Overclocking R9 390

Aleksbgbg · February 18, 2016

I have an MSI R9 390 8G GPU.

I get just about 60FPS on GTA V with 4x AA, and everything else on very high/ultra.

I want to overclock it to get a few more frames on some games, and I think I will disable my second monitor that stays still (during gaming) which is 1920x1080@60 so a few useless FPS.

My PSU is an XFX XTR 750W 80+Gold.

I will do 50+ power draw and go from there, then back off if I get crashes.

Also, my monitor can go to 75Hz reportedly (although I get a warning, so I'm not sure) and it is a 60Hz monitor, so should I make it 75Hz for games like league of legends (it won't burn or anything?)

Overclocking on 3xx series is mostly very difficult, as it is already very highly clocked, and i'm not sure of monitor overclocking.

I've had my monitor overclocked to 75hz for over a year. It'll just void your warranty and make it die a little quicker but imo it's worth it for the extra smoothness.
