Message boards : Graphics cards (GPUs) : Asus GTX970 (Strix) best stable OC settings

Just got one of these today and wondered if anyone that has this card could tell me the best stable settings they have achieved for GPUGRID. Also the Asus GTX660TI which I will be replacing a GTX460 with. | |

My Galax GTX970 runs at about 1.33 GHz @ 1.05 V and 1.34 GHz @ 1.06 V. I have set its power limit so that it hovers around 140 W. If I would let it use more power, it would obviously clock higher but work a bit less efficiently. Your card uses the same chip in a comparable environment (OC-capable board, solid cooling), so there's no need to specifically look for values of a Strix. | |

I think yours is a still little faster than mine at stock with voltage at 1.20 | |

That's pretty normal for a stock factory-overclocked card. To get better performance simply raise the "GPU clock offset" in the usual OC-tool like EVGA precision or MSI Afterburner. You'll hit the power limit, at which point the GPU will reduce clocks & voltage (user a lower boost" state). It will run more efficient due to the lower voltage. I'd expect you to be able to run at about 1.4 GHz for the same power consumption via this method. Or at the same speed with less power, like I do. | |

Hi thanks, | |

There's some variation even running similar WUs with the same config. With +60 MHz at maximum a difference of (1330+60)/1330 - 1 = 4.5% could be expected. Assuming that the resulting clock sped is indeed 60 MHz higher. If you're hitting the power limit it is not, as I described in the previous post. | |

Thanks for the reply. Yes I pushed it a little to hard which caused the error. I will switch to PCIe 3 and try your other suggestions. | |
