When Overclocking a video card......

Not going by mhz but by percent.....Will a 10% core oc or a 10% mem oc give me better performance??? ive always wondered this thanks

any overclockin will warrant a boost in performance, wether its noticable is a different kettle of fish.


in general ive always assumed that a 10% is pretty safe, though with some of todays high end cards which already come pre overclocked its not really the case.

no no no .....i mean will a 10% oc on the core give a bigger boost than on a 10% memory or vice versa

I'd go with the core. It's similar to OC'ing your comp. Always go with a greater core clock speed rather than mem clock.

probably depend on resolution and levels of AA. If you run high resolutions with AA I would say memory, otherwise GPU. It depends on if you're bandwidth limited by the memory speed I would assume.
