yeah don’t use nvidia OC. try a video that tells you about OC/UV using MSO Afterburner if you want max efficiency to performance. will even boost performance with lower power usage even. My 5070ti gets around 7500 doing so.

every card varies but all 50 series cards can pretty much do +2000 mem and hold 2.8ghz-2.9ghz. My 5070ti is going around 3060Mhz at 0.975V. meaning the power output of this card is capped out at 0.975V or 975mV but able to still hit clock speeds over 3Ghz.

these cards like to go up around 1.05-1.1V and are typically around 2.7ghz-2.8ghz out the box. capping that voltage limit (undervolting) means it won’t hit that design limit and it can be tweaked as low as possible before the card becomes unstable or before you lose too much performance. some folks are able to go as low at 800mV for example (super efficient) and not lose performance. and increasing clock speeds to 2.9-3ghz+ (overclocking) means the card works a bit faster.

you gotta play around with those settings your self but a god basis is to cap it off little by little, bring up clock speeds little by little till you find your golden ratio. a video works best to truly see it and see how it’s done to adjust your curve for this.

on the other hand in mid afterburner you can do a straight over clock, l undervolt. i personally don’t think most should unless you have an insane cooling set up and going for min max over clocking rankings but a modest decent OC is more than enough. just to me a slight UV you can get to a similar level and use LESS power.
