I have a MSI GTX 970 gaming 4G and want to know what your overclocks are. My current overclock is +60 on the core and none on the memory clock. My current temps are 72 degrees Celsius. What are you getting and what do you recommend for my overclock?  BTW MY BASE CLOCK IS 1150mhz

my rough OC results for my EVGA 970 in afterburner are:

power limit 105%

Core clock - 105+

Memory clock - 400+

with fan speed set to my own user profile (don't care for silence under 60 degrees so i have it at about 40%)

 

I say rough because while i am passing bench marks with higher settings i have had issues in game with some pathces/tearing after playing for 4-5 hours so i am just slightly tweaking

What is everyone's actual boost clocks after their overclocks? In the 1500 range?

 

My card boosts to about 1430MHz

Wow, I guess I don't need to be so disappointed that my 970 can't hit 1500.

Most MSI or G1 gaming cards I've seen hit at LEAST 1500mhz but with a lot hitting 1550mhz or higher. There's always the unlucky ones though! For example my G1 gaming hits 1580 mhz stock voltage.

First build every: Intel Core i7 4790K, Asus Z97-A/USB 3.1 motherboard, Kingston HyperX FURY 1866 2x8 16GB Kit, Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970 G1 Gaming, Corsair Obsidian 450D Black ATX Mid Tower, Samsung 850 EVO 250GB & 3TB Toshiba HDD, EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G2, Corsair H100i GTX 240mm, Gigabyte Bluetooth 4.0/Wifi Card, Logitech G700S. Running on Windows 10

Surface Pro 3: i5 4300U with 8GB of ram and 256GB SSD. Running Windows 10 Pro

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I guess I just need to spend more time finding my stable overclock. 1379mhz boost out of the box isn't that bad though I guess.

It's hard to tell. The MSI Gaming 4G is not a binned card, so you will be under the mercy of the silicon lottery.
