Hello all!
Finally done with my extensive testing on my GTX 980. This is the first time I have ever overclocked anything, so hopefully I didn't mess anything up haha.
I used EVGA Prevision
I started with an EVGA superclocked GTX 980 with the ACX 2.0 cooling system.
My stock clocks were:
1266 GPU
1404.8 Actual Boost Clock (Measured with GPU-Z during gaming, is listed as 1367)
7010 Memory
My overclocks are:
1405 GPU (+139 MHz, 10.98% increase)
1543.3 Actual Boost Clock (9.86% increase)(Measured with GPU-Z during gaming, is listed as 1506)
8350 Memory (+670MHz x 2 = 1340MHz, 19.12% increase)
My temperature during benchmarking with Unigine Heaven never goes above 63, and during gaming on Evolve never goes higher than 65.
(And I could make these much lower if needed, that is with fan at about 50%)
I set-up the following custom fan curve
(Note that the fan is inaudible anywhere under 40% power)
0-40=0%
50=15%
60=35%
65=60%
85=100%
I have set my power target to 120% , and during Evolve gaming it just barely touches that during the peak of battle.
I did NOT alter my voltage at all, during stock testing my peak voltage was 1.225, and now it is still at 1.225 MAX
What do you guys think? I would like for this card to last probably around 4-5 years, will this OC put me under that?
Is my fan set-up good, or does it need adjusting?
(Before setting the custom fan I would get to 75, and Unigine Heaven would crash at much lower clocks)
If I kept my card even cooler( say 55 and under) would I be able to get any higher clock?(Just curious, I'm more than happy with where I'm at right now)
Thanks for any answers! Like I said, this is my first time OC'ing and I'm super paranoid about messing my card up.
Oh, also here are the comparison charts of my before and after OC's FPS on Evolve:
(Left two charts are using SMAA anti-aliasing, which was much less taxing than TXAA in some of the other tests I have done)
