Hi all,
I recently used Afterburner to overclock my GPU and the graphics memory.
I also modded the card's BIOS to allow a max power of 65.5 watts.
The memory is set to 1600 Mhz from 1350 MHz and the core boost to 1285MHz from 1137MHz.
It's very stable (in terms of not freezing or any artifacts in games) and I am happy....... FPS in gaming has jumped up nicely and the temps are staying below 50C during gaming.
But here's the strange bit. The core clock is not boosting to 1285MHz but 1363MHz under heavy load! The Core Voltage increase is still set to 0.
At other times it is dropping as low as 135MHz or 1085MHz depending on the load which is fine as I would hope it would remain variable depending on requirements.
But I cannot make it boost to the settings I have in Afterburner. It's always a lot higher.
If I alter the memory frequency (down) then the max core clock will also be a bit lower, but still not 1285MHz as per the settings.
GPU-Z confirms that the settings are as per Afterburner. But during games or when running Furmark the core clock is going to 1363MHz.
I even increased the core clock boost to 1300MHz and got a reading of 1400MHz under heavy load. It was still stable, but I'm a little concerned as to why it is going above the settings to such an extent.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks.
