Title: HiTech GTX 660 question
Post by: loony1 on March 18, 2016, 12:32:56 PM

Do you or anyone else in game. use the PrecisionX 16 overclock tool? If so do you know of a good setting that can be used to improve frame rates in beta but not overly tax the card or burn out the card to quickly??

We do not use any over clocking tools here.  I'll move this to the Hardware and Software forum to see if you get any responses there.

By the way, HiTech has a GTX660 in his development system.  He usually disables environment mapping and leaves the rest at defaults.

You would probably be better off searching for stable settings through a Google search. I use Afterburner.

Precision for vid card OC.

I myself did not like it, went MSI Afterburner.

I just bought a 960 GTX card and I called the company for that same question. The gentleman told me that I didn't need to do anything. The precision software would operate automatically. So I'm leaving it alone till I find out otherwise.

I run all games at max settings across at 5760x1080 at 60 frames.  This includes racing sims, MechWarrior Online, Rainbow 6 and others on a stock 780ti reference cooler.  My 4770K has been untouched since installation and has never been overclocked.   I can only imagine the gains on one monitor regardless of resolution and have been considering an ultra widescreen.   But even then, I would not need to overclock my system. 

I guess I will never understand the constant tinkerers mind.  I have been told by members of this forum that my system is inferior, but their superior systems have nothing but problems.

I use Precision for monitoring purposes only.   I update my video drivers with at least two releases in between.  Just a firm believer in not updating things just to do it.

I have a GTX660

SweetFX is awesome

GTX960 seems to be getting good reviews, challenge had not gone on a jihad about it so that is saying something :)

Just be aware that the 960 really cannot make use of the 4GB memory, so you are better off saving cash and getting the 2GB version. I don't know much about AMD, but if you were to go that way I think the R9 290 can use all of its 4GB.

If it were me I would save up for the GTX 970 at the very least, but of course the new "X80" is coming so I won't be buying anything until I see something with HBM onboard.
