OC help - GTX970

K.O.Kiki · 2016-06-11 15:20:50

I have a KFA2 GTX 970 EXOC Black Edition Just wondering if/how I could push it further. Last time I did overclocking was in 2004 on an ATi 9600! :pac:

Grab MSI afterburner.

You should be able to push it to 1500mhz+ if it's decent silicon. The memory is already heavily overclocked but you might get it a bit higher.

There's plenty of guides online for it anyway. Let us know how you get on.

Final result:
KFA2 Geforce GTX 970 EXOC Black Edition

GPU Clock: 1165 MHz => 1290 MHz (boost: 1442 MHz)
VRAM: 1753 => 1953 MHz

I think the VRAM can go higher, but no point.
The GPU clock might go a bit more, but I get more artifacts than I'd like past +125
