Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 Founders Edition Overclocking

Using MSI Afterburner, we put the power and temperature limits to their maximum available values: 116 percent and 92°C respectively.

The program did not allow us to unlock any voltage control, but nonetheless we were able to add 230MHz to the base clock, taking us to 1,736MHz with a boost clock of 1,938MHz. This is the equivalent of a 15 percent increase when referring to the base clock.

The memory, meanwhile, played even better, staying stable and free from artefacts all the way to 2.375GHz, giving us an effective speed of 9.5Gbps and a new total bandwidth of 228GB/sec. This is a 19 percent boost over reference speeds.
