I was just wondering if it is worth overclocking my ASUS DUAL OC GTX 1060 3gb? Will this increase my FPS? if so could you please recommend what settings to use and what program?

Build is:
CPU - Pentium g4560
GPU- ASUS DUAL OC GTX 1060 3gb
Motherboard - Asus H270 Prime
Ram - Kingston 8gb
PSU - Corsair VS550 550W
SSD - 120gb
HD - 1TB

You might gain 5-10% in performance. I like to use MSI Afterburner. Other cards like the GTX 970 could gain over 20% from overclocking. So I guess it's up to you whether or not it's actually worth it. Best advice I can give you is increase your clocks in small increments, like say 50MHz at a time until you find it unstable, then go back to where it was stable and increase 25MHz and so on until you find your highest stable overclock. Test for stability with Unigine Heaven Benchmark after each clock rate increase, be sure there is no artifacting.
