Hey guys! I was hoping to bring my graphics card up to 1495mhz clock speed, and +300 on the memory speed. I've researched online, and heard that people were peaking around 1500mhz, and even going up to +500 memory. In my msi afterburner settings, i adjusted the sliders so i would get these results (1495. &+300), even adding 20 more voltage. I opened unigine heaven, and it gave me the black screen. Also, i opened up Assassin's creed syndicate later, and ran the game; it ran for 45 mins, but after that, the screen just came black, and I had to hold down the power button on my case for it to turn off, and turn it back on again..
PLEASE HELP!!!!

That's partly true but more for CPU OCing, for GPU it's all luck of the draw. You just may have a chip that was binned as high as it could be. Work back from you OC, testing at every step until you get a stable one.
