overclocking

[Matt_Twinkletoes]

how much of a performance boost am I looking at when I overclock a graphics card?

[AdamH96]

Depends really...

[Oshino Shinobu]

Depends on the card, game, rest of the system, power supply, cooling and the individual chip that you have. 

 

EDIT: It can range from 0% (either the card will not overclock at all, or the game/application just gains no benefit from it) to 20%+

 

I personally got around 20% increase in some games when I overclocked my GPU:

Each card is different..

Nothing is set in stone.

Some can't OC at all

Some get 25% improvements or more... (My HD7950 had a 900Mhz core clock, yet I eventually found it stable at 1175Mhz core clock + voltage required)

Usually in the middle, 10-20%

 

Trial and error.

Keep temps under control, Coreclock gives more performance than the memory clock by the way, to the point, don't touch memory clocks at all until you find your max coreclock.

Usually around 15% if your card has an average overclocking ability. This could change if your chip luck was low/high

this is before and after overclocking my 970 to 1500MHz and 7806mhz

If you can provide only the graphics score for both that'd be a better indication of the gain you had.

While not wrong or misleading,....the combined final score isn't just taking into account the GPU

Everything depends on the hardware components in your build.

What about the gtx 750ti ftw edition

Nothing changes... read below, it's like this for EVERY card.

Some get a lot of performance from OC'ing.
