[SOLVED] VRAM vs Core OC

[thetechissue]

Generally speaking, is it more dangerous to overclock the vram than the core clock?

No, unless you touch voltages and your temperatures are fine. You will start getting artifacts first and loss in benchmark scores when you oc memory too much, when you start gettinbg any issues drop your oc -25mhz.

But what's the difference if I raise the voltage? Isn't that just the core voltage? I mean, the memory is affected by it too?

Sometimes raising core clock is needed to stabilize higher vram clock and other way around. You just need to benchmark and test how your card behaves. You dont need to touch the core voltage, just keep it default and your 100% safe.

MSI afterburner is what i use, just max out power limit first and then start testing with raising core clock, when you start crashng or artifacting drop your oc -15mhz. Then start with memory clock and do the same, but when you get issues with vram drop -25mhz from first artifact / problem.

Yes, that's what I use too and I've reached to the maximum core clock I can get. (stable)
I asked this because I heard that the vram is pushed more to it's limits by the card manufacturer than the core, so It's more dangerous to oc it.
Thanks for your answer and sorry for my english!
