Do you see an improvement by overclocking Video card?

[SCG_motoadve]

GTX 1080 I7 440 , runs pretty good maxxed out.

 

now and then a stutter though.

 

Does overclocking video card helps in this game?

Hi,

 

Overclocking your CPU helps more. When does it stutter? With lot's of AI units?

I think OC the CPU does much more for this game.

PS: I don't understand your specs... What CPU do you use?

[SCG_Space_Ghost]

Not likely - the game is heavily CPU bound.

Lots of AI is when gets stutter.

Tried to overclock it but seems this processor wont do it.

It's the processor then when you have stutters with lots of AI around. Since it is a 4770k you should be able to overclock. You will need a good CPU cooler and good cooling in your PC case in general. What is the stock speed of your CPU?

Ahh that helps. I found 440 a weird number because is belongs to an ancient I5 CPU  .  The 4770K should be OC able to quite a nice degree. I buddy of mine has it running on 4,3 Ghz. I OC'ed mine from 4.0 to 4,7, and it helped a lot. If you don't want to go through all the hassle... Somewhere around december the devs are going to update to DX11. That should really help to get the bottleneck of your CPU and make full use of that nice GPU of yours. So start tweaking or have some patience.

Its running at 3.9GHz in boost mode, cannot get it past this speed.

Default its 3.5

What motherboard are you running?

That is weird. I think you should try to find the problem first. In what way does it not get past this speed?

 

- Does it overheat? 

- Does it get unstable?

- You actually can't get it past the 3,9 setting?

Depending on the motherboard family, you may not be able to overclock. The Z models should be fine.

Exactly - I've also had non-Z, X, etc. chipsets that overclocked fine but it really comes down to the board which is why I asked.

 

It'd be more beneficial to the OP (even if he doesn't know it) if we turned this thread into a "How to help Motodave OC higher" thread - this may give him the extra envelope in performance that he's looking for.

Ram!

Ram!

 

I really don't think more RAM memory than the usual 16 GB is useful. Some even go as far as saying that more than 8 GB is overkill.

Maybe he means overclocking the RAM. That helps for some games although the bottleneck is usually somewhere else.

I don't think that's going make a lot of difference. And doesn't this mean that you need to overclock through the FSB? 

 

PS: Nice rig.

Type of RAM can affect ability to overclock CPU

The RAM doesn't affect the overclock of the CPU as long as you overclocked by the CPU multiplicator. The RAM is not overclocked.
