overclocking new computer
« on: April 16, 2015, 06:06:24 PM »
  First I'm new at overclocking a graphics card, gpx960. I am using this computer to play Aces High only. Went into Unigene "Heaven", to do a custom (core-memory) boost with MSI afterburner.  On the custom settings I used ultra quality, directX 11, anti aliasing off. Tessellation, stereo 3D, multi-monitor, all off. Used same resolution as I use in Aces High. My question mainly is; should I use tessellation when setting overclocking for this game? As same goes for anti aliasing, don't use any for this game, so left it off during overclocking. Do I need to have it on?  I got a 16 frame rate increase using these settings with "heaven", and just started playing Aces High with the new boost clock settings, which seem to hold my framerate pretty solid in the game.  My power consumtion 89.2%, temp. maintains 54c at testing and is lower playing the game. Any overclocking info anyone has would be apprechiated, Thanks for all the help present and past: 1EAGLE1

think the rule is to oc your video card using software provided by gpu maker.  to oc cpu it's been safer to do it from within bios.  it's not really that dificult to oc using bios, the hard part is finding the optimal oc.

I have never used afterburner since i can oc my evga vc using evga software and oc my cpu easily thru bios.
