Msi gtx 970 overclock

[handyandy24]

Hi

First time overclocking my card using msi afterburner

I seem to be getting quite high overclock prior to artefacts or crashing relative to others I have seen on old thread

+220 core clock (1561 boost)
+400 memory clock (
Power limit max
Core voltage default

If I start adding voltage +20 I can get up to +450 memory clock before it gets unstable.

My question is

Is it worth the extra mem clock vs. The added core voltage
What isbworrh prioritising if I do increase voltage - core clock or memory clock
Is my oc prior to voltage changes average or good ?

Took valley from 1484 (35.5fps) to 1645 (39.5 fps)

Although the benchmarking ran fine when playing COD4 it crashed so I have turned it down.
Thanks for the core vs ram comparison. I'll pro leave voltage where it is for now as it's not going to make a night and day difference for me
