Am i getting the most from my Asus 660 Ti?

[Jon79]

Ok, i admit i'm looking to get that extra bit of performance out of Fallout 4 and i'm starting to look more closely at my gfx card (having ignored it for the past 3 years).

I want to make sure the core is set at the right level (advertised as 157MHz higher than reference) and that the GPU boost, where ever that is found, is working and doing its job. I'd also consider a small overclock if i can get away with it.

Also, my Asus motherboard has a performance setting on it which is currently set to normal. I'm wondering if it is worth changing that setting or if that doesn't directly affect the gfx card?

Any advice appreciated.

p.s. this is my exact card http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0096EXI9Q?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

If you ignored it for the years, the first thing you should do is check it isn't clogged with dust.

I actually just got a 660ti today from a work colleague after his system blew up, so can probably keep it in there for a few days if you need advice on settings.

In terms of overclocking, MSI Afterburner is pretty easy to use. You might be able to get a small overclock without adding voltage.

OP you'd best change the link to the card to Asus's website rather than the rainforest...you don't wannt risk getting sent on holiday by the mod during this Black Friday week...
