Before anyone asks, my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Exp/saved/3FQcCJ
And a Zotac GeForce GTX 750 Ti. I am using MSI Afterburner, Heaven Benchmark, and this is my first time overclocking. Yes, I have updated my graphics drivers.
I am currently overclocking the above graphics card, and even though I have read many guides, I still have many unanswered questions. I am following this guide (http://lifehacker.com/how-to-overclock-your-video-card-and-boost-your-gaming-30799346). First of all, how can I find "safe" voltages for my GPU? I've searched far and wide, and can't find any clear answer. The best I've come up with is only going +0.5-1 higher than stock, but still, I feel like this would be different depending on the GPU. And this leads me to my second question, is it safe to increase the voltage of my GPU if it draws power from the motherboard? I can't find enough info on the motherboard on whether it can handle it or not, so I was wondering if this was unsafe for it, or if I could give it a try.
I also have a few questions on artifacting and instability. Exactly how obvious are artifacts, and will the presence of artifacts damage my GPU over time? So far I have only encountered an unusual blue streak next to the flag on the castle, which I'm sure is an example of one, and the rainbow-colored circles that happen when the camera is facing the sun or is getting a reflection of the sun seem to be more prominent. I can post pictures if needed.
That's all I can think of for now, thank you very much for your patience, and please be as descriptive as possible in your responses.
