To anyone owning the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SSC GAMING (Part Number: 06G-P4-6267-KR; the one with GDDR5 w/o the 'X').
 
What is the highest core and memory clock you can achieve w/o having to add any voltages to the GPU?
 
I want to use my GPU for a span of around 5 years or more (I don't want to use stock settings because well I want more fps in gaming).

      Its really dependent on your systems cooling but all cards are different. Your 1060 should get you through gaming the next 2 years in its current state but i would start saving your pennies. More and more games are going to be implementing ray tracing (RTX Cards) down the road. People say RTX will be a slow effect on the industry but people also said we would have 36 core processors by now, were all wrong at some point. But the brass tax is tech in the computer world is on the up and get ready alot of games will be changing how we play games and builds systems sooner then you think.
     
    But to really answer your question your results will be modest to say the least if you boost it at all. The issues lay with the memory bandwidth(192-bit) not so much the speed of the card, they do clock quite well same with the memory but you lack cuda cores and lack 256-bit mem bandwidth.

    Hope this gives you a tid bit of insight into what to expect.

    ^With that said, I've did some experimentation in overclocking using Precision XOC.
     
    Here are my settings w/o any added voltages:

    Testing this safe overclock and the default settings on Unigine's Heaven (1440p, High Quality, Extreme Tessellation, 4x Anti-aliasing & Full-screen), Superposition (1080p High) and Valley Benchmark (Same settings as Heaven's w/o Tessellation option) as well as 3DMARK'S Timespy (Demo) and Firestrike (Demo) I only get an average of ~3% boost in performance.
     
    How I came with that value is that I've added all the scores at stock speed divide it by the safe overclock's then multiplied it by 100 and used that result to subtract by 100 so it should be like this:
    100 - (Total Score for stock speeds / Total Score for Safe overclock speeds * 100) = % of boost gain

    Great Test , those are the results i was kinda expecting. +1 for sure :) answered your own question too for the most part :)
