GTX 950 Overclocking?

[PCGuy_5960]

My graphics card is this: http://amzn.com/B013XFK0R6 

Under 100% load it hits ~1304MHz Core Clock, do you think it is worth overclocking at all or not?

if you feel like you need more performance, why not

Any ideas on the headroom? My ASIC percentage is 68.9% if it makes any difference at all

If you are going to overclock use MSI Afterburner

What else!

ASIC quality doesnt determine how far you can go

 

but it's normally higher than the boost clock

but not everyone gets lucky lol

some card doesnt overclock at all, so you won't know until you tried

OK, I'll see...

I have that exact same card.

+200 on core and memory went perfect.

I assume you've already raised the power limit to at least 110%, which is not really an "overclock" per se, but it lets the card reach the full turbo that it thinks it can.

Nope, this is STOCK!!! This is why I am impressed, as it has 1024MHz base clock...

well, you may want to up the power limit before going further into the realm of overclocking

Well, I was just thinking is it even worth it? (Overclocking as it reaches 40%+ clock speed out-of-the-box)

Raising the power limit is always worth it since it doesn't tell the card to run any faster, but tells it that it can if it wants to

You may not need or want to actually over clock, but adjusting power limit never hurts.

OK. Thx!
