Hello guys,
I have recently upgraded to a second gtx 970 and quickly realized that not even those two were enough for witcher 3 @4k DSR. I was wondering if there were any guides or something that would allow me to safely overclock my gpu's? I'm still a noob to overclocking components so I have used OC genie for overclocking my 4690k to 4.2ghz and use afterburner profiles to overclock my gpu's. However, finding a stable overclock for the witcher 3 has proved elusive (see some kind of artifacts during cutscenes only). I cannot go back to 1440p after seeing that game at glorious 4k resolutions.
My current ABurner settings are:
mv : 20
Power: 110
Coreclock: +155
Memclock: +265
These settings result in 2-5 fps gains but no artifacts whatsoever. I do notice that the coreclock is maxed and increasing it +10 or more result in artifacts.
I make no compromises at settings, everything is maxed out (including hair) and use Cinefx preset (amazing sweetfx!!!!) and get around ~40fps for witcher 3.
My gear if it matters:
4690k
212 Evo Cooler
msi gd-65 mobo
16gb g.skill
2 x gtx 970 msi gaming SLI
HX750 psu
120mm fans everywhere
Antec 1100 V2 Case
1440p display but use 4k DSR when possible
To summarize: I wanna know what I am doing right/wrong to improve fps and if there are any guides to walk me through overclocking these components. I can' find any for my mobo (that's why I use oc genie) and none for sli 970's.
Thanks and I look forward to hearing you guys out!
