I'm just wondering if I can possibly overclock my GPU or CPU. I know my mobo isn't too great at all for overclocking, so I don't plan to do it much, but I was just wondering if I can overlock just a little. Let me know if I can, or if it will be so little of a boost that there will be no point in overclocking.

How much of an increase do you think i'd be able to get if I were to overclock my GPU

I overclocked the GPU and the clock speed went from 1020 MHz to 1135 MHz. How many more frames should I expect to get?

 


that entirely depends
