I've never really overclocked my stuff before because I've never had to.
I upgraded to an 8800GT recently putting my system up to this:
3500+
EPOX EP9NPA +Ultra
450w FSP Group
2GB PC3200 ValueSelect
8800GT
I bought crysis tonight and it runs at 15-20fps at Low settings and 15-20fps at very high settings. It's got to be the CPU holding me back. Not that it wasn't expected.
I'm not wanting to upgrade my ram/mobo/cpu for another few months, so in the mean time, would overclocking my CPU make a noticeable difference in my in-game performance? More than 3-4 FPS?
Thanks in advance,
Ryan
PS: I'm using stock cooling for my CPU and i have 1 intake, 1 side and 2 exhaust 80mm fans.
