Memory Overclocking. Should do it?

[Cyberspirit]

Hey i'm just curious about what positive and/or negative effects can it cause if i try to overclock the Memory on my 1070.

If it is worth it then what should i watch out for when i'm benchmarking? Stuttering or weird glitches for example.

 

Here's my current OC profile in Afterburner if needed.

Spoiler

Also my card is an MSI Gtx 1070 Quicksilver OC if that matters but i doubt it.

Oh, VRAM, not DRAM, correct?

 

Well it's good to overclock the VRAM when your trying to overclock the actual processor, since you need it to feed a bunch of more data. But overclocking the VRAM too much can make it a bit unstable.

VRAM is what is what i'm curious about.

In benchmarks, overclocking VRAM does help a bit. In games, no affect with GDDR5 or D5X.

Huh? Didn't knew that. So i guess it would just be useless to do it.

GDDR5 is just so fast GPUs today cannot saturate its speed in games. Cheap graphics cards using the much slower DDR3 though do benefit from VRAM overclocking.

Ah alright. Thanks for clearing things up
