Hey guys!
I have bought this card and wanted to know the highest stable overclock configuration for this card! I use Msi afterburner for overclocking..

My system specs-
i5 6600k @ 4.5 Ghz
8 GB Ram Kingston Hyperx
Asus Z170 Pro Gaming
Corsair H100iGTX Cooler
Kingston 120GB SSD
1 TB WD blue
NZXT SOURCE 530 Cabinet

Your GPU can definitely easily go to atleast 1420 MHz, but, just to make sure and be familiar with what you are doing, i'd suggest you find the best possible overclock yourself.
This can be done in the order: (you'll need a bench marking program like Unigine Heaven or Unigine Valley, those run great imo)
1. Apply a fair bit of overclock, i'd say like 100 Mhz on the core clock.
2.Run the stress test and look for any artifacting and or program/driver crashes.
3.If a crash or artifacting occurs, turn down your overclock by 5Mhz and try again until you achieve a stable overclock.
4 If no artifacting occurs, increase the core clock by 5Mhz and repeat the stressing until you see artifacting, repeat until max stable overclock is reached
5. Repeat all steps 1-4 for your memory clocks as well.
This may be time consuming but is the most efficient
Or you could try some of the already achieved overclocks EG:
1415Mhz Base Core Clock/2020 Base memory clock
1435 Base Core clock/1995 Memory clock

The reason i don't prefer trying out other's overclocks is because all hardware is made uniquely, your gpu may end up having the highest overclock capability or the lowest or somewhere in between, it's called "silicon lottery" seeing as you having a "chance of" getting a super overclockable card and winning the lottery, have a go at it and let me know

, cheers

I am currently overclocked to gpu clock 1410Mhz 2053 Mhz memory and 1511 Mhz boost clock.. Is it safe overclocking config?

Let a benchmark run for sometime, look for artifacts and what not, play some games and stuff, if the artifacting occurs, turn it down a little and try again, if not, you can try and go higher.
