      What's your OC?

    • @Marco-cl9pb
      @Marco-cl9pb 9 років тому

      UniCrafter on Afterburner values it's 130% on the power limit, +110 on the core clock ( about 1502Mhz with turbo boost) and +520 on the memmory clock. btw it's a gigabyte WF gpu. Mind that every gpu is different even it's the same brand and model but still this card overclock's very well for any model, I had other gpu's before and they could OC too but the performance boost was never this good

    • @Sonicpants69
      @Sonicpants69 8 років тому

      +ethan king But how long does it maintain that core boost clock though? I've found that pushing my Galax Exoc 970 past +1446 causes my card to hit its 125% power limit repeatedly in games like Battlefield 4 and War Thunder, causing it to downclock suddenly before clocking up again (graphs show this)

  • @pye53
    @pye53 3 роки тому +2

    As a complete beginner regarding overclocking it was refreshing to hear in simple terms how to go about it, I have applied core clock increases already and will be heading to the memory clock next. Thanks so much Jayz.

    Built my system 4 years ago
    I7-4790K GTX 960 8gb ram 250gb ssd boot
    Stock: FPS:36.5, Score:1525 Min FPS:19.0 Max:66.7
    OC: FPS:40.2 Score: 1683 Min FPS:20.5 Max: 73.6
    Definitely not the biggest improvements but they are definitely better than none! It's time for me to upgrade just haven't gotten around to doing so yet.

  • @Aimela136
    @Aimela136 9 років тому +4

    Correction to your correction: MSI Afterburner displays an offset for Nvidia GPUs that specifically support GPU Boost, rather than Nvidia cards at large. So, if you have an older Nvidia card(say, a GTX 550 Ti), it will show the absolute clock value.
    If AMD cards gain a similar feature to GPU Boost in the future, then you'll see the same thing there.

      Yeah either when Temps get too high OR when you have to start adding a lot more voltage for a very minimal gain. Most new cards have a voltage max allowed unless you load a custom bios onto it.

    Endless paradox: If you overclock your graphics card, you will have the same performance as the next tier card, but if you bought that one AND overclocked it, it would be better, even similar to the next tier one, but then if you could buy that one and overclock it, you would...

    I learned so much from this video! I maxed the power limit and temp limit to start. Then I slowly increased the Core Clock and got my msi 970 core boost clock of 1329 increased to 1505 "stable". I say "stable" because I used The Division Benchmark on Ultra Preset and not sure how that compares to Valley Benchmark. I gained an average of 4-5fps without messing with any other settings. Needless to say I have more testing and learning to do but I had a lot of fun using this method, thanks again Jay!

    here i am on new years eve of 2022, and this video still holds up great.
    Specs: 1050ti 4gb, intel i5 7600k (4GHz boost), 8gb of ram.
    Running on an LG UW monitor (2560x1080)
    So started off with a score of 1249 on Heaven Benchmark, after around 2 hours of tweaking, managed to get the score up to 1376. FPS went from 49.6 avg to 54.6 which i think is pretty solid considering i don't have a super beefy setup and that was on high settings, no anti aliasing or tessellation. Eventually managed to get the boost clock up to +175MHz, core voltage up to +40% and memory clock up to +180MHz. Deffo could spend more time on this and maybe push this old card harder, but at the moment pretty satisfied with what i'm pulling especially considering that this PC was built by 11 year old me and my cousin way back in 2016 (its only had a new GPU for around 4 years and the CPU was replaced around 3 years ago).
    Thanks jayz and happy new year to all.

    This is sort of not the right video for this question but I'll give it a go anyway... should I upgrade my GPU right now or should I wait until a deal pops up like around Black Friday or something? I have a 760 and I have had my eyes on the G1 Gaming 970. What do you guys think? Should I wait until the new generation or pull the trigger now?

    • @brospros6327

      +TranceForLyfe How's your 760 doing right now? If you're fairly happy with it, then I'd wait until black friday and save some money. If not, go ahead and get the 970, the gigabyte version is amazing and I won't be upgrading for a while.

    • @TranceForLyfe
      @TranceForLyfe 9 років тому

      ***** I mean it's good but it really struggles in some games like Witcher 3 where I would have liked to have a consistent 50 fps at least on max settings. Other games like Evil Within murder it. I wanna be completely prepared for Fallout 4, Deus Ex, Rainbow Six and a few others. I don't think my 760 will cut it much longer..

      I personally would say - as long as you can play your games, keep it.
      I went from a GTS 250 (complete breakdown, not even recognized on different mobos) to a HD 7870.
      And when that got a memory problem i swapped to a R9 280X.
      I can play the games i want just fine, so i will stick with it till it doesn't work anymore.
      (and no, no OC on any of those cards, as i was able to gain 60 fps stable or was CPU-limited till the time the broke).

    • @TranceForLyfe
      @TranceForLyfe 9 років тому

      ShOcKiNgReAliTy e I've already decided not to go for a 780 or another 700 series card altogether, as that isn't really a step forward more like a side-step. Also, I don't trust someone enough to buy a used piece of hardware like a video card. Right now it'll either be a 970 G1 or I don't upgrade at all. I'm torn.

    Thanks alot. Got my Zotac GTX 970 to +220 Core Clock and +350 Memory Clock. Increasing Core Voltage didn't help increase stability at all for me, it actually got me brownscreens with complete crashes (no overheat, was at about 75°C). Even with a +25mV increase in Core Voltage I couldn't get either Core or Memory clock to run more than 20 mins stable without crashes at more than the mentioned values. Still got me a 20% average framerate increase (~50 fps to ~60 fps) in Heaven Benchmark so it's fine by me :)

    Power Limit -- +108%
    Core Clock -- +171MHz

      Step 3. Get a screwdriver and take the small screws off the side panel on your case.

    This video has been really helpful. I was considering replacing my 2 x Asus ROG Strix GTX 1080 A8G GPU's for an RTX 2080TI as I was not happy with the performance, but having overclocked them now I am much happier. probably still will replace them, but not as soon as I thought now.
    My stock results on the benchmark were as follows:
    FPS: 91.8
    Score: 3842
    Min FPS: 37.2
    Max FPS: 150.6
    After overclocking I got much better results. Apparently these cars can go to 2050mhz up from their stock of 1866mhz (I think) but I wasn't able to keep them that high without artefacts - only 1 or 2 and very rare, but enough to bother me. My OC results were as follows:
    FPS: 125.0
    Score 5231
    Min FPS: 42.0
    Max FPS: 227.0
    You can see a huge difference in the average FPS and Max FPS that I am very happy with.
    My end points in Afterburner were as follows for anybody interested who may have the same GPU/GPU's:
    Core Voltage: +100 (will not let me push it any higher)
    Power Limit: 120
    Core Clock: +130 (Got it to +145 but gave rare artefacts as mentioned above that became more common when I started increasing the memory MHZ)
    Memory Clock: +700 (managed to reach +740 and +140 on the Core Clock when the artefacts began appearing noticeably)
    As They are air cooled, I have setup a custom fan profile that keeps the main GPU sitting around 68 Degrees Celsius when running the benchmark for over an hour and the second GPU at about 51 Degrees Celsius.
    I increased my CPU Overclock as well to 4800mhz and got a better score, but was not happy with the temps being as high as they got (high 70 Degrees Celcius), so my current CPU overclock is at 4700Mhz. It's base is 3700mhz - 4300mhz (with boost).
    Just thought I would share and say thanks for the video even though this video is a few years old now :)
