+210MHz core, +300MHz memory, 60% fan speedĪt first, I thought that +400MHz was stable, until a few specific tests told me it wasn’t. At +300MHz, I fell short of the TITAN X’s +400MHz, but ultimately, that won’t matter nearly as much as the core overclock. Where I failed to match the TITAN X is on the memory. Even more interesting, perhaps, is that on TITAN X, that required a slight voltage boost, but it didn’t on the GTX 980 Ti. What’s interesting, though, is that I hit the same core overclock as I did with TITAN X – +210MHz. With an ultimate boost of 210MHz to the core, though, that’s a bit odd to say, but I just felt like I was reaching hard ceilings very easily – ceilings, where if you merely dropped 5 or 10MHz, you’d be 100% stable. Not long after undertaking the task of overclocking the GTX 980 Ti, I realized that this card is more difficult to push than the TITAN X. So without further ado, let’s do this! Our GTX 980 Ti Overclock At the same time, I knocked the card back down to stock and conjured up some Best Playable results across nine titles. So, as I did with TITAN X, I spent a fair amount of time overclocking the 980 Ti. No, it’s fun to push buttons, and see what kind of true performance we can eke from the card through overclocking. We know that the GTX 980 Ti is a “ mini TITAN X“, in that it’s very fast for its $649 price tag, but it’d be no fun to leave things alone. Once AMD’s new series drops, which is expected to happen on the 16th, we could see a shake-up. The GTX 980 Ti carries a $150 premium over the non-Ti, but it’s fortunately warranted. The GTX 980 itself was what I considered to be “amazing”, when it was released back in September, and the Ti makes it even better by adding more cores to the mix. We established last week that NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 980 Ti is a great high-end card.
