Long story short: I have a gigabyte 7950; originally I intended to over clock it from the get go. I built the computer myself but had a ton of stability issues.

I’m past that but will O/C help Much in BF4 (primary game) or just cause more crashes ? It’s a large time investment from what I recall…

Depends on clock speeds. But research it. It helps but the card runs hotter.

Grahipics card is running at 1GHz (core clock) and 1250MHz on the memory clock.

Desktop Processors speed is 4GHz. 32 GBs of RAM.

I’m confident I have head room temp wise to overclock. It gets up to 60 when I benchmark the card (lower in BF4). the card should be able to go up to 75c before any concern…

Thanks for your response.

You shouldn’t be getting lag at all. But bf 4 is really resource intensive.
