Mentioned video card overclocking, I believe many experienced DIY players have tried to master graphics overclocking skills can be said that DIY players from novice to veteran the only way.
As the name suggests, overclocking is to enhance the graphics core and memory frequency, in order to enhance the performance of the entire card.Compared to the flow of stacked processors to improve the structure and other practices, overclocking is the most simple and crude way to enhance performance, whether manufacturers or gamers will be a certain graphics Overclocking, this is the non-public version of the card compared to the main card version of the main selling point.
As the higher the graphics chip level, the stronger the overclocking performance, so most players are overclocking the card level and above.
In fact, the thousand-level graphics card also has a good overclocking potential, although the chip is slightly worse than the high-end graphics card, but due to the lower setting of the frequency of these cards, overclocking potential is also great.
In order to verify the overclocking strength of the thousand-level graphics card, I RX 560D, for example, for a certain overclocking, and then test the card in the "Jedi survival" 1.0 official version of the performance.
Test platform environment at a glance
In order to ensure that the test can play the best performance of the graphics card, this test platform uses a new 7 generation Core Duo - Intel Core i7-7700K processor, Gigabyte Z270 chipset motherboard, Asustek DDR4-2133 32GB dual channel memory, Xin Valley 1080W platinum power formed from the detailed hardware specifications as shown in the following table:
↑↑↑ video card parameters before and after overclocking
I use Wattman will Dylan RX 560D super core frequency of 148MHz to 1324MHz, the equivalent memory frequency from 6000MHz to 7000MHz, the overall frequency increase of about 15%, running the 3DMark no flare flashover occurs, overclocking success.
Game screen settings
↑↑↑ game screen settings
Game resolution is set at 1920 * 1080, the picture quality is set to very low, anti-aliasing is too high, turn off vertical sync and motion blur, use Fraps to test the average number of frames in the actual game scene.
Before and after overclocking game frame comparison
I chose a relatively open game scene in the desert map, the scene contains the distance scenery, vehicles, buildings, etc., basically in line with the players in the actual game encountered the actual situation, but not the most demanding situation, we come Take a look at 1080p resolution before the open nuclear contrast between the actual number of frames:
After testing can be seen, RX 560D at 1080p resolution, Very low quality before and after overclocking the average number of frames were 59.7 and 63.4 frames, the number of frames rose 6.2%, the performance improvement is more obvious.Thus, even a thousand yuan graphics card, it still has good potential for overclocking.
Last but not least, online rumors often claim that overclocking reduces life in my opinion is an exaggeration.
After the video card overclocking, as long as the video card is not in high load all the time, just playing the game is difficult to see the video card is reduced in life, even if the reduction is very small, so you aware of the performance and not On the times, you should have a new video card.
