The HD7970, which is what the R9 280 is, was well known for hitting 1200-1250MHz on the core clock. What you have is pretty good but what matters are temperatures and stability. I would try for 1250MHz but yours might not make it to that level.

More then 1206MHz isnt stable if i clock more then that i dont know how many Core Voltage i should put and how much will impact my temperature.
What about memory clock do you know how much can i hit? Because if i clock more then 1399 its unstable.

You might be at the limit of the GPU. Most are in the range I specified.

As for VRAM, I have seen over 1500MHz but it depends on the quality of the VRAM chips and if you are getting instability above a certain clock that might be the limit.

You can try upping the voltage by another 50mv and see if that makes a difference but your temps will increase a bit. A good thing is that you have a good cooler on that card so you should be fine so loing as you keep the temps below the 80c level.

I dont think my cooler is any good 😛 after 54% fan speed its very loud! I will leave it as it is.. I think i wont gain much if i clock more the Core so im happy with that Thank you for the answers

Glad I could help.

Remember though the fact that the cooler is loud at 54% does not mean it is not a good cooler. Asus makes some of the best coolers for GPUs, especially in the Strix series which some of their lines have the highest overclocks while being the coolest.

Yea but for me that loud fans are disadvantage. I wouldnt bother if it was sightly worse for cooling but with lower db Anyway thanks for everything!
