I've ran 4 different benchmarks tonight using 3DMark11, identical hardware just different clocks to see what the actual overclocks did for my gaming PC.
Here are my findings:
it's disappointing that there's minimal difference in FPS going from 4.0Ghz - 4.4Ghz which makes me think i may as well stick with the 4.0Ghz clock
Why do Gamers want faster CPU's for current Games?
The biggest benefit was the GPU overclock +50Mhz core and +100Mhz Memory which resulted in a 5% increase for the Gfx Score when compared to an extra 1000mhz cpu clock resulted in a 21% increase in physics for near enough 30% CPU clock.
what am i not taking into consideration here - i must be missing something!?
