overclocking a gt 1030 oc edition
Hi guys, i'm using an MSI GT 1030 LP OC GPU and i understand it's not recommended to overclock the GT series. though it's an OC version, i thought a slight boost might be nice. since i haven't done this before, is it safe? i just want to avoid going too far and risk damaging it. any advice on safe overclocking tips would be great! thanks in advance.
There is little point overclocking a Geforce 1030 unless you simply want to learn how to overclock a graphics card.
No amount of overclocking is going to compensate for the lack of cuda cores and only 2 gigabytes of memory compared to the other graphics cards.
For comparison
Geforce 1030
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores - 384
Memory - 2 gigabytes
Geforce 1050
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores - 640
Memory - 2 gigabytes
Geforce 1050ti
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores - 768
Memory - 4 gigabytes
Up to the insane
Geforce 1080ti
NVIDIA CUDA® Cores - 3584
Memory - 11 gigabytes
The core count has a near linear relation to fps, meaning double the core count double the fps, assuming no other limiting factors...

Confirms that the Geforce 1050ti is about 106% faster/higher fps than a Geforce 1030 due to it having twice the amount of cuda cores.
The PCIe slot offers ample power for overclocking. The GT730 1GB DDR5 performed well with a simple 20% increase. A GTX750Ti might be a close match. For these low-power cards, keeping the resolution under 1080P is key. An old 720P TV can still support them.
