Graphics Card OC, HELP!!

flamehead269 · Mar 17, 2013

I currently have a GIGABYTE Ghz Edition 7970 3gb in my system, and I want to overclock because I have 4 case fans that individually have 90+ CFM, so I want to overclock my graphics card, now, when i use the AMD VISION Engine Control Center, I overclock the card, but when I play games when its clocked at that, the game crashes, giving the display driver recovered error.

Clock: 1100 Mhz
Mem Clock: 1500 Mhz

What should I do?

You overclock isn't stable. You need to get the core voltage and memory/core clocks set at the correct settings. Head over to the overclocking section of the forum for more help.

how your overclockign it is in the wrong procedure. How it should be done for saftey is

1. download a benchmark or stress tester, Unigine 4.0 or Furmark are common examples
2. Move clocks up a bit, bench for cycles on above programs, be sure to note temperatures
3. if it passes, raise clocks even more
4. repeat 2
5. If program crashes or computer BSOD, then it is at its voltage limit. Increase the voltage slightly
6. repeat 2
7. repeat 3-6 till you reach the temperature max you want.

never manually boost clocks without testing them first, thats how one can kill their card as they did not know their limit.
