Hello everyone!
First of all I`d just like to say that I`m new to OCN and I just finished building my first rig (the one in my signature). I played around for a bit with my GPU, and found out that I`m able to run it at 1225MHz, and that at that clock speed it passes the Valley and Heaven benchmarks. I haven`t touched mem clocks or voltages yet (those are at 1500MHz and 1.256V). The temps I`m getting are around 60C for the GPU and 40C for the VRMs (according to GPUz). If I try to go over 1225MHz, I start to get artifacts and/or crashes while running those benchmarks.
What do you guys think? Are those `typical` values for this card at stock voltage? Are the benchmarks a good indication of stability, or should I be running other tests? In that case, which ones?
I might start playing around with voltages in a few days, but for now I can`t really say if I`m happy with the performance I`m getting in games. Well, I am happy, but I haven`t bought a new monitor yet (it will most likely be a 27 1440p IPS), so once I get that I will probably rethink how I feel about the card`s performance. For now, running a 1080p monitor I`m happy with the card even at stock speeds
.
Another thing, do you recommend I make a custom profile with the 1225MHz and use that just for games, or should I be ok running it like that all of time since I haven`t touched voltages (yet)?
Any comments or advice would be appreciated!
