Upgrading MSI GTX 960 2G with overclocking settings
Hello!
I plan to purchase a new graphics card soon, specifically an MSI GTX 960 2G Gaming. I’m interested in overclocking it, as I’ve noticed it can significantly boost performance. This is my first attempt at overclocking a GPU, and I’ve observed that the typical method increases the GPU clock by 15Mhz each time until stability issues arise. Some users have managed to push this card to +190 on the GPU clock and +400 on the memory clock. Should I proceed with the slower approach, or can I safely set the card clock to +160 and memory to +350? Additionally, if I adjust the voltage, should I maintain it at 108% or allow a slight reduction? I’m concerned that altering the voltage might shorten the card’s lifespan...

I plan to purchase a new graphics card soon—a MSI GTX 960 2G Gaming. I intend to overclock it, as I've noticed it can significantly boost performance. This is my first attempt at overclocking a GPU, and I've observed that the typical method increases the clock by 15Mhz each time until stability is lost. I've seen others achieve +190 on the GPU clock and +400 on the memory clock. Should I follow the conventional approach, or can I safely set the card clock to +160 with memory at +350? And regarding voltage, should I maintain it at 108% or reduce it slightly? Changing the voltage might shorten the card's lifespan...
No, stick to the slow method. Just because others do...

Hello!
I plan to purchase a new graphics card soon, an MSI GTX 960 2G Gaming. I intend to overclock it, since I've noticed it can significantly improve performance. This is my first attempt at overclocking a GPU, and I've observed that the standard method of increasing the GPU clock by 15Mhz repeatedly leads to instability. I've seen others successfully overclock this card with +190 on the GPU clock and +400 on the memory clock. Should I proceed with the slower approach, or can I safely set the card clock to +160 and memory to +350? And if so, should I maintain the voltage at 108% or allow it to drop slightly? Changing the voltage can affect the card's lifespan...
No, go slow. Just because others have done it doesn't guarantee the same results. Every card is unique, and voltage settings are a personal choice.
