to what extent does ocing increase gaming performance? are we talking about say 10 fps in games like hl2 here or more around the ballpark of 2-5 fps?

Yuriman said:A 25% overclock will usually yield a 25% improvement in framerate. At a 25% overclock, if you had 35fps before, you would now get 43.75fps.
Yuriman said:Sure, overclocking might let you bump the resolution up from 1280x960 to 1600x1200
Yuriman said:Yes, but what I am trying to say is, moving from my X700pro to my X800GTO² really wasn't that big of a difference. Moving from high detail to very high, and going from 1280x960 to 1600x1200, really isn't that much of a difference.
