this is whats holding me back from OCing my card

stories of where my friend OCed his card so much until he crashes, PC restarts etc etc is really not tempting for me

l ussually get artifact on memory clock, my card is being held back by the elpida memory, core clock on 1280+ will get some artifact but would crash before it even shows artifact, need pump more voltage to overcome it, ussually artifact means ur gpu start hitting its limit, amd claims the card are safe to run at 95C l suppose it could withstand high voltage as well, no?

so PM me ur user pass in case.. oooh..

x
yes got like mem corruption.. not artifac i think is mem corruption think it hapen when clock mem to high... i think i need oc offset Volt... but too scare to permanant damage my Gpu... anf i don't think reference cards able to handle higher clock ... meanwhile TriX is Awesome... (can't wait to get another Trix..)

hehe.. my cards use Hynix.. but need to oc the offset Volt.. but scare la... scare permanent damage.. if gpu cost RM 100 okay la...

yeah but increasing the voltage
So...basically when we increase the voltage on the card, we increase one V at a time?

Eh, the CC 14.1 not supporting 280x isit? the benchmark look like not much of improvements.

im with you bro... lol this gpu aint cheap... money dont grow on tree...

x
But if oc Gpu core/mem okay la but try by increase it by 1-5% of base core to see if it stable.. and test it on benchmark for Temperature/Vrm1/2 temp also... no mem corruption/or artifact.. so is okay to increase another 5%.. (is wat sifu Shepard recommend me..p.s not exact word but almost same way lol! )

Touchwood.

Define how Tri-X is awesome? srsly if it's not the 2.2k price tag I would've bought it right away.

no pain no gain, try a little bit of tweaking steps by steps, start from 1.050v increase voltage by .025 per times to try out, play within 1.2v should be safe, nvidia are limiting the voltage at 1.175v but as every oc-er said, do it at ur own risk

But my 280X toxic stock volts already at 1.2V
No wonder they said it have low OC headroom.

bro relax la.. wait for 14.2 or 5 for a bit improve mantle support... is not like your R9 280X is super bottle necking.. lol your R9 280X is NextGen of improve Hd7970 one of the BiG boyZ R9 series!

x
oh in case ur not coming back from thai can i get your R9 280x ? ?!

here's another run 1240MHz/1375MHz, 1600x900 only though..1080p later. But this time with Accelero Extreme III cooler, really recommend this cooler

no thank you... i am happy with my Fps/temperature of my Humble gpu able to give me

Nice OC, break the 2k barrier!!!

mighty! score lols are u on top now ? saw u buy custom cooler from seller Lyn... what Vrm1/2 temp ?

also, speaking of memory type

Elpida is the low OC potential chip? normally i heard Hynix is recommended and widely used

based on GPU-Z my GTX780 is using Samsung memory modules

Choi! You have 2 R9 290X already, my 280x you take also waste space only.

Sigh seriously need to wait another 2 month, let the waiting game begins~

VRM1 - 87'C
VRM2 - 54'C
max temp - 65'C
fan speed - 100% virtually silent

I'll try to break 2k barrier later

bro u should get R9 290X.. u could do soo much!

Like this, was thinking of getting R9 290 with gelid cooler instead but the looks are...

yes but power... ! power! OC with Acceptable Noise! look Sapphire TriX look like bananana to me..
