Hi i just joined today here in tom's and i want to know more about overclocking my gpu. I am not an expert thats why i seek advice from those who have been doing overclocks for a long time.
I use afterburner as a overclocking tool, on my Gigabyte Gtx 550 Ti, has default 970 core, 1940 shader and 1050 memory clock. So i have been reading things about overclocking and i know my card is capable of higher performance, and i want to pump out more in playing Crysis2 in Hardcore mode.
After i raised my clocks also i raised the core voltage everything is ok when i run the 3dmark vantage an increase in fps about 1.5-2 also i dont know if that makes alot of difference, meaning its succesfully overclocked in my point of view
By the way from 970 core i raised it to 1025 aswell as the shader from 1940 to 2051 and the memory from 1050 to 1085
i increased the core volt to max which is 1150 (mV) thats from a default 1087 (mV), these readings came from techpower up Gpu-z , max fanspeed also.
Here's the problem after playing crysis 2 for 5 minutes on Hardcore settings 1366 x 768 res. , the game freezes then
in my lower right corner appears Display driver stopped responding and has recovered, something like this.
and when i checked my Gpu-z the clocks returned to default
What could be the problem?? need Replys pls Tyty
