Okay, here is the problem,

I have two friends in two different countries, one with a Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 + V750 PSU and a maximus ranger, updated to the last BIOS of the card and he cant OC not even 20mhz.
And an other friend with an EVGA GTX 970 SC with asus mITX board and XFX 650 PSU he has the same problem. Anyone else here might want to share if you have the same problem?


I have tried drivers reinstall bios update and nothing happens.

I know about the luck of the draw but 2 cards in 2 people i know in 2 different countiries with 0 OC ability seems abit strange to me.

Define "can't OC". Is it "the cards get unstable" or "the OC doesn't apply and the card remains at stock clocks"?

Try driver 361.75 - the newer ones are crap

Also, use MSI AB for OCing, push power and voltage to the max.

Drivers Crash each time on both TDR error if I am not mistaken. Also both are running win 10

MSX is an unstable mess but the recent Nvidia drivers are also unstable - 361.75 is the last stable one

What is MSX? Emulation of some kind in windows that might be interfering ?

MSX = Windows 10 (MS = Microsoft, X = 10 :D)
