Hi,
I recently acquired a MSI 950GTX Second hand but unopened for $100.
I was planning on using it for my Wife's part-time gaming rig. I felt the performance was a bit lacking and applied my inexperienced hand at some overclocking to get all games within a smooth 30-60 FPS range.
Overclock stats through MSI Afterburner:
Power: 105%
Temp Target: 85 Degrees
Core clock: +50Mhz
Memory Clock: + 300Mhz
The card's temperature ranges from 60 to 75 degrees under load. Average is 65 Degrees in a 25 degree room (It's hot where I live).
I have noticed no artifacts and have gotten just over a 10% increase in FPS in benchmarks such as Shadow of Mordor and Heaven Unigine.
While I'm now happy with the performance I worry how much of the card's lifespan I'm reducing?
