I've got a 3060 Ti with the latest drivers, and I'm experiencing some strange artifacting when I overclock. I pushed the memory clock to 75% and undervolted, but after about 20 minutes of running FurMark, I see white and green pixel artifacts. The temperatures are peaking at 72°C, and I have a 750W gold PSU without any CPU overclocking. I've also tested three RAM sticks with MemTest and they passed without issues. The artifacts disappear immediately when I revert to stock settings. Is a voltage bump or memory timing adjustment needed to fix this?

It sounds like you're pushing your GPU a bit too hard! Overclocking can vary between individual cards because of microscopic differences, so find a more conservative setting. If it's not stable, you gotta scale back those settings to avoid issues.
Seriously! That's exactly why stock settings exist. Those artifacts are just your card saying, 'Hey, chill out!',' especially if you're not even getting significant performance gains with that overclock.
Overclocking a 3060 Ti to 75%? You're really risking damage for just a few more frames! Most users don't go beyond 10% overclock without seeing issues. Have fun with it, but for everyday use, it's best to stick to stock speeds to avoid problems.
Exactly! Overclocking can be fun, but it's not worth it if you're ruining your card's lifespan. Better to play it safe.
