Could be that you lost the memory silicone lottery.

Posted

I am trying to overclock my 970s in SLI. I manage to get the core clock to +180. The cards are stable both in stress tests and in games. However, when I touched the memory even +25 it will pass the stress tests but crashes in games like BF4 and The Witcher 3 (BSOD and complete black screen). 

 

I just wanted to know if anyone who has or had the 970 experience this problem when overclocking.

 

I have the EVGA GTX 970 ACX 2.0 (not the ACX 2.0+).

 

Thanks.

Yeah, I guess :(...

 

Also, does overclocking the memory help in any way with the FPS?

Not as much as core clock does

970's were made with two brands of memory.. Hynix and samsung, the former does not overclock at all according to most users on this forum, the latter can usually hit 8ghz effective

Both of my cards are Samsung but mine doesn't even overclock at all...

 

Guess I am in the minority then.

I want to add that I've heard BF4 dislikes overclocking.

Hmm... interesting then I'll have to find another game to see if my cards are stable.

you must be, it was widely found on the 970 oc thread that samsung memory could hit 8ghz usually and that Hynix memory would usually not oc at all
