With the popularity of 22-inch monitors, playing Aion is bound to cause a great burden on the graphics card. Not to mention the full effect, even the simple play has become a problem. Does it mean that you have to spend a lot of money to remove the graphics card you just bought?
The most obvious solution is overclocking.
The following conditions are the best:
1. The graphics card has sufficient heat sink functions, such as dual fans, multi-tube heat pipes and other gorgeous casings; 2.
The most outstanding memory is 2G+, the most outstanding CPU is dual-core, and the power supply is above 350W ;
Have them all, OK, I will use my Zotac 9800GTX+ as an overclocking tutorial
Zotac’s GeForce 9800GTX+ debut commemorative graphics card is superior in terms of materials and radiators, but its core, stream processor, and graphics card still maintain the frequency of the public version 740Mhz/1836Mhz/2200Mhz, This shows that it has great overclocking capability. This article takes Zotac GeForce 9800GTX+ debut commemorative edition as an example to slowly teach you how to fully tap the overclocking potential of the graphics card.
As a home air-cooled (not absolute zero) overclocking graphics card, everyone should pay special attention to the temperature, because any hardware will generate more heat after the rated frequency is exceeded, and high temperature will greatly shorten the life of the graphics card. , so the temperature is also the first thing to pay special attention to when overclocking the graphics card. You can try to increase the frequency only after ensuring that the temperature is not too high.
Zotac GeForce 9800GTX+ Debut Commemorative Edition adopts the core of 55nm process, code-named G92-421-B1. Compared with the previous generation of 65NM products, the heat generation is much smaller, and the overclocking ability is also much better. However, this graphics card is equipped with a 4-pipe Twin Turbo radiator produced by Swiss AC. I believe that the core radiator cannot become the bottleneck of overclocking.
Usually, the graphics card frequency obtained by the display card manufacturer is much more aggressive than that obtained by the graphics card particle manufacturer. After checking the official website of Hynix, I found that the 8 modern chips prepared by Zotac GeForce 9800GTX+ can work at 2400Mhz. The frequency is lower, but in fact Zotac only chooses its frequency at 2200Mhz, because the frequency of 2400Mhz can be used as the overclocking reference point of the graphics card.
After entering the system, I mainly need to know the frequency and temperature of the current display card, which can be identified by the software GPU-Z.
The current display card usually has 3 frequencies, one is the core frequency, the other is the graphics card frequency, and the last one is the stream processor frequency. Through GPU-Z, I can quickly get Zotac’s GeForce 9800GTX+ graphics card. The core/graphics/stream processor frequencies are 740Mhz/1100Mhz (DDR3 2200Mhz)/1863Mhz respectively. Relatively low, suitable for overclocking.
Here I overclock the graphics card:
To adjust the frequency of the graphics card, I need a software called rivatuner, which can adjust the frequency of the graphics card core and graphics card, etc.
Install rivatuner, after installation, the system settings in the page global driver settings
At this time, the overclocking option of the graphics card will appear in front of you. Through the pictures, you can see the core frequency, stream processor frequency and graphics card frequency of the current graphics card. If you want to overclock, you can move the slider to adjust the desired frequency.
After moving the slider to the desired frequency, the frequency of the display card in the page application will increase at this time, but it can be detected in the GPU-Z software at the same time. Here I will use the core/graphics card/stream processor of Zotac GeForce 9800GTX+ display card The frequency is connected to 740Mhz/1200Mhz (DDR3 2200Mhz)/2000Mhz.
Finally, I will look at the performance changes before and after overclocking

The game also successfully jumped from 25 frames to about 60 frames.
