I can get my (SLI) Strix 980ti OC's to boost well over 1500 Mhz but I cannot play every game like that (obviously SLI stability can be more tedious vs a single gpu). This is not to say that your particular 970 is not a very capable card, just that you might be going about it in the wrong manner (possibly mislead by what Valley is doing/showing). I can run Valley for an hour maxed out at 4k and yet Rise of the Tomb Raider can push my cards harder within minutes. Also trek554 is absolutely correct in that Valley is not what you want to use to judge system stability regarding gaming, many games are more demanding than Valley (Rise of the Tomb Raider, Witcher 3, The Division, heck even Crysis 3). If you dont do proper stress tests then you're not doing Overclocking properly.Īctually if you are reading that 1600 Mhz off of Valley it's likely wrong, often Valley does not report accurate core clock.
Hell that's just for GPU, for Processors people do 12 hour stress tests!. You need to do burn runs for a few hours to really make sure that OC can handle anything you give it.
But you might wanna listen to Trek when it comes to hardware, been seeing him in these forums for a long time and he's always knowledgeable when it comes to hardware and benchmarks.īut from me, there is no way to make sure an overclock is stable just by running benchmarking tools. Every freaking video card today markets overclocking tools even though the card itself cannot handle much more, its all marketing tactics. Unless your card came with hardwire capability then no it is not designed for overclocking. If my card temp is good and I'm not getting any crashs or artifacts in my games its stable. So just because your card couldn't handle a higher OC doesn't mean mine can't. I can see it run up to exactly the speed I set it to OC at and I can play Doom and run Unigine all night without any issues at all. Yeah whatever buddy, my card is designed specifically for OCing and thus came with all the software to change and monitor every setting. for example Witcher 3 gets red squares at anything above 1480 mhz. my 980 ti could do 1542/8200 in that bench but could not even come close to that in actual games maxed out at 4k and even 1440.
