help overclocking Help Overclocking XFX R7 260x 2GB

[Seams]

I realize a XFX R7 260x isn't the ideal gaming GPU for today's games but I came across one for free and couldn't resist trying it out. It's currently the best GPU I have (lol) and would like to see what I could get out of it with some overclocking. **I am using air cooling only**

I have no idea the best way to overclock an AMD GPU. Tried googling and got outdated videos that don't work anymore. Was wondering if someone could help me.

Thanks!

XFX might have software for it which you use for overclocking. Have a look on their site.

They don't seem to have anything, just link to AMD site for drivers and what not. I've never gotten in depth with Overclocking. Old PC had a HD Radeon 6770 and OC'd that to a little over 1000 MHz but didn't understand what I was doing. Used Catalyst for that. I just don't know how to Overclock and don't know what software to use.

Use Msi Afterburner It works with all the cards. Made before 2010

When using afterburner is there anything I need to know? I don't expect to push this card too far with 3 case fans but it is in my chilly 60-65 degree basement. What intervals should I bump the MHz up by and what should I and what shouldn't I mess with?

think theres not mutch oc room, xfx 280x crashes immediately with 1050mhz, keeping its 1000mhz

Id say try 50 mhz bumb every 10 minutes of passing testing then for memory 60mhz intervals.
