Asus GeForce GTX 1060 Strix OC Overclocking

With GPU Tweak II, we set the power and thermal limits to their maximums; 116 percent and 92°C respectively. The voltage setting was also increased to 100 percent to allow for maximum headroom.

In this state, the GPU was stable with an extra 60MHz applied, giving us new base and boost clocks of 1,705MHz and 1,933MHz respectively; a 4 percent increase.

The memory, meanwhile, was happy up until 2.3GHz for an effective speed of 9.2Gbps, or 12 percent higher than what Asus's card offers out of the box.
