Is there something wrong with my volt on gtx 670

[Gepidae]

So I was fiddling around in OCing my gigagbyte gtx 670 oc and Im not sure if Im missing a function or I forgot to enable anything but my power target max is 112% (seems awfully low).

Also as I am fiddling with the gpu clock offset during the Heaven benchmark I would crash with the "D3D11AppWindow::do_swap():device removed" error. From searching around it seems to be a lack of voltage but it only seems to do that when Im putting the gpu clock DURING benchmark.

Don't OC while benching...

Yeah don't.

I actually have used heaven free look mode to test the benefit of OCing the RAM on my 680. I find a spot of hi frame rate that stays more or less constant and then I slowly increase the memory clock until it crashes or the frame rate stops increasing. I figure that is the sure fire way to know the exact moment error correction starts to negate further increases in memory frequency.

Set your clocks before running the app.

Your max power use is 112% because Gigabyte most likely factory overclocked your card for you, and that 12% is how much theoretical power is left that the bios of the video card will allow for.
