GTX 1060 reaches 2000 Mhz without Overclocking !!!

[Ali86]

Hi guys,

I got my new Gaming pc today , i7 7700k + Asus GTX-1060-O6G-Gaming

I benchmarked my card with heaven and tested it with EVGA precision xco and asus tweak 2 and i got up to 2000 Mhz and temp : 75 without any overclocking !!
Is that normal for such a 1060 card ???
Do you recommend me to overclock it and push it more ??

Thanks
Ali

Yeah it's normal, It's Nvidia GPU Boost.

If you're satisfied with the level of performance you don't have to overclock.
Remember that overclocking stresses components and increase heat and power consumption and can shorten their life(and can void warranty). Your card seems to boost to a good level by itself so it would not bother.

I wouldn't bother OC , like I said it's normal and performs very well as is.
