GTX 670 EVGA FTW, overclock

OP, the bad thing is the 670/680's don't scale that well. Probably 5-10fps. For this reason I just run at stock speeds.
 
Since mine are water cooled I can "ramp them up" more but my 24/7 OC using MSI Afterburner beta from guru3d is +50 core and +200 memory. I've had the core upped almost 100 but started having problems. The memory has been as high as +400. Since the GTX 670 FTW is built on the GTX680 pcb you already have more head room.

Mine are plenty fast at +50 core;+200 memory in SLI.
 
Overclocking the memory yields the biggest performance gains, mine is set to 6978.

After looking through various games for artifacts, I found that the Metro Last Light benchmark was helpful in highlighting when the memory was too fast.

I then found the grenade arc in Crysis 3 was still all over the place until I clocked back a little more. Still a 20% increase across the board.

It seems the standard 6GHz @ 256bit doesn't allow Kepler to unleash its full potential.
 
Thanks for the responses guys. While i was waiting to hear some of the responses I was able to figure out some of the best ingame settings as well as desktop settings for running Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm. Seems the lighting really puts a hit on things in my scenario. And on another positive note I stepped up my overclock from 3.45GHz to 4.025GHZ.. and I think that helped a little but in regards to the card I think I am going to be fine running it like it is till I find a game that demands more than this card can currently give at stock speeds.

Thanks fellas, Cheers

:thumbsup:🙂()🙂Have fun and spend some serious time playing games. You already have plenty of hardware to do so. BTW, I like MSI afterburner because it keeps a log of all items monitored such as temp, mem usage etc. Real neat feature.
