The gain of this overclocking is around 7.5%. Now, let’s see the gain of this overclocking: After each modification, wait at least for two or three minutes to be sure your graphics card is stable.Īs you can see, final clocks are different from previous max clocks found separately. But now, depending on the artifacts you see, you can drop the right clock. You will certainly see artifacts with these settings because set all clocks to the max will produce more heat. Set all clocks to their max stable values. The max stable Memory clock I found is: 1083MHz. Here is the video that shows artifacts due to a too high memory clock: With this GeForce GTS 250, exceeding max memory clock causes small rectangular artifacts on FurMark. Now increase Memory clocks until you see artifacts. About 230MHz in more…Ĭlick on Default button to restore default clocks.
The max stable Shader clock I found is: 2074MHz. Here is the video that shows artifacts due to a too high shader clock:
With this GeForce GTS 250, exceeding max shader clock causes large artifacts on FurMark. Now increase Shader clocks until you see artifacts. About 100MHz in more!Ĭlick on Default button to restore default clocks. The max stable GPU clock I found is: 837MHz. In this situation, the only solution is to click on Default button to restore default clocks. With this GeForce GTS 250, exceeding max GPU clock causes a FurMark freeze (but on other cards, too high GPU clock may cause small dots). After each increase, wait a little bit (30sec) before increasing the clock again. In case of artifacts, drop the clock by 5Mhz until they disappear. Increase GPU clock until you see something strange (artifacts or freeze). Now RivaTuner shows you the default clocks: But if your card is not overclocked, just click on Detect now: RivaTuner will ask you to reboot in order to detect the graphics card clocks. Start RivaTuner and display frequencies and temperature monitoring: Press I key to hide text on the 3D window (that will speed up a tad the rendering). Start FurMark in stability test mode, in a 512×512 window with no AA, and check Xtreme Burning Mode: At this point, drop the clocks until you don’t see artifacts anymore. I bet you will see artifacts on FurMark because all values to the max will produce more heat.
Before starting the overclocking, we have to know the graphics card default clocks. FurMark: will allow you to burn the graphics card to check stability.Ī GeForce has three different clocks we’re going to change: GPU clock, Shader clock and Memory clock.RivaTuner: RivaTuner will allow you to changes graphics card clocks.To find these max clocks, you need two utilities: By stable I mean no freeze nor artefacts. Basically, overclocking a graphics card is an easy operation: find the max graphics card’s clocks that keep the video card stable.

Okay, now that the hardware side is in place, let’s see the software one. This cooler is really efficient and is very quiet! So first thing I did was to replace this cooler with a better one: the Scythe’s Musashi: This GeForce, from Twintech, was equiped with a really noisy cooler (and not efficient): Why I need to overclock my graphics card? Overclocking your graphics card will allow you to get the most out of your card for free! You can expect a gain up to 10%!

Today, a small hardware tutorial: how to overclock a GeForce GTS 250 (1Gb GDDR3). Using a slower video card may lead to performance issues in-game.CAUTION: Overclocking can damage your graphics card (not covered by your warranty) so use the information of this post at your own risk. NVIDIA GeForce GT 750M (2 GB VRAM), AMD Radeon R9 M290 (2 GB VRAM), and Intel UHD Graphics 630 (45W TDP with 8 GB System RAM on macOS 10.13 or higher) Metal capable GPU are the minimum required cards to run World of Warcraft.
