Does it produce more fps?
Or better graphics? I have a gtx 750 1gb and I want to make it a 2gb to make it more future proof. Is there a way to do this through overclocking?
 
Solution
Overclocking does not increase the Vram amount. Overclocking increases the speed of the memory and the speed of the graphics processor. With a budget gpu that you have i would strongly recommend not overclocking it

It basically makes your GPU run at a higher clock speed than specified on the box or packaging.

it will make your games run faster, but at the expense of higher temperature.

and no you cannot make your 1gb card 2 gb with overclocking.
 


I meant any processor - CPU, GPU, whatever. You can overclock a calculator if you want. And RAM is part of all that. Overclocking boils down to adjusting speed. That's really all it is. Granted, there is a lot to it. But the "what is it" question has a very short answer.
