Hey guys,
I just recieved my dream rig today( with mainly 3 watercooled titan a 3970x@4,8ghz 24/7, a 32g dominator 2400mhz Ram@1866mhz (can't get more meh)), and there is a slight disapointement. Company building it told me the 3 titans would be OC'd to 1284 as they get 1284mhz in enigine valley, but in gpu-z the gpu clock is shown as 965, which is far from what they told me. They only used MSI afterburner.
Now it appears enigine valley is far off with what they say whenever there is 2+ cards, so i'm guess i'm only OC'ed at 965.
As a result my 3dmark 11 score is only 2602 - that's windows 8 so it's expected to be lower apparently.
Now, the 3 cards are watercooled with 720mm worth of rads with a loop of their own, so i think i should be able to push them a bit further than 965mhz. With that setting the cards don't go over 45° in crysis3 sessions - i think that leave me some room to OC more, am i right?
My goal is to have a 24/7 OC on those cards, and i'll only be doing gaming, won't wander in benchs for days - not because i dont find it interesting, just won't have time to do both biggrin.gif
What should i do to overclock the cards so i can have a "stable daily overclock" and have a good 3k mark 11 score as well.
They said they used MSI afterburner, but from reading forums left and right the OC with this thing is a bit ****ed because of GPU boost, and the only "proper" way to do it is to flash the bios. Is that right ?
If it is what's the best flashed bios i can get? Is it possible to flash it and reverse the flash if the card burns out or something(i've got 3 years warranty on the whole rig). Is there a way to have the card stables at around 1100Mhz non stop (so my 3d mark score goes up, and in games aswell) without flashing the bios - which would be my prefered way to go obviously
Hope you can help a noob get better ! looking forward to your replies
cheers
