Should i overclock the GTX 980 Ti?

[Hopsasa]

i got the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB SC+ and im playing in 1440p should i overclock? I have never tried it before and im a little bit confused.

Why? even a GTX970 has enough power to run a lot of games at 1440p, 60fps

[mattonfire]

For Banter.

There's no reason to overclock if you are getting satisfying performance.

[Avalen]

Why not? It's free performance. Watch a video guide if you're unsure, it's quite simple really.

Yeah. Minecraft, CS:GO, LoL, and Solitaire.

OC can reduce the Cards Lifespan. Only OC when you need the extra Performance. No way you need extra Performance with a 980Ti yet.

As soon as I my clients computers are running above stock, they are removed from my 10 year support.

[AresKrieger]

Yeah. Minecraft, CS:GO, LoL, and Solitaire.

GTA 5 lol

Yea apparently its not 1440p if all the settings aren't maxed out... lmao

But the settings were set to high with 2x mssa on

I'm talking about all games. I get that shit all the time that it doesn't count because its on high/medium 

[SkilledRebuilds]

Wait until it performs LESS than expected in games before you do.

 

Why bleed excess when you don't need to...?

If you're reaching your monitor's refresh rate cap (presumably 60 Hz) in the games you are playing, then there would be quite literally no benefit to it. If it's a high refresh rate/Gsync monitor, then there would be a quantifiable benefit, though I question whether or not you'd actually need it. A 980 Ti performs very, very well at 1440p.

 

You're probably going to have this card for a few years, you could always save overclocking for another time if you aren't sure you even need to. It may start to make more sense to overclock once you're trying to play games in 2017 with this card rather than 2015.
