Good morning Forum,
I currently have a MSI 7970 OC at 1100/1575 via Catalyst Control Centre, and cannot go any further without crashing my games with "driver has stopped working". So i have a few questions in regards to overclocking as I'm an amateur in this field.
1. Does the card itself determine the overclocking capacity, or does the program determine/contribute to the overclocking capacity.
- Eg. Would using MSI Afterburner provide me with a better(or different) overclocking results than say using CCC
** My aim here is to determine if i can obtain a higher overclock than 1100/1575 using MSI Afterburner, or is 1100/1575 my maximum overclock
2. I've heard people mention about voltage tweaking and would like to know, how does that affect overclocking and when do you take the option to voltage tweak a card?
- As my current overclock has stagnated at 1100/1575, will voltage tweaking allow me to further overclock my card or is 1100/1575 my maximum?
** My aim here is again to determine if i can obtain a higher overclock than my currently max clock of 1100/1575.
I've seen on some reviews that they reach over 1300 core clock, i'm jealous and wonder if i can reach such a delicious clock.
Thanks.
