Hello, I have a GPU connected to an i7 6700 with 8GB DDR4 at 2133MHz. I haven’t really done any overclocking, so I’m curious and have a few questions:

1. Which increments are too minor or ineffective for the core clock speeds of 10MHz, 20MHz?
2. Should I prioritize memory or core clock when aiming for higher FPS on a higher resolution setup with no anti-aliasing and sharp details?
3. Is the voltage adjusted during GPU overclocking?

scuzzycard says your card likely has a strong ASIC and factory overclock, which is great. You might want to begin at 1433. gpu-z reports a 69.8% ASIC quality, which is average. You could attribute your high default speed to the factory overclock then. I own a 960 with 72.0% and it reached 1519 stable, so you should fall within that range. Good luck!

The 960s can reach impressive levels. You can conserve time by moving directly to 1392. If that suits, proceed in steps of 13, as each clock bin operates at 13MHz. A typical 960 will approach around 1500. Avoid touching the memory until you've fully utilized the core.

The 960s can reach quite high speeds. You can save time by targeting 1392 first. If that's feasible, increase in steps of 13, as each clock bin operates at 13MHz. A typical 960 should approach around 1500. Avoid touching the memory until you've fully utilized the core.

Your card likely features a high ASIC and factory overclock—great! You should begin at 1433.

Your card seems to have strong ASIC performance with factory overclocking—perfect! Start around 1433. GPU-z reports about 69.8% ASIC quality, which is average. You might attribute your high default speed to the factory overclock then. I own a 960 with 72% and it reached stable at 1519, so you're likely in a similar range. Good luck!

gpu-z reports 69.8% ASIC quality, which is average. You probably just got your high default speed from the factory setting. My 960 reached 1519 stable, so you're likely in a similar range. Good luck!
I achieved 1506.9—what was your memory clock?

4140 (8280MT/sec). My card was a factory freak on the memory.
