Hey, just did an overclock on my GPU.
Specs: MSI GTX 1060 6gb Gaming X, Intel Xeon E3 1230 V3.30GHz CPU, 600w PSU.
Used Valley benchmark, Kombuster, and Afterburner. I managed to reach a +175MHz core clock, but later adjusted it down to +140MHz. Not sure if that’s optimal.
My memory clock was limited to +75/+70MHz, so I reduced it to +60MHz as well.
I’m wondering if this performance is realistic for my GPU. I keep seeing +200/+300MHz memory boost numbers—do I need to tweak the Afterburner settings?
Thanks in advance, everyone!

If you wish to compare your overclock, I suggest using 3D Mark Time Spy. Run the benchmark afterward, and you'll be able to evaluate your overclock alongside a similar graphics card and PC. You can repeat the process with Fire Strike as well; they're both free options.
