A little backstory to know why I’m Overclocking.
So today after I decided to play Rise Of The Tomb Raider and saw that the benchmarks dipped below 60 at times even hitting high 40s at times so I decided I’d Overclock my GPU so I’d be able to get a solid 60 but there are some things that have been confusing me. I’m using MSI Afterburner and MSI Kombuster to do and test my overclock and I was able to increase my core clock to 210 and memory clock at 500 when I run Kombuster from the Afterburner application it runs that Benchmark that has a radar-like thing going around at 720p windowed and I’m able to run it for 10+ minutes (I didn’t test it for longer). I was a bit confused why it was 720p since my display is 1080p. I had no articles or issues during that benchmark and it ran perfectly. When I do the Kombuster app it runs a benchmark with the furry MSI logo and it also runs at 720 and has no issues. The issue comes when I put it at 1080p. When I do so the app crashes after 2 or 3 minutes of running and I’ve seen that my core clock doesn’t seem to affect it very much as it still runs even as I push it to 220 but when I did open Kombuster with the Afterburner app to open the radar like benchmark it crashes every time. The radar benchmark doesn’t seem to have visible effects when I bump up memory clock even if I increase it +700 (it does say I have artifacts though in the corner) but for the furry one does since it crashes when I run that And vice versa when running a higher core clock furry benchmark runs fine radar one doesn’t.
Summary: What Resolution should I benchmark Kombuster at? Which one of the 2 do I use (furry or radar) and when do I knew I’ve reached my Overclocking limits.
Sorry this is long af I just want every detail to be present so no1 has to ask me simple questions I could have put in already.
