I want to overclock my gpu and to get good results I have to increase my core voltage through MSI Afterburner. I have only managed to get 1090mhz core clock speed and 1470mhz memory clock speed (maybe these are good enough?). This is less than what I've seen other people get with this gpu. The stock clock speeds for the MSI R9 380 are 980mhz core clock and 1425mhz memory clock. So I have two questions about increasing the core voltage of my gpu.

1. What is the stock core voltage speed in the MSI Radeon R9 380 gpu out of the box?

2. What is the maximum recommended voltage limit for my R9 380 that I can use without bricking the card or overheating my computer?

Thanks in advance!



Here is a list of some of my PC specs if that's important:

Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5

CPU: Intel i5 4690K

PSU: Corsair CX600w

Coolers in my build: CPU stock cooler, Fractal Design Define R4 built-in fans and my two stock GPU fans.

Thanks for the answer, but my question was how much I can increase my voltage until it becomes unstable or too damaging for my gpu.
And by the way, those stock speeds you mentioned are not the stock speeds for the R9 380. Maybe you mistaked it for the R9 390?

this is the card i was looking at

increasing voltage means increasing heat so as long as you have the means of keeping it cool you wont damage the GPU
your using MSI afterburner which is a great tool to OC its alot of trial an error your going to have to watch your temps

you should bench mark your GPU get goal to beet

than OC accordingly to meet your GOAL Watching TEMPS THOUGH

i have my 970 +150 core + 500 mem stable at 64C underload (WITH OUT INCREASING THE VOLTS)

1178 MHz in Gaming Mode
1203 MHz in OC Mode

1329 MHz in Gaming Mode
1354 MHz in OC Mode

Okay thanks!

What would be a good goal to set? How much more FPS in a benchmark would mean a "successful" OC?

And should I stop overclocking instantly when I see just one or two small artifacts in a benchmark, or can I continue OCing until the benchmark crashes?
