I think your 950 is the weakest link. Why? It's an entry level card. I did not say low end.

Entry Nvidia card? 950

Mid 960

High 970

Very high 980

Top-end 980 Ti

Of course the current generation would be more powerful still.

In addition to its status it also has relatively low amount of VRAM.

Let's consider this screenshot

If I was to look at my VRAM 2743MB I wouldsee that I am well exceeding my installed amount meaning it's creating a bottleneck. You can run MSI afterburner and...


That is OC'ing(overclocking to mere mortals).

Number one? You need a Z97 motherboard to OC K sku CPUs. BINGO!!!! Yahtzee!!! We have a winner!!!!!!

We need a K sku CPU. WAh wah waaahhhhh. We have a loser.

The answer is no because of your locked CPU. You MIGHT be able to move it to its max turbo frequency but OC'ing you can't do.

Why do you want to apply such a mild OC? Just because a game says it likes a certain CPU at 3.4GHz doesn't mean a CPU at 3.2 GHz won't work. That's not really a huge loss. Sorry aboot the assumption there. Simply curious why oh whyyyyy you want to apply an OC like that.

Turbo boost to it's max frequency? YES!!!!
OC? No.

One possible workaround?

Right click Start, click Power Options, click additional power options, choose high performance, click change plan settings, click change advanced power settings, scroll down to Processor Power Management, click the + in front of it, set the Minimum and Maximum Processor State to 100%.

Click OK. Close those other windows. Your desktop should never be that messy. That should make it stay at 3.4GHz all the time.

BUT. BUT!!! Sometimes man, SOMETIMES!!!! You are simple watching a video, asking a question on the incredibly spectacular website that is Tom's hardware or performing other low intensity tasks.

Consider this. You are riding through a residential neighborhood. You tehn ride through an active school zone. You then exit that neighborhood but the police pull you over. They had some complaints and he himself is a little confused. You were going the right speed limit but you have the pedal to the metal(carpet) in each instance. Your car is in neutral(you obviously have a stick shift) but your RPM's are pegged to the end of the redline. Why do you feel the need to have your vehicle at full power when the speed limit back there was only 20mph?


Turbo boost usually has its bi-polar twin. When your PC needs the power it will offer those additional MHz. When it doesn't need the power it will downclock itself to its designed lowest processor state. My 4690K? 3.9GHz when doing some extreme gaming. When performing mundane tasks? It downclocks to 800MHz. Saves on power and HEAT.
 


How much RAM do you have? Which video card do you have? Which power supply do you have? A power supply is not 500W. A power supply(just an example) is an EVGA 500W B 80+ Bronze PSU.

Your CPU takes care of the boosting. You don't need to change anything. It automatically boosts to 3.4Ghz when necessary.

You will notice a performance increase with the 1060 6GB. Whatever that guy was doing(disabling speedstep and upgrading BIOS) does what exactly? Return .2GHz of CPU power possibly slightly quicker. Waste of your time.
