I have a geforce 5600 non-ultra. I was thinking of overclocking it, but was not sure if it was safe. Would it be a good idea to overclock a graphics card like mine, and what would be a safe clock speed to overclock it to? How damaging to my graphics card will the overclocking be? Hope someone can reply soon.

THanks in advanced

50mhz on both Core and Memory. Any higher 'may' damage the card.

50 mhz? are you sure. Cos i'm sure that the card itself is already 300 something mhz, so won't making it 50 make it even slower?

I mean an increment of 50mhz. So if the default is, for example, 300mhz, put it up to 350 perhaps.

If anything goes wrong (such as artifacting) just put it down to 340.
