Is overclocking my 760 worth it?

I hit 60 FPS in most games I play but the newer games like BF4 I get like 45 to 110 FPS, usually about 55 range.

ZOTAC AMP! ZT-70402-10P GeForce GTX 760 2GB

Memory clock: 6208 MHz
Core clock: 1111 MHz
Boost clock: 1176 MHz
Cuda cores: 1152

I guess my question is would overclocking this with stock cooling help my FPS any more than 10 FPS? Or would the boost not be noticable?

well if you overclock 10% and already having 50fps max you get is 5fps increase. So really up to you, I personally have never had the need to OC my GPU's since the same games are just as well playable at std clocks.

I OC my GPUs to get a better MINIMUM framerate. Going from 50 fps to 60 fps average is imo pretty pointless in most cases (going from 120 fps to 130 fps is literally COMPLETELY pointless), but if it drops to 20 during intense scenes, and the OC brings that up to even just 25 it's obviously very worthwhile.

In all honesty, an overclock will only give you at the most, 2-3+ fps. Your clocks are already pretty high for a 760 and theoretically, it should last indefinitely at those speeds. Overclocking reduces the lifespan of a GPU from forever to about 5-10 years. Your boost will probably not be noticeable, unless you do compute-related stuff. Even though there aren't too many pros to overclocking a GPU, doesn't it sound cool to tell people that you're an overclocker? Overclocking is still kind of viewed as a black magic to the newbie, but it's just as easy as dragging a slider nowadays.

gpu oc 5fps gain
cpu oc 5fps gain
ram oc 0fps gain
overclocking is useless in my opinion, reducing lifespan and only gaining about 10fps when gpu and cpu oc'd very high unless you're playing older games, oc can increase the fps 20-30fps but games like crysis 3 cpu+gpu oc = 10fps at the most
