I've been experimenting with overclocking my GPU, most guides say to increase threshold by +10, I've gotten up to +50 and stopped, I didn't want to go any further, also at +50 I didn't notice any gameplay differences(arma 3) Do I need to go higher, is it safe to go higher, I tried looking to see how high I could go but couldn't find anything

Thanks
 
Well, the 970 and 980 can OC quite a bit but it all depends on your cooling. If you're not already I suggest using MSI Afterburner, going to settings and clicking unlock voltage, then maxing out that and the power limit bar. Start your OC off with +100 on core. Don't bother OCing the VRAM.
 
I'm also thinking of upgrading the 970 to 1080, would there be huge benefit of doing so? I do not intend to upgrade my monitor yet which 1080.
 
Mostly depends on what games you're planning on playing. I upgraded from a 970 to a 1070, and while it helped in some games, other games I don't notice any difference.
