Posted February 7, 2017 Hey all, any recommendations for stable OCs on an MSI Gaming X RX 480 8GB? It's factory clock is 1310 MHz. I don't know much about GPU overclocking so some tips would also be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about GPU overclocking so some tips would also be appreciated. First option: I would go into afterburner (software) and max out voltage and power target/limit. Then I would bump the clockspeeds by 50mhz and test if it is stable, repeat until unstable, roll back. Second option: Don't touch the voltage or power target, rest just like option 1. Third option: Increase power target, but not voltage, rest like option 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everything runs smoothly, then you're fine. If there are crashes, freezes, or any other funky stuff popping up on your screen, then you'll want to dial back the overclock.

Good suggestion with the games. However you should try a variety of them. I had my gpu undevolted for a long time and it was fine. Bought deus ex, 10 minutes in and it crashed. Easy to reproduce, but only in deus ex. So yeah, use demanding titles and as many as possible.

For me, I had my GPU undervolted and it worked fine in most games i have and then crashes in cs:go (almost costing me a game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know much about GPU overclocking so some tips would also be appreciated. The 480 is a pretty hot GPU with little headroom for overclocking on the stock coolers. Not worth the heat to pull 1-2 fps. My sapphire 480 runs about 70- 80*c (depending on game) with no oc and fan curve running just high enough to keep it at that temp without being stupid loud.

It stays cool very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 9, 2017 Still haven't oc'd my rx 480 rs. But when benching it the highest temps I saw was 67c. Guess I got a good card. Even though I'm not sure I should OC it till I get a better motherboard.
