OC is dependent on the card. Some need more power, some need less. Some might not overclock as well as others.

 

You should try getting MSI afterburner and raising the max temp limit and power limit to see if that helps you any without having to resort to overclocking. If that doesn't help, go slowly and add in core clock, but you might have to add voltage to it to make it stable. Also, the base clock of your card sets how much you're able to offset to. Some cards have a higher factory overclock than others.

 

I think the most I managed to get out of my 980 Ti was 1500MHz on the core. You might try overclocking the VRAM clock as well.

I have a 980 ti and I want to oc it 100mhz for gta because I get frame drops. But I have a few questions about it. First of all, should I adjust the fan speed? I have a reference card and if I oced it would it thermal throttle if it got to hot thus making the overclock useless? Also 100mhz shouldn't need any adjustment to the power limit right?

Well, try it. If it gets too hot, increase fan speeds. If it is unstable, add voltage. That's how OCing works. you just gotta do it

Main Rig: R9 5950X @ PBO, RTX 3090, 64 GB DDR4 3666, InWin 101, Full Hardline Watercooling

Server: R7 1700X @ 4.0 GHz, GTX 1080 Ti, 32GB DDR4 3000, Cooler Master NR200P, Full Soft Watercooling

LAN Rig: R5 3600X @ PBO, RTX 2070, 32 GB DDR4 3200, Dan Case A4-SFV V4, 120mm AIO for the CPU

HTPC: i7-7700K @ 4.6 GHz, GTX 1050 Ti, 16 GB DDR4 3200, AliExpress K39, IS-47K Cooler

Router: R3 2200G @ stock, 4GB DDR4 2400, what are cases, stock cooler
 

I don't have a problem...

If you will do it with MSI Afterburner... You pretty much can't kill your card. 

Intel i7 3770k@4.7GHz delidded | NZXT Kraken x62 | Asus P8Z77-V PRO/Thunderbolt | G.Skill Ripjaws Z 16GB (2x8GB) 2400Mhz | EVGA GTX 1070 FTW

Phanteks Eclipse P400 Tempered Glass | EVGA SuperNOVA 750W P2 | 840 evo 256gb + HyperX 3k 480gb + 2 HDD (2TB) | Asus Essence STX + Sennheiser HD580

AOC G2460PG 144Hz 24" + Asus VH236H 23" | Razer Blackwidow Tournament Edition Stealth | Logitech G703

Yes I can concur, overclocking the VRAM helps a lot too. I could overclock my GTX 980 VRAM from 7Ghz to 8Ghz no problem, and it made a pretty significant difference in performance.
