I've been somewhat of a PC enthusiast for a while and never actually tried out overclocking because I never saw the appeal to it. Just tried out overclocking and yknow what it's actually not half bad.
Managed to get anywhere from 15 – 20 extra frames on average areas, and anywhere from 8 to 10 extra frames in more intense areas in Cyberpunk 2077 at maxxed out settings.
Specs: RTX 5080, Ryzen 7 9800x3d (yes I know I'm boring shut up), 64gb of DDR5 cas30 6000mhz.
Overclock: +3000mhz Memory (that was as far as Afterburner would let me go), +425mhz Core Clock (Could probably hit to 450mhz and still be stable, but it's a good safe spot).
Not really super into overclocking, just trying it out for the first time so I don't know if that's actually good or not lmao.
I was able to hold 500mhz for a minute on my core clock before the game crashed, so I just pulled it back until it was stable and tested to make sure it was stable for about half an hour before I closed it out.
If anyone has any tips on how to push this further that'd be greatly appreciated!
P.S. Sorry about the images being stupidly compressed idk why it's like that.
Incase it's hard to read, the first image (overclocked) has an average FPS of 62, 53 lows, and 72 highs. Second one (Not overclocked) has an average of 54 FPS, 49 lows and 64 highs. Third is just a screenshot of afterburner with my settings lmao.
