Alternative to MSI-Afterburner

[Kyze]

Hi guys,

since my GPU is now under water, id like to get the overclocking one step further!

But since the unofficial Overclocking-mode in AB doesnt work with the recent drivers, id like to know if there are alternatives that let me get the core voer 1125mhz

(Yes i did use the AB with the driver-dlls and but the overclocking mode then made the screen flicker with the slightest rise of the core-clock, even from like 925 to 926 so my first guess was the AB not getting it done)

I know about Sapphire trixx and evga precision, but do they let me overclok beyond cccs limits?

What do you use for overclocking?

What GPU exactly do you have?

 

[Kyze]

HIS 7970, right now at maximum of 1125 core and i think 1575 mem.

Sitting at 42° under max. load

I'm sure the programs will get updates soon to account for drivers. Why not just max out CCC temporarily. What screens do you have? and how many?

 

[Kyze]

Yea its maxed out already so nothing more to do unfortunately

Got 2 23" FullHDs, but only gaming on one and using the other as space for skype/AB-monitor and my musicplayer.

I hope they get teh AB to run again.

Honestly IMO if you are gaming on 1 monitor then even a stock 7970 is more than enough, so I say just get it up to the max it can be now and then just leave it

I know, i dont have any FPS-issues whatsoever.
I just wanna try how far i can get it under water, considerung on air it sucked balls!

Trixx should do the job.
I wouldn't try ASUS GPU Tweak, I've heard bad things about it, with BSOD's.
I think GIGABYTE also has Overclocking software, not sure though.
