Cant Overclock GPU..

[Ebkleks]

Hello guys once agian..

 

(Msi Rx 580 8GB+)

 

So i have the problem or better said im unable to Overclock my graphics card, if i try everything freezes and crashes (sometimes the whole pc). 

I first used the Gaming APP from Msi with the overclock thingy just for testing and i saw that the clockspeed stayed the same.

If i want to use Msi afterburner i cant change anything or when it does it crashes..

 

HELP

Hi,

do you know what driver version you're currently on for your graphics cards, there are quite a few AMD drivers that have messed up overclocking before, so if you can tell me, I can help you out.

cards are not guaranteed to be overclockable how high a card can be overclocked is determined by random some gpus will overclock better than others due to differences in the gpu die. this is know as the silicon lottery since its random

At least on r9 290 that one broke overclocking with 3rd party tools. Have you tried AMDs own Wattman?

if i do it either crashes or sets my fps to 20-30 fps in every game..

are you upping the voltage?  Don't do this without understanding the risks, I would suggest reading up on overclocking before proceeding.

I use Sapphire Trixx to overclock my RX480, I can get an additional 134mhz out of it with +78mV vcore.  But I did do fairly well in the silicone lottery on that card.
