I use MSI Afterburner for overclocking my cards. I know nothing about CCC.

What I do know, is to download FurMark, or some other GPU stresstest. Raise the clock on your card, run FurMark for a few minutes to check for stability. Do this on your Core clock first, find your maximum, then back down a few MHz.

Next, reset the core clock and do the same thing with the memory. Once you find your max for both the memory and core clock, bump them back up to your maximum, then run FurMark once again.

Download msi afterburner

Max the volts and clock it

Dont do any of that furmark nonsense.

Why run benches that aren't worth boints?

 

[DannyHead86]

i just wanna get better Fps in games. crysis 2 and black ops etc.

 

[ChanceCoats123]

What kind of FPS do you have now, and what resolution are you running?

Might want to go to the video card section then.

In these parts we're about maxing out performance in benchmarks, not daily gaming.

gettin about 50 - 70 fps at 1920-1080 with extreme graphics..

gettin about 50 - 70 fps at 1920-1080 with extreme graphics..

So what's the problem?

 

[DannyHead86]

i dunno, nothing really. Just wanna push it to see wat i can get out of it.. Should i not bother??

 

[ChanceCoats123]

I mean... You honestly won't notice a change in gameplay if you raise the FPS. However, you can run some benchmarks and see those scores greatly increase with overclocking.

so my pc would have plenty of power just on defualt settings
??

 

[DannyHead86]

do u use CCC??

 

[ChanceCoats123]

Your PC has plenty in the tank at stock, but who wants stock? Benchmarks are one place where going way overboard actually gives results. (In games, clocking faster doesn't make you better. But in benchmarking, clocking faster is the game. )

I don't use CCC, I use Afterburner Extreme for both brand of gpu's.

Yupp. That'll do, Donkey. That'll do. (Shrek reference)

The furmark benchmarks do give you a score.

 

[DannyHead86]
