How far can the Gigabyte Windforce 2x GTX 960 can go?

[BugadinhoGamers]

I have a gtx 960 (GV-N960OC-4GD) and i would like to overclock it to its maximum potential (with MSI Afterburner) if you know what the max clock speed is comment below.

 

PS: i have 1 case fan though the place where i live is cold.

1.5 ghz max

 

Edit: With good cooling. Without ~1.35

What do you mean " Without ~1.35" , sorry for the noob question there.

tbh i was able to get similar results in the high 1400s mhz but i didnt see much ingame performance improvement after like 1400mhz. i had to overclock the memory to see any improvement but it really didn't matter what core clock i had after a certain point.

Ok, by how much should i increase the memory clock if i put the core clock at 1.45ghz?

Every card is different, just keep going up and keep testing

You can go as far as you like until you get this weird smell. By that time it's probably too late to even save it as the card is already fried. So next, you'll get a new GTX 960 and repeat the process.

i will post my results as soon as i am done overclocking. thanks for the tips.

1.61 ghz = Crash

 

1.55 ghz = Artifacting

 

1.50 ghz = Stable

There is no answer for this as every card is different, it's called silicon lottery for a reason.

 

Keep increasing clock speed and run heaven test until see artifacts or freeze or black screen then stop and decrease clock speed a little bit and re test until find stable clocks.

 

Of course doing all this with voltage and power limit cranked to max
