August 20, 201114 yr Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knew how to overclock this card. It is the Directcu ii card with custom PCB so I don't think afterburner works with it. Another point is how should I be testing it, I have been using Furmark but I don't know how long to test it for. Lately I have been rung it at 870MHz and 1.063V, I think. However it always resets and I have to reset it after the boot. I would like a more permanent OC that won't really degrade my GPU.

August 20, 201114 yr Avoid it. Don't bother trying. Unless you have one of these cards with the super big coolers, or dual fans etc I would avoid it. If it's the stock fan, it'll heat up too much.

I use the Smart doctor cos the MSI one doesn't work with the custom PCB. Now I am using GPU tweak which seems a modified MSI Afterburner its nice and I think I have solved the problem.

August 20, 201114 yr Ahhh. Then yes, you should be okay. But it isn't going to do much for FSX Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

August 20, 201114 yr Author It does a bit. I just want to be able to squeeze as much out of the system as possible. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
August 20, 201114 yr there's no reason for MSI Afterburner to not work with your card. Mine has a non standard PCB too.MSI Afterburner keeps the overclock after reboots
August 20, 201114 yr Author Well it works a but but the voltage tuner doesn't work. only the bottom for selections work. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
August 20, 201114 yr Well it works a but but the voltage tuner doesn't work. only the bottom for selections work. you need to unlock it. Settings -> General -> Unlock voltage control / Unlock voltage monitoring
August 20, 201114 yr Author I am happy with the ASUS one at the moment but maybe I will reinstall and give it a go. Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
