Hello,
Need opinion on wheter or not i should overclock my Strix GTX 950.
Want to overclock it to gain additional gaming performance since i dont plan to upgrade in the near future.
My specs:
CPU:AMD A10 6800k 4.1Ghz
Ram: 2x4 Kingston HyperX DDR3
GPU:STRIX GTX 950 2G
PSU: 450W Gembird

The GPU temps when idling is 30c and under load when gaming 70c.

Do you think the PSU would be enough for overclocking since its pretty low budget,also upgrading the PSU is not an option.
Thanks in advance.

Im going to disagree with our Dark Lord of Tech, you can get pretty reasonable gains from the old 950. Each GPU is different, so you may get more or less performance than the below, but going from 37fps of a stock 950 to 45fps with overclocking marks a noticable difference. I say give it a try and replicate the clocks techpowerup used on the 950 below.

Do you think there will be stabillity issues due to the 450w cheap PSU if i try to replicate the clocks on Techpowerup?
