Title: Testing OC Post by: SMOKEU on August 09, 2011, 11:15:18 AM To test the overclock of a mining card do you just increase the clocks and run GUIMiner (or other mining app) until it crashes, and then reduce the clock frequency or increase voltage?
Title: Re: Testing OC Post by: stryker on August 10, 2011, 06:39:59 PM when u find the cards Mhz ceiling then raising the voltage can raise the "ceiling" tho you want to think real hard b4 raising the stock voltages.... its the one thing that "could" damage your card plus it can seriously raise the number of watts your card draws....
remember with raising the voltage its all about doing so in very, very small increments say .005 HTH Title: Re: Testing OC Post by: Starlightbreaker on August 10, 2011, 06:51:12 PM for my 5850s, increasing 0.01v = additional 30w pulled from the wall.
don't increase it too much. it'll be less cost-efficient. Title: Re: Testing OC Post by: honolululu on August 11, 2011, 07:19:21 AM You may even consider lowering the voltage.
Some cards net more money stock clocks and undervolted, some net more money overclocked and stock voltage, etc... |
