I've successfully pushed my GTX 960 to

1600MHz core +56
4055MHz Memory +550
+55 mV voltage

I have an ASIC value of 90%

I was just wondering if this was a good overclock, i am stable in all synthetic benchmarks and games i play.

i7 6700k stock
16gb 3000MHz Corsair vengence ram
GTX 960 FTW edition 2gb

The memory clock OC is pretty big, but the core clock OC is meh. You could probably push the core clock more.

But if you can't, as I learned from experience and internet anecdotes, sometimes the higher you go on the memory clock, the lower your ceiling is for the core clock, and a higher core clock will give you better performance in most games compared to a higher memory clock.

Yea seems like every solution i tried, no matter if i OC the memory or not, i can't push the core any higher than +56 MHz 1600Mhz. I've only seen a few people so far get their GTX 960 over 1600MHz, and thus only having a range of +150 to +250 on the memory. Maybe if i use evga precision and disable kboost?

Well, looks like if i go over +56 on the core just by 1 point i get artifacting even if i push alot of voltage. But i can go all the way up to +800 on the memory with the core overclocked and voltage +60mV. Im not too worried about frying this card. its getting replaced lol.

What is the current voltage? I run a custom made bios with removed TDP limit. 1.25V at 1531MHz and 4104MHz on memory. I can push memory up to 4207MHz, but I'm probably getting stability issues in certain games (because more than that gives artifacts).
