Determine the appropriate overclocking level for your 1050ti to eliminate bottlenecks.
I'm facing a bottleneck with my 1050ti GPU and i7-4790 CPU. Should I be able to overclock the GPU to fix this? If yes, what amount should I increase it by?

An i7-4790 can handle a lot, so there’s no strict cap on how much you can push it to avoid that issue.
Which games are you using? Any that don’t rely heavily on hyperthreading? A CPU that stays under 50% usage across all cores would be ideal (about 4 cores/threads out of the 8 available).
Actually, the 1050 Ti seems to be limiting the performance (based on the bottleneck tool).
I’m planning to try Hitman now.
A 1050 Ti might limit a 4790, but it won’t completely stop it.
The truth is, you can’t fully remove the bottleneck.
You could slightly ease it by boosting your 1050 Ti, but even then, it will still be constrained.
An i7-4790 won't hold back even a 1080TI - so there's no limit of overclocking you could do to eliminate that.
What games are you playing? Any title that cant utilize hyperthreading, that CPU is never going to go beyond 50% utilization (4cores/threads of the available 8).

No no, the 1050 ti is holding back the CPU (according to the bottleneck calculator).
I am starting to play Hitman.
what does psu mean?
you can definitely overclock, but it depends.
the extent varies, so start small and adjust gradually.
What is the PSU?
Can I overclock? Sure.
How much should I increase it? Every GPU is different; try a little at a time.
My PSU is 300 watts. I’d like to upgrade but can’t remove the 24-pin connector from the motherboard—it’s too hard.
Overclocking? Yes, I know I can do that, but how much should I adjust it to?
How much adjustment? Are you talking about the GPU length? If so, 5.7 inches might be the limit.

Can I overclock? Yes, I understand it’s possible. How much should I increase it? Every GPU behaves differently—start small and adjust gradually.

Overclocking? I know it’s doable, but what should I aim for?

Overclocking amount? Every GPU is unique—test incrementally.

Yes, a 1050TI will "hold back" a 4790, I'm not saying it won't.
The simple fact is you can't "get rid" of the bottleneck. You could alleviate it a very small amount by overclocking your 1050TI, but by the same parameters, it's still going to 'bottleneck', even if you had the highest OC'd 1050TI in the world.
