MSI GTX 970 4GD5T OC - Overclock Setting Help

[luckystrikes]

Hello Community,

I am planning to overclock my Video Card soon and need help from the community here.
As I don't have any clues to what Mhz is safe to overclock my GPU to.

This is the GPU that I recently bought.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127833&cm_re=msi_gtx_970_4gd5t-_-14-127-833-_-Product

Would anyone help me around getting the safe amount as to overclock my GPU?
I don't want to overclock way high but just enough to see a bit faster mode?

I am going to use MSI Afterburner.

Thanks in advance !!\

Cheers

Overclocking GPUs really doesn't yield decent performance increases. You'll get a max increase of about 4fps on an exceptional overclock.

Not overclocking also saves you the worry of de-stabilising your GPU.

Oc a video card takes time, its a trial an error type of thing. Anyways a good overclock should give you 5-20% in performance boost, that also depends on your hardware etc etc. here a guide to help you understand a bit http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/msi_geforce_gtx_970_gaming_review,26.html
