A little help needed with overclocking

I have overclocked my GTX 1050 Ti to +150MHz core, +250 MHz memory and have set the power slider to +125%. My only problem now is the voltage, as even on stock speeds my GPU is throttling on its 1.05V.

How does the percentage for the core voltage work and how far should I turn it up?

Core i7 8086k 4.0GHz (4.6GHz OC) - ASUS z390 ROG Maximus XI code - Corsair H115i - 16GB (2 x 8GB) G.SKILL Trident Z RGB 3600MHz - Windforce GTX 1050Ti - Corsair HX750i - Corsair Obsidian 500D RGB SE

To be clear, this overclock isn't going to be my daily gaming settings I just want to know how far this GPU can go performance-wise

As far as I know, you can crank the percentage for the voltage all the way up, but I wouldn't if it's throttling already. Try incrementing the core voltage in steps and see what the temperature does when under load.(Furmark or something)

I didn't word it right I meant that the voltage is being capped at 1.05V. The temps are around 40C

Then crank the core voltage watching the temp, keep it under 95C at all times.

What would you say is the furthest I should go? I am stable at +45% (about 0.03V over normal)

As far as you can without overheating, I cranked it to +100%.

Ok, I won't do any more for now but in the future I'll keep that in mind
