GPU Overclocking Performance

[DarkHorizon472]

Quick question about overclocking Graphics cards (GPU's)

Which has the most effect overclocking the memory or its core or do you need to do both ?

I have a 6950 and was just interested as I have set it to 6970 speeds and it runs at 60C so was wonder what else I could get out of it without any real risk. The voltage is the stock 1.2 volts the card came at.

Thanks for any advice

Core will have the most impact, overclock the core first and find your highest stable OC then your memory.
Sure somebody will be along who has one and OC`ed it who can give you some settings to try, Max volts ECT

Thanks for your reply. I guessed that was how it worked but needed to be sure

As said, core is most effective, but if you're happy with performance, don't overclock it!

To be honest I am happy enough with the performance and just wondered if it would go much higher without any real risk.
