If i overclock my gpu?

[DND]

Hey guys just wanted to ask if i overclock my gpu could i still sell it within a reasonable price range? my gpu is a gtx 970 and as of now it's around 4-5mos old.

Do you mean will it damage it and make it unsellable or will it increase in price cause you've overclocked it?

if you dont damage it, it should be fine. And I dont think your obligated to say its been overclocked (although if you overclocked it to an unsafe degree it would be kinda a jerk move)

Depends on how hight you overclock , people make a big deal about buying non overclocked pc parts, so you would have to make the argument of "well look it CAN run this fast if you overclock"

Something like that cause they say that if you overclock the lifespan would go down right? so

Oh i see so the price wouldn't go down so much right? Naah i'm not gonna do something like that just gonna oc it to get a decent amount performance boost but i wouldn't push the card to it's limit.

yes but you must post it in a listing but don't go crazy with voltage person who buys the card might not have as good as a power supply as you!

if you overclock the card you have to be careful since you have a 620w psu and you oc the card and the buyer has a 550w osu it could kill there system i think or it would damage some parts

oh i see. So if i overclocked it and planning to sell the gpu i should put the details that i overclocked it and the details of the settings that i got? Is my understanding correct?

yes and say what you recomend for watage for the overclock so if you 300+ core and 250+ memory you should say 600w just don't go overboard or no oc at all
