How to overclock Pascal?
Hi all.
Just a quick question. I'm searching for some solid tutorials on overclocking my EVGA GTX 1060 SC with 6GB RAM.
I've seen videos by Jayz2Cents and others...
I'm not entirely sure when to start overclocking, but let's simplify: my current core is 1000 and boost is 1200.
If I increase it to 1300, would the boost also go up to 1500? How does that scaling work during overclocking?
I haven't found any clear guidance about this...
Your core remains consistent, but boost occurs when the power and cooling budgets permit. This usually happens most often.
With a high-quality chip, efficiency improves, giving more room for both power and heat to increase. In the most demanding situations, your card might only reach 1000 (or even less if temperature or power use surpasses bios limits).
Regarding your final question, raising your boost target still makes sense. If you extract an additional 100mhz from your chip and your base clock is 1ghz, performance will improve by about 10%, provided memory and the rest of the system can support it.
It's not really overclocking, it's just making more boost available (if your chip can handle it), using higher voltage, and maybe improving cooling by tweaking the fan settings.
