It varies. Just bring it up a little by little and stress it until you don't feel like it anymore.

The stock clocks. 

 

There are no universal safe OC settings, it will change for each individual chip. The card has GPU Boost 2.0, so it technically overclocks itself, so whatever it runs at on its own is the safe clock speeds. Anything above that is unknown and you'll have to test it.

Turn up the power % limit and it will boost more

I agree, that's how OC's should be done.  Kids complain constantly about how their card's not working properly, my PC is crashing and when you ask what did you do with the GPU?  I did a big OC.  I sit there and shake my head.

Also, I don't know why but your sounds like an innuendo.  Curse my dirty mind.

Does OC void your warranty???

I dont think it does, otherwise, using the gaming app's oc button would do so too

Well, you might be right, its boosting to 1378 right away

I'm kind of stuck myself as to how much voltage is OK. With my 290/390 I just maxed out the voltage, but not sure on the 980ti myself.
