SoI got my 390 yesterday, and I've had today to waste doing whatever. So I decided to venture out into the world of overclocking. I've only fiddled with MSI afterburner, so hopefully if I have done something stupid it's not damaged anything.

Temps according to GPU-Z (because MSI afterburner won't show me VRM temps?):

GPU temps at load (in heaven) are no more than 75 degrees.

VRM temps at load (in heaven) are no more than 71 degrees.

what are the stock setting for the gpu before you messed about with overclocking also how did you oc it so did you up the core clock a little bit then run a heaven benchmark then up the core speed? or did you do it a diffferent way im asking this because i noticed your core voltage is at +100

Sorry, forgot to stick that in the OP.

I basically stuck the core voltage to +100mV, the power limit to +50% and then bumped up the core clock until I got unpleasant artifacting and such. Then I started bumping up the memory clock.

Took the advice of someone here.

Stock: 1060 MHz / 6100 (so 1525?) MHz (OC Mode)

Do 100+mv and +50 power limit and just see what you can get. Why 81mv when you can do 100mv?

JayzTwoCents says he was running what he thought would be the max OC that most people could obtain, and usually he maxes out the power limit and core voltage on AMD cards, so I'd assume his Core Voltage was +100mv. Plus that card has a great cooler, so I don't see why not run it at +100mv.

Raise the core voltage and give it a shot, maybe you can get a stable 1175.

Most people recommend upping the clock until the card becomes unstable and then upping the voltage after. Also, I know a lot of people say to use the temperature as your primary limit... at least on nvidia. I've never overclocked, but I have been researching a ton lately because I'm about to take the plunge. JayzTwoCents just posted a video that reaffirmed a lot of what I had determined from my readings and video watching. I'm glad you posted this because I just bought a Sapphire 290 Vapor-X and it'll be a good reference!

We take the new MSI Radeon R9 390X GAMING 8G video card and overclock it to it fullest and compare it with an overclocked GeForce GTX 980 at 1440p and 4K in today's latest games. Find out how much overclocking the R9 390X improves performance, and wh...
