[SOLVED] Recommended overclocking for a gtx 1050?

[endychicosaneth]

I have a gtx 1050, (https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Geforce-GDDR5-Graphic-GV-N1050OC-2GD/dp/B06X9GLGSC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1529864827&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL652) and I don't know if I should overclock it at all. On the title screen, the voltage is at around 0.825, sometimes dropping to 0.675 and sometimes going up to 1.100.

I have a 400w power supply (https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Warranty-Power-Supply-100-N1-0400-L1/dp/B00LV8TZAG/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1543031059&sr=1-3)
and I do not know if i should overclock the gpu.

At times my graphics card crashes, and doesn't allow me to overclock it. I am questioning if I should overclock it in the first place, and if so what MHz. I use MSI Afterburner and Speccy to view some information .

A 1050 is not worth overclocking.

A 1050 is not worth overclocking.

So would overclocking it make no difference?

Hello endychicosaneth,

I also have a Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 2 GB O.C. Edition in my AMD build. This is the overclocking edition, so why Blackbird would say that makes no sense to me. I overclock mine and it's absolutely worth it. The default core clock is 1380 MHz and memory is 1752 MHz, boost is at 1493 MHz. This card handles overclocking well. I'm currently running the core clock at 1524 MHz, memory at 1814 MHz and the boost is 1637 MHz. And it does make a noticeable difference. I'm averaging 80+ fps in GTA V with 'Very high' texture settings and everything else set to normal or high. All other settings are maxed like the power limit is set to +107%, Temp is maxed at 97... All that being said I am a little concerned with you only having a 400 watt power supply. That's what it's rated at but if you look closely on the side of the box it says the maximum output is only 360 watts, Peak. So I don't know why they dubbed it a 400 watt supply. I have an EVGA 400 watt in an older socket 755 I'm still running. That could be one of the reasons you're crashing. Hard to say as I do not know the rest of your system specs. I'm running no less than 600 watts in the PC with the 1050. In fact, I don't like anything less than that for any gaming system.
