Gigabyte 780 Ti WF3 OCing questions

[Vinceisg0d]

Hi!

I have a Gigabyte 780 Ti WF3 and am looking to OC it. Unfortunately I cannot find any guides on doing so for this specific card.

A couple questions I have:

Should I just be increasing the clocks ever-so-slightly then testing it out after each try?

I'm using Precision but my GPU clock is sitting at 324 MHZ, which I am assuming is just the idle. Is there a way to see what it's set at within this program?

Usually when you're not following a guide (shouldn't as every GPU is different), you increase the core clock speed by 10-15MHz and stress test it after every adjustment. Once you get to the point where your GPU starts artificing or crashing, back off 15MHz and you should be good to go.

I have no experience with Precision, but I do use Afterburner and I can see the default core clocks as well as the current core clock.

Should I be increasing both core and memory clock? Also, are there any specific benchmarks/utilities I should be using?

I ran 3DMark11 on default settings and got the following, does this look somewhat normal:

Graphics Score 15290
Physics Score 10011
Combined Score 9786

I'm not an extreme overclocker by any means, so I have not touched the memory clock when overclocking any of my GPUs. As I was advised that it would not make a large difference.

I think the more widly used benchmarks are Unigine Valley/Heaven, and 3DMark. But other than that, it's widly based on personal preference.

I can't compare scores with you or do much research as I'm not at my own PC at the moment.

Start with the core. Once you find the sweet spot you can work on the memory. Note: core, memory and fan profiles affect TDP.
