How To Overclock a GPU
Helolo everyone!
Today I will be showing you how to overclock a GPU.
In this case, I will be using a MSI variant of the GTX 1050 Ti paired with MSI Afterburner for our overclocking needs!
If you don't know what Afterburner is then read this "MSI Afterburner is the world’s most recognized and widely used graphics card overclocking utility which gives you full control of your graphics cards. It also provides an incredibly detailed overview of your hardware and comes with some additional features such as customizing fan profiles, benchmarking and video recording. MSI Afterburner is available completely free of charge and can be used with graphics cards from all brands." ~MSI.com
Also just to let you know, WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE OF YOUR PC AND/OR PC PARTS!
Now... that is out of the way, let's begin our OVERCLOCKING!!!
To begin, install and open up MSI Afterburner.
You should be greeted with a window looking similar to this.

Every thing is at stock speeds right now, so let's bring them up!
On my GPU the Core Voltage is locked so I cannot use that.
If you have an unlocked Core Voltage GPU, than you can use Google for that.(I will not cover that in this post ;)
First, bring the power limit all the way up to 100%.
Then, add +10 to the Core Clock and +100 to the Memory Clock.
After doing that, hit the check mark to apply changes.
Now you need to do some stability testing with Unigine Valley.
(Download and install it)
Open that up, set it to "Extreme HD" and click "Run".
Than click the Benchmark button at the top, and let it do its work.
If your GPU is stable, it will complete the benchmark and give your results.
If it crashes, then go back to Afterburner and bring things down.
Repeat these steps until you reach your MAXIMUM overclock.
You should now have your GPU at its maximum potential.
