Hi guys, i was browsing my graphic card driver panel and i found this:

I'm pretty sure this is where i overclock my graphic card performances. The question is: Should i do it? What benefits do i have? Will the FPS difference in games be any different? And how much should i clock it?

Thanks :D

It may be outdated, but from where i come from, i could barely afford this already used one :)
Anyways, thanks for this fast answer. It helped, a lot! Have a nice day :)

It's a good card, just make sure the heat sink stays free of dust or you'll burn it up. Overclocked cards cause the fan to work harder to keep the heat in check and therefore make dust bunnies faster. Blow it out every month or so if you game alot.

Yeah, nice of you to remind me. I bought it 2 months ago, it would be nice to blow it up using air compressor, and i know i should stop fan from spinning while doing it...
