I used an EVGA gtx 960 4gb SSC GPU paired with an i7 4790k. After starting overclocking with MSI afterburner and running a VALLEY BENCHMARK by unigine, default settings achieved the desired fps range of about 30 to 80. I experimented with several overclock adjustments, but they consistently reduced performance instead. Now even with the default preset, my fps fell below 20. Could there be another approach I should consider?
Thanks for your response.

Hello... Generally, you need to adjust in several steps, alternating odd and even numbers, such as 2, 3, or 5 from a suitable setting. Trying different approaches will help you find what works best for your card. Processing at 10 MHz per increment can lead to data timing problems inside the GPU. Checking what others are doing with your card model will give you the appropriate numbers and limits. The temperature of your GPU, case, or CPU will determine your maximum OC.
