They are sensitive beasts, already working at near maximum and, unlike CPUs, are much more prone to die on you - and then you have a dead card. Usually, the amount of extra GPU and video RAM speed you can squeeze out of a video card is not worth the effort and risk in terms of frames per second. |

If you want an OC'd card, go and buy a factory OC'd one. xFx sell factory OC'd cards at a little cheaper than their stock cousins. I've got an xFx 9800GTX and haven't had any problems with it. But leave your current card alone. If you want more power go out and pay for it. |

One of the most sensible posts I have ever seen on this forun |

Their site has a How-To with screenshots as well . The importnat thing to remember is do it in small increments . Any signs of unstability then go back a bit . And monitor its temp too . |

Usually, the amount of extra GPU and video RAM speed you can squeeze out of a video card is not worth the effort and risk in terms of frames per second. I'd agree with the consensus here. If you don't know what you're doing, dont try it. Graphics cards (especially their RAM) can be permanently ruined if you go overboard. I think the GPU is a bit more resilient, but I dont even overclock the ram; some cards come from the factory with the ram already running above spec. To be honest, the gains you'll get after overlocking are probably quite small (they are for me anyway), and not usually worth it. |
