GPU Overclock & FC4

[Rohit Jackdaw]

My Overclock on GTX 760 was 1120 Mhz Core and 1675 Mhz Memory. On playing Fc4 yesterday I was not happy about the performance so I pushed it to 1150 Mhz. It ran Furmark for an hour as a test. I played the game and not much of a difference but it crashed two times within 2 hours. So I reduced OC to 1135 Mhz and thought that might be the cause of the crash. After 30 minutes it crashed once and alsk stopped working. By crashing I mean display would be black and after a few seconds in Task Manager FC4 will be not responding but usually when these OCs crash Driver also Crashes but here no issues. My concern is this only with this game or depends on OC apart from how it ran Furmark for an hour. Will check out on other games tomorrow. Thanks.

Try running unigine heaven and look for artifacts(look at the rocks and the clouds). Sometimes furmark might not show all the artifacts(its mostly a burn in test). But again FC4 is a very new game. Its kind of hard to tell if it is the game or the card being unstable.

Will try it out. But some says Unigine simply crashes. I have had that issue months ago with Heaven. But Valley was fine. Heaven used to crash my driver. So which one donu suggest ?

By the way I have already increased Voltage by 12 Mv but is it required to enable "Force Constant Voltage" in Afterburner ?

Black screens usually = memory overclock is too high or needs more voltage. 

 

Artifacts = core needs more voltage.

 

When you raised core the memory overclock no longer had the juice it needed and you got blackscreens. You either need more voltage or need to remove the OC on core, or lower memory oc. 

 

Far Cry 4? Terribly optimized game. High sittings simply aren't playable at a unlocked 60 even on a GTX 980. CPU optimization seems to be the reason, and the game chugs on one core and causes stutter (look at your afterburner gpu usage).  Either disable mip mapping in the gamerprofile.XML (will lower some textures and give you some pop in) for 60 FPS or lock the game to 30 FPS with Nvidia control panel adaptive half vsync and a 30 fps limit in riva stat tuner if you want to push graphics.

 

It isn't your video card, it isn't your cpu, it is a another garbage,unoptimized Ubisoft game.
