I was browsing many discussions, but I’m still a bit unsure about what half of them are discussing. I recall someone advising me once when trying to overclock a GPU... there’s a standard guideline you should follow. For every 100 MHz increase in your GPU clock offset, you should raise the memory clock offset by 50. Is that correct or incorrect? Thanks for your help.

my GPU's memory capacity will rise significantly more than my core. this depends on your card model, the specific chip, cooling solutions, and other factors. the best approach is to test each component individually and continue until you encounter graphical issues, freezing, or crashes. once these start occurring, gradually adjust the core voltage slightly. using MSI Afterburner, increase it in small increments (mV) until the problems cease. eventually, you'll reach a stable setting where neither voltage nor memory performance improves further. then return to the previous working frequency.

Many sellers already boost their cards, so start with minor adjustments to the RAM. You probably won’t gain much more if it’s already overclocked. Begin by setting the GPU clock to its highest stable value, then gradually adjust the RAM speed until it becomes steady.
