    Tech Overclocking

    Is it safe to overclock my PC/graphics card with NVidea's nTune software?

    I'm running a GeForce 8400 (256 cache) and and an Athlon Dual core 4.6 (that's 2x 2.3's I suppose) with 2GB of RAM.

    Paul.

    i wouldnt bother unless you got a 88oo GT 8800 GTS 8800 ULTRA
    as youl only get about 5%
    and on that card that wont do diddly to see any difference

    i dont see much improvement on my 8800 GTS
    only on benchmark proggys where i get 5 fps or more

    Maybe a small clock but nothing worthwhile, but more spec would be beneficial

    If you think (and most seem to) it's hardly worthwhile, then I'll leave it untweaked. I was just curious that's all, but I haven't ever overclocked before in case it blew something up or bured something out.

    I'll let it stay as it is.


    Thanks for looking and replying all.

    Regards.

    Bilbo.
