Evga GTX 970 SSC

[Dobbs4556]

Hey all, So I just upgraded from a GTX 960 FTW edition to a 970 SSC and was Doug some regular and OC benchmarks today. I got a stable OC using precision X at +155 core clock and +170 on memory. Was getting around 1548mhz running Valley Benchmark. However after finding the right OC and it lasting the benchmark test I tried playing ESO and bam, crashed. Restarted and lowered the levels and it still kept crashing. Even at +75 on both it was freezing. Not sure what's going on, any input would be nice. I usually never have issues and turn to these forums for advice (just search and read) but this is my first post. Thanks for any help or input!

Try other games like CSGO, Witcher 3, GTA V etc. Some games are REALLY sensitive about GPU OC. In the meantime just run ESO with stock settings.

Thanks, CS:GO ran fine, the first Bioshock ran very choppy as well. About to run MGS:5 on stock as well as OC. I know the SSC will run anything stock fine, but whats the fun in that.

Yeah as I said many games don't like overclocks. For example I've overclocked my R9 270 and GTA V will crash very often when I run it at 1150MHz core clock while Witcher 3 will be fine, but it will have no issues at 1145MHz. Similarly, Fallout 4 simply HATES graphics card overclocks.
