Hi fellow gamers, i recently decided to go with the gtx 770 lightning from msi instead of 2x760 sli, because 770 was about 150e cheaper here but still great performer. I installed 320.49 nvidia drivers, added +12mv in afterburner (normal version with +12mv limit) and tried to oc. After some time the max stable oc i managed was a pathetic +20mhz. I say pathetic because in many reviews i have read the oc on +12mv was alot higher and i have 2 friends with msi 680 lightning's and both of them surpass my gtx 770 in performance because of higher oc. I tried the new nvidia 326.80 beta drivers and with them my card is barely stable on stock, i cant even ad 5mhz without losing stability. Changing the memory to stock doesn't help. I can get 2025mhz stable on vram but i keep it on 1900. I also tried afterburner se edition and on +100mv i can get 1220mhz (1320 turbo) stable but with much higher temps, little over 80c with fans set to 90% (playing crysis 3 and sleeping dogs). My friends with their gtx 680 lightning get 1250mhz (about 1360 turbo) with just +50mv and temps dont go over 60c on 65% fan settings.So my question is: Is my gpu defective or i'm just unlucky and got a bad overclocker?
