GPU not boosting?
I own a GTX 960 G1 Gaming with 4GB from Gigabyte and I'm attempting to overclock it. I increased the Gigabyte boost clock by an extra 105MHz, bringing it to 1409MHz. In this forum [http://m.hardocp.com/article/2015/04/06/...qW4TEVOLCT] I followed their instructions, but they achieved a clock speed of 1560MHz whereas I only see 1472MHz in-game. I used Gigabyte's OC software GURU II and also ran MSI Afterburner to display an overlay during games. Is this issue caused by running two programs at once or is there a problem with my card? I'm still a beginner in building computers.
Oooh! Two samples are operating much quicker than expected. That definitely suggests a faulty card if you can't reach that speed!
That's not the situation at all.

Your setup might require additional voltage to achieve higher performance, or it could simply be unable to do so.
Reviewers often get early engineering samples of all of the hardware. These engineering samples usually overclock better than retail-purchased components.
Also, no two devices will ever overclock the same. You don't have a bad card -- they had a great card.

Reviews frequently receive initial engineering prototypes of every hardware piece. These prototypes typically outperform standard retail parts. Also, each device will never overclock identically. There isn't a defective card—its performance was excellent. The challenge lies with JayzTwoCents, who achieved comparable results too. I've also verified that my system has sufficient capacity for additional enhancement. My card operates at 55C during gameplay and consumes only 70% power. The GPU Boost is expected to utilize this surplus capacity effectively.

That's not true at all.
