Best overclock settings for evga 1070ti sc black?

[DangerousDan]

I'm a complete newbie to overclocking and I just picked up this card  2nd hand. What's the best overclock I can get out of it via msi afterburner?

Every GPU is different, it's called silicon lottery. Give it a whirl, find out how far it goes.

 

A mediocre Pascal overclocker will go a bit above 2000, a decent OC is above 2100, and a great OC is 2200+

Pascal voltage is locked so power limit and frequency is all you get. Go ahead and max power, slap +100, see what happens.

You can also overclock your VRAM which will help improve performance.

So using unigine heaven benchmark 4.0, 3840x2160 at high settings, the difference was minimal.

Pascal voltage isn't fully locked per-say, it just has very little room to tune above stock specs. If you have a card with a high enough power limit vbios you can take advantage of it, typically a pascal card will hover around the 1.043v mark with jumps to 1.063 dependent on power limits, temperatures, and level of demand. By raising the voltage, the card is given access to a voltage bin that is otherwise never used by a stock card, specifically ending at 1.093v. For instance, my 1070 ti gaming cannot take advantage of this since my vbios limits me to around 220w so that leaves me stuck around the 2050mhz mark for my particular card.
