GPU overclocking 1050ti

[mdb696969]

Hi, I have a GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Windforce OC 4G. I guess the oc means overclock so did it come overclocked out the box or do i have to do it my self? If so how do I do it without messing up my card? Will it reduce the lifetime of the card? Will the fps increase be high?Is it really worth it and is there a way to do it without having any problem as in without breaking the card.

This means the card is already pre overclocked out of the box however this doesn't limit you to overclocking yourself. Increasing clock speeds has little effect on a GPU life however voltage increases are a different story. I would recommend looking at tutorials online on how to overclock before you try anything. This can all be done with the software that came with your GPU but there are plenty of other software available for you to use too like MSI Afterburner.

Jay did a decent video on OC basics

What he said. Tho if you increase the voltage on a good GPU it will barely decrease it's life and I think I saw some experts say this in a video some time ago, your GPU will only use as much voltage as it needs even if you set it to use more. And on a GPU that's supposed to run for 7 years, you won't even take a year off it's durability with OC/voltage.
