*Moved to right board*

I am very pleased with this graphics card, and I am trying to achieve an respectable overclock on this card without jeopardizing its longevity too much. I'd just love to hear your guys's opinion on my current overclock and how to possible improve this? I have screenshots of nearly every benchmark that i've ran overclocking the card and the FPS is definetly increasing steadily.

It isnt just about obtaining an respectable overclock for me, but I love the journey of learning hence coming here for advice. I am still unsure about a few minor aspects that'll help me understand

This is the current overclock, no errors as of yet!

How do these statistics look, in a more experienced eye? This was taken after a 20 min Valley Benchmark run

The only real issue i've been having ever since starting to overclock, is that the voltage will always fluctuate between 1.050v down to 1.043v. It never really is steady, Previous benchmark it seemed to be at 1.043v the majority of the time. And the last run it was at full capacity for the entire time?

Another slight thing that spikes my curiosity is as to why the Core Clock starts out at 1961,5mhz and throttles to 1949mhz. But I can only assume thats nothing to concern me

I want to start touching the power limit and temp limit and eventually the voltage aswell if helpful. But I know too little about the power limit and temp limit feature. But I have a feeling TDP and Power Limit is related with eachother, and the TDP seems fairly good having read other threads


I'd genuinely love to hear inputs and advices! It will show driver crashing, or has shown one driver crash at +220 at the Core Clock, so that would be the next obstacle

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the explanation mate, I really had in mind that both these limits had some magical power that would increase stability, even running such low temps by reading all those thread and guides haha. From what I understand power limit refers to the Power Consumption [TDP] right? If thatd be true, it would mean my power limit hasnt gone beyond 80% ever. Other than on where it goes to 98-99% TDP on Furmark benchmarking where it'll run quite a bit warmer

For the memory clock, every benchmark has been showing the correct memory clock whilst overclocking, The memory speed has to be right as the increase in FPS in total overclock has been more than +210 core clock on its own lol. I've made interval screenshots for this purpose and to look...

Its the Gigabyte 1050 TI Windforce edition. I did actually have to increase the core voltage by 15. But I'm kind of on a hold atm.. I've noticed that my Power Consumption hasn't risen at all during overclocking. it has always remained between around 70-75. Only with a +50 volt test run, it did spiked to 79% TDP.. I think this is holding me back and possibly throttling the gpu or something

Just touching on what you said about power and temp limit, those are basically limits you can set for the gpu. (obviously) Starting with the power limit, if set to 100%, the card will throttle if it ever hits that limit you have set. By limit i dont automatically mean it will drop in mhz. But it wont go any higher. This is most likely why you have an insane 1000mhz on your memory. I havent seen any card be able to do that. Im assuming that the card is hitting that 100% limit and not even going near that 1000mhz overclock. As for the temp limit, it works the same way. If the card gets near or touches that temp, the card will throttle itself. These are just the basics of it and other people could explain it better. But for the best overclocks and performance increase, it is pretty normal to set the power and temp limit to their max to reduce any throttling from happening.

I've made interval screenshots for this purpose and to look back at it myself :p Here a quick snapshot

Every run was performed with the exact same settings, and those was all on stock core and 100% power limit, This is pure memory overclock

The 1200 memory was achieved on Asus Tweak utility. but it would wouldnt save the settings after making changes. 1250 was actually the point where it started showing artifacts!
