So i finnaly tryed overclocking on my gpu, but i don't know if i have fucked up. xD
I did a bechmark on 3dmark firestrike and it seems stable. But what conserns me is that both my gpu voltage and powertarget gets close to maxed out. (1212 voltage out of 1213 and 98% power). Is this bad, and if yes, what should i do?

PUBG is still not super optimized, it is likely a hard load on the GPU, the are cases where a GPU passes benchmarks but still crashes in games, you just need to lower your clocks slightly and it will be fine. the settings look okay I would argue though that i might be wroth loosing some core clock for a little less core voltage.
Well the power target getting maxed just means that the card is nearing its power limit, that is fine as long as you can cool it still.

As for the voltage, Third party overclocking softwares will never let you fry the card, so I would not be worried about damage, but it could be making the card un hotter than it needs to.

What overclocking software are you using, can we have a screen shot of what the settings are?
 


Well i think my temps are fine, it wont get over 70C atleast. I used Asus gpu tweak to overclock (came with the card). https://gyazo.com/2063e1836d90d94582f344ed2d618920 (settings).

And btw even if the benchmark went fine it seems like i have started to crash now for time to time in the game pubg. Seems weird :/
