Video Card Overclocking

[DarkMark]

Can anyone tell me how to overclock a video card? If there is some article on this site about overclocking a video card could you shoot me the link?

Thanks

To start, you are going to need to get an overclocking utility. Some of those utilities include Rage3D Tweak (http://www.rage3d.com/index.php?node=r3dtweak), Radclocker (http://www.voodoofiles.com/9742), and Powerstrip (http://www.entechtaiwan.net/ps.htm). Once you install one of these, you will be able to overclock your card. To do that, open the program and increase the core clock and the memory clock. Up it about 5-6 notches the first time you do it. Now, download both 3DMark01 and 3DMark03. These programs are used to benchmark your video card, and see if you still have room to overclock it. When you run the programs, watch for little white dots (artifacts) on the screen. If there arent any dots, then up your clocks a few more notches. Keep doing this until you get artifacts, and then lower you clocks a few more notches. That should then be about the max clocks for your video card.
