7970m...how high can it overclock?

take a look at techinferno\Clevo

 

Can you post the link to the thread please??

 

LINK does not increase the voltage above 1.075V for crossfire, with 1.1+V for crossfire power supply will squeal, maybe will jump voltage and will kill you laptop , my power supply at 1.2V knocked and led does not lights up , can be a very costly event for you, enjoy a safe environment and Tweaking of being rational

VSS

 

the PSU can be modded you know...check TI forums lol someone put 2 240 or 2 330 together

 

330W power supply knocked to the single gpu about 30 min Valley , I guess it has worked with a protec on ​​line 12V

 

it is true dell really pushes those PSUs to the limit and not even with maxed rig :/ they really need to offer better PSU selection.

 

no diffrence all depends how extra stability is the motherboard,

 

hardly you throw an XM chip with 2 GPU 330 watt wont cut it. You cna brick that all day long. If i throw an XM chip in my M17x its 240watt would brick all day long under load....hence why that one guy built a dual PSU. and other have converted a 330 for the m17x R4

 

will be too large voltage differences can be instability of the system,
maybe I've done wrong without changing 2d power plan, the system stopped working, the change in voltage
0900V to 1.175V and more in my opinion is too big, start 3mark at more @ 1.125Mhz GT LOAD stop the system , after loading can be changed at a faster clock speed

 

voltage maybe too big but what i was talking about was if your bricking the PSU than it isn't a card or motherboard issue.

 

I do not know exactly where the problem, I think the motherboard and the PCIE power supply is overloaded @ high VCORE , 7970M is EOL for me , possible can tweak the PCI-E bus?, but it will not be that easy but it would accelerated the performance at slower clock and lower voltage

 

not a clue sorry. why do you even need that high over voltage? i can't see a reason to have voltage higher than 1.1v

 

I am looking to undervolt, thanks for the link.

At the moment I'm running 950/1350 clocks at stock voltage.

 

good cards that can be set 1.025V and tweak up to 1Ghz for CrossFire

 

alright so before i though NWN2 used 50-70% of my GPU but i missed a few graphics settings. So at 1920x1200 with max graphics i get 40-60FPS 100% usage and 1100MB vram used. The game is 8 years old! How did anyone play it 8 years ago? I am shocked on how much is required to play that game. How amny times faster is the 7970m compared to the 2600XT/2700 -_- This 8 year old game i couldn't even play at 4k with a 290X lol. I would need two. Shesh

 

What game?

Sent from my baked potato

 

Neverwinter Nights 2

 

in the driver CCC Profile GAMES and all settings on MAX possible and utilization will be greater, as CPU will not be responsible factor for the low utilization gpu.

 

What?

10 char

EDIT: might want to reread my post. I have 100% utilization...i am shocked that the game is so damn GPU heavy. It is so old lol.

BTW i played around with CCC settings for a little bit and i would not ever use those personally. I tried to for RCT3 for fun and it makes everything blurry. The added AS/AA softens everything to a point where clarity is lost by a ton. Also it doesn't effect CPU at all. Just added an extra filter over everything and arguably makes it worse.

 

ohhhh sorry

 

Hi Guys
I have my 7970m's overvolted @ 1.075v, They aren't top notch cards so I max out at about 975-990mhz on the core depending on the benchmark.
Just wondering if you have had much success with 1.1v and possibly even 1.125v?

 

1.1 is the highest typically before you have worse results but most people see no benefit for that voltage. I wouldn't recommend that as a perm voltage but if you want to try it give it a shot

 

Yep, I'm just number chasing so it'll be at 1.1v for a night and then I'll probably turn it down back to stock
Thanks

 

just got a 3940xm and run 3dmark11. gpu at 1036/1614
AMD Radeon HD 7970M video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-3940XM,CLEVO P170EM

 

In muy case, I look for mid-tier laptops that could deliver best performance; by comparing benchmark results and price. High-end stuffs are not cost-efficient.

 

Temps too high for a stock clocked 8970M??

While playing BF4 on Medium settings.

that is honestly debatable....do you plan using the same laptop for 3 years or 5 years? If three years that is a lot different. You will build 2 laptops in the time i guy 1 with a couple small upgrades. My m17x R4 will cost me about 3-4 grand over 5 years with upgrades. That counts having a really good/long warranty too. So it'll cost me 600-800 dollars a year not including salvage and resale value, which means i'll probably only pay 2000+ to 3000+ over that 5 year period, which turns out to not be that expensive after all. Also for me i need the performance. My time is worth more to me than a grand difference over 3-5 years since i'll probably get that back in time saved/enjoyment.

are you referencing someone or are you saying those temps are high?

 

Are you saying that they are a bit high?

 

what is utilization? and what is fan speed? context matter. medium settings dont mean anything. I can play a game at low settings and use the same GPU on high settings...difference is 30 frames and 100 frames per second

you are only giving half the store and no educated statement ca be given without the full picture, which you are leaving out for some weird reason.
