Hi i was just wondering if there is any point to overclocking if a game isn't using 100% of your gpu. For example if i benchmarked a game and it said gpu usage 50% would i get a better frame rate? Or does it only make a difference if your graphics card is at it's limits?
 
Solution
No. It only makes a difference if the GPU is hitting full load.

If you're getting low performance and your GPU is at 50%, it's usually a CPU bottleneck.
