Hi there, since i'm stuck with my current PC for a while i taught i'd try to overclock my processor. I overclocked my graphics card but all i got was 2 fps extra, it wasn't worth it, so i reverted to stock. I don't really want to increase my gaming performance since i can run most games max at 30fps (locked), i just want to increase my video editing performance. Since i record my gameplay the videos are huge and i have to edit it with cyberlink powerdirector, but it just moves really slow.. Would overclocking my CPU fix this? If so, are there any good overclocking software besides AMD Overdrive? (It doesn't work) It's an AMD Athlon X2 245 btw. Thanks to anyone who can help :)

OC was able to increase the ability for video editing, but need to see the software used, vegas / adobe premire / Power director / ect, every software has a different acceleration, there is a CPU and GPU are some even do both

- sony vegas pro 11 will use GPU video editing software has GPU-accelerated
- Vegas 9 uses only the CPu for rendering.
- Premiere Pro uses the GPU for some effects the video preview
- After Effect use GPU
- Power director 7-8-9 use CPU (90%) and if ran with richvideo hasGPU-accelerated
- Edius use CPU
all that from my experience using powerdircetor 7/8/9, Magix video pro, after effects 😀
