gtx 650 overclock

[Dhampire01]

Can I overclock my gigabyte geforce gtx 650 to match the performance of gtx 650 ti ?I currently have installed EVGA precision X

The 650 ti has twice as many shaders as the stock gtx 650. I do not think you can get a clock rate fast enough to catch up(Not that I have tried).

Chances are you could get close with a 1300-1400 + clock(and some good clocks on the memory), but it would depend on the game played for sure.

How much to overclock?

 

[nukemaster]

1300-1400 at least.

Do I need to change voltages too or something?
Or i just drag the bar to +300?

Most reviews I've read show that at a maximum overclock the GTX 650 will be about the performance of an HD 7770 or a tiny bit faster. In other words, still about 15% slower than a GTX 650 Ti.

If you have no experience overclocking you should not just drag sliders and hope for the best.

All cards clock differently, some may even need hardware mods and aftermarket cooling to get to the place you want to be.

As the above users says, close is still 15% give or take worse. Simply put one card has HALF the number of shaders. You may even burn a GTX 650 power system trying to clock to far

OK I am not willing to overclock that high.Can you at least tell me how to overclock this +300 as you said?Also will there be a performance difference then?

 

[nukemaster]

higher clocks perform better(and take more power and make more heat), you have NO guarantee that the card will get + 300. it may crash at +50 or may get to +350.

Overclocking is a game of slowly increasing the clocks and testing then increasing then testing and so on.

Tools like MSI afterburner are commonly used, but gigabyte may have a tool for the cards they sell as well.
