hey guys,
after several tries I increased the core speed to 140 mhz, which now shows 1747 mhz (1607mhz default) and added 100 mhz to the memory clock, resulting in 2052 (default 2002mhz). The boost clock is set to 1975 mhz (default 1835mhz). Power target and temp target are at maximum.

I ran a Furmark stress test for 6 minutes with no crashes and the temperature reached 68°C max. I was using EVGA for overclocking and the EVGA OC scanner for testing. These were the peak values during the test.

How well did I do? Was it worth it, and can I push it even further?

i think i'm just an OC beginner lol.
gta 5 on those settings works smoothly, but when playing loot boss, some thin lines (black and white) appear and vanish on the screen.
this suggests your OC isn't stable enough. the best way to test is to run either uningine heaven or valley for 1-2 hours straight, to see if it freezes up.

What is the highest boost speed you're achieving while gaming?
On my 1060, I've set an offset of 120+mhz and 500+mhz for the memory, which results in a maximum boost of 2100mhz and 4500mhz on the memory.

it reaches up to 2165 mhz maximum and then drops to around 2130. I've observed some intermittent green or red hues that flash briefly before vanishing. It seems pushing it a bit higher may require adjusting the clock values.

What's your highest achievable boost speed in gaming?
For my 1060 I adjusted an offset of 120+mhz and 500+mhz on the memory, reaching a max boost of 2100mhz and 4500mhz.
I've customized similar settings and the boost reaches 2120, but after some time at maximum settings it drops to 2088mhz and stops changing.
Is this normal or should I be doing something wrong?

What's the highest boost speed you're seeing in games?
For my 1060 I adjusted the offset to 120+mhz and 500+mhz on the memory, which gave me a max boost of 2100mhz and 4500mhz.
I followed your settings and the boost reached 2120, but after some time at full settings it dropped to around 2088mhz and stopped changing.
It seems like you might be experiencing an issue.
Are you doing everything correctly?
You may need to increase the voltage if you want to overclock further. I can reach 2200mhz with maximum voltage, but that's probably too high for daily use.

I believe you're a newcomer to OCs, right? GTA 5 works smoothly at those settings, but in League of Legends some thin black-and-white lines show up and vanish on the screen.
