![]() ![]() At 1440 mode the bad news is it has a lot more pixels to push, but the good news is it takes much less to make it gorgeous since it's got more pixels packed in the same real estate. To really see this card shine, go with MFAA supported games and put it to 2x MSAA and let MFAA effectively double it, omg everything looks great with that combo and with a framerate cap at 90 it's as good as a single card can provide. Thermaltake comes with a 4 pin molex adapter and a low speed switch for 900rpm operation so it's super quiet and you don't need to mess with a fan curve for those. I mounted another one in the 3.5 inch empty bays with some foam to hold it and it's blowing across the whole card on both sides because the blank side of the card will hit 120f in certain spots, so a breeze helps there. The other great thing that worked is mount a Thermaltake fan in the side case vent pointed right at the card so it's feeds outside air directly on to it. The fan curve is huge for these, I use 30% at 35c, then jump it to 40% all the way to 56c and take it in a diagonal up to 50% at 70c which covers any situation at 1440 mode pushing it to the limits. Also I did benchmarks and it's maxed out, going higher didn't give any gains. I tried higher clocks and even +120 gives random crashes in World of Warcraft. I have the same card and the best I could get rock solid stable pushing it to the limit is:Īll the performance comes from the memory overclock, it's 40fps out of the box for that alone. It's a free piece of software with a range of features (mainly the GPU overclocking) and a custom fan profile for a perfect balance of performance and cooling. It was causing the core clock speed to stay at the default setting or which ever setting was. It's very reliable and works with non-MSI graphics cards as well. My fix was to uninstall the MSI Gaming APP. Yeah i think there's a limit to how much you can increase memory and core clock speeds before you need to add voltage, so i might just stick to what's possible without changing the voltage. MSI Afterburner MSI Afterburner is one of the most popular GPU overclocking apps available. However, ANY voltage increase isn't needed for improvement in gaming performance, thought it definitely boosts it. Yeah, I initially added +15 voltage, but have heard all the talk about how high voltage is what really damages the GPU, so I tuned it down to +10. That's great! Did you add any voltage to it by any chance? I don't feel too confident about toying with it. This is a very powerful card that can handle overclocking extremely well. Which is odd, because I was always told that laptop's couldn't handle overclocking due to heat. I have an Alienware 15 R3 laptop and was pushing it with +250 MHz core clock (and was even going +300 MHz), and it never got above 63 degrees. I just got the same 1060 as you, is that the best oc you could get or did you get something better out of the card? Just wondering how much i could push it. If you must ask a question that could possible more accurately answer my question, ask away! I would like to ask for the max overclock for the EVGA GTX 1060 6gb. ![]()
