I just overclocked my MSI gtx 1060 6gb to +150CC/+500MC and i get some artifacts on some screens in Heaven and Valley, sometimes a black screen occurs for 5 seconds, and then it continues. But while playing games(Witcher 3, Shadow of War, Dishonored 2, Dark souls 3, BF4) i don't get any artifacts, nor any crashing. I haven't tried any other benchmarks yet. So is my OC stable, or i need to lower it?

So my OC isn't stable. Then why i don't get any artifacts in games, but only on Heaven and Valley?
 


Heaven and valley are stress tested aimed at maxing the gpu and really testing it. If you are artifacting in that you need to revise your oc since once a game asks a bit to much from your card it can easily start atrifacting or crash. You can also be slowly damaging it by running it in an unstable manner.

The moment i touch my memory clocks, artifacts will appear on Heaven/Valley. On stock, it runs fine. So does it mean that i cannot overclock my card? Or should i add voltage(which I'm scared to change)
 


Well just try increase the voltages but the moment you artifact go back to a non atrifaction oc.
