MSI Gaming 980TI wrong clock and memory speeds

pilster123 · Jun 26, 2015

Hello,

recently purchased the MSI custom 980TI

from what i can see I am not getting the full base and boost clock as I seen advertised.

Advertised clock: 1178 MHz
Advertised Boost Clock:1279 mhz

My Clock:1140 mhz
Boost:1228 mhz

is this because I used the standard 6 to 8 pin connector that you get with the graphics card and plug into the power supply adapter?

Thanks

Hi , what is ur PSU ?

Gam3r01 · Jun 26, 2015

You shouldnt be using an adapter.
That card needs its power, if it cant get it, it cant keep its clock speeds stable at their rated levels, so they drop. Thermals will cause the same thing.

U also need to download MSI Gaming App and put it in OC Mode but I would get a PSU with the correct pin connectors first as mentioned above. Don't spend £600 on a card and then cheap out on the psu it deserver better lol

Just got mine today was quite impressed

My old 970 Sli setup http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5138343
My new 980ti setup http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7513137?

That score is without being on the OC setting

I have 2 8 pin power connectors, i am using the XFX 750WATT PSU. its not some cheap end one. I found an additional 8pin power connector.

Mines got same clocks as urs in GPUZ but if I enable with MSI Gaming App it has Advertised clocks of 1279. My old MSI 970 did the same thing it is intended feature by MSI.

Thankyou very much, if you enable the OC mode does it change in GPU-Z sorry for all the questions, was worried i had bad card.

Hi

I am also getting false readings from MSI gaming app, it states im running at 800MHZ, when in fact Asus GPU Tweak states im getting 1400MHz, but have problems in games running too slow, Dying light is running at 11 FPS, and thief is running around 30FPS running at 1080p and with alot of settings turned down low, yet i researched some one who has the same setup as mine, running Thief at 70 to 100 FPS with all setting turned up.

So what am I doing wrong also.
