Liquid-X :
so I was overclocking my gpu, when i was doing heavens benchmark it crashes easily, but when i play a game it was at the same overclock rate, and didn't crash, is that normal
I agree with Ironsounds. Just wanted to add that it sounds as if you are on the bleeding edge of your overclock. Yes, benchmarking programs push the heck out of your component(s). But ut so too can some games(BF1 anybody?). What happens when you are about to finally complete a level and the card crashes due to the overclock and the insane amount of action happening on screen.
What is the OC returning other than increased heat?
And I just echoed you. Sorry about that. Great minds?
Maybe back off 25MHz with both your memory and core. Just an assumption. Where did they start and where are they now?
