Okay so here's my current build:
CPU: AMD Athlon 760k X4 black edition
PS: Antec 450w
MoBo: gigabyte F2A88XM-D3H
Drives: corsair 60gb SSD And 1tb sea gate barracuda HDD
Memory: G Skill rip jaws x series 2 x 4gb
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Super clocked 1gb
All inside a Corsair spec 01 case with three 120mm case fans

My question is what's a good average clocking speed for my GPU and what's a good stable OC frequency for it. On newegg and other sites it says the core clock is 1215MHz and 5012MHz. And what my pc normally runs it on is somewhere around 500 core and 2500 memory, and I would like to effectively raise those base frequencies without any issues, but last Saturday I put it up to i believe 900 core and around 4000 memory while playing elder scrolls online and it crashed. Any and all insight and reccommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hmm, go to your Control Power > Power Options > and choose the High Performance profile (may be hidden under the other two)

Your GPU is definitely running at only half speed.

If that doesn't do anything, you're gonna have to uninstall your drivers the special way.

1. Get DDU. http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html
2. Use DDU to uninstall your Nvidia drivers, also do AMD IF you had an AMD/ATI graphics card previously. Follow DDU's instructions, it knows what it's doing.
3. Download and install the latest drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/85051/en-us
4. Test if it fixed your problem.

Are you sure those weren't the idle clocks? It turns it self down to save power when you're not gaming.
 
Yea they could of been before i tried experimenting im pretty sure thats what it always was, except while gaming it was maybe a little more. but regardless should i not be able to amp it up more ?
 
If you're actually running a demanding game it should be running up to it's advertised speeds of 1215 (1294 max) and 5012 memory mhz.
use hwmonitor: http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
start it up, go into game, do some graphical demanding stuff, run around, make explosions, kill guys, and then check the max value in HWmonitor for your GPU clocks.

If it's still below what it's advertised then use like Evga Percision to set your GPU clocks to what they're supposed to be: http://www.evga.com/precision/

You may not understand OCing enough to know what you did to it previously, and you may have OCed it beyond what you should have.
 
It should look something similar to this:

yea not it just goes right back to the frequency i mentioned before, and during a game it goes to the frequency i clocked it up to or stays the same if i havent clocked it up
 
It's possible your PSU isn't providing enough power for it run any higher, but somewhat unlikely.

It's also likely HWmonitor is reporting only half the speed your memory is running, but that's actually full speed, it gets complicated depending on how it gets calculated.

2500 is half of 5000, which is what yours should max at.
my HW says my memory clocks at 3500, which is half of the 7000 it should run at.
I'm pretty sure it's not being held back as I don't see any issues, it may just be reporting it confusingly.

Your core clocks should be reported correctly though. Like even GPU-Z reports your memory clocks running at quarter speed, but if you multiply it manually it comes out to what it should be.

Can you take some screenshots of your OCing programs, HWmonitor, and upload them to like www.imgur.com and paste the links here (bbcode links leave actual pictures)
