cantab Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 What kind of boosts you can get depends on the hardware.My own system has a Phenom II X3 710 clocked to 3.1 GHz, from the 2.6 GHz stock. The graphics card is "factory overclocked" but I've not touched it further.For CPUs, I'd say a gain of around 25% is typical. Some, but not all, multiplier locked CPUs have negligible overclocking ability though - so do your research and be careful.For GPUs I'm not sure about what clock speed boosts you can expect. I would keep in mind though that the overall range in performance among modern GPUs is rather larger than for modern CPUs, because while CPUs typically have 2-8 parallel cores, for GPUs the range is more like 50-2000. Thus the difference overclocking makes in the scheme of things is more modest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
