I've got a video card GeForce 8600 Gt 256 mb in my pc. On one of the sites I read that it is possible to speed up its perfomance up and make it close to its cousin GeForce 8600 GTS 256 mb and thus save 50$ on a card. Therefore, if this rumor is true I would like to know how exactly i can do that (please provide step by step operation). In addition, I'd like to know what risk i take by doing it.
Thank you!|||yes, you can do this by overclocking the card, however this may damage the video card, you overclock by going into the computers bios(if you dont know what a bios is you should NOT be overclocking) and ajusting the performance of the PCI-Express video card you have.
Some video cards allow you to overclocking them from windows xp/vista, this will be special software included on the driver cd.
You should do a LOT of googling before you attempt this.|||Use nvidia ntune. You can download it from nvidia.com. Go to the performance section. It's very easy when using this program. The only thing is you'll have to redo it every time your restart your PC. If you wan to overclock and make sure it stays that way change the bios settings on your motherboard. When changing the bios settings up the settings in small increments. To much at one time can fry stuff. If your PC has a motherboard that doesn't have the overclock features then ntune is the only way.|||The term you are looking for is called overclocking. There are several utilities for this out on the internet but with that being said, I must give you a warning. Unless you are experienced with modding computer parts and clock speeds, I wouldn't suggest trying this. If you overclock too much or do it wrong, it'll overheat your GPU and make your card nothing more than a paperweight
