Hello Forum Members.
I need some questions answered.
1st of all I have never OC'd any of my Video Cards before. I'm really interested. I'm running 2650x1440 as my main gaming monitor flanked by 2 1920x1080monitors for 2D applications. I think I need to get the most out of my card for this resolution. I'm getting huge dips in GW2 (I know I know, it’s not optimized for Nvidia yet but I'm still worried) And why not get as much FPS as I can =)
I’ve been reading forums and such but can’t get anywhere. Need all the advice I can get.
Let’s get to the meat of my questions:
1. How much performance gain on average would I be seeing? (I see about 10% on forums) –I know it’s different on every card. –but average.
2. What about life expectancy in regards to OC vs. Non-OC
3. Do I need a Cooler like I did my CPU?
4. I read that it “throttles back” when it reaches 70C? When I play D3 running Temperatures is already 75C. Is that normal? Does that throttle back already? I’m confused about this…
5. What does Back plating do?
6. I can only seem to find GTX670 OC’s steps –would it be the same as GTX680? (link below)

7. Will updated drivers mean I have to OC again?
8. Is everything done on Precision X? IF not what else?
9. Warranty with OC-ing using Precision X?
10. Am I missing anything?
11. Links? with step-by-step for a noob?
Thanks in advance for all your comments and replies. Look forward to hearing from you!
Note: Rest of system is on my signature!
