Need Help, Best OC Settings For FX6300

Cereil · Jan 30, 2015

I am thinking of changing my GPU as GTX 970 over my r7 265 but I think I will get bottleneck can I get over it with an ideal OC?

Thank you for reading.I am grateful for any advice.

Doesn't matter how you overclock it, there will be ZERO to little difference in performance. Toms has proven this over and over and over.

Uh no OCing does help but it depends on how much you OC and the boost won't be much in most cases. But some performance boost is not Zero to little.

For example an FX 8320 paired with a GTX 980 will get 68 FPS MAX/1200P in Dying Light. 4GHz gets 73FPS, and 4.5GHz gets 79FPS, 4.7/5GHz gets 81FPS. That is not zero to little difference and Dying Light is not the only game you see this kind of boost. It's even more important when you pair a FX CPU with weaker Single Core IPC with a high-end GPU. A OC boost will help bottleneck the GPU less. Even if FPS doesn't increase as long as Frame-time variance/latency improves the difference is enough.

.:edit:.

Now to answering the OPs request/question. There is no Best OC setting. Each CPU works differently with speed and voltage. In order to find the Best OC settings you have to tinker and put time into finding the best OC. For you the best OC is as high as you can go stable without raising your vcore/voltage. If you have a good aftermarket cooler than you can start upping the voltage for higher clocks.

The thing is I have 550W psu I am worried about it. when I checked what my system requires its like 400 W and R7 265 and GTX 970 has nearly same consumption.

I saw people OC'd 4.4-4.6 easly I did OC To 4.1 but I dont think it will be enough for passing bottleneck. would 4.5~ ghz be enough for passing bottle neck such as battle field 4, Dayz ,dying light?

with my current system I am having something between 16-30-60 FPS in dying light

As long as the PSU brand is good and good quality 550W will be good.

As for Dying Light, Tech Spots Review/Benchmark shows GTX 970 (i7 5960X) = 1080P/Max 70FPS. 81FPS for GTX 980.
FX 6350 (3.9GHz) with GTX 980 = 73FPS on Max 1080P/1200P. So with an OCed FX 6300 you'll probably see an average FPS 50-60 but that's a guess by looking at the provided numbers.
