Hello, I run a Galaxy Geforce GT 620 2GB video card. It's already factory overclocked.
Core Clock: 710MHz
Memory Clock: 510MHz
I can run the games I plan without a problem but I would like a little bit more performance. I currently play Skyrim on high settings without AA or AF at 40 frames. That is of course reasonable for me but, if I overclocked would my performance be a lot better? I already downloaded MSI Afterburner, what settings should I try overclocking the card to?
I am totally new to overclocking and I would really like some help. The card currently runs at 30 C. I'd imagine if I OC it too much I may run into trouble of it burning up. What would recommend me overclocking it to? Thanks so much! Below I will show my exact system to be as descriptive as possible.
