All you have to do is install the overclocking tool and see how far it can go! Check it out at TechARP. They even allow you to control the fan speed. Based on 119,493 user benchmarks for the Nvidia GeForce GT 545 and the GTX 660, we rank them both on effective speed and value for money against the best 677 GPUs. NVIDIA conveniently provides us with all the necessary tools for easy overclocking, with complete access to the core, shader and memory clock speeds. There's no way to know for sure without testing, and that's what we are going to do today. Note: The Nvidia GeForce GT 710 is in the fact the graphics card chosen for this season’s inaugural Cheapaz Chips contest on OC-ESPORTS. Of course, its overclockability would be limited by the fact that it is only powered by the PCI Express bus, limiting it to just 75 W of power. Hopefully by the end of this guide you will see that is actually quite easy to get a solid performance boost when overclocking more affordable hardware like the GT 710.

Finally, it comes with a HD audio processor built-in, so it supports 8-channel LPCM right out of the box.Īs it runs with such a low thermal output, it would be a sin not to exploit that and try overclocking it to the max. We will also show you the kind of performance boost you can expect from overclocking the GeForce 8800 GT in Company of Heroes, F.E.A.R., BioShock and Crysis.

It also supports DirectX 10.1 (as little of a difference that makes), DirectCompute 1.2 (instead of DirectCompute 1.1 in the GeForce 9600 GT) and a newer version of the PureVideo HD video processor. Let us show you how to do that by overclocking the GPU and memory bus. This makes it a superior solution as it is cheaper and has a lower power consumption and thermal output. Our review of the Galaxy GeForce GT 240 (DDR5) showed that it was as fast as the GeForce 9600 GT (96 W).
