I have an EVGA GTX 960 with 4GB RAM and I'm using Msi afterburner for overclocking. Could someone help me find the optimal settings to achieve the highest FPS? It doesn't have to be an EVGA card, but it should support 4GB.

All cards vary, so you didn't specify the exact model—there are many EVGA 960 models available.
One important tip: avoid clicking 'Make Active' at startup until you've stabilized the overclock. Setting it too high can cause serious issues, potentially preventing boot or displaying nothing on the monitor.

There isn't a single set of configurations that guarantees the highest performance. Each card behaves slightly differently when it comes to overclocking. Refer to a GPU overclocking guide and try it yourself.

Use evga's OC scanner for stability checks. Avoid touching the voltage during overclocking. Start with 25 MHz on the core, testing in intervals. If stable, increase to another 25 MHz. When you hit the maximum stable clock, gradually raise RAM speed in small increments of 10-15 MHz. Some cards with high core clocks require lowering the core to boost memory speeds. Adjust until you reach optimal performance, while monitoring temperatures with custom fan profiles.
