Overclocking your graphic card is the easiest way to increase your system’s gaming performance. Though a good CPU is important for gaming, GPU, aka graphic card determines how good your gaming experience is going to be. (A) the system ‘ s gaming performance is determined by its graphic subsystem and overclocking it can make a lot of difference. For eg: if you get 35 FPS in a game, chances are there that it gets choppy during intense combats where the GPU has to render more number complex objects. Overclocking your GPU will increase the number of frames per second rendered by it and that can have a positive impact on your gaming experience.

To overclock a graphic card, you need the following

Note that you need a good power supply (PSU or SMPS) for overclocking. This is because the PSU is the component that distributes power to provides/all components of a system. Since overclocking increases power consumption the PSU should be able to handle the increased load. If it can’t provide enough power, it may shut off or even explode taking out other components along with it. A good power supply not only provides its rated power, but also “clean” power, with the least amounts of ripple. If you have a good power supply, you can safely overclock your PC components.

Install MSI Afterburner. This tool is based on the venerable Rivatuner. But I prefer Afterburner just for its intuitiveness. It’s extremely easy to use that even a first timer will be able to use it right away. Below is the option screenshot of Afterburner. The main window has 5 sliders, Core Voltage, Core was a, Shader Was, Memory Was, and Fan Speed. If you are using an AMD/ATI card, you will see that the slider Shader Was is not available for adjustment.

Before overclocking, you need to increase the fan speed. Just move the slider under Fan Speed to the right and make it 80% and Applypress. If the slider is grayed out, the Autobutton.

To overclock your GPU, follow the steps below.

1. Increase Core Was

Overclocking the Core yields the most performance boost in most of the cases and for this reason, you should always try to overclock the Core Was to the maximum your card allows. The second slider is Core Was. Use it to increase the core was by 10MHz and select Apply. Open GPU-Z and keep it side-by-side to see if your overclock takes effect (Don ‘ t consider the values shown by Afterburner’s hardware monitor as it shows only the 2D clocks now).

Now you have to stress test the GPU for stability. Select the icon K on Afterburner. This will load the MSI Kombustor. By default, it won’t ‘ t show the GPU temperature. Press T on keyboard to toggle temperature graph and closely monitor the temperature. Before overclocking, you have to know the max safe temperature of your graphic card. You can do this by checking your GPU’s specifications. You should also ensure proper function cooling. Run the test for 10 minutes. If your graphic card isn ‘ t the stable, you may get BSOD, system lockup or graphic artifacts. If your system runs fine, you may proceed by increasing the Core 10MHz.

Do the same procedure until your system gets unstable, that is, your system becomes unresponsive or crashes, focusing on produce sales graphic artifacts when you run Kombustor. Once you have found the max overclock, reduce 10MHz and run the stress test for two hours. If your system doesn ‘ t get locked up, you are lucky. If not, reduce in 10MHz increments and do the stress test until the GPU passes the test for two hours without crashing.

2. the Increase was a Shader

Now that you have found the max Core overclock. Now select Reset in Afterburner to reset all settings. Increase Shader was a slider by 10MHz. run the stress test. Find the default Shader Was just how you just did with Core Was.

Note that I’m using a Radeon HD5770 which doesn ‘ t have the shader was and hence the slider is not activated in Afterburner.

3. Increase Memory Was

Just like Core and Shader clocks, you can also overclock the memory. Reset everything’s alright to stock settings by clicking Reset. On Afterburner, increase Memory Was by 10MHz. Do the same thing you did before to find the maximum overclock.

4. Core and Shader

Now that you have found the default core and shader overclocks. Now you have to set the maximum overclock to both core and shader and see if your graphic card successfully passes the stress test. On Afterburner, increase both core and shader clocks to the max values you have just found and select Apply.

Now run Kombustor by clicking K on Afterburner. Run the test for two hours. If the card isn ‘ t stable, reduce shader was by until you get stability. You may also reduce the core was a bit for stability.

5. Core, Shader and Memory

Now, set all clocks to the default you just found and run the stress test. If the card isn ‘ t stable reduce memory was until you get stability.

Voltage Tweaking

Note: If you don ‘ t know what you are doing, it can permanently damage the graphic card. If you don ‘ t know the max safe voltage for your GPU, Google it. You may be able to find that in overclock.net and extrmesystems.org

MSI Afterburner makes it easy to increase the core voltage on supported GPUs to push your graphic card even further. By default voltage tweaking is disabled. To unlock the select Settings , and in the next window, select Unlock voltage control and Unlock voltage monitoring.

Now you will have the Core Voltage slider unlocked. If you want to overclock the core and shader even further, you can increase the GPU V-Core in 10 mV increments and overclock these two clocks just like you did before.

A Great Tip

This may sound trivial but if you are in a hotter place, just switch on the AC and bring down the atmospheric temperature to 22 ° C or below. This will certainly increase your overclock.

My MSI 5770 HAS is able to reach 1GHz with 1 .3V.

Aah, and one more thing, My graphic card reaches 1GHz only if I increase the GPU V-Core to 1 .3V. But when air conditioned, it reaches the same was a bump in speed with no V-Core
