GTX 960 overclocking
GTX 960 overclocking
Your GDDR5 memory operates at double data rate using double data lines. This means it runs at approximately 7010MHz, though the real clock speed is around 1752.5MHz. Certain applications such as afterburner display this as 3505MHz. Therefore, when setting up in afterburner, begin with 3600MHz for optimal performance, which results in an effective speed of 7200.
Simple, install an overclocking program (the top one I've heard of is MSI Afterburner) and begin adjusting the core and memory clock settings. Good luck with your overclocking efforts!

Easy, download an overclocking software (the best I know is MSI Afterburner) and start tweaking the core and memory clock. Good Luck at overclocking!
Can you give me the exact numbers to overclock?I dont want to blow my GPU
Each GPU behaves differently. Many GTX 960 models exceed 1400. Afterburner overclocking is relatively safe, so begin with the offset that brings you to 1300, then increase gradually in tiny increments. If instability appears, reduce it slightly or two ticks. You might also tweak your fan curve to extract a bit more performance. Next, check the memory settings—start at 3600. I own a 960 that has remained stable at 1418/4140 for almost a year, but I was fortunate with my memory; most of my other Maxwell cards fall far short (like a 750ti and a 2 980ti).

I’d start at 3600 for the memory test. I own a 960 that has remained stable at 1418/4140 for almost a year, but I was very fortunate with my memory—none of my other Maxwell cards reach that speed (a 750ti and a 2 980ti). What do you mean by 3600 for memory? My current stock clock is 7010, which translates to 10610 for the memory.
