[jonnyp1993]

Soo...i got myself a xfx 7850 2gb.

Im thinking of clockingnit but how much performance would i gain ?

Games iv played so far are..

Splinter cell blacklist - runs fine at 1080 everything high.
Crysis warhead - at 720 on med - high settings but it does drag a little.
Bf3 on 1080 everything ultra - runs fine butndoes drag somtimes if theres a lot going on.

Load temp reached 66c.

System spec.
Fx6300 @ 4.1
Asus m5a97 le 2.0 board
8fb xms3 1600
Xfx 7850 2gb.

Just give it a try, should be able to get a 10% FPS improvement, just monitor your temps. I normally use the AMD CCC tool to increase power range to +20% then increase clock speed in MSI afterburner 10mhz at a time then Run the Heaven Benchmark test, keep raising the clock speed after each run monitor temps/until you see artifacts on the screen.

If you get too high temps/artifcacts drop the clock speed and test in Heaven again, Once you have found you highest clock speed do the same for the memory. Clocking the memory too high normally causes freezes.

Once you found the higest clock speed/memory frequency test by playing some games
