Hello. This is my first attempt to overclock, I have messed around before but now that the DayZ SA has came out I need to OC my graphics card... First off I want to tell you my build so you all can get an estimate of what I am working with.

Case: HAF CoolerMaster 932 (Red)
RAM: Corsair Dominator 4x4 (16GB) (I do not have the RAM fan plugged in because it is way too noisy)
HDD1: Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM
HDD2: Westell 250GB 10000 RPM
CPU: AMD FX-8350 Black Edition (Eight-Core 4.0 Ghz)
Graphics Card: Nvidia EVGA GTX 660Ti 2GB GDDR5

I am having some FPS problems with DayZ and I want to get the most out of my system. I have read about some good stable clocks on the 660Ti but it is all dependent on what your card can/can't handle. I have MSI Afterburner, MSI Kombustor, and all of the EVGA tools. I was just looking for some advice, what to/not to do, just a guide for a newb to overclocking.


Note: I am just looking to overclock my GPU not my CPU since I know my CPU wouldn't be causing DayZ to have Frame Drops.

DayZ is still in alpha so it will have problems. When you OC GPU add the core clock by 10 and do a stress test and see your temperature keep it low and if you don't see any graphical glitches then carry on. Don't go crazy on adding it up. If you got lazy repeating it do the first one +50 like i did and then the next one +10. Then go to the memory clock. Now this one can be OC a lot so do it by +50 then +20. Oh and remember to turn doen the core clock first to the stock clock. After you got it just combine them and see an improvement.

These are my OC stats: http://prntscr.com/2ewtyp
I ran the stress test for about 10 minutes and I only get about 65 Celsius on my temp. Is this good?
