First timer Overclocking Question

[XRarehunterX]

Hey I am doing my first GPU overclock with a Gigabte Windforce RX460 OC and i was wondering how do you know when you overclock the memory too far ? Sorry if this is a dumb question .

It will crash or artifact like if the core clocks were pushed beyond the limits.

so if it runs and there is  no tearing or anything its good even if i have the sliders maxed out, i guess i should have mentioned I'm using the Gigabyte Xtream Gaming engine to overclock my GPU.

memory OC's usually result in driver failure or black screens. 

 

core OC's will show artifacts more. In my experience.

Head towards:

 

1300 on the core and 2000 on the memory.

well my memory was at 7000 and i took it up to 7200 which is all the further it would let me

So far i have it at 1262 on the core and  7200MHz for the memory. the core clock it crashes if i take it up to 1267.

Decent. Is power and voltage maxed? 

 

If you find your max on the core, start pushing the memory (ensure that the core OC is stable first).

what I'm using for my overclock doesn't have a power option plus the card i have doesn't have any power connectors its only uses the power from the PCIe slot and that's all
