GPU tweak settings for a 1080

I was looking at my ASUS gpu tweak 2 settings and was wondering what was the best setting. Like Frame rate target, GPU temp target, Power target percentage,

PC specs:
Operating System Windows 10 Home 64-bit
CPU Intel Core i7 6700K @
4.00GHz Skylake RAM 16.0GB Dual-Channel )
Motherboard MAXIMUS VIII HERO
ALPHA (LGA1151)
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce asus GTX 1080 strix
PSU
Thermaltake 600W
Storage 1863GB Western Digital (SATA) 1863GB Seagate
(SATA)
(SATA) 16.0GB Dual-Channel ) )

It's best if you lookup articles as it's a bit complicated.

For my EVGA I used EVGA Precision to optimize the frequency/voltage which seemed to work but then Witcher 3 kept freezing (same video image with audio still playing).

I've gone back to the defaults.

The problem with overclocking is how things THROTTLE. The Asus has a good cooler but even still if you overclock by "5%" a lot of the time it ends up maybe 2% real overclock.

(and game throttle differently. Witcher 3 was freezing for me despite the temperature being fine. It was the voltage/frequency profile.. somehow that was unstable and sure I could have tweaked it but the gains just weren't worth it for me)

Unless you get a great overclocking chip I would perhaps stick with default settings. These GPU's seem to be hitting within a few percent of their max performance in the already OC'd cards.
