PC Specs: i5 4670k
Gtx 980 ti
12gb Ram

Problem: Hi, I'm using Afterburner to try overclock my gpu and Kombustor to to Benchmark, to try get a few more fps. But my Core clock and memory clock basically can't go over +100Mhz without crashing Kombuster. Everytime I try set in any higher my screen just goes the full colour of my desktop, for this instance yellow and Kombustor just crashes. Any tips, to what may be causing this>
 
Solution
1000MHz looks normal. 1100MHz is a decent overclock.

If you want more FPS, find out the bottleneck. I'm suspecting i5 + 12GB single channel RAM. What resolution and fps are you playing at?

You might wanna run UserBenchmark without overclocking to get an overall look.
