gtx 1050ti overclock

[monk_]

Hey guys, i want some help, i have a Asus GTX 1050ti Expedition and i overclock today for the first time in my life my GPU has 3 years old and i want to last 3 more, my question is: it is safe to overclock? i got 160 core clock, 950 memory clock and 72 temp max, is safe this overclock? in today games(rdr2, cod mw) help to run it? is better keep stock or keep overclock?  my results are this, i run it only one time in this overclock and not crash it.

 

Main questions:- should i keep the overclock or stock?

                         - is a good overclock? if you guys have another config that is better and i can use it please

                         - it is safe in this 160 core 950 memory and 72 temp max?

                         - it's REALLY gonna help my fps in today games?

                         - can i keep this overclock for 3 years to come?

gpu overclocks are completely safe as long as you don't change the voltage

Safe because the max voltage is locked in the bios. Dont flash it to one that delibrately breaks it and you're fine

 

keep the OC, no harm in doing so so why not

Its a 50 series card, it was designed to be nearly out of date when it launched don't expect another 3 years unless you only play TF2 and continue to plan to do so. 

Like what dogbro said just don't frick voltage up and you will be fine with OC, just find stable setting, voltage and heat are the only things that will kill your components, and like AIChan said voltage is locked in bios so with MSI Afterburner you can't really kill a card (DO NOT fear "more power" setting, this is fine to crank up).  For most Nvidea cards a rough 10% in performance, in games, is about what you should get, not sure if this scales with Superpostion, but feel free to find stable clocks there first and move forward into games after for simplicity.  I prefer Valley or Heaven tbh since its usually quicker to run and more relevant to actual ingame performance, 3DMark is more for people who never had a GF in highschool and who are embarrassed about their dick size so they buy 2x 2080tis and then put them under LN2 to feel less emasculated, point being the end scores don't always scale accurately with actual games.
