Hey, here are my thoughts on your GPU overclock.
I own a GTX 1060 3Gb, specifically the Asus Dual GTX 1060 3Gb OC edition, which I believe is factory overclocked.
My stock clock stands at 1974 (core) and 4004 (memory).
After overclocking, my core clock is 2138 and memory is 4804.
I haven’t adjusted the core voltage slider yet.
I’ve checked stability so far—it’s holding up well. If I increase the core voltage to +180, the game crashes, and with +825 artifacts appearing briefly before disappearing, it suggests a limit.
On Unigine’s Superposition benchmark (1080p Medium), my scores were 8205 (stock) and 9138 (overclock).
I’m writing this to get your opinions on whether this overclock is solid or not, and if you think I should tweak the core voltage.

It's reasonable to assume it won't exceed that level.
