Overclocking The Graphics Card
Overclocking The Graphics Card
Traditional overclocking - As most of you know, with most video cards you can apply a simple series of tricks to boost the overall performance a little. Typically you can tweak on core clock frequencies and voltages. By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the videocard increase its calculation clock cycles per second.

We halted testing overclocking until AMD can deliver a final driver where it works properly,
There are sliders in the Wattman control panel that allow users to change the clock speeds for the GPU's highest power states. You'll see them there if you pick the “custom” profile.
Unfortunately, there was an issue in the press driver where adjustments made to these sliders are not applied. An updated beta driver however ONLY allowed us to use this driver for playing with Wattman. The standard performance and other tests should still be performed with the previously uploaded driver. Not even AMDhad time to test this functionality with all other aspects of the driver and needs further testing before prime time.
To be updated.
