Possibly could be due to cooling for sure. The cooler they run, the better

 

In GPU-Z there is Memory type. As you can see mine above says GDDR5 (Samsung) What does yours say GamerMan ??

My 2nd Gigabyte G1 GTX970 has been stock since this thread opened and I gave it a try on my first G1 and did okay but tried to revert my bios n fkd up. My own fault..

Rma and my replacement has been stock ever since.

That was over a year ago.

 

Today the Room was warm (worst case scenario) at 27*c

After 45mins looped I have found my maximum synthetic stable clock.

 

Its also rock solid for DirtRally and Some games but have not tested all my games yet.

Pretty happy with 1515/1980

Previous G1 went to 1550 on core but pretty much nothing on Memory.

So yeah Im stoked at the moment it got this far. I know others have got better, Im happy I didnt get a dud.

wow, what temps are you getting? also does your card just crap out after reaching 60C? my G1 does...

72*c

When I get to 65*c the core clock drops 15mhz ish. Thats about it.

Eg If i set 1525mhz and heavy load happens past 65*c the core backs to 1513mhz If i want a locked 1500mhz I have to use 1513mhz.

To get 1515 i had to set above..at 1528ish knowing its going to drop.

hmm, mine just wont do anything after it reaches 60C, artifacting and stuff for even minor OCs.... iv ordered a new cooler for it, a accellero twin turbo 3, which should keep it super cool so i can OC it lol

[SirWendall]

I finally got somewhat of a overclock now

Core voltage is @ +25 and the core is @ +85MHz. Little boost is better than no boost

thats less then what i can do lol, but i dont see any fps change from it so i dont bother right now

I'm pushing it more. Seems stable so far. May just have a bipolar card

 

[SirWendall]

Finally getting it to clock higher and make it stay stable

[Bananasplit_00]

Yay finaly after days of waiting for my new Accelero TwinTurbo III its finaly been shipped... iv waited a week for proccessing time... god damn it Norwegian companies  

[SirWendall]

I think I've pushed it as far as it'll go now

If I push the core past +120MHz it downclocks my boost. Even though I'm watercooling I hit 1532HMZ (boosted) but if I OC higher the boosted MHz goes down. My memory is too touchy to play with.

Well guys....I'm part of the 970 Alumni now. My 970 shorted out today. I'll be stuck with my 660ti for a couple of weeks :(

True

[Bananasplit_00]

yay finaly got my Acellero TwinTurbo III to work nice with my 970, it was the spacers that go on the core side that were way too tall so i just removed them and now it works great, got a pretty decent overclock on it and with lots of stuff running in the backround i got 2100 in Heaven on the settings i usiually run and at stock i got 1800  yay

Nice! I got to bench my 1070 in Firestrike

My 970 was at 1515MHz! I'm surprised it got that far before dying. Almost reached 1060 level

i would probably beat that if i botherd to close all the chrome tabs and stuff i have open right now. got 9771 with about 100 chrome tabs open and Paladins on the home screen open. will redo that run when i restart my computer lol

That Graphics Score is actually better than my 1060 G1! (2025MHz and stock memory speed)

Use graphics score! (Because the overall score is affected by CPU performance as well)

well graphics score i got 12199 but as i said i have lots of thing running right now, like Paladins, Discord, Chrome, ect.. so that number would probably be higher if i closed them

Yeah I noticed that by comparisons..

Thats why I added my post.

Was pleasantly surprised.
