Best Overclocking Settings

[Sunshine_95]

Hi i want to ask what are the best overclock settings for gpu,cpu and ram to play games like Rise of tomb raider and gta 5 without harming the components.
My specs are -
Processor : Intel core i5 3450
Ram : Corsair vengeance 4GB ddr3 x 2 = 8 GB total
Gpu : Msi Geforce gtx 1050 OC 2 GB
Gigabyte H61M-S1 motherboard

CPU is completely locked so you can't overclock the CPU. As for memory, I don't think you can either, but you might be able to adjust the timings, I'm not sure. Either way, overclocking memory won't yield massive performance benefits.

Overclocking your GTX 1050 will though however. Use something like MSI Afterburner to overclock the 1050 as high as you can, raise the mhz in 50mhz increments until you reach instability, then back off by say 25mhz, then stress test for 2 hours. Do the same with vram.

Thanks
I found my proper overclocking limits to max out gta 5 and run TR in High and very high settings mixed.
Core clock @ +115Mhz
Memory clock @ +200Mhz
Max GPU Temp - 70 Degree @ 85%-90% use.
Max CPU temp - 68 Degree @ 90%-92% use.
Looks much better now

Excellent. The GTX 1050 has a lot of overclocking headroom vs all the other pascal cards.

What memory is on your 1050? (use GPU-Z) I'm able to get 500mhz on the memory clock on my 1060.

it has 2GB GDDR5 memory.
As i started to get stable frames (Increased fan graph manually) and better graphics i stopped memory clock at +200Mhz.

Sorry I mean what model of memory do you have? (Samsung, Hynix, etc.)

You might be able to get a faster memory clock. Only lower the memory clock if you noticed FPS NOT increasing.

In fact fps will decrease with GDDR5 OC when its not stable, its ECC which means it downclocks to compensate and not crash.

I dont bother OCing video anymore, not the GPU or memory, performance gain is not worth it unless over 15% increase and I havent had a card do that since a 8800GT. I just stick to CPU and push it till it bleeds

Its Samsungmemory sorry i just got GPU-Z and saw GDDR5 (Samsung)

You should be able to push a bit further. If you want.

ok thanks might stick to this one for now as m getting 60FPS
