1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:06,520
this is going to be a quick overclocking guide well not really guide just an

2
00:00:03,679 --> 00:00:13,000
overclocking result video for the GeForce GTS 450 Cyclone from MSI so I

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:21,240
have dialed in my final overclock on the GPU so I've got 942 MHz on the core

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:23,240
2.22 GHz on the RAM and the Shader with

5
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:27,519
all firmy architectures is locked to the core at this time I have maxed out the

6
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:34,079
voltage but you can see my temperatures are still well within reason at about 60

7
00:00:30,119 --> 00:00:35,840
° with uh 64% fan speed which isn't too

8
00:00:34,079 --> 00:00:39,600
loud really considering that the GPU is under full

9
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:43,120
load so I'm just going to do some performance benchmarks and then at the

10
00:00:41,079 --> 00:00:48,199
end of this video you'll see What GPU artifacting looks like in a very extreme

11
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:50,640
example of uh me pushing it a little bit too

12
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:57,000
far here's my default score with the GTS

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,519
450 Cyclone from MSI now bear in mind

14
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:04,720
this is going to be a little bit higher than what we'd get with a stock clocked

15
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:06,799
GTS 450 because the Cyclone OC which I

16
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:13,040
didn't mention before it is an OC card is stock overclocked so uh there you go

17
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:17,080
there's our Baseline and I'll be back

18
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:19,159
with the overclocked performance in a

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,799
moment so you can see here with my overclocking profile which I actually

20
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:27,079
did have to adjust slightly since I did that last shot the RAM was not it was

21
00:01:25,119 --> 00:01:31,040
stable in fir Mark but it was not quite stable in 3D Mark Vantage I was getting

22
00:01:28,759 --> 00:01:36,799
some artifacts so my final overclock ended up being 942 MHz on the core 2.2

23
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:41,000
GHz on the RAM so you can see with that overclock we managed to get a pretty

24
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:44,520
sizable increase in our Vantage score and uh I guess that pretty much

25
00:01:42,479 --> 00:01:49,880
concludes my overclocking results for the MSI GeForce

26
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:54,439
gts450 Cyclone well this is probably the

27
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:59,560
funkiest example of artifacting I've ever seen I'm working on my overclocking

28
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:03,960
guide I guess I'll just uh throw this video at the end of the overclocking

29
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:09,200
guide but uh I turned up the memory clock to 2.3 GHz and even turning it

30
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:14,560
back down didn't fix it but I just wanted to show you guys this is a fairly

31
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,239
extreme example of what uh artifacting

32
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:20,800
can look like you can vaguely see the ring from furmark spinning sometimes in

33
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:26,720
the background but other than that the screen is basically gibberish now odds

34
00:02:24,879 --> 00:02:31,120
are excellent I haven't damaged the card you can see I've set it back to what I

35
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:38,360
know is a safe setting so I've still got the core cranked up and I've still got

36
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:40,319
the uh memory clock at 2.25 GHz actually

37
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:44,360
it was stable a little higher than that so we can try one more setting anyway

38
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,920
this is just part of the process and uh sometimes you get some pretty

39
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,239
spectacular fireworks displays when you're overclocking a graphics card
