Trying to overclock my new 1050 Ti SC.
My system has a screen with a resolution of 1680x1050 and the latest GeForce drivers.
I tried FurMark with the following settings:
1680x1050, 8x MSAA, Dynamic background, Burn-in, Xtreme burn-in and Post-FX
which in my surprise didn't result in the highest boost clocks.
What makes the card run in higher frequencies is
Folding@Home, so that's what I am using while making my tests.
Here is a screenshot from XOC:
And here are my questions:
- Does the voltage slider makes any difference? I don't see the voltage changing while moving the slider (and hitting apply). Actually, before applying OC settings I think the voltage was constantly a little higher that 1.1V, but now it is around 1.000 V most of the time and rarely surpasses that value.
- I see screenshots with the power limit set over 100%. In my case I can't set it over a 100%. Is this because of the card model or is it something else?
And here is a screenshot of another XOC tab:
When I applied my OC settings the green broken line appeared. Should I tweak anything here in order for voltage settings to take effect?
And a last question:
Are these fluctuations of the power limit normal? Are they caused by the way Folding@Home utilizes the GPU, by the way the GPU is programmed to work or is it something else that causes them?
Thanks for your time reading my post!
