does fallout 4 not like gpu overclocks?

[DominicNikon]

i was playing star wars battlefront for hours at 1500mhz no issue and then i loaded up fallout 4 and it crashed the minute it loaded up. does fallout 4 not like overclocks or is my overclock just not stable?

Overclock not stable

Same happens to me,i can use +300 on the memory,not more. If i put +70 on the core it crashes. I use a 970 btw I can run 1550 on other games but not with Fallout

Your overclock isn't stable. I've ran pretty bad overclocks and gotten FO4 to run for a while before artifacting. No game particularly doesn't like GPU overclocks because really your overclock might be a lot worse than someone else's.

You might have to increase the voltage (carefully) and tune down the core clock.  I like to use msi afterburner for mine.  Try running either hidden valley or 3DMark for awhile see if it crashes or flickers at all at what you currently have it set to.

 

EDIT:  I have had a few issues with Fallout 4 specifically so I have a seperate profile on afterburner that has the core clock toned down significantly.

i ran 3d mark firestrike firestrike extreme and firestrike ultra at +150mhz core and all finished

More like FO4 just doesnt like GPUs in general

Yeah I was the same way I had to tone mine down.  At best my +150mhz core clock would last in Fallout 4 with no artifacts and crash about 30mins into gameplay.

my 760 before my 980 crashed at +1 mhz at lest im getting a higher core clock then i did with my 760

Had similar issues with Fallout 4, even the slightest overclock on the core made the game/driver crash. All other games ran fine. 

is there a way to make a overclock run in every where else but not fallout 4? like when you load up fallout 4 the gpu goes to stock and then exit fallout 4 and then it goes back to overclocked settings?

[DominicNikon]

Hm I am not sure about that, I made an extra Fallout 4 "profile" in Afterburner which I manually applied before each startup. 

ok
