Hello,
 
I'm considering overclocking my GPU, and I have a few questions.
 
What does the "XC" stand for in 'EVGA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti XC Ultra GAMING?' Does that mean it's already overclocked?
 
Has anyone overclocked this GPU using Precision X1 or MSI Afterburner? Do you know the best settings (memory clock, GPU voltage, GPU clock, GPU temp target, power target, and/or fan speed)?
 
Thank you,
 
- Nick

    Yes, the card is overclocked out of the box. Nobody can tell you what the best settings are as all gpu's will overclock differently.

    I set my GPU clock to +140 and Memory clock to +1300.
     
    Using Superposition Benchmark, my score went up from 11688 to 12718 (which is 1000+). I'll keep it like that for awhile and test a few games.

    Why would you overclock this card if it's already overclocked from the box? How is your gaming performance upon overclocking this card? What does it compare to when it comes to PC gaming? Does it behave quite good as a 1080Ti?

    Please help me earn some bucks to save money in the future as a team player and gamer!

    That true but if we overclock a little it will increase more FPS in games. Too much overclock will not good thought!!!

    I feel like I overclocked it just a little bit. The performance is very steady on all games I tried (Overwatch, Diablo III, Counter-Strike, GTA V, Ori, and Gears of War).
     
    Also, I never had a 1080Ti so I am unable to compare it.

    By a few FPS.  No point in OCing while gaming.  All you're doing is wasting more power and increase the temps.  OCing is meant more for benchmarking.  Just let the GPU do its thing and game on.
