Hi. I have the Zotac GTX 1050 Ti OC Edition. I really want to get the most out of this card because I have a fairly strong cpu (i5 8400) and 16gb of ram and I want to play AC Origins (and other demanding games) on decent settings. Do you recommend overcklocking this card? Which software should I use for stress testing the gpu? I also want to know if I’ll be able to go back to the original clock speeds after I overclock it and save the settings. Thanks in advance!

0. Install MSI Afterburner (has profiles for saving OC)
0. Download and run UNIGINE Valley on Ultra + Windowed. Any other benchmarking works too.
1. Max your power limit. (Requires good PSU)
2. Increase your core clock 50+ at a time while looking at the benchmark till artifacts (weird lines and colors) appear or your driver crashes/freezes. Then fine tune it compared to your previous clock.
Example Core clock: ... > +150 > artifact > ... > +145 > artifact > +120 (Keep it 25 or more below max)
3. Do the same for Memory. (50 or more below max)
4. Save your profile.
5. Don't check apply overclocking at startup. You can check it after a few days of testing.
Keep temps below 80c. If start going above, install a fan near it or change the paste.
10% free boost. Why not? Compared to CPU, it's easier and safer.
Stress testing is needed for extreme OC. For 1050 Ti, looking at a game benchmark should be enough.
Yes, you can. I only overclock before gaming.

There's no problem. 600W is more than enough for 1050 Ti. It's enough for 1060/1070 If you ever decide to upgrade. Also, Nvidia 10 series have locked voltages meaning they won't go over a certain voltage.
It should happen instantly or in less than a minute. Keep increasing till you see the artifacts/freezes. Then keep decreasing it till you don't. After that, a 25Core/50Memory decrease should get the job done. If you experience problems like games stuttering/crashing after OC, decrease a little more.
example: +50 > ... > +200 > freeze > +170 > doesn't freeze/artifact anymore > 145 (decrease it by 25 or more)
Also, some cards ship with lesser/higher factory OC. If you overclock seems too high/low, don't worry. It's normal. I got 900+ memory on my Gigabyte 1050 Ti G1 because they didn't overclock it from the factory. Barely got a +100 on the core though because it was overclocked already.
