Struggling with GPU OC

[stupat78]

Hi, I am trying to OC my GTX 1070 ti but am struggling to get my head round what is involved. I've downloaded MSI afterburner, GPU-Z etc but i'm getting nowhere near the max clock on the card and it's crashing when i'm running heaven benchmark.

I have been using the toms hardware GPU OC guide but keep running into issues.

Does anyone have an idiots guide to OC my GPU?

what clock speeds are you trying

[stupat78]

I was going for +200 core clock but keep getting crashes when running stress test. The max is roughly +500 core clock but i'm getting no where near that

200 is too high, GPU boost 3 already clocks the card above its rated boost speeds.

Are you going straight for +200? When I overclocked my card I started by increasing the clock speed in increments of +25 until I got above +200 and went down to increments of +5.

No I was going up incrementally but to be honest I have no clue what I am doing.

My Zotac 1070 amp since its already pre OC'd so far is not even worth overclocking, cant even get 50mhz more out of it.

 

I just flashed the extreme version bios and left it.

its very simple, if its crashing you are going to far. Remember to set a more aggressive fan curve if the card is running hot.

I've got a GTX 780 reference in case you didn't see my signature =)

Need to ensure the card runs fine stock. Run a unigine program and watch all the stats from the card.

Power usage, voltage, max core clock, temp. 

 

Power and voltage limits. 

 

Then go from there, +25 on the core and test. Turn power to max, keep going +25 on the core till it crashes or artifacts.
