Hi,
I recently purchased an R7 250X GPU as a little upgrade over my APU graphics.
Here is my current rig:
AMD A4-5300
Sapphire R7 250X 1GB DDR5
Gigabyte GA-F2A55M-DS2
4GB RAM
Seagate 250 GB HDD
Ovation P4-600 (450W true rated) PSU
I am currently playing League of Legends at High Settings with AA and Vertical Sync On without any problems. Unfortunately for Battlefield 4 and Far Cry 3, I am not satisfied since I cannot push the settings to my monitor's resolution (1440x900) and High Settings with AA off.
My current graphics settings for Battlefield 4 is 1280x720 with Medium Settings and AA off. For Far Cry 3, I use the same resolution but I can manage High Settings. I monitored my FPS using FRAPS and it gave me low 30s to high 40s FPS for both games.
QUESTIONS:
1. Can I overclock my R7 250X and will it produce better results? I am not looking for dramatic results; just a little bump to at least around 40-50 FPS average.
2. What overclocking program do you recommend? I have AMD Overdrive, and looking at Sapphire Trixx and MSI Afterburner.
Note: I do not wish to achieve 1080p gaming, since my monitor will also bottleneck it. I just want smooth and stable frame rates at 720p.
Hope the experts in this site can provide input and advice.
Thanks!
