overclocking the shit out of my card

[Fennie]

i was bored.. and i decided to see what are the limits that my gtx 1050 ti gigabyte oc edition can do..

and the overclock profile is total bullshit cause the thing can stand up to 1640 boost clock instead of the overclocked 1455 mode it comes with..

it may eat my electricity bills but thats not a huge problem

i guess it could be interesting for someone....

@Fennie

this is not even an overclock, it's more like a boost clock, 10 series cards overclock to 2000mhz+ easily

Run the Heaven DX11/DX12 benchmark. I've gotten my card overclocked to 1700-1800MHz for mining (GTX 950, yes it didnt mine well) but found out it was extremely hecking unstable and the card was even unstable at 20MHz above stock settings (they REALLY pushed that card my god)

it wasnt a good idea. lmao

then how high does it actually reach under 3D load (games, rendering software etc)? GPU boost kicks in at those work to push clocks even higher. I'm not sure if Gigabyte's software read that, you might need GPU-Z.

 

With a stock power limit of 120w and max power limit of 150w it surely wont burn a hole in your wallet through power draw, but not hitting 2GHz is definitely disappointing. Even 1050ti without the 6pin connector mostly do 1800MHz without much trouble as long as you know what you're doing.

hows furmark to you?

Furmark is rubbish. Runs much lower clocks compared to games because it's too stressful.

 

I'd try games with maximum graphics quality, or Heaven Benchmark with every setting cranked up as high as possible (except resolution, that can stay the same as your monitor)

out of the box = with 1480MHz setting?

i mean out of the box software

all i could do with what im given

so it's the 1640mhz setting without touching power limit?

[Fennie]

i did up the power target to max and the volts to 10%

but basically yea

@Jurrunio

This is the highest and the most stable i could get it

heaven benchmark do tend to have slightly higher readings than other apps like GPU-Z and Afterburner, but 2.1GHz is still impressive

With a 1050 ti? Hardly
