Overclocking my Gtx 1060

[thesciencebrain1]

Hye, I just got into overclocking. I have a gtx 1060 6gb sc (https://www.amazon.com/d/Computer-Graphics-Cards/EVGA-GeForce-GAMING-Support-06G-P4-6163-KR/B01IPVSLTC) and I want to overclock it. However, I don't know how much I should adjust my core/memory clock. Please help! ps right now I have it at about 1768 Mhz core and 1140 for memory clock, and power limit @ 100%. I use CAM for overclocking. I want max performance but I don't want my computer to crash as I've had before.

Overclocking is a process of trial and error, and your success is a matter of your luck in winning the silicon lottery. Just keep bumping up your clocks until as they're as high as possible while stable.

There's no definitive answer for "how much". Silicon lottery & all that.

Variables with silicon quality, cooling etc will dictate what is/is not achievable.

Being a single-fan design isn't likely to be helping you much on the temperature front.


Unfortunately when you start with overclocking you have to appreciate it's a lot of trial & error - for relatively minimal gains.


FWIW, that card will boost to 1835 MHz out of the box.
So, I assume you're talking that you've managed to bump the base to 1768MHz which would put the boost clock into ~2000MHz territory (assuming temps are in check).... I'd be very surprised if you managed to get (and remain) stable at that, honestly.
