CAM for overclocking

[App4that]

So I've been playing around with NZXT's monitoring software CAM today. Freaking amazing for monitoring but the overclocking is weird, really weird. I was using +50 on the core using Precision X and got a core clock of 1446MHz, with CAM I'm under 1400MHz, if I add 100MHz I'm still under 1450 most of the time. My memory seems to have an effect too, if I lower the memory the boost speed increases. So far in game no problems, and the performance seems pretty consistent with what I saw with Precision X. Only downside is there's no way to easily cap the FPS with CAM like there was with Precision X (useful with Fallout 4) and my system RAM voltage doesn't show correctly under the RAM information, but does on the Motherboard information.

 

Wondering if anyone has had luck with the graphics card overclocking using CAM or if I should jump back to Precision X.

 

And if you are not familiar with CAM, here's a breakdown.

I'd jump back since that software has been unreliable by comparison from what I've seen, but who knows it might work fine for your system though I think the software needs some improving before I'd use it.

It works great for monitoring, and the overlay is the best I've seen. But now it's not even applying an overclock...

I'd agree if it's monitoring was accurate for everyone but it's been rather unpredictable for some reason, I concur the program looks great though

Agreed. I got it to work the first couple times (despite it showing a wrong stock base clock). Now it isn't consistent enough at applying the overclock to work for me. I'm sticking with Afterburner. I did finally install Precision X and I'll start playing around with it. It would be a fantastic addition to CAM if NZXT could get tuning working and true base clock/OC clock readings.
