You can only experiment, as each card is slightly different in terms of OC capabilities, and so are the games/benchmarks you are using.

As the first step, simply lower your GPU OC by 10 or 20 MHz and test Witcher 3 again. If that does not solve the issue, lower by additional 10 MHz and so on until it gets stable.

I'd leave the power limit at +20 for now.
