How to overclock a graphics card

GPU-Z will again verify that everything has applied successfully during your final stability checks and you should have got a bit more bang for buck with your performance.
One thing that we didn’t mention is keeping an eye on temperatures as you don’t want to fry your card. By this simple overclocking method, we didn’t raise the voltage at all, and therefore, not a massive amount of extra heat is likely to be generated from the card and even if it did the sophisticated features of the card should enable the fan to spin at a slightly higher spin rate due to the extra temperature.
You can now go and brag to your friends about how your card is quicker than theirs and you can even prove it by running the benchmarks again or by using FRAPS to see how much of an increase in performance your favourite game gained and you may be pleasantly surprised as to how much extra performance was squeezed out in this very simple steps.
