00:00:00.359 --> 00:00:06.520
this is going to be a quick overclocking guide well not really guide just an

00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:13.000
overclocking result video for the GeForce GTS 450 Cyclone from MSI so I

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

00:00:17.880 --> 00:00:23.240
2.22 GHz on the RAM and the Shader with

00:00:21.240 --> 00:00:27.519
all firmy architectures is locked to the core at this time I have maxed out the

00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:34.079
voltage but you can see my temperatures are still well within reason at about 60

00:00:30.119 --> 00:00:35.840
° with uh 64% fan speed which isn't too

00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:39.600
loud really considering that the GPU is under full

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:43.120
load so I'm just going to do some performance benchmarks and then at the

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:48.199
end of this video you'll see What GPU artifacting looks like in a very extreme

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.640
example of uh me pushing it a little bit too

00:00:50.800 --> 00:00:57.000
far here's my default score with the GTS

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:58.519
450 Cyclone from MSI now bear in mind

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

00:01:00.519 --> 00:01:06.799
GTS 450 because the Cyclone OC which I

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

00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:17.080
there's our Baseline and I'll be back

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.159
with the overclocked performance in a

00:01:17.080 --> 00:01:22.799
moment so you can see here with my overclocking profile which I actually

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

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

00:01:28.759 --> 00:01:36.799
some artifacts so my final overclock ended up being 942 MHz on the core 2.2

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

00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:44.520
sizable increase in our Vantage score and uh I guess that pretty much

00:01:42.479 --> 00:01:49.880
concludes my overclocking results for the MSI GeForce

00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:54.439
gts450 Cyclone well this is probably the

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:59.560
funkiest example of artifacting I've ever seen I'm working on my overclocking

00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:03.960
guide I guess I'll just uh throw this video at the end of the overclocking

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

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

00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:16.239
extreme example of what uh artifacting

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:20.800
can look like you can vaguely see the ring from furmark spinning sometimes in

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:26.720
the background but other than that the screen is basically gibberish now odds

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

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

00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:40.319
the uh memory clock at 2.25 GHz actually

00:02:38.360 --> 00:02:44.360
it was stable a little higher than that so we can try one more setting anyway

00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:46.920
this is just part of the process and uh sometimes you get some pretty

00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:51.239
spectacular fireworks displays when you're overclocking a graphics card
