Reference GTX 970 Safe Overclock

[Christo24K]

Hi, guys

 

It's my first time posting on linus tech tips and I was just wondering what are some safe overclock speeds for my 970. I currently have the core clock set at +104 which is only 1154 in total since I own a reference model. My memory clock is a modest +182. Although,  I haven't touched the core voltage and I don't mind using it if it helps. My reason for this overclock is better performance in Witcher 3.

 

Thank You for all your help

1400 should be good

Overclocking nowadays is always safe because of the limit they put in their BIOS/driver/software.

 

Go nuts.
