I will not upgrade to the GTX 1060, so I'm choosing to overclock my GTX 1050. To achieve a gain of +6 to +12 frames per second, what adjustments should I make?

It’s a free performance, but you usually get a bit more FPS, though the boost on Nvidia cards might not make much of a difference.
Hit the power target at full, keep the GPU below its safe temperature, and start with the core first—keep memory off until you find the best core overclock, then move to memory.
I run Heaven Beanchmark in fullscreen with all graphics on, even during slideshows, which still puts a strain on the card. I let it complete a full benchmark, then increase the core and repeat. If it crashes, lower the core and test Heaven Beanchmark for 30 minutes or longer to confirm stability. The same applies to memory.
