I’m planning to overclock the GPU as much as possible for stable performance. Just to check its capabilities.
What’s the point? If it crashes, I’ve pushed too far—but if it doesn’t, what if it does? Is it really just about temperature readings?
As long as it runs without issues and temperatures are within limits, I’m fine.
Thanks.
Don't use any stress testing tool during GPU overclocking, just start a game and observe performance and FPS. If no issues appear, performance improves and temperatures stay within limits—proceed safely. Stop when the system becomes unstable or the GPU resets its clocks automatically. Return to the last stable frequency if needed. This applies to both core and memory clocks.
