 I only have Nvidia cards so cant show how team red users do it :( sorry I dont really play games that much. I only have Nvidia cards so cant show how team red users do it :( sorry I dont really play games that much.

 In my test I overclocked the GPU by a value of 272 or increased it from 1911 to 2176 which is about a 13.8% improvement. For memory I used 1000 and it increased the memory clock from 3504 to 4504. It seems like you can just max that out and nothing bad happens. In my test I overclocked the GPU by a value of 272 or increased it from 1911 to 2176 which is about a 13.8% improvement.

-I have an old card so not really much I can do but here is the before and after in Apex legends:+When choosing values you should find a value where the system crashes then reduce it by like 20 or more. I found It crashed at like 295 so reduced it down to 272. The memory it seemed you can just set it really high at least for me (to the max).  
 +If games are unstable at that value keep reducing it by like 10 until games n longer crash while playing. If you temper your expectations to be around 10% then you will be fine.

 +I do imagine an improvement of around 10% is or can be expected on average but could be card dependent. I dont really game as I mentioned so this is just what I found.

 +Dont forget you can pass cool options to steam so if you install the gamemoderun package and wanted to limit the game to 60fps so you dont need to use gsync you could add this to the steam options:
 +
 +DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 gamemoderun %command%
 +
 +eg:
 +{{:images:apexoptions.png?400|}}
 +
 +Other options you can try are "-novid" and "DXVK_ASYNC=1". Novid apparently skips the into and if you use proton ge apparently the DXVK setting improves stutter. My personaly feeling is too many options could cause more harm than good so I didn't bother. To add them you would do something like:
 +
 +DXVK_FRAME_RATE=60 DXVK_ASYNC=1 gamemoderun %command% -novid
  
 +But you can google around and try some other options if you really want to.
