I'm trying to over clock my gpu. I'm getting 1200 MHz on 1.18V .Using afterburner, I'm trying to go higher but my voltage isn't bulging. Gpu-Z reads it as "1.2V " and Afterburner again reads it as 1.18V . I don't know what I can do. I have my core voltage setting as ~+56 and my power limit setting as +12 .

Yeah that doesn't help. His afterburner skin is different from mine (his does measurements while mine does additions [+56 for example ]) and he doesn't explain his settings for afterburner.

err not really what I needed. My voltage doesn't go higher. It's barely at 1.8v so I know it can go higher . I also know that 1200 MHz Oc is already pretty high. But if it can achieve that stable on a low voltage then it should Oc higher on more voltage.
 


it says msi gaming 280x(twin frozr). im guessing voltage locked. my old 7950, still the same tahiti core in the 280x, though slighly gimped, would run 1.25v no problem. i dont see any reason why the 280x wont get there unless its locked. maybe afterburner needs to be modded first.... i would ask over at the official owners thread since they specialize in this stuff.....
