Overclocking an a10

[Destius]

i have an A10-5800k AND An RX470 sapphire nitro 8gb

of course the gpu is bottlenecked by the cpu

will overclocking it from 3.8Ghz to 4.0/4.2Ghz reduce the bottleneck and give bettter performance and higher fps in more CPU dependent games like GTA V?

It will give it better performance, but not nearly enough to relieve the bottleneck.

It will boost performance however its not going to be noticeable in game play, maybe you'll get 5-10FPS more, depending on the game.

okay i did  not excpect for my a10 to suddenly become a 7700k or something but its nice to know it will increase performace even slightly

also should i try to push the overclock as far as possible untill i get the highest acceptable temperature?
