Hello, i have had my GT 710 GPU for a while and it has a base clock of 1020MHz and averages 150-200 Fps on games like Minecraft and my GPU temps are normally (under load) 55 degrees Celsius to 63. I was wondering if i should overclock it to something like 1050-1100MHz. Thanks, George.^_^

Although it's unlikely to matter for performance, no reason not to try :)

 

Grab a stress test like Unigine Heaven and run your overclock through 30 minutes of it. If it passes without weird graphics glitches, chances are the OC will run just fine.

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here
