Overclocking 1060 does not work

[Disketa]

Memory clock works fine, but it does not increase gpu clock for some reason. Any idea why it does not work?

Probably should start with a little less than 224mhz on the core to see if it's stable. But have you given your GPU a load that it needs to boost above the core speed? It should boost to the highest frequency it can boost to once it has a load that needs it. But sometimes it boosts too high and crashes if the frequency is too high, hence try coming from a little lower value and see if it boosts up with a load like Fire strike or heaven.

Yes, tried it now on bf1, and it works, it is on 2129mhz

Thanks, did not notice any problems so far

Ok so the problem was that you tried overclocking it on desktop and didn't notice any results? Ok, good that it was solved.

As for testing your GPU OC stability, you should push the gpu core and memory as high as they go and stay stable with let's say Heaven benchmark. Then try to run the same values with Fire strike or Time spy. Once those benchmarks are stable try gaming a bit and after you deem your OC stable, just take off like 10mhz from both memory and core and you should be stable until degradation sets in after some years.
