Hey guys I'm seeking for some advice on overclocking my 780 ti. Recently I bought a new rad to fix my temps and reduced them to 56-57C on load and gpu does not go above 61C even at benchmarks...Its a intel 4770k Haswell and since its a very hot cpu I am not too worried. I am starting to test overclocking for a second time with this new set up. Without changing voltages I started with Memclock up to +150 for no improvement...some posts adviced to start there since you might get some improvements without changing gpu clock.
Now I started increasing the gpu clock +50, +70, +80 with the latest gaining about 3 fps and getting 1618 score (a 70 gain in score compared to no OC) and at +90 and +85 I get black screens using Heavens Benchmark. I tried raising the Mem Clocks +50 and +100 (with +85 and +90 gpu clocks each) and still I get black screen and windows message that Heavens Benchmark has stopped working after I press Esc when the black screen comes....
Could you guide me through the next step? Should I raise Mem clock more with the Gpu clock increases? When comparing to other results it seems I got the low end on the lottery ticket without raising voltages (I still love the card anyways) but I want to overclock more since I am also playing with downsampling...especially with Diablo 3 which I can see a lot of difference and Im thinking of gettin a 120Hz Monitor, and I want my card to run as smoothly as possible to really get the most out of it. I am a beginner overclocking but don't hesitate to throw me complicated stuff...It may be my first build but no pain no gain right?
