video card school ? do you actualy know

[mong_2]

i have the asus riva tnt 2 32meg tvr delux
yes it a fine card.
do you have to use a bigger fan and heat sink to over clock it and does it actualy make a difference.
could some one send me any picks of there video cards heat sinks.
what is actually the bonus of cranking up the memory speed and engine speed.
could someone alaborate.
is it worth putting heat sinks on me video memory. ?
or bigger fan and heat sink.
what does raising your video memory mghz do.
and
what does raising your video engine speed do.\

Overclocking your core and memory increases the speed and performance of your card, as a downside it increases the heat put out by your card and can make it unstable at higher speeds causing your computer to crash and sometimes even your video card to die

Video Card School - Level 101

By raising the clock rates of the video card, one can raise the performance level of their graphics subsystem. The core level is primarly responsible for fill rate performance. Fill rate is the number of pixles and/or textures a card can effectively draw within a certain period of time. The memory clock effects available bandwidth, which is of upmost concern. As fill rate dependancy increases, so does the demand for memory throughput. By upping the memory clock, the core processing unit can more efficiently handle texture and pixel transfers, thus leading to an increase in performance.

The largest drawback to overclocking is the generation of more heat. It is always recommended to use atleast a good 486 or larger fan blowing over the graphic card's factory heatsink. Other, more drastic options include replacing the factory cooling with an upgraded hs/fan combo, woater cooling, and even some use active peltier cooling.

Hope this helps,
