1. Download RivaTuner if you have an nVidia card or ATITool if you have a ATi card
2. Install them (obviously)
3. Open up any temperature monitoring programs (if you have any) to monitor temperatures of your GPU/Overall
4. FOR ATI: Launch ATITool you should see two sliders, one is labeled Core and one is labeled Memory. Slide the sliders up at 5mhz increments for Core and 10-20 mhz increments for Memory. I suggest moving up the Core 15mhz and the Memory 40mhz for now. Click the SCAN FOR ARTIFACTS button and let it run for about 10 minutes and see if there are any artifacts (AKA anomalies AKA things that are not normal) If there aren’t, keep going at 5mhz and 15mhz increments and scanning for artifacts. If there are artifacts already, your cooling/power supply unit/video card sucks and you need to reset the speeds back to default
5. For nVidia cards, launch Rivatuner and start increasing the clock speeds. At every 20mhz or so test for artifacts by launching a game and then playing it for some time or something similar.
6. ONCE YOU SEE ARTIFACTS, put your clocks down 10mhz or so and that’s probably your limit. For now.
