I didn't have to google for that much to find an appealing compilation of results: http://techreport.com/review/27806/five-geforce-gtx-960-cards-overclocked/2

My best advice would be to just totally ignore those values and do it yourself. Up the core clock until you start seeing artifacts, as soon as you see those reduce the core clock and do a stability test (let it run for longer in order to see if any more artifacts appear. If not, procede to the memory clock (as a rule of thumb you can actually up this a bit...

Up the core clock until you start seeing artifacts, as soon as you see those reduce the core clock and do a stability test (let it run for longer in order to see if any more artifacts appear. If not, procede to the memory clock (as a rule of thumb you can actually up this a bit more). Do the same as with the core and try different combinations on the borderline limits of the two (since changing the values of one, might make the other unstable to put it simply).

You should by then have reached a reasonable value that you should be happy with. You can use EVGA's utility to do it, but I personally prefer MSI Afterburner. That said, to test stability I'd run Valley and/or Heaven Benchmark.... Once you reach the value you're content with just run a somewhat demanding game to test it in a real world scenario.

Sincerely hope this helps! ;)
