Think i won the silicone Lottery! (980ti overclock)

[Badger906]

just unboxed my 980ti and decided to overclock it before anything! ive already got a 400mhz clock speed boost and ive not even touched the voltage yet!! its boosting to almost 1500mhz!

[Jaybird]

how about you run a stress test and let us know how it goes. 

 

 

Edit: just because you moved some sliders does not mean your card is stable.

^ Second that

that screen was while stress testing, kombuster had been running for 10minutes, be a bit hot if it was idle at 78c!

[Br3tt96]

Yeah, with 87mV I can hit 1800MHz, but I can't even run firestrike at 1400MHz with the volts all the way up...

Gratz! I heard that winning the silicon lottery is like getting that card above the one that you payed for. (Since that they figure out what card is what by just seeing which ones are not working the most) or I might be stupid a fairy told me that.

I consider hitting the silicone lottery high 1500's/1600's. And memory 7800-8200.

[Manny Calavera]

you could sell that forward for monies$$ ?

Nice overclock.  I am only able to manage a steady 1530( Max Boost) and +400 Memory overclock in all benchmarks and games.  I did however flash the bios to something else.  Prior to the bios, I was only able to Max Boost to 1501 (Briefly due to temps) and only +60 to the memory clock and run it stable in all benchmarks and games. Latest Hot Fix 353.38 also helped with stability.

whats the asic score?

whats the asic score?

whats ASIC?

[-iSynthesis]

whats ASIC?

Its a score that gpu-z tells you (right click the upper bar and select "read asic quality". It basicly determins how well a gpu overclocks, however in the past i've found it beeing fairly inaccurate with my own cards.

its says 69.8% is that bad or good lol

cant mean good or bad.. its about average i guess.

[-iSynthesis]

I guess 100% is the best, so better than average i'd say. Im at 58.9% however im able to overclock +200mhz on the core and +200-300MHz on Memory, without voltage change, thats why my opinion on asic score is meh..

btw it's not silicone. it's silicon.

[Wingfan]

did you run any benchmarks yet?

[Whorax]

Nothing like winning the silicone lottery! (.)(.)

[Badger906]

did you run any benchmarks yet?

yeah i bench marked it with kombuster at 1440p for about an hour, it turbo'd to about 1550mhz and had an average of 1300mhz, my main issue became heat, where it would thermal throttle and go back down to 1000mhz.

 

i lowered my over clock to 1250mhz which was stable, and no thermal throttling and it turbo'd up to about 1400mhz. somewhat considering a kraken g10 and liquid cooler, if i can keep it below 88c constantly i think i can push it a fair bit further.

[Wingfan]

can you bench it with Valley? im curious on what your score will be

my cpu is the weak link here.

on the Extreme HD with 8xAA

FPS: 82.6

Score: 3456

Min FPS: 26.1

Max: 154.6

 

Core speed: 1392mhz

Memory: 3550Mhz

temp: 83c

[BigDay]

until it passes 30 minutes in OCCT with error check enabled, i don't consider it stable.

What about 3 hours of killing floor to at all ultra settings at 4k!?

never skipped a beat, I call that stable lol.

at the end of the day bench marks are synthetic loads, GTA V, killing floor 2, battlefield hardline and loads of other games run flawlessly at 4k ultra at 60fps with no AA.

the only downside is its temperature rapidly increases to 88c and stays there. think I need a more aggressive fan curve as it never goes above 65% speed

synthetics give it a constant load, games dont do that (the load fluctuates) but if it runs good for you in games thats all that really matters. 

Yes you need a more aggressive curve lol but it might get really loud. I have mine topping out at 85% but with headphones on i dont hear it.

Reference coolers always sound like jets with high fan speeds. Aftermarket kits are quite nice. My sli is running 2x Accelero xtreme III coolers and with my oc tops out at 65° after a 2 hour burn, and the fans are nice and quiet.
