I maxed out the settings using MSI Afterburner and Asus GPU Tweak II
You're lucky you didn't fry your card.I maxed out the settings using MSI Afterburner and Asus GPU Tweak II
I am lucky. But it got corrected.You're lucky you didn't fry your card.
I did a similar thing to my 6950. Went into TriXX and took it from the stock 800mhz to 1000mhz. Clicked Apply and my screen went black and the fan went to 100%. Thought I fried the card and I really freaked out because my motherboard doesn't have onboard video. Luckily, hitting the reset button on my case shut it off and it rebooted and worked fine after the reset.Haha yeah I did the same thing with the same card, I accidentally applied a 500 mhz overclock, as soon as the overclocking software loaded up and applied the overclock screen went black, I thought I fried my card.
Yeah I had the 6970, great card but didn't like to be oc'd at all.I did a similar thing to my 6950. Went into TriXX and took it from the stock 800mhz to 1000mhz.

My 6950 doesn't like being OCed at all. I tried taking it up to 850. Just a 50mhz increase, and even THAT crashed it
Not a lot of cards liked being OC'd without bumping up the voltage.My 6950 doesn't like being OCed at all. I tried taking it up to 850. Just a 50mhz increase, and even THAT crashed it
I've used a few different free OC programs and I have never seen an option to bump up the voltage. OR there's something I'm overlooking. Who knows lol.Not a lot of cards liked being OC'd without bumping up the voltage.
I finally did find a safe OC for my 6950. Took it from the stock 800mhz up to 825. Lmao I know its basically nothing but at least I can brag that I have an overclocked PC.Yeah I had the 6970, great card but didn't like to be oc'd at all.
CnQ does this automatically for you.I like to bump it up to 3.8 for gaming sessions then bring it back down to stock when I'm done
