hi all

need some advise on checking my oc on the gts 250 not sure if there wright and that if im using the wright sofware.

first time overclocking just testing.

my spec

I

  • CPU - Intel core duo E7200 OC 3.2Ghz

    RAM - 4gb ram

    Motherboard - Gigabyte g31m-es2k rev 2

    Graphic Card - PNY GeForce GTS 250 XLR8 512MB Performance Edition

SOFTWARE

msi afterburner drive version 9.18.13.3221.332.21

Stress Test Software

MSI Kombustor - using

FurMark- haven't used yet

CPU -z cupid

techpowerup gpu -Z 7 0.7.8

Benchmark Software

heavens benchmark 4.0

3d mark vantage

Tomb Raider in game bench mark

gts 250 stock
Core clokc 738
Memory clock 1100
Bandwith 70.5 GB/s
Shader 1836

oc

Core clock 770
Memory clock 1400
Bandwidth 89.9 GB/s
Shader 1890

ok this is how im doing it but im a bit concerned im might being doing it wrong

i first raised my core to 800 and i sued Kombutor where it detected artifacts so i lowered it till there was no artifacts at 7770 mhz.

i than started on the memory step by step until i ve go to 1400 which seems high compared to other peoples in the forum and their no artifacts in kombutor at all, im i doing this wright.

should i keep upping the memory until i get artifact or a crash in kombustor or im using the wrong software t o test the memory.

don't wanna keep going if its wrong so i stopped and thought i would ask.








 
Many times you can overclock the VRAM too far and it won't crash or artifact, but instead it causes errors and lowers perfromance. Run a windowed 3d test (like kombustor or unigine) while you tune your VRAM and see when it crosses the threshold of where performance stops increasing and actually decreases, then back it off a bit to keep it in the sweet spot.

ok when the screen is samll the FPS is 124 and when i maximums the screen the FPS is 59-60-61-62 at moment i using tomb raider bench mark because at 1400 memory overclock the kombustor wasn't showing any artifacts but in tomb raider it did at high settings so far 1355 memory overclock isnt showing any signs of artifacts in tomb rider at all.
