Hello, im Overclocking my Gtx 970 g1 gaming. Im able to get +140-Core, and +355-Memory with stock voltage and almost no artifacts (some white every dots now and then) on Valley benchmark and Heaven, more than this i get a driver crash or i get artifacts and blue/green stripes apearing on my screen.
Are my OC settings good or bellow average? Is graphic card is OCing fine?

My Build:
CPU:i7-3770
Moba: Asus p8h77M-pro
Rams:G.skill RipjawsX 1600mhz Cl7 16gb(4x4)
PSU:Corsair Cx600

Ps:Valley score arround 2500-2600 depending on how much OC
Thank you very much in advance

Instead of your offsets, i'd like to know your ingame mem clocks and core clocks, those are what matter.

Ok I played a bit and got a pretty stable clock (no artifacts that, i noticed, and no crash) , The frequencies were 1535 Mhz (+130)-core clock, and 3825 Mhz (+335) memory clock. More than this and it starts to get unstable, with artifacts.
Is this OC good, or am I bellow the average, what i mean is was my silicon lottery good or bad :)

Ps: i can up the clocks a bit more but this is a very stable clock.
Thank you very much for your help.

This is average and a good overclock, but if you want to go for more, you can adjust the core voltage and maybe get like 15-20 MHZ more. But that's up to you, if you know how, go for it, if not, i'd advise against it

Thank you very much i've already tried my way arround it and flashed new Bios with more voltage and everything i can get higher clock's but less stables i think ill follow your advice and leave it like this maybe try to squeaze +5 or +10 mhz with tiny voltage increase, but for now this is much more than what i need, thank you for your help, have a good day :) .
