How can I overclock?

[WokeUp]

Hey guys I have a evga gtx 980 ti 6GB SC and I want to know how to overclock it I tried msi afterburner but It does not seem to work... if your wondering why I am over clocking its because when I run gta 5 1080 on max settings I get 60 fps almost all the time but sometimes it goes down to 40 or 50 so I want to overclock it a little.

What do you mean it doesn't work?

A small overclock isn't really going to make a difference though (Assuming it's running at boost speed and it's completely the GPU when it drops to 40FPS, you'll need a 50% overclock to bring it up to 60FPS) and it could depend on other things, like your CPU being overloaded or the game wanting stuff from storage but storage can't keep up.

I have a i7 5930K overclocked at 4.7Ghz and a 2tb Hdd and a 128 ssd but gta is on the hdd

Are you hitting apply? Sounds dumb, but happened to me once....

 

Assuming yes, can you post some load screenshots please?

overclocking gpu is preety easy 

 

you can take my word ' never scare of bsod because to get something you have to lose like to get performance you may need to lose your windows '

 

just crank up some sliders download cinebench r15 and test open gpl and when fps r better you r done

 

my own eg

 

amd 7770hd sapphire 

before it was 30 fps and now they r 91 fps 

 

my values r 

gpu clock 1020 mhz

memory clock 1180 mhz

power +20%

try you

best of luck and i use amd override

also make sure you have to apply overclocking at system startup thing checked.

I put the core clock +510 and my pc froze when I hit run on cinebench

OFC it would freeze.. +510 is asking for trouble.

 

Try +50 as your starting point. If it works, move in +20 steps at a time.

good sir, if you were able to get a plus +510 MHz oc without flashing the bios and cranking the voltage to extremely unsafe levels that will degrade you GPU faster than usain bolt. you would of gotten a gpu hand made by our lord and savior GabeN himself which he blessed with magnificent magic. and he must of also chose you as the chosen one of the gods who shall lead the pc masterace to the complete and utter obliteration of the console peasants!
