Hello,i have this gpu paired with an i7 6700 and 8gb ddr4 2133mhz,i never really bothered with overclocking my gpu's so i would like to try and i have a couple questions:

1.What increments are too small/useless on the core clock,10MHz,20MHz?
2.Should i be focusing on the memory or core clock if i want better fps on a higher resolution but with no anti aliasing and all details on low?
3.Is voltage even touched with GPU overclocks?

These are my card clocks out of the box :

My PSU is Fractal Edison M 650W Gold

That's about average - I would just chalk your high default speed up to the factory OC then. I have a 960 with 72.0% and it got to 1519 stable, so you should end up somewhere in that neighborhood. Good luck

The 960's can go pretty high. You can save some time by going right for 1392. If that works, go up in increments of 13, since each clock bin is 13MHz. An average 960 will end up very close to 1500. Don't touch the memory until you've maxed out the core.

I am a bit confused tho,during Unigine Valley testing with my overclocks for now during the benchmark it said that my core clock is at 1603 and GPUZ max reading during that test was 1501.3 MHz...


edit:i think unigine is a bit faulty all the other programs are showing 1501
