Boosting gaming performance through overclocking modern GPUs can yield an FPS increase of approximately 5–15%. While the process is largely safe, users should be aware that doing so may void their warranty.
Overclocking has become easier, especially with tools available for various graphics cards. For AMD users, adjustments can be made directly in the Adrenalin software, while NVIDIA users often rely on third-party applications like MSI Afterburner. Those using Intel Arc also have access to similar features through their drivers.
Despite some misconceptions regarding the risks associated with overclocking, modern GPUs are equipped with safeguards that prevent severe damage. In most cases, if an overclocking attempt is overly aggressive, the system will crash before any harm occurs to the hardware. Users are encouraged to manage temperatures effectively by adjusting fan curves and power limits.
