I have a Gigabyte R9 280X and want to squeeze out every last drop of performance. But when I try to raise the core clock or memory clock by say 10 MHz my games and valley benchmark start to crash. I can't believe I can't overclock the gpu by as little as that. So there must be a problem ( I also saw other people achieving much higher overclocks). What can the problem be? Should I flash an older bios?

You need to change voltages to the core clock in order for it to stabilise correctly.

you need to check the temperature of your gpu and not all gpu and cpu are made to overclock the same way.

I can't change any voltages using MSI Afterburner. I can only change the power limit.

The temperature is safe t overclock. And I get that every chip overclocks diffrently but not being able to overclock at all is weird I think ;)

If you change the power limit and the voltages are locked, MSI afterburner will auto adjust the Vcore for you. Change the power limit slightly up and see how that goes.
