    Hi,

    Just started more gaming these couple of days during the Year end holiday season, and was hoping to get a bit of better in-game performance from my m11xR2 purchased back in July.

    I have already OC'ed my CPU to 158, installed Throttlestop, and thurbo boost is enabled. Thinking to squuze out every last ounce of game performance from my trusty m11x which I had solely using as a development machine, I am hoping to OC the GPU too.

    Would be grateful if some suggestions as to what software to use, how to go about doing it, and at what settings for GPU OC stability. :)

    I use msi afterburner, i know evga has a program too thats pretty similar. Ive been using 580/1392/872. Its been pretty stable but i havent really looked around to see how far others have gotten.

    I use EVGA Precision and it also works fine. The program is really a matter of preference. I don't see one as functionally better than any other.

    If you wanted an idea of what kind of OC to expect, look through this thread: What's Your m11x GPU OC Settings?. However, GPU OCs tend to vary quite a bit with what speeds are stable.
