I likely won’t retain the card at this overclock, though I wanted to try and understand its capabilities. Perhaps I’ll consider increasing it later, but right now it’s not essential. Still, I ran Heaven Benchmark to evaluate these overclocks and would like to know if someone with more experience can confirm whether this overclock is safe for my card.

It looks acceptable to me. There don’t appear to be any issues with your overclock. If it successfully completes multiple Heaven bench tests with strong stability, no freezing, and frames staying consistently above 45, then it’s safe to proceed. As long as the card maintains a low temperature—ideally under 65°C—it will avoid thermal throttling and can be used with this overclock in the long run.

It looks okay to me. There don’t seem to be any issues with your overclock. If it performs well on multiple Heaven bench tests with stable performance, no freezes, and frames stay above 45, then you’re all set. As long as the card’s temperature stays below 65°C, you should be able to use this overclock for the long term. Thanks for the response! The temperatures rarely go past 65°C, so I think it’s safe to proceed with this OC. Hope that helps!

It seems fine to me. I don't see any problem with your overclock. If it passes multiple Heaven bench tests with good stability, no freeze, and frames never dipped below 45 then you're good to go.
As long as the card's temp is kept low (below 65C preferably) so the card doesn't thermal throttle, you can just go ahead and use this overclock long term.
Thanks for the reply! The temps hardly ever exceed 65C, so I guess I am good to use this OC in that case! Good to hear. Do you happen to know if this is a good OC or if this is about average for a 2070?
Looks like a decent OC on the core clock and very good OC (1000+) on the mem clock. Usually the 20 series don't OC well with mem clock. But that still depends on the unit you received.
To have a sense of where you are in comparison to other people's 2070 cards, I would do a
Unigine Heaven
test and compare the score here:
https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threa...-2.222125/
(be sure to look at what resolution others were tested at, and whether its more than 1 gpu)
Another very good test would be
Unigine Superposition
. Compare your score here:https://benchmark.unigine.com/leaderboards/superposition/1.0/1080p-extreme/single-gpu/page-1
(also note the test's resolution as it can greatly affect your score)

Thanks for the advice. I'll try that later when I get the chance.

Be gentle with those Samsung GDDR6 modules, they deteriorate quickly
