Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 G1 Gaming 6GB Overclocking

With the power limit at 110 percent and the temperature limit at 92°C, we were able to overclock the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming by an additional 120MHz beyond its OC Mode, giving us base and boost clocks of 1,741MHz and 1,956MHz respectively. This is more than a 7 percent increase, or almost 16 percent compared to reference speeds, which is solid. We didn't need any additional voltage, and no amount of extra voltage allowed us to reach a higher clock.

The memory was also stable up to 9.3Gbps effective, another decent overclock of just over 16 percent.
