I've been having major problems with overclocking my 670 ever since I got it. It runs perfectly normal at reference clocks speeds. But when i try overclocking it, even with a conservative overclock it just fails completely. For example I overclock it check gpu-z to see if my overclock was successful(it always is) than try running any game I frequently play(Battlefield 3). Firstly in BF3. When I start both the Single and Multiplayer it would crash in 1 second after it had finished loading. After it crashed and closed down BF3 I checked gpu-z again and saw that that the gpu had reset itself to reference clock speeds again. I would than proceed to start up a game of BF3 multiplayer and it would play just fine. I don't know if anyone else has the same problems but it is annoying the hell of me that I can't overclock my card to increase its performance especially since now that the GTX 660 ti has just launched and that extra 100 dollars I spent on my 670 is starting to seem like a bad buy. BTW I have tried the 301.42 WHQL driver as well as the latest 304.79 beta driver and the results were still the same.

What application are you using to over clock your card?

What is the over-clock frequency you are trying to over clock too?

And for information if the over-clock is showing in GPUz does not mean that it is stable, it just means those frequencies have been set.

I used Afterburner 🙂 Oh an I managed get a stable overclock already just by overvolting it. Upped my 3dmark 11 performance score from 8500 ish to about 9700 ish. Thanks for replying though.

Please beware, couple of my friend raise the voltage for this card end up RMA. So you need to be careful with the voltage raise.

All good mate enjoy your card, remember - voltage and heat kill VGA's. Keep an eye on your temps.

I still manage to keep my temps in the mid 60's 🙂 Ambient temps where I am is about 30 lol.

Load lol and that's in celsius. If that was idle temps than we would have a problem 🙂
