Minimum GPU OC you actually notice?

[martward]

Hi everyone,

 

I recently purchased a GTX 950, and I'm very pleased with it.

I play Witcher 2, The vanishing of Ethan Carter and CS:GO, getting 55-62 FPS with the first two games and aroun 200 for CS:GO.

I wanted to try a little overclocking today, to see if I can get the first two to a steady 60FPS, but for some reason I didn't get any change in FPS at all.

I used EVGA PrecisionX 16 and oc'ed the gpu core with +80MHz and the memory with +115MHz.

Is this just too little or am I doing something wrong? 

 

Thanks

so you overclocked and got the first 2 games to a steady 60 fps but cs:go didnt change at all?

Oh sorry, I wasn't very clear. No I don't see any improvement in any of the games.

I didn't expect a lot, but at least like 3 fps.

Minimum of 25% performance increase before it's really noticeable. Anything less than that is only noticeable in synthetics and numbers and harder to notice from your eye.

my GTX 760 went up +30hhz core and  +110mhz memclock  on precision x

Oh wow I'm not sure whether I'm going to get that with this GPU.

I've noticed generally higher minimums rather than maximums in OC'd GPUs.

my GTX 960 doesn't even get 200 fps on CS:GO at max settings only about 160 to 180

also stress test your gpu after you've overclocked and stupid question here.

did you actually apply the Overclock settings?

Depends on the fps. Anything more than like 5-10fps will be fairly noticeable, especially when it drops.

[Megahurt]

It depends, if you're cpu limited you're not gonna see any difference no matter how much you OC. 1 fps at 60Hz is about 1,7 % performance difference, so you'd need a 2-3 % overclock (it doesn't scale perfectly) to see a 1fps increase.

I believe I dialed one setting down in CS:GO, but IforgotI which one ^^. Yeah I did apply, but I might try different software, maybe that'll help.

Could be the CPU, though I would be a little disappointed if my xeon would "bottleneck" my gtx950 in relatively older games.

I check it with a frame counter, my eyes are not so good I could see the extra frame per second

Yea I'd say there is a massive difference between the loading of my 980ti at stock (1318 or so boost) and overclocked to 1507. Even games I have vsync on I notice much better temps (as it doesn't have to work as hard) and lower utilization to keep a smoother 60 fps.

I HIGHLY advise you to never use precision x. For some reason if I have it open , I lose 10-15 fps in all games.I turn it off it gains 10-15fps. Don't know why but just use msi afterburner. Pres x is bad

Yea with how well afterburner works with every single card on the market, I would NEVER recommend using a different software suite. It just simply is the best.
