This is by far the toughest GPU to OC I've ever had.
It's very finicky, sometimes it'll pass Heaven with +40 core sometimes it won't, even with temps in check and +37Mv.
Here's what I've come up with:
2 full passes of Heaven, DX11 with AAx8 and Anisotropyx16, Tessalation Normal. This is what I'm using to test the stability.
I use Nvidia Inspector to overclock.
+20 core no extra voltage passed Heaven once.
+40 Core and no extra voltage failed Heaven.
+40 core and +12.5Mv failed Heaven.
+40 core and max volts (1.2) passes 2 runs but fails just after starting the 3rd run.
+50 core and giving it the most voltage (1.2Volts) passes 2 run of Heaven and passed further than the settings above during the 3rd run of Heaven.
+60 core and +70 mem and max volts (1.2) was enough for an all day Borderlands Pre-Sequel session, for the most part. (Crashed twice. I also saw artifacts with +70 core)
I don't understand what the deal is. I don't think I should need +37.5Mv just to get +50 on the core let alone tweaking the memory...
I have the card plugged into the bottom PCIe slot, which means it only gets PCIe 2 @x4 bandwidth..... (The res is too close to fit the card in the top slot)'
Should I flash a BIOS to this card?
Any voltage unlocks out there? I tried the Afterburner 1.3Volt trick and AB reports 1.3 volts but Nvidia Inspector said otherwise..
The card in question is this one from our review on it. As you see, Matt go up to 1241core, where I at best muster 1189 or so.
Could it be my PSU is overloaded?
