Most likely, you are familiar with such an expression as "margin of safety." This phrase applies to some basic computer components. A special program for overclocking a video card allows you to use the hidden potentials of a graphics adapter. However, in order to achieve the desired result, it is necessary to know how to do it correctly and what to fear in the process of graphic overlocking. What we want to share with you, dear reader.
The main question: is the game worth the candle

Programs for overclocking a Radeon video card work on the same principle as described above. All the same parameters and the same values. Nevertheless, probably, it will not be difficult for you to understand that with the "native" ATI application the "Radeon" chip will interact more correctly than in the "competitive arms" of specialized software. However, there are precedents in the face of third-party developers, but this is a topic for another article. Fruitful experiments to you and realistic graphics!
