So, I'm building my first ever PC and Overclockers have this deal going on which is basically a MSI R9 280X for cheaper, but with lower core speed. Everything else in the cards seems to be the same so I thought it would be a good purchase and grab it.
What I'm wondering is: Once I get it, can I clock it from 950MHz to 1000MHz with no trouble? Even better, could I go to 1050 (Just like the original on Turbo boost) or a bit higher without making the GPU too hot?
Here is the card I got (Underclocked)
And here is the original one I want my speeds to at least match.
Sorry if it is a dumb question. Although I have basic knowledge on PCs, this is the first ever I'm building and I never did OC to anything so I wouldn't know.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if the question isn't clear enough.
EDIT: Is 950MHz bad in general? How will it impact the performance and my gaming experience?
