So graphics clock is 1784 MHZ out of a max 1961 MHZ. Memory Clock is 3802 MHZ out of max 4004MHZ. My question is when dealing with overclocking, i see people say “+200 cc, +600 mc”. If i were to graphics overclock +200, does that mean it would go from 1784MHZ to 1984MHZ? If so, that would be 20MHZ over the max 1961 MHZ. Would that cause my card to crash? Or is “overclocking” pushing performance past maximum ?
