Posted January 9, 2015 Hello, I overclocked my EVGA gtx 980 sc adding 138mhz to the core. I achieved a boost clock of 1668mhz on the core running at about 73ºC average. In ungine valley it says the in the top right corner "1668mhz". I feel like this is far to much for a card that is air cooled and still running stable.

I actually couldn't underclock my 5 year old GPU to make it as slow as a next-gen console. #pcmasterraceproblems ~Slick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 9, 2015 valleys readings are very off. use a program like GPU Z That's what i thought, will do!

Posted January 9, 2015 1567Mhz is a fine OC. As long as the GPU doesn´t throttle you are perfectly fine. I can run all my GTX980s above 1500MHz but my fastest goes up 1552MHz so yeah this is a really nice result on air what you have here .
