Hello everyone, I'm looking for assistance with overclocking my 950 GTX. This is my first time doing it, and I'm curious if it will improve my FPS.

To improve framerates, a significant boost is recommended.
Overclocking steps:
Add MSI afterburner and run unigine valley or heaven benchmark.
Adjust core clock via msi afterburner—start with a small increase (around 50mhz) and tweak the slider.
Execute the benchmark for a short duration, checking for any visual artifacts.
If artifacts appear, gradually raise power or voltage slightly until stable performance is achieved.
Continue adjusting until distortion disappears; if not, reduce the overclock incrementally.

To improve framerates, a significant boost is recommended.
Overclocking steps:
Add MSI afterburner and run unigine valley or heaven benchmark.
Adjust the core clock slightly using msi afterburner—start with 50mhz (slide it).
Execute the benchmark for a short time and check for any distortions—search online for "artifacts".
If you notice them, raise the power limit or voltage gradually until stable performance is achieved.
Once distortion disappears, increase the core clock again and verify.
Continue this cycle until you reach the maximum stable core clock without artifacts.
Keep in mind: don’t be afraid, pushing too hard won’t harm your hardware, but avoid crashes. Don’t enable overclocked settings until stability is confirmed.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

He got there first ^^^
It should improve the FPS. You can install MSI Afterburner, gradually raise the core clock and memory clock, and check for stability.
