Memory clock stuck at 810MHz when overclocking

[krprd1994]

Hi there,

well, I have an Aorus GTX 1060 6gb, and I've been working for a few days in order to get the sweetspot for my overclock. I have my power limit to +111, temp limit to +92, voltage to 100%, and have been able to get it stable at core clock +75.

Now, trying to tinker with my memory clock, everytime I change it, and do the stability test with heaven benchmark, the memory clock value does not change at all, it always shows 4513MHz. This is until I reach +200, then, suddenly the Heaven information panel drops down to 810MHz, and core clock to 1910MHz from 2075... Then if I go past +600, it goes back up, to 3451, and core clock restores to 2075, but again, does not change at all as much as I raise the value.

I don't really understand what's happening, could anyone explain it to me?
Thanks!!

First, make sure your on the latest drivers, next make sure your on the latest BIOS for your graphics card (the overclocking utility that all Gigabyte cards use can do that for you).

Both drivers and BIOS are on their newest version

Try using a different benchmark, i was just in another thread that had issues and apparently it was only happening in Unigine Heaven.

I also tried both OCCT and GPU-Z an both show the exact same numbers.

Edit: Actually just checked again, and GPU-Z, does show the overclock, but it is the only one amongst all I've tried that does it (Afterburner, heaven, OCCT, Aorus Engine...). Furthermore, when I get 810MHz in monitoring, I do have a much worse performance, so it seems like GPU-Z is the one which is detecting the wrong number.
