Hi all I've recently built a new pc and inside it as you may have guessed from the title is a gtx 970 (zotac)

I have overclocked the core clock to 204mhz and the memory clock to 99mhz and have recieved what I believe to be good results (its my first ever overclock so i dont know if they're decent in comparison)

On unigine valley benchmark I received a score of 2705 with an avg fps of 64.7, min of 26.0 and a max of 128.4 (in extreme hd), and in 3dmark vanatge I received a score of 36533

I'd like to see how they compare to other gtx 970's and/or if they are decent/good results

Many thanks:)

That's a good score for a GTX 970.
(by the way the 204mhz is +204mhz on whatever the base clock is, not 204mhz)

Usually good GTX 970's get up to around 1400mhz to 1500mhz core clock on good cards ;) So the GTX 970 is a great overclocking card.

-happy overclocking.

I managed to get

MSI 970
Power Limit 100%/Untouched
+225 Core = 1680MHz
+575 Memory = 4080MHz
Temperature never goes above 64C

But for some reason everyone else I've seen has been happy they managed to get above 1.5GHz, so I'm pretty confused about that one...

Have you touched Core voltage at all? I beleive usually people hit ~1500mhz with no voltage changes.
1680mhz is a great overclocker if you're still on stock volts ;)

If 1.5K is really what most people get, it makes me all the more grateful for mine!
