GTX 780 Ti overclocking

[Botasky]

Hi guys I have two questions about overclocking my 780 Ti

1. On my old 570 DC2 when it crash from overclocking, the driver just stop working and restart itself no system restart required, but on my 780 Ti when it crash the whole computer just stop working and I have to restart it. Is this normal for 780 Ti or mine not working correctly?   

 

Forget the 2nd question, I got the answer for that  

2. I can only push my card's clock offset to +240 with max over voltage(+75mV). I've seen a lot of reviewer can overclock their 780 Ti much much more than mine, oc3d overclock 780 Ti to +250 without overvoltage and slick overclock 780 ti to +300. To other 780 Ti user, how much you can overclock your 780 Ti and should I try return my card and hopefully get a better one?     

 

Thanks you all

Returning a card to get a better overclock is a little bit unethical, the manufacturer's job is to get you a card that runs at the frequency they set and anything higher is icing on the cake. They are not responsible for being unable to push it farther than it's rated to go.

You're insane. Dial the clock back down because it's unstable and you won't be getting crashes. You're not supposed to overclock in the first place, it's only something you're able to do and if you can't add 250MHz to the core then you simply can't.

You've also got to remember that reviewers get sent 'Review samples' which are cherry picked to show the card in the best light. Getting a card that performs like review samples is a rare and exciting thing, so don't get your expectations too high. Hope this helps

why dont you let the Drivers do the Overclocking... Set your thermal output and let it run

Yeah, I always took that in my consideration, I just wanted to know that my card performance is average or lower than average, If it's perform average I'm perfectly fine with it

You can't return a card simply because it doesn't overclock well.
