I've done it before. You can get better frame rates without using any of the usual tools avail. from nvidia or ati or others to overclock your card. . I never saw how far I could push it though. Didn't want to ruin my gpu. Start with 101 and work your way up, 1 at a time. Your risk.

No real point to doing this if you don't have a very good gpu...if you had a top of the line card then it might make a small difference but maybe not even then.

Doing this will likely make your system unstable pretty quick

So in short, don't bother

so I'm guessing the same applies to pci-e overvolting? (option in gigabyte bios)

Big risk small reward?
