Standards for UV/OC GTX 1070

I know that all GPU's are different, and some can do better than others. And while I have an understanding of Throttle Stop, I have seen UV/OC done different ways. Is there a universally accepted way to accomplish the best figures for both? I just want to gain a moderate boost in performance, with a drop in temperatures.

Thanks

 

Do something like this in afterburner (this represents a 0.95V cap with an overclock, and then use a +core offset as high as it will go while remaining stable).

 

How do you get there? I've always wondered...

 

That's the skin I use, it's the little red 3 bar icon near the negative end of the core offset clock slider

The GUI is really, really clunky and likes to change itself from where you set it, so always check your curve is still perfectly flat after you click apply. Do the voltage monitoring unlock, so you can see the card is indeed locked to your max voltage (or use GPUz or Hwinfo etc)

Hover over that same icon to see the tooltip for keyboard shortcuts, it's the only place you'll find that info

 

You can also press Ctrl+F.
