980 Ti Overclock?

[Hopsasa]

My 980 Ti is Classified is floating around 1378mhz in 3d mark with no overclocks. But it says on the website it only goes up to 1190 mhzboost clock. I got 1582mhz in Unigine im super confused!!!

Ignore what unigine says, it's wrong

When my computer crashed after making the overclock. I went back on it was back to default but i still got better 3D mark score? Did it get stuck in an overclock?

The clocks they give on spec sheets are very very conservative. This is just due to the fact that if anyone's card happens to not boost as high as it claims they could sue for false advertising. While if it boosts higher everyone cheers and says "YAY free performance". The boost clocks listed are typically guaranteed clocks that any card will be able to do. This way they won't have to deal with any claims of false advertising or any other crap.

What happened is you probably had less stuff running since you just restarted the PC.

 

How much was the score increased by?

I got more interesting data. While GPU-Z is open it scans the highest GPU Core Clock. I had it open during some gaming and maybe one benchmark. My pc then crashed when testing out overclocking benchmarks while GPU-Z was not open. A few minutes ago i opened it and looked at my highest reading it was 1190. I then ran a benchmark with GPU-Z open and it got a new max of 1343mhz! Is it possible to reach so many mhz at stock?

 

 

edit: its like my overclock became my stock clock LOL

You are probably right as it only hits the clocks when i benchmark it stays 1190 when i play games.

Yes, nVidia GPU Boost will increase your clock speed further than the manufacturer listed spec.

For example my 980Ti boosts to 1440Mhz out of the factory default settings (1190Mhz). I have a shit one though.

Same here 59% asic and cant overclock at all like if i go 75% core clock it crashed lol.

 

edit: It only uses GPu Boost when needed right cause it didnt do it in TF2 it was capped 1190 but in the test it went full ham 1350

What drivers and OS are you using?

I'm on Windows 10 and regretting it - I've had a nightmare of a time.

That may be hindering you also.

Im on WIndows 10 and got the newest NVIDIA driver. But what does this have to do with me getting more Mhz in benchmark than in game?

Some of my games crashed under normal stock settings with 355.98. They would run most benchmarks fine, and would easily run them at higher clocks.

Load up a game. Bam. See y'all.

358.50 (touch wood) seems to have miraculously fixed this issue for me.

Well TF2 is still not using its max clock speed when i play it. But i think its supposed to be like this. Its only when i benchmark it goes up 1347

 

update: loaded up CS GO and it clocked to max 1347 which was the same max in the benchmarks. May be a bug with TF2
