Can i overclock?

[Forrestor]

Hey guys, just wondering if I can overclock my new card. My specs: Gpu GTX 660, CPU is AMD A6-3600 APU with Raedon(tm) HD Graphics, 6 GB of ram. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You definitely can overclock your new GPU. Which GPU brand is it? Eg. Asus, MSi, EVGA? For MSi, use Afterburner, EVGA: Precision X, and so on.

Yes, and the 660s OC pretty well

I'm not entirely sure how to check which one it is. I think it's ASUS. Is there any way I could check just to be sure?

Should have a label or labels on it

It says ASUS directCUII

You're in luck Asus make good quality products. Use Asus GPU Tweak and start slowly increasing the core clock and memory shader clock (figure out the ratio by this equation: Stock Memory clock/core clock) and continually run a stress test (Try MSi Kombustor, its the best one I know of) and follow this guide to figure out the basics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkJez9Og7fc

Awesome thank you so much! I've been playing SWTOR alot lately and have been trying to get decent FPS while fighting against other players. I looked up solutions to this problem and I read that it is very CPU demanding. Is there any way I can boost my CPU? I know it's older but i want to get the most out of it.
