I need some assistance boosting this card for peak performance. I'm using the SMOS dashboard for this. Based on Zotac's specifications, the Engine Clock Base is 1556 MHz and Boost is 1771 MHz. I think these refer to CPU clock speed or memory as well? I'm unsure if the Boost speed is handled automatically by the hardware or if the driver needs to be turned on manually. SMOS only provides offset settings, which is why I'm trying to determine the right starting values for my calculations. The screenshot I have displays my current overclock settings. Also, Zotac lists the card's power usage at 120 watts. Is it safe to let the power exceed that amount? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
