Why overclock your graphics card?

[NeoZeon]

If you have a high end card... do you need to overlock it???

i only did it to have my 1080 at 2000mhz lol i could push it farther but i reached my goal so im staying at it

No, you absolutely don't need to. But high end cards tend to be the best overclocking cards so why not get as much performance as you possibly can? Even if you only OC a little bit it's still more performance you're going to get from the card and if it's an OC where you don't have to raise voltages or anything then you aren't even harming your card whatsoever.

You don't need to overclock it but you may better FPS in games and general performance if your cooler/ case airflow is up to the job

You don't have to, but it is basically free performance

Running @ 2000 FPS... Didn't your eyes work @ 30 FPS? *doesn't get why people need 100+ FPS*

It's all about the pursue of performance, baby.

I don't think anyone wanna play games at 2000fps. It would cause coil whine and it would be realy unplayable.

Probbably the best would be 144Hz monitor with 144fps at all times.

I never had 144Hz monitor so no idea how much better it is than 60 fps.

 

But I will be glad if I can achive magic number of 60 FPS <3

More fps is still better, the latency improves, only a little bit, but it does.
