Help overclocking R9 280x in AMD overdrive

[misterpotato]

Hey guys I need help over clocking my Sapphire Dual-x r9 280x OC version with AMD overdive. My currents clocks are 1020/1500 looking for some more performance.

Bump the clock 50 MHz at a time and test by playing a game or running a GPU benchmark . if it crashes you went too high.. U could also use MSI afterburner or Asus GPU tweak

Okay I'm at 1090/1600 at 10 percent power consumption is this a stable clock? Sometimes OC speeds seem atable but after a while they start to crash

You could download the Sapphire Tri-XX utility for more suitable overclocking. If you experience instability try to bump the voltage up. Let`s say from 1100 to 1150 and recheck for stability.

So at what voltage and clock speed should I put it at, so I can get constant 80 fps on bf4 at high settings?

There is no exact voltage that you set, it differs from one card to another, there will be similar voltage but not the same. It depends on your rigs you will be the one who will find out what voltage is suitable for your system. It`s an experiment that you will do and we are only here to guide.

Having 80FPS in BF4 is an understatement for FPS drops within chokepoints of the game (chokepoints=scenes having intense graphics).

60FPS is the ideal and beyond that is for high end gaming/resolution.

You're right, In bf4 getting a fps drop of 80 60 is noticeable for me maybe I should just turn off the fps counter

Perfect, FPS won`t do much if you are satisfied with your gameplay. Don`t mind the numbers and just play.
