My gtx 770 doesent support any decent overclock ;(?

[Brazsty]

Hello everyone, my gtx 770 from msi (gaming edition) doesent support any overclocking anymore!? I used to do +100mhz on the core and +250mhz on the memory before and now it doesent even support that with +12 on the voltage? Could it be the new drivers or what? I can see that almost everyone can get it to 1306mhz/8000mhz.... And yes i know every card oc different but...?

 

Thank you for your answer

There shouldn't be a problem with the drivers aslongas you are on a stable release. Maybe you have just lost the silicone lottery badly. Have you tried the latest beta of MSi Afterburner to see if that helps?

Im at beta 12, ill try the newest, thanks for quick answer bro.

 

Ill let u know.

Just becuase I need to know. What driver version are you on and what do you use as a stress test?

Im on the 326.80 drivers, and i use "Uniqe Heaven Benchmark 4.0" as stress testing.

 

Btw, i tried the beta 14 of msi afterburner and tried with +12 on the voltage, +100 on the core and + +250 on the memory. Still crashes....

Pisses me off real good !

 

EDIT: my temps are just fine.

Dude you can't get that memory stable at that clock speed unless you pump some volts in it. Try backing the memory to +200MHz and the core clock speed to +80 and you should be fine.

I recommend trying one thing at the time. Set your memeory back to stock speeds and try and stress test the clock speeds. Memory speeds don't that much for games anyway

Yes, very good said! That's pretty much the first thing about overclocking. Never change two things at the same time, because if the system is not stable you wouldn't know where is the problem. Overclock the core first and then begin with the memory. Also check your temps. I recommend setting a custom fan curve in Afterburner.

It doesent handle +100 at the core and +0 at the memory (and that was with the voltage at +12) BUT it did handle +80/+200 at stock voltage

Overclocked +80/+200  http://prntscr.com/1nrzer

 

EDIT: Wich Preset should i test the oc on, i used extreme but is that why it crashes so often??

Glad to hear that. My card is also a very bad overclocker so these are the speeds which I obtained originally, without too much playing around with it.

At "Basic" preset i could get +125/+0 stable with +12 in voltage. Should i bench out from this preset instead or..?

No, it's not worth it. This card performs better when the memory clock speed is higher. I mean you will see better performance in benchmarks that way. 

 

With my overclock I can break the 40000 graphics score on 3DMark Vantage P

Thats awesome man, i wish my card was voltage unlocked... I think ill stay at +80/+200 with no voltage adjustments

 

Thanks for the help man !

No problem! if you have any further questions regarding overclocking the GTX 770 I'll be more than happy to answer them.

Hmm I must have an amazing card atm I'm sitting at 1250mhz/2100mhz no over-voltage .

You have to keep in mind, that every factory oced 770, can only add a little more coreclock.

They are near @ there limits.

Most 770 are 100% stable @ 1254-1306 MHz Boostclock and with 100% i don t mean it manages to finish any benchmarktest.

You have to test it with many games, like Metro LL/BF3/Grid2 etc

 

Memorywise you can add more but it won t bring an astonishing result.

With my 5 770 i could test with i could mostly add only 40-60 MHz on the core (factory oced cards Gigabyte/Evga SC/Inno ichill)

So try out 50 MHz on the core and believe me you won t get FPS like burning results even if you add 100 MHz on the core. (3-4 FPS more)

 

Only the Lightnings can add more voltage to get the card to 1350 MHz coreclock+, but really, it doesnt really matter a lot, your card is very fast with a Boostclock@ 1241 MHz+.

Actually memory clock speed does matter a lot! My overclocked Lighting edition card is on par with the GTX 780. 

[Duvar]

I meant it is not really a difference if you add +250 Mem oder +400 Mem, someone said it does matter if you play above Full HD resolution.

You can test it with +250 and +500 memclock and show us the results in games, there will be marginal differences.

In games the difference is 2-3 fps and it depends which games are we talking about, but in benchmarks it makes a huge difference, especially Unigine Vally.

Well yeah, my card is keeping stable in all games i try at decent oc's, but crashes in heavy benchmarks.

GUYS good news, i found a decent oc, 1241/8000mhz at STOCk voltage. Didnt crash once after 2 runs with extreme preset in heaven benchmark !

Try running 3DMark Vantage. If your system doesn't crash that means that your overclock will be stable no matter what.

 

Edit: I think that there is something wrong with your overclock... I get a 2923 score at the Extreme preset. The difference in the score can't be that drastic.

 

Check what are the effective boost clock speeds of your card and also temps.

Okey, ive found some realy nice and stable settings: 1267/8000mhz

It also survived 3 tests of extreme preset in 3dmark vantage: http://prntscr.com/1nz0mf

 

I wont push my card much more now, THANK YOU guys for the amazing help ive got here !
