Need to overclock a GPU

[woolio1]

The one in question is an XFX Nvidia GeForce 9500 GT, currently clocked at factory frequencies. The card is not pre-overclocked, so I should be able to pull it off...

I assume the current clock settings are what's under "Custom", and all grayed out...

Core Clock: 550mhz
Memory clock: 400Mhz
Shader clock: 1350

So... Yeah! That should be everything you need to know, or want to know... Thanks.

You could use EVGA Precision. (works with most cards, even ones that aren't EVGA)

So... Do you know what the safest, yet fastest I could overclock it would be? That's really what I need to know...

if you've got decent cooling you could probably pull a good 750/900 on core/memory

I would try incrementing up 20 Mhz at a time. Use AVi Tool to detect any errors. Once you hit an artifact on the 3d test back down to the last clock you were set at that doesn't artifact.

forgot to mention this, you definitely shouldn't go straight to those speeds. I would go up about 10-20 MHz at a time.

MSI Afterburner is the best one imo.

Every card would give a different result, you'll have to experiment it yourself

There're always risks.

MSI afterburner rivatuner, and on another note don't OC at big gaps, only move up 10-20 mhz at a time, don't want to damage it.
