Hello,
I've recently been overclocking my chip to 4.2ghz and 4.4ghz (Haven't pushed further yet) just trying to see how much of an impact it has on gaming performance and the games that I've been trying is:
Guild Wars 2 and World of Warcraft
In WoW the difference from stock clocks to 4.4ghz was like 1 fps difference? if that, I think 4.2ghz was actually worse by 1 fps!
Haven't tested GW2 yet properly but it seems similar also, no major increase in FPS from CPU overclock.
Strange because I thought these two games were CPU-Intensive rather than GPU!
My question is,
Is it worth overclocking my CPU for gaming performance, like will it ever give me a huge increase in FPS like 5+ at least?
Going to 4.4ghz has given me 1 fps, if I hit 4.6ghz would that give me 2fps? haha
Anyway resolution is 1080p and using a HD 6870 graphics card.
Thanks.
