Gpu Overclock not working

[jplshizzle]

I am trying to overclock my r9 270 but it will not work. I tried AMD overdrive and MSI afterburner. I set the core clock, memory clock, and power control to where I wanted the overclock to be but when I open the Witcher 3 or FurMark, the clocks on both memory and core do not go higher than the default settings. Then sometimes if I close AMD overdrive go back into AMD overdrive, the overclock settings are back to defaults. And yes, I have clicked "apply" after making the changes.

Using amd overdrive, i was able to get  my 270 to 1475 mhz on memory and 1000 mhz core clock. I had no problems

are you on windows 10? my 10 box doesn't work for overclocking my GPU anywhere even AMD Radeon settings do not work.

Could be a window's issue.

I tried those settings and still have the same problem.

That would suck if that is the case.

My overclock refuse to set. In fact, any changes to clock or memory speed fail to set even if lowering it. I haven't found a fix yet.

Just going to throw this out their. Could your card just be a bad overcloocker

I tried to overclock on a different computer that has windows 10 and it works.

I put the graphics card in a different computer and overclocked. It worked.

[danrey84]

Are there any different specs on either computer

No. That could be it. However, I have the latest drivers on the computer that did not work. The one that did work has older drivers.

No. The computer that is not working has an i5 6600k and 16gb ram. The one that did work has fx 6300 and 16gb ram.

Try a roll back on the computer which it doesn't work on then. Then report back. Make sure you DDU first too give yourself a nice fresh clean install of your drivers

Then that's most likely the culprit if their are no different specs on the computers just use DDU on that computer that doesn't work and download the older drivers that work.

Or Just reinstall the new drivers it just  could be corrupted

Well then its a problem with drivers if not then maybe it could be a problem with the motherboard or a corruption of OS

I rolled back the drivers and it worked.

I got it to work by rolling back the drivers.
