How to OC PNY GTX 480

Solution
well, since the GTX 480 already produces alot of heat and takes alot of electricity, i wouldn't recommend it, just sayin... the risk/reward may not be worth it...

i am just saying that it is an already very powerful card, but that comes with the price of high voltage/heat at stock speeds. You might be able to tweak it a little higher with rivatuner or something but if you are getting good frames at decent settings then there is probably no reason to OC that card as it is already a VERY capable card.

What resoltuion do you play games at?

at that resolution, there is absolutely no need to OC that GTX 480, but yes, you could overclock it if you wanted to but i wouldn't recommend it unless you are on a higher than 1900 X 1200 or 1920 X 1080 resolution.
