do you know the optimal overclock configurations for this graphics card, since it isn't the ssc model? here are your system details: intel i5-4460 at 3.2ghz, 8gb ram, running windows 10, asrock h97m anniversary edition motherboard.

It's not feasible to provide the optimal configuration as system specs, cooling setups, and room conditions vary widely. The most reliable approach is to test MSI Afterburner or Precision X with your EVGA card (I still favor AB for those cards). Slowly increase core and memory settings and keep the power limiter at 110%. If you notice issues like dots, artifacts, crashes, or driver errors, lower the speeds back to stable levels. Remember to document the final settings after each adjustment. Also consider creating a custom fan profile with high RPM and temperature control if needed.

It's not feasible to provide the optimal configuration as it varies based on individual hardware, cooling systems, and room conditions. The most reliable approach is to test MSI Afterburner or Precision X with your EVGA card (I still favor AB for those cards). Slowly increase core and memory settings and set the power limiter to 110%. If you notice issues like dots, artifacts, crashes, or driver errors, revert to the previous stable speeds. Consider creating a custom fan profile with high RPM and temperature thresholds if you're pushing overclocks to boost stability.

No single setting can be considered optimal as everyone's hardware, especially cooling and room conditions, vary. The safest approach is to try MSI Afterburner or Precision X with your EVGA card (I still favor AB for those cards). Slowly increase core and memory, and set the power limiter to 110%. If you notice dots, artifacts, crashes, or driver errors, you've exceeded safe limits—go back to the last stable speeds you recorded. Also, create a custom fan profile with high RPM and temperature control if you're pushing for a more aggressive overclock.

Consider altering the voltage settings if necessary.

Do I really need to adjust the voltage settings? I believe it's not possible to change them manually. At least on my EVGA SSC ACX 2.0+ 970s, I couldn't do that because the BIOS was locked. The 110% power setting is the only option unless EVGA made the 960 version different from the 970.
