![]() Despite that INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE mishap (I kept it as a reminder of how to be stupid) as a result of my getting impatient - I'd still recommend for the enthusiast wanting more oomph or less crashes as it oomphs. I got lazy on about stick 7 since things took so long. I am the type of clown that accidentally peeled off an IC from a stick of ram while attempting to take off the thermal padding with a heat gun. If there are heat spreaders on them, I try not to remove them to make something else fit. If a box of ram comes with a ram fan, I'll use it. if the ram is cooled if overvolted or otherwise overclocked in some manner.* I've found many people don't worry much about ram, but my experience has been there's a lot less 0x000000c5 and other 7a, d1, and other similar errors regarding ram or generically writing to disk from unstable ram. Msi afterburner didnt ask any of that and worked better for me. I don't know what options, if any, may avail themselves to you, but I found bios/firmware that allowed me to raise my voltages until it didn't work right (meaning-OC'd as far as I could reliably take it with hours of testing at the final speed I could reach) that was otherwise unachievable with the evga bios-with or without their weird precision stuff or msi afterburner.Īs far as the precision tool is concerned, I thought that it stunk as a tool, and worse, the box says it comes with it and yet it required me to create a login and fork over an email address to get it? And I had to download it after logging in and confirming I'm me, rather than install off a CD? and it stunk anyway? screw that. I say this because I had to do so in order to raise my voltage cap. It's such that I now have to actually think about what the card actually is, because any benchmarks or system info etc all reports it was manufactured by somebody else. I actually flashed my EVGA cards to have ASUS roms. Ima try out some games just to see if I can get it to crash.ĮVGA, in my experience, has good hardware but external limitations. This time I would constantly see the GPU hitting the 2100mhz mark, if I were to switch software and use the exact same settings my game would crash, and or my card wouldn't run at the frequency EVGA gives it. It rarely hits 2100mhz, it more so stays around 2000 to 2050 sometimes dipping into the high 1900s with MSI afterburner yet THAT is somehow unstable with MSI which got annoying very quickly.īut with EVGA, somehow, gives me the ability to OC much higher than MSI while being way more stable otherwise. MSI afterburner would have a max boost clock of 2100mhz, anything higher than that games would start to crash within 5 mins, and that isn't always at 2100mhz. My laptops GPU will run at 1065mv which would be around 2119mhz, at least thats what EVGA is telling me on the clock curve chart (or VF curve chart, once again no clue what VF is.) Yeah, I did stress test it- sort of- by using EVGAs 'test' feature? Score was "3" what ever that means, I quickly looked it up and couldn't find anything without digging around for while. Don't know how one software can differ from the other when its doing the same thing - overclocking. Never seen or had this happen to me before. MSI would crash within 15 mins if I had these clock speeds set in MSI afterburner. From 15mins ingame time, it was completely stable. ![]() I don't know if what I said makes any sense, but what I mean is EVGA is giving me better, higher and more stable clock speeds. ![]() I would constantly see the clock speed dropping to low 2000mhzs and sometimes 1900s. The GPU would constantly throttle with MSI afterburner, it would never stay at 2100 or 2080mhz under load. This NEVER happened when I was using MSI afterburner. And power throttling for some reason, didn't happen as often. ![]() Just played some RE2, maxed out settings etc, and it was completely stable, never dropped below 2000mhz, and would constantly boost to 2100. Max clock speed/boost speed is 2134mhz now (215 on the core now), and this time, EVGA didn't mess with the clock curve unllike MSI afterburner. I decided to try out EVGA Precision X1 and these issues were fixed. Why is it changing the clock curve so much? Max clock speed would jump form 2085 to 2100, and sometimes it'll drop to 2055? And this is with a manual overclock of 205+ on the core. some games wouldn't be fully stable with the 205 overclock, and msi changes the clock curve randomly too. On my laptop which has a 1660ti, if I overclocked the core by 205 which would be around 2085 max boost, and would boost to around 2055-2070 in games - but. ![]()
