overclock gtx 970 g1 problem

[flxyy]

Hey! I do a slightly overclock on my gpu but all the games crush after 10-15 minutes gameplay do you know any solution?

I think you've simply got a bad chip. What are your numbers?

1. Check to make sure the power limit is set as high as possible

If it's not, set it as high as possible. This will most likely fix the problem.

 

2. If it is already set as high as possible, back off on your overclock or add more voltage. The card is probably exceeding its power limit.

 

3. If the card simply will not overclock, you either have a "bad" card or poor power delivery from the PSU.

No it will not

 

Not increasing the power limit will simply mean the card will throttle due to lack of power, it will not cause crashing

Again, not true

Poor PSU power delivery would not just cause games crashing after 10-15 but it would much sooner cause an entire pc reboot

I used EVGA Precision X to overclock my 970 G1 Gaming. I suggest you start low with Power limit set at 112%, GPU +100 and MEM +100 and work your way up. Run Unigine Heaven benchmark to stress the GPU. I got +210 mhz on the GPU and +250 on the MEM on my card.

well then my experience has lied to me

I swear, this is how I fix all my overclocking problems.

 

If a card exceeds the power limit unexpectedly, it will down clock immediately and restore its overclock as soon as the overcurrent situation has passed, which can cause a game to crash because the software expects to run smoothly. Same thing with a power supply. Hardware has these safety features built in, but the software typically does not.

 

Poor power delivery can crash graphics drivers without crashing the whole PC, especially if the PSU is struggling top supply enough power to feed the overclocked system.

i add more voltage but the same and especially on Shadow of mordor i've an error that i dont have enough ram ...

power target max

 

gpu clock 100

memory 100

That seems with in reason, unless you're pushing your voltages high?

Im not pushing that high but i add more voltage... 

[Nup]

I believe voltages can cause crashes/instability... not too sure what the deal is. May just not be the best overlocker. 

[Slash003]

You said you made an overclock so if nothing works just go back to default clock.

it does the same without more voltage

that is what im gonna do

Ouch, i dunno what to say mate :L

fuck it i'll leave it to normal

[flxyy]

well i think my gpu is trolling me...after a restart i finally stable it at 130 at gpu clock and 150 memory...
