Does this explain how GPU memory OC works?
I'm trying to understand how GPU memory overclocking functions.
I have a GTX 1060 with 6GB of memory, which runs at 8008Mhz and has a core clock of 1506 MHz with Turbo Boost up to 1709Mhz. In theory, if I increase the memory speed to 750Mhz using MSI Afterburner, the display would show it as 4754Mhz. My question is whether this new value equals 8758Mhz or if it gets doubled to 9508Mhz, which would mean the memory clock is halved from 4379Mhz. I'm not sure what the actual final number is and I want to know the correct figure. Please let me know if you have any insights or if you're familiar with this topic. Thank you!
The question asks about how the GPU memory overclocking functions. It explains the situation with a GTX 1060 model, mentioning specific clock speeds and the effect of applying a 750Mhz setting. The person is seeking clarification on whether the memory clock increases or changes in any way when using that setting.
Hi.
Your stock memory speed is reported as 8008MHz in MSI Afterburner, but it appears as 4004. If you increase it by +750MHz, the calculation would be:
4004 + 750 = 4754, then multiplied by 2 equals 9508MHz.
I hope this clarifies what’s happening.

Hi there.
Your stock memory speed is listed as 8008MHz but appears as 4004 in MSI Afterburner. If you add +750MHz, it would look like this:
4004 + 750 = 4754.
That implies your speed becomes: 4754 x 2 = 9508MHz memory speed.
Hope this clears things up.
Now I understand why applying 750Mhz to 4004 gives 4754 and doubles it, which makes the card run at 9.5Gbps.
That’s really helpful—I’m glad you’re getting it right, thank you!
Apologies for the delayed response, but yes I am absolutely certain
