Please note that this is general advice and MakeUseOf is not responsible for any hardware damage that comes from overclocking. Always research your specific GPU specs and limits before overclocking. Yes, GPU overclocking can give you a percent gaming performance boost. But, it may not be stable at all times, and your GPU may throttle down because of the increased temperatures if you don't have a good cooling system in place.
As with most things, it doesn't have to be, so long as you take your time and watch or read some tutorials first. The following video is a handy guide on the basics of overclocking. Give it a watch, then consider the tools listed in the article above. They're already incredibly powerful bits of hardware. Want improved laptop gaming performance?
Here's how to improve laptop performance and ensure you can easily run the games you want. Umar has been a tech enthusiast ever since he can remember! He binge-watches youtube videos about technology in his spare time.
He talks about laptops on his blog Laptopar , feel free to check it out! Tick the 'Restore previous settings after game end' to make sure that after the game has been closed, your regular Catalyst preferences are restored again. Back at the top of this dialog box, enter a name in the 'Profile Name' box. Typically the name of the game is appropriate.
At the bottom of the dialog box, click the Save disk icon button and profile will be saved. Now whenever you launch that particular game through its normal game icon, as long as ATT is running in the background i. Alternatively, if you don't want to keep ATT running in the background, click the 'Create Desktop Shortcut' button in the Game Profile dialog box and a new icon will be created on your desktop for this game profile. Whenever you launch the icon, ATT and the relevant game with its profile will be automatically started - you won't need to have ATT load at startup or be resident in memory before launching the game through this icon.
Note that you can further customize game profiles by checking under the Hardware, Additional and Direct3D Tweaks tabs of the Game Profiles dialog box. The more important of these are covered below:.
This is particularly handy if you're using the Desktop icon method, which means you don't have to have ATT staying in the background either before or after using a particular game profile - it only loads itself up when you launch that game profile icon, and it automatically closes itself after you have exited the game. See the On Screen Display section on the next page for more details. Clearly this may not always work, and even if it does, if your graphics card doesn't have hardware support for particular features in a game it will either crash, or experience severe glitching.
The only way to enable VSync and be rid of tearing, yet at the same time not have to worry about reduced framerates in Direct3D games is to enable this Triple Buffering option the main Catalyst Control Center Triple Buffering option only works for OpenGL games.
However if you enable Triple Buffering on a graphics card with less Video RAM, you may experience mouse lag, so if you use VSync enable this option first, then disable it and preferably disable VSync too if you experience mouse lag.
Remember again that any time you change the game profile options to click the Save button to save changes to the Profile. This means that you can simply install the basic ATI graphics drivers without installing the Catalyst Control Center as well, and then use ATT to quickly and easily change the required Catalyst settings, without the added background resource usage of the CCC and.
Since the settings in this section are identical to those of the same name in the Catalyst Control Center section, I recommend that you refer to that section of this guide for more details. This opens up a separate '3D Settings' dialog box to access all of the 3D settings more easily. Note further that there are a few additions to the 3D settings which are not included in the regular CCC, and these are covered below:. It works in much the same way, controlling the number of frames which are calculated in advance of being displayed.
The default is 3, or Undefined, however by lowering this setting you may be able to resolve mouse lag problems, and even prevent graphics freezes in certain games. Experiment by setting this value to 2 first, and then if necessary try an extreme value like 0. For most people however I recommend either 3, 2 or 1 at the lowest as setting a value of 0 can disable the performance benefits of dual core CPUs for example, and in general lowering this setting will reduce overall FPS the lower the setting.
You can try raising it if you want to see if you can gain performance, however again you may experience mouse lag or input lag. This may result in a slight drop in image quality, however for most games this should not be noticeable, and in return you should gain some extra FPS. Finally, if you want to use custom 3D setting profiles, you can select one under the '3D Profiles' menu. For example the 'Max Speed' profile automatically configures the various 3D settings to give you maximum possible speed at the cost of image quality.
Generally not recommended; best if you work out which setting does what with the help of guides like this and set them according to your personal preference for eye-candy vs performance. You can of course save your own custom profile by using the Profile box at the bottom of the 3D Settings menu. This section of the ATT main menu accesses a range of overclocking and hardware monitoring functions.
Overclocking Settings: This option opens up the Overclocking dialog box, which allows you to view and alter your graphics card's Core and Memory clock speeds. You need to tell the server what application should it monitor and display the OSD. Turn the server on, and click MB on its tray icon and select 'Setup'.
Close the window when You finished. That's all about setting it up. Run the game to check if everything is working correctly. Last edited by a moderator: May 8, Destiny , Sep 18, You must log in or sign up to reply here.
