Hello!
After upgrading your 6600k to 4.6ghz, with 16GB RAM and an 850W PSU, the next best overclock for your RX480 Nitro+ 8Gb would be to fine-tune the CPU and memory settings further. Focus on balancing stability and performance while keeping in mind your power supply capacity.

When you overclock a 480, you adjust the boost clock. You can also set it to the moon, but that doesn't guarantee it will ever reach that high. Make sure the temperature and power limits are at their maximum and check if it can maintain stability. I haven't pushed my crossfire configuration yet, but I'm aware it can handle 1340 through time spy, likely more.

Go as far as you can while staying stable. Each chip speeds up in its own way.

Go as far as you can without losing stability. Each chip runs differently. That's why I'm asking. Maybe someone has an rx480 nitro+ with 8gb.

I'm still confused. I gave you the answer. The optimal overclock is to push it to its maximum. You can't just enter a value and assume it will function.

^ confirmed, every card is distinct with its own frequency range at different voltages. By checking your card across various frequencies, you can determine its specific characteristics.

When you increase the overclock on a 480, you adjust the boost clock. You might also try the moon, but that doesn't guarantee reaching such high speeds. Set the temperature and power limits to their maximum and observe if it can maintain stability. I haven't pushed my crossfire configuration yet, but I'm aware it can handle 1340 through time spy, likely even higher.
