Overclocking is more popular than ever. And since it's so easy to boost the frequency of your Intel processor, it would be a shame not to. But CPUs aren't the only components that can be overclocked. The GPUs on graphics cards can also be speeded up, and so can their memory. And since an affordable card only differs from more expensive ones in its clock speed, overclocking can be your key to some real savings.
Overclocking a GPU is a less common process than overclocking a CPU, and above all, it's more complex. One of the reasons for that is that a graphics card's BIOS is not as easily accessible as a motherboard's. This article will shed some light on the different methods that can be used and the results you can expect when overclocking your graphics card.
It's time to add two more games to your library for free from the Epic Games Store.
GSC Game World has shared a new gorgeous trailer of STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, as well as a few screenshots.
Thank you Xbox for saving this game from development Hell.
This is what contributing to gaming looks like.
Keep doing this. THIS is good for competition. *This* is good for all gamers, regardless of platform.
"The Jyväskylä-based (Finland) indie games developer Act Normal Games today announced with great delight and thrill that their isometric post-apocalyptic point-and-click adventure “Rauniot“, is now available PC (via Steam, GOG, and GMG." - Jonas Ek, TGG.

That's quite false.
If that were true. Then why would I buy a Radeon HD 3870 clocked at 800mhz, instead of the Radeon 3450 clocked at 800mhz?
Because the more expensive the card, the better features it has. Clockspeed has almost nothing to do with it.
The more expensive cards have more pixel pipelines/stream processing units, higher memory bitrate, more memory usually, a kind that can be pushed faster.
Also, "Architecture" is a main part of it to.
Why do you think that while Nvidia's graphics cards are clocked lower.. They still seem to beat ATI's cards in benchmarks?
It's because Nvidia has a better processing architecture.
Simply overclocking your card will almost never bring you the kind of gain that buying a better card would. Cause clock frequency is a VERY small part of the differences between cards.
We need more articles like these "How to"
websites that have like 1-3 paragraphs on a page and have the gall to spread that info into like 5+ pages (all with 1-3 paragraphs on them)
if you took the time to break the info down into so many pages with just a few paragraphs and 2 or 3 pics, why can't you just half the number of pages and double the amount of content?
not that i am complaining about the extra clicking, its visually annoying, time consuming, and just plain dumb.
