GTX 960 has an extremely high core clock speed, which is causing confusion.
This is my initial attempt at overclocking. I began adjusting the core clock in steps of +10 afterburner, stopping at +170, and then raised the memory speed to +120. I then tried tweaking the core clock once more.
Currently, I'm at +800 and everything seems to be functioning properly with no visual issues. My power usage hasn't changed much. Am I making a significant mistake, or is this typical under these conditions?
Despite pushing the core clock this high, my benchmark FPS doesn’t appear to improve. It can display my MHz for graphics and memory. My benchmark is Heaven DX11. Could my CPU, an i7 4790k, be causing a bottleneck?
Graphics: 2255 MHz
Memory: 3004 MHz
Temp: 48 degrees
You can configure your boost target at +800, but the driver or graphics card might not actually achieve that speed. It will automatically change the clock speed depending on temperature, heat, load, and other factors. A Core i7 4790k is already quite fast and won’t become a bottleneck even with cards like GeForce GTX 970 or 980.

A Core i7 4790k is extremely fast even without overclocking and won’t become a bottleneck for cards like GeForce GTX 970/980.
