Point Of View 6200 TC
15. Overclocking
No matter your graphics card, there comes a time in your computer's life when it can no longer cope with the latest technology the ever so popular games use. This is one of the main reasons for overclocking your graphics card. Gamers are always looking forward for a little extra boost in terms of framerate. Even though most of the times the boost is far from noticeable, overclocking remains the last resort when you can't afford to buy a brand new VGA card.
Increasing the memory clock too much, produces the so-called "artifacts". |
The stock clock speeds for the Point Of View 6200 TurboCache are 350MHz for the GPU and 275MHz for the memory. Using coolbits, we unlocked the hidden overclocking utility of the NVidia drivers and used it to change these frequencies to 400MHz and 325MHz.
The performance boost we got is moderately good. Fortunately, the framerates increased right where we needed them to increase: in the lowest resolutions, providing us with a more enjoyable game environment.
