Overclocking a video card can be factory, when the manufacturer itself increases some of the standard parameters. And there is custom overclocking, when the user himself tries to overclock. This may not always work. Moreover, in this case, the user loses the warranty on the computer. Overclocking a video card is, in fact, changing the frequencies of the video card and memory. These changes are made using special utilities. In addition, it is necessary to check the stability of the work.
Instructions
Step 1
You need to monitor the stability of the work every time after moving the "sliders" of the utilities. Do not immediately set large values - this can lead to a "freeze" of the computer. In this case, the computer must be restarted.
Step 2
There are various utilities for overclocking video cards. The most widespread and universal is RivaTuner v.2.09. But, of course, you can use any other utilities for overclocking video cards.
Step 3
If the utilities are not integrated into the driver, they must be loaded at all times. If this condition is met, overclocking will remain.
Step 4
Anyone can do the overclocking described above. But you can do overclocking in a different way. However, it is better not to do it for beginners. There are utilities with which you can change the supply voltage that is supplied to the video card core. This is a software voltmod. There is also a hardware voltmod. With this extreme overclocking of the video card, changes are made to the design of the video card. Also, overclocking a video card is possible using utilities that change the frequencies in the BIOS of video cards.
