I'm wondering if my overclock becomes unstable when I enable it and then the monitor suddenly shuts off briefly before returning to normal. Once that happens, everything seems to work perfectly again. If I reduce the overclock, I notice some issues with game fragments appearing. Additionally, could you share what an ideal overclock setting would be for an EVGA GXT 1080?

something sounds unstable but not sure if it is your overclock since the fragments are at lower speeds. Are those fragments at stock? If yes you may have got a bad card. As for a good OC for a GTX 1080...2ghz (max boost speed) or so. I have heard some folks hitting 2.1ghz max boost. Which translates into about 1793mhz base/1933mhz boost/2076mhz max boost (my Oc on 2 GTX 1080s)

There seems to be some instability detected, though it's unclear if it's related to your overclocking. The fragments appear to be at lower speeds, which might indicate a stock card. For a GTX 1080 with a maximum boost of around 2ghz, you could potentially achieve up to 2.1ghz max boost, resulting in a base frequency of about 1793mhz, boost of 1933mhz, and a peak of 2076mhz. Knowing this can help compare with others. Fortunately, these fragments only appear during overclocking, so it's not a bad card overall. I plan to try a similar clock speed and observe the results.

On the stock air cooler, with adequate airflow and a tailored fan shape, I anticipate boost 3.0 would provide 2000 at the lower end up to 2050 (average) during load.
With a reasonable voltage/frequency profile, reaching 2100 tends to be straightforward.
