hi i have this graphics card http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-681.shtml and was wondering if i can get some help oc it im new to overclocking thanks to all that help me threw this process.
It's not exactly rocket science, but needs some patience.
Get a software that can overclock, MSI afterburner for example(not sure if HIS has OC software).
Then slowly start raising the core and memory clock, do stress tests to test if these clocks are stable.
Also, not sure if this card has unlocked voltage control, if it does, then at some point the clocks wont be stable anymore, then you can raise the voltage a bit.
Also you should look out for temperatures.
You're going to need 2 tools to start. First, an overclocking tool. You have the choice of HIS' iTurbo software, MSI Afterburner, or AMD's Overdrive in the Catalyst Control Center.
The second tool you need is a stress test, which I'd recommend Furmark. There are others, such a MSI Kombuster, but I just prefer Furmark.
The third tool I use, which is optional, is GPU-z, and I mainly use that to confirm my overclock, temperatures, loads, and make logs.
Since you're new to GPU overclocking, start off with AMD's Overdrive utility. They have an auto-OC function, and you can use that to get a starting point. You can just pick an arbitrary one that isn't too extreme to start off with, such as 1050. Once you have a starting point, make a 10 minute run of FurMark, and carefully watch temperatures and the picture being rendered. You're going to want to look for abnormalities, called artifacts, which can take the form of discoloration, visual spikes, or little white dots, which I call "snow flakes."
If you see such artifacts, the OC isn't stable, and you should dial down the clocks. Another sign of instability is driver crashes.
If it passes, with acceptable temps (keeping it under 75 would be ideal, but 80 is generally a max), and no artifacts, then bump the speed by a small increment, 10-15MHz. Run another stress test. Repeat until it either you're at a speed you're happy with, or the card does start to artifact. Again, if it artifacts, dial down the clocks, and confirm it's stable.
Once you're confident in OCing, you do have another option when the card artifacts, which is to increase voltage. This does raise temperatures rather quickly, and has the potential to damage the card. You're likely going to have to use MSI Afterburner if you want to tweak voltage.
thanks yea his has a oc software
seems complicated lol his has oc software is it possible i can get your steam name? seems like u no what u r doing
What Jerm1027 just explained to you is no different from any other decent GPU overclocking guide, it's pretty simple, you get an overclocking utility and ramp the numbers up a bit.
Then you get an stress test (putting the GPU at full load to see how it behaves on a worst case scenario). If you get artifacts (things that are not supposed to be on the image) or any other trouble at all just put down the numbers a bit or try setting up the voltage.
This whole process is long and you will need to be patient until you find suitable speeds and stability. At the end, GPU-Z can confirm how things are now, temperatures, etc.
thanks alot

for a starting oc you could try 1100 core and 1200 mem in amd overdrive then there is nothing to install
