New To OC Advice Needed

[marcus2704]

I am new to overclocking GPU and just wanted some advice.

I have a Zotac 1080GTX Amp Extreme, I have installed Afterburner and pushed the Power Limit to max, and incremented the core clock until the display adapter reset itself at which point I decreased the core clock.

I got to +65 on the core clock. This gave me a graphics score of 7703 on 3DMark Timespy.





Just really want to know if that is considered to be a good overclock, should I be altering any other settings to improve on this?

I have also set my I7 4790K multiplier to 4.2GHZ, I have a Antec H20 Liquid cooler, could I be expected to push that further whilst remaining stable?

isnt that card already overclocked from standard anyway? i guess if you take into consideration that its already clocked from reference and youre adding a little more then yes its good

 

[archerz]

also have you tried to increase the memory as well?

Thanks, I guess no need to overclock this card then.

I increased memory by +100, became unstable so I defaulted it back again.
