Overclocking Trouble

[Starelementpoke]

Tried overclocking my HIS 7950 in MSI Afterburner, and crashed immediately when I started furmark. You may think I set it too high, but I only raised the memory speed and gpu core speed by like 10mhz. Anyone got any ideas why this is happening? Currently using crimson 15.12 drivers.

A: Too poor to get said games. B: Can't afford 3dMark Either.

No reason to be a dick, rookie.

 

Fur mark is fine for quick stability tests. But it does put an extra hard and repetitive strain on the GPU.

You might have got a poor overclocking GPU and there is nothing you can do about it. What are the actual core clocks you are getting?

are you overclocking for sport?

from what you're telling us you don't have any games

Let me rephrase, I have games, just none intense enough to be worth bench marking

Well current it's 925mhz for core clock, and 1250mhz for memory clock. Raised each about 10 when it crashed, and I doubt there's a gpu bad enough where it won't go up by 10mhz.

try another stress test see if it crashes

That's nice to know.

indeed, you can also get it on steam if you perfer

It doesn't crash at stock, but I bump it up by 10 and it does. Tried 5 times before now.

It says it cost money on steam...

unlikely that your card is that shit at overclocking.. just try another program or a demanding game

Not necessarily a demanding game, but when I went into skyrim and walked around a bit with the overclock, it crashed.

nope, still a demo

Ah, so It'd be under demo...

hmm it sound like its unstable.. that is a terrible overclocking card lol

Yesh *nods head*

Is it really possible for a card to be that shit at overclocking?

Is it really possible for a card to be that shit at overclocking?

yes

and if you don't have any stresful games worth benchmarking...

 

are you overclocking for sport??

yes.. but unlikely.
