Should I overclock GTX 950M for better gaming experience?

mortimers8 · Apr 25, 2017

Hello!

5 months ago I got myself an ASUS ROG GL552VX and I wanted to know - Is it safe to overclock GTX 950M for a better gaming experience?

I just want to overclock it to run games better like GTA 5, etc.
Will buy witcher 3 soon and wish that I could run it better on 1920x1080 resolution.

Just say it guys, Is it or not good to overclock it just for these reasons to get a bit more FPS?
And could my laptop run for at least 3 - 3.5 years with overclocked GPU?

Spec:

i7-6700HQ 2.60Ghz
GTX 950M 2GB GDDR5
16GB RAM

I overclocked my 940MX 135mhz on the clock and 200mhz on the memory with MSI afterburner and saw about 5-8 fps increase. I didn't notice a temperature increase either but it may have been a couple degrees C. You shouldn't have a problem running the overclock as long as your temps are fine. I would imagine the cooling of your ROG is much better than my E5-575g.

Hey, thanks for replying.

I've tried to overclock with MSI afterburner core clock and memory clock, but I didn't see any significant difference in gaming, not a slightest.
The FPS stays the same to the games I've played...

Tried to just scroll the white ball by adding +135Mhz Core and +200Mhz Memory in the MSI afterburner, which is overclocking - but nothing really changed...
