GPU Overclocking Question

[Hi P]

1.- Gaming wise, what positive impact does overclocking the GPU has? (aside from FPS boost)

 

2.- Aside from gaming, what kind of tasks / programs are affected positively by overclocking the GPU?

 

Thank you

1. Smoother gameplay... Framerate boost is really why you overclock. 

 

2. anything that needs parallel computation like CAD modeling, 3D rendering like Blender, 3DS Max (though I think it's cpu based), Octane, etc. Really any mass parallel processing functions well on it. (That's why GPUs are so good at mining. )

You can turn up settings without FPS going down.

Things that use the GPU a lot. E.g. Blender. I'm not sure but some CAD programs might also be able to take advantage.

1) If it a 10 series card from nvidia it wont matter really, GPU boost 3 pushes it to the limit already and the card will auto dial back your OC at certain temperature targets like 72C i believe

 

2) rendering, anytask that can use GPU acceleration, video encoding, some adobe work, etc, but see above.

nothing other than a fps boost

any that require the gpu to do calculations although overclocking isn't going to show that big of a difference in something like gpu rendering

1. Sounds cool, bragging rights etc
