    Some stable frequencies to get a bit better performance from my m11x r2?

    Hi guys

    So i've recently taken up SWTOR and have noticed i can only play on low graphics which makes me quite :( . I currently have my m11x r2 CPU OC'd to 150 through bios and yes i use TS.

    i installed Nvidia system tools 6.08 so that i may OC my memory and GPU also but i have no idea what to clock it to or what the 'factory shipped frequencies' are - without knowing what they are i could accidentally be setting the frequencies lower than it was shipped with. i dont really want to mess around stress testing it as i dont have the time and i'm just a little afraid :p

    So i was wondering, would anyone be able to tell me some nice stable frequencies for the graphics, memory and processor clocks? Also should i set my bios overclock setting to normal and just use nvidia tools?

    Thanks
    (P.S. for those not familiar with nvidia system tools 6.08 i've included a ss below)

    use MSI combustor + Msi afterburned to test stability, WAYYYY easier to work with than nvidia... if you don't like having the extra software just delete the MSI apps after you find max stable Mhz for your GPU.

    I got an R3, so i can't help much with estimates, but i guess you could expect atleast 10% OC (frequency, not performance :) )

    Hey there!

    I've been running completely stable at 540/1296/854, though I've recently been trying to push it a little higher. Never had a crash on that set, though.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure those values match up correctly though with nvidia tools 6.08 as the memory frequency cannot be set that high (refer to screenshot) i think you are using the older version
