980 ti Overclock Results? What are yours?

[GDomo]

What are some of the reults you got when overclocking your GTX 980 ti?

I have a MSI GTX 980 ti OC 6GB gpu and I actually got a 40% boost on my memory clock without much temperature change.

That doesn't mean anything unless it's providing stable gaming and a real-world % increase to your FPS; otherwise it's pointless beyond benchmarking scores.

There isn't a temp module on the memory, so any increases in memory temp can not be measured by monitoring software. The temp you are most likely observing is core temp.

Yes, GPUs only have the GPU Core sensor. You have no idea how hot the VRAM is getting.
You will know, by the stability of the GPU Performance however, as VRAM is much more sensitive to instability then the GPU Core is. Games generally would be crashing left and right if the Memory OC is too high. Basically the same for a CPU, RAM, or GPU Core as well; but the effects of how that presents itself can vary.

We're just now reaching that point (don't ask me why; seems like this should have been a thing 10 years ago); where GPUs such as EVGA ICX have many sensors for monitoring; multiple temp sensors onboard the card, etc.

But to answer the question, I have had a 980 Ti at 1590mhz on the core (could never get it to 1600mhz, sadly) and 7900mhz on the mem. Full coverage water block. Served me well, until I sold it.

Above 1280 MHz OC'd on the GPU, but stable for hours on end.
The VRAM overclock doesn't impact performance as much as the GPU is not data starved.

I don't bother OC the memory too much, but my 980 TI is stable at 1.55Ghz which is pretty impressive for a stock model.

Core clock is at about 1.7 GHz... still runs smoothly and stable
