Hello, friendly community!

I have the aforementioned GPU and I really want to get it to 1 GHz, maybe 1013 MHz (exactly 10%). It is currently running at stock speeds, those are: 925 core, 1050 (2100) memory and 1850 shader. The voltage is 1.025. I was told to leave the memory and shader alone and to only raise the core clock speed. Also, I do not want to overvolt.

So what do you think? Could I do it? I don't care if the card crashes in FurMark or something like that, I only want it to be stable in games. Or maybe I shoud care if it fails in FurMark? :D

Sorry for all the questions but this is going to be my first time overclocking and I want to be 100% sure. Thanks in advance.

Thank you, that was a very helpful article. Just one last thing- should I take steps to overclock my GPU (like gradual 25 MHz increases) or should I just set it to my desired frequency and save?
