Overclocking Graphics card or PCI-e

[Jedi940]

Which will give me better results: Overclocking the graphics card core and memory or the pci-e frequency. The graphics card already runs hot so I am looking for the option with the best performance with the least amount of heat increase.

Do not overclock your pci-e frequency. Overclock the video card itself.

 

[lyssword]

Because increasing pci-e frequency theoretically will give you more bandwidth, but most cards use only bout half of pci-e bandwidth, so it will be useless

now that you mention it, I guess that would make sense. do you have any cooling suggestions for the card. I really don't want to spend the money on an aftermarket cooler because they don't seem to do that much good unless you go with a water cooling solution. What is a good temp range to stay within.
