I've had these cards for a month and a half now and I couldn't be any happier with them, except for one thing. I can't seem to able to overclock to anything above 1400 boost clock without getting artifacts in 3dmark firestrike. Should I be concerned about that? Is there anything I could do about it?

    Start by letting us know what software you are using to overclock and what version it is.

    What all are you adjusting and things like that. Currently your statement is very vague, and this information will help.

    Just keep in mind, one benchmark may not like your OC, while all of the others are perfectly fine. I can't get past 1309 in 3D Mark while I am stable at 1405 in all others. It is a demanding benchmark for a reason.

    I'm using EVGA PrecisionX 16 with the following adjustments:
     
    - Power Target: 115% 
    - GPU Clock Offset: +50
     
    Everything else is unchanged

    What about your temperatures? How are they?

    Hi Asila, if you haven't already, please make another thread of your own so that we can directly help you without getting off topic on clights thread.

    When you post, if you haven't already, please include all system specs. When you ask that question, it is too vague to answer. It sounds like you own a Gigabyte motherboard possibly, but with only two colors, we wouldn't be able to tell you where to install anything properly.

    They seem fine, when running games like BF4 I get around 57 and 63 respectively. Highest temp I've seen was 80 during the first unigine valley benchmark I've ran, but after that it seemed to never go above 70.

    I bought these cards on Oct 30th and they arrived about a week or less later. How do you check the BIOS version?
