Overclock hardly affected performance?

[Theodoric_1]

Hi all. I recently overclocked my GTX 1070 mobile to +197 Core clock and +342 memory clock with MSI Afterburner and have hardly noticed any increase in gaming performance. Testing with GTA V and it seems fps may have increased by just 2. CPU is also overclocked to 4.0ghz (i7-6820hk).

Could I be doing something wrong?


Also, I didn't increase voltage or power limit as the options are greyed out (despite enabling them in the settings).

Thanks

Laptops have practically zero thermal headroom so no matter what you set the speed to as soon as you put the system under load it will throttle (think 82-ish is the limit).

You can use msi afterburner to watch all your temps to see where you're at.

Start with simple things. First thing i would do is to play other games to test. Use a gpu benchmark that will show fps or score, only to see that u did overclock right.

I didnt notice its a laptop we talking about, 99,9% sure this guy is right. check your temperatures.

Temps never went above 76 C. Fan is on 85%.

Edit: Tested in Unigine Heaven. 87.3 avg fps normal and 93.3 overclocked.
