We found a small tweak that will bring your boost frequency towards almost 1075 MHz stable.

So really it is a matter of trial and error and finding your preferred or maximum balance in terms of extra performance versus noise levels. Now then, overclocking did get more complicated as increasing the Boost functionality has an effect on voltage and thus power consumption which effects the maximum allowed board power and so on. In the end we ended up reinstalling an OS backup image as even a System Restore would not get us out of this little black hole. In our case the overclock resulted into a black screen crash, and with each boot-up, the OC applied itself again before we could reach the control panel to enable default. We tried and failed miserably as once the OC is applied, it will be reinstated during Windows boot-up. We do not recommend you to overclock with the Catalyst Control panel. Then additionally you can manually alter Temps and Core clock.

I really wouldn't know why you need to overclock today's tested card anyway, but we'll still show it.Īs you will notice, in the new driver you can overclock by just changing the slider on GPU clock and Power Limit. Carefully find that limit and then back down at least 20 MHz from the moment you notice an artifact. Usually when you are overclocking too hard, it'll start to show artifacts, empty polygons or it will even freeze. Usually when your 3D graphics start to show artifacts such as white dots ("snow"), you should back down 10-15 MHz and leave it at that. More advanced users push the frequency often way higher. Example: If your card runs at 600 MHz (which is pretty common these days) then I suggest that you don't increase the frequency any higher than 30 to 50 MHz. I always tend to recommend to novice users and beginners, to not increase the frequency any higher than 5% on the core and memory clock. It sounds hard, but it really can be done in less than a few minutes. Overclocking: By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the videocard increase its calculation clock cycles per second. We can really recommend it, download here. One of the best tools for overclocking NVIDIA and ATI videocards is our own AfterBurner which will work with 90% of the graphics cards out there. And then there is overclocking, which will give you the best possible results by far. You can do this at two levels, namely tweaking by enabling registry or BIOS hacks, or very simply to tamper with Image Quality. As most of you know, with most video cards you can apply a simple series of tricks to boost the overall performance a little.
