Overclocking

[Fieldsy12]

I currently have a gtx 960 and I want to overclock it but I don't know what to put the memory clock offset at. And Idk which one is better between the gpu clock and the memory clock

keep memory clocks as default and raise gpu clocks

Just test it a little bit.

OC by 20MHz, untill it crashes. Once it crashes, just take step back and try to find stable OC.

YOu won't destroy your card that way.

 

GPU OC will give you more benefit than memory OC.

I got my gpu offset to like 250 but it didn't improve my fps at all

Well in that case you might just lost silicon lottery big way.

What's that?

its a "lottery" about how high you can overclock while having the lowest temps and lowest voltage. not all GPUs are created equal. same thing goes for CPUs back then old skool Xeons where the top of the silicon lottery and would get really high overclocks with very little volts and low temps

So I should turn up my voltage?

ok ive never OCd a GPU but i oced a bunch of CPUs and im assumming its similar to OCing a GPU. other members correct me if im wrong but your start with a slight voltage bump then increase clock speed a bit and test for stability and temps, if its stable and temps are fine keep increasing the clock speed and keep testing for stability until it crashes, once it crashes you know that it needs another mini voltage bump, rise and repeat until you get to a point where it is stable and you are comfortable with the extra volts and temps then call it a day.
