Safe overclock for r9 270x?

[Shockwave953]

I am a noob to overclocking gpus. I have a r9 270x and when I overclock it about 100 mhz i get a ten to twenty fps boost in bf4, but i soon get a bluescreen and crash. What is a safe overclock for this card that I can use as a starting point?

Only the hawk? Gaming series? Is it locked?

i have a 270x gaming and my voltage is locked (cant change it)

In that case I'm stuck with 1160/1400mhz, more then that id get artifacts, i can run it with no bsod at 1175/1500 but artifacts.....

i can barely overclock my msi R9 270x gaming!!
the maximum i can get is 1160mhz, if i go above my game crashes or i get a blue or red screed of death...
really unlucky with my card

whats your power supply? may be you are running low of juice?

I have a sapphire r9 270x OC edition, by default it turns at 1070*1400 with a voltage of 1238, I used the oc programme of sapphire named trixx to OC this GPU to 1100*1500 with the same voltage of 1238 and power limit on 0. I changed the fan speed to 20c/20% 40/40 50/50 65/70 80/80 85/90 90/100 turns at an average temp of 68c playing bf4 for more than 100 hours and no problems so this seems like a save sweet spot to me.

Just for the information : if you want to play bf4 in multiplayer don't put the video settings on high of ultra but keep them on normal, the r9 270x card can handle the ultra but you will probably be slightly slower in observing and shooting your enemy. And to be honest, I can hardly experience the visual difference between normal high and ultra.

psu 550w, cpu amd 6300 fx BE OC on 4400ghz cooled by coolmaster, memory 8gb, Windows 7 64b, playing BF4 64b,

ill take your word for it... this will definitely help a lot!

No i really dont think its overheating. I had the same problem because i couldnt increase the gpu to the voltage it had needed so i flashed its bios and voilla. Runs smooth at almost 1300 core and 1550 memory. Overheating with only 100mhz increase is unlikely unless you didnt increase yor fan speed.

wow that great can you post a link to the bois flash I not using stock heatsink to cool my card heat is not a problem I want to push these cards to the max overclock

Did you increase the power limit by 20%? I did that on msi's afterburner, i managed to get 1180mhz core/1400mhz memory (stable), but i will get blue screen if i set it on 1190 on core, i gues that's my limit mine is the standard msi r9 270x gaming series 2gb

Im getting with Visionteck R9 270X 1180mhz core/1410mhz +2% power limit stable Temp 66 'C Averg in Haven 90.7 FPS in ultra

over clocked mine to 1200mhz ,upped my watts to 20% but when I check amd catalist shows its in the red zone. not sure it's going to be very healthy getting few extra fps

how long have you been in the red zone? im at 1200 also but only +10 on power. i only do this when gaming, usually i have mine on 1080 with 0% on power. is this ok? how is yours holding up?
