

- Zotac: +80 (158 total) MHz core clock, + 530MHz on memory clock, +45mV. If i set it to +37, it's not stable actually.

 

Both cards are running at 1176MHz once boosted. I get + 20 FPS on valley, but it's a bit unreliable since I had to OC my CPU to get better results (I have a pretty bottleneck with this soft, but it's using only one core, so I suppose it's normal). However, I got solid 55-60 FPS on the witcher 3 with a DSR @1440P + Nvidia Hairworks.

 

Unfortunatly, I couldn't get a better OC due to the +37mV limitation. I had a stable OC at + 180/630 MHz on the Zotac with a solid overvoltage, but the EVGA couldn't follow, so I had to down it.

 

Now I have to OC that CPU =D

[Coaxialgamer]

I got my card to 1120/1500.

The core seems to be a terrible overclocker.

Btw i have an r9 290x tri x.

Not sure if doing this right, posting my GTX 960 OC results. Stays quiet. Used multiple programs to OC, so memory clock messes up sometimes.

stop here for now.

(OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit)

Memory: 4001MHz (According to MSI Afterburner, and GPU-Z reads it as 2001MHz)

Is my card happy :wacko: .... Temps go upto 73C btw.

Once a frame starts it goes to 1.230V, 1516MHz Core clock, then goes after a while to 1.205V and 1504MHz 

So I dunno what's up with this one.

Your cpu is bottlenecking your card. Look at my scores, I have a 980ti as well.

Got same asic but can only get 120/500 with 110 or 120% power

[StareX]

Yeah I figured, I started to OC my card alittle bit better, giving it a 100% full fan speed when OC'd (Making it 50-60C on load) and achieving 1497MHz Core, 3985MHz Memory and OC'd my CPU to 4.00GHz, giving me a score of 4250, then I OC'd it to 4.2GHz and it gave me 4400 .. So yeah

 

Offer me something, cuz 4.2GHz sometimes isn't stable for GTA V (is stable for Valley), it crashes after a while, reverting back to 4.00GHz and it's kk....

 

P.S. I dont see your post, what are your scores?

[Curufinwe_wins]

Max boost is what matters, and if your cooling isn't good you probably won't be able to hit same clocks as temps do make a difference on gm200 overclocking (after about 1500)

[Bramvdw]

Someone got overclock for zotac 980 ti amp! extreme?
