I'm working with MSI Afterburner to attempt overclocking my GTX 1060. I found online advice suggesting that raising the voltage can help if the GPU becomes unstable due to increased clock speed. I tried boosting the voltage by 10%, setting an offset of around 160 Mhz to the core clock. Although the voltage was higher, it didn't eliminate the artifacts and the system remained unstable. I'm unsure whether +160 Mhz is the maximum or if a much larger increase is needed. I'm not sure how much more to adjust.

The target of +150 is generally attainable in most cases. Boost your memory speed as well for a noticeable improvement in FPS. Many users see gains of over 500 points on memory performance. Just push the power limit and monitor temperatures. If you're exceeding 80°C during heavy use, reduce the output slightly.

Just push the power limit and monitor temperatures. If you're exceeding 80°C during load, reduce the intensity slightly.

Did the system show instability at +160 before you adjusted the voltage? Were you at the maximum power limit setting?
