How to overclock display card? What are the harm?

To overclock your graphics card, you can follow these steps: First, choose an overclocking program, then select a benchmarking and stress testing tool, and finally overclock your GPU using a program like MSI Afterburner. However, it's important to note that overclocking your GPU can cause harm to your graphics card . The chips in the graphics card can become destroyed due to overheating, which may shorten its lifespan. When overclocking, keep in mind the four primary points of interest: GPU core clock, memory clock, GPU voltage, and fan speed. It's crucial to monitor the temperature of your graphics card while overclocking to prevent any damage.

Tip: If you want to give more power to the CPU and GPU for a slight performance boost, increase the default Core Voltage (%) by +5 or +10 only.
Note: If you start getting lags and glitches in the visuals, don't panic because it's completely normal. It means that the current values in MSI Afterburner are too high, so you should lower both values to a safe level and save the changes.
MSI Afterburner: Here's how you can overclock using MSI Afterburner:

1. Open MSI Afterburner and navigate to its Settings tab (indicated by a gear icon).
2. Under the General window, check the boxes next to Unlock voltage control and Unlock voltage monitoring.
3. Click Apply and OK to save the changes. After this, MSI Afterburner will restart.
4. Click the A button to disable the automatic control. Enter 70 in the text box next to Fan Speed (%).
5. Increase the Core Clock (MHz) slider by a small amount (for example, +20). Similarly, increase the Memory Clock (MHz) slider by +10.
6. Click the check or tick button at the bottom of MSI Afterburner to apply the changes.

You're still not done yet. You need to know how to run a stress test or benchmark to see if the changes are stable. You can try increasing the limits if the test passes without any issues. However, if the test fails or the GPU crashes, lower the clock speed and try again.
Benchmarking Test: Benchmarking is slightly different from stress testing. Benchmarking allows you to measure the performance of your GPU by running a series of tests and providing a score. On the other hand, stress-testing tools put your GPU under a heavy load to see how it behaves under such conditions.After you have stress tested your GPU and ensured that it is stable at the new clock speed, you can run a benchmarking test to see the performance improvements.Here's how you can benchmark using MSI Kombustor:

1. Open MSI Kombustor on your PC.
2. Mark the checkbox next to Fullscreen.
3. Choose the benchmarking option that matches your display resolution. Click BENCHMARK to start benchmarking.

ty for that useful information bro fr

Teşşekürler

eyyy man thanks for the info

I have decided to buy a card. this information will help me

ihope it doest affect the fps drop

thanks man, Ill try it

i dont recommend this . this may cause high tempreture degrees and crashes

Some computers can overclock in BIOS settings

Is it working for rog asus g751jy?

i'm using undervolting for my gpu

thanks for sharing, i'ill try it later.

Thank you for the information. I will keep it in mind when I am overclocking my graphics card.

thanks for this long info i read it all. I'll try it later maybe with my card

I thank you my friend. I'll try it

better not to overclock for just a few fps

i never knew that overclocking your gpu was this easy, Thank you

Unfortunately, my graphics card is very junk

will try that . good info

Thank you for your dedication, I was looking for this. I will do some performance tests on my machine
