Then add +100 to your core clock and hit apply. Next, max out your core-voltage, power limit and the temp limit (don’t worry as long as the temps are stable, you’ll be fine). Check your case ventilation, increase your fan speed (at the expense of noise) or simply buy a custom water block or something. If not, then do something about your thermals. If the average is below 75 degrees, you’re good to go. Firstly enable temperature and core clock monitoring and fire up your test game to see how the temps are holding up prior to the overclock. It can be the thermal limit, the power limit, the voltage, or simply your silicon lot in life. Limiting factor (PerfCap-NVIDIA only): This is the reason why you can’t push your clocks past a specific limit. Memory Clock offset: This is the figure by which you’ll be overclocking your GPU memory. Core Clock offset: This is the figure by which you’ll be overclocking your GPU core. Usually, when the GPU temps cross 75 degrees, or the TDP goes above the set limit, your GPU clocks will start throttling. Throttling: This is the gradual decrease in the in-game core clocks that is a safety measure put in place by the OEMs to keep you from frying your GPU. This is the point when there’ll be a substantial drop in the core clocks to keep the temperatures in check. The temperature limit is the same, except, the GPU will start throttling as soon as you hit 75+ degrees. Power and Temperature Limit: The power limit is the maximum power your GPU will draw while operating at peak frequencies without throttling the clocks. Although back in the days of Fermi this was a risky parameter, now, courtesy of GPU Boost, there are too many safeguards in place, so you need not worry. Core Voltage: This is the additional voltage you’ll be feeding your GPU to extend the overclocking headroom. You can use Heaven or Valley too, but real games are the best test.įirst and foremost, let’s go over the terms used in overclocking: We prefer Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, The Division 2, or Shadow of the Tomb Raider. 
A GPU Intensive Game with an in-built benchmark.Let’s get overclocking! How to Overclock Your Graphics Card You just need a couple of free overclocking tools and a benchmarking application which can be a game or a synthetic like Unigine Heaven or Valley. Unlike CPUs, you don’t have to mess with the BIOS or worry about BSODs here. If done right, it won’t void your warranty and can boost your gaming performance by at least 10%. Overclocking GPUs is a fairly safe and easy process.
