How can I O.C. my GPU?

Except that you spend a whole lot of extra money on the APU... and then on a dGPU... You might as well just get a G3258 and spend all the money you saved on a proper GPU...

Played CoD4 for two years on an 8500GT, was getting ~50 FPS at 840x525

g3258 would struggle to play anything other than older games.
considering you get a more than capable apu for the same price,(hell even a crappy E350 SoC can play TF2)... its really stupid to go intel on a budget.

and 840x525? mate thats not even CRT territory. even my phone has 1280x720p and better GPU than that lol.

i know many people dont have money to buy shiny new hardware, i am myself like that... but when you just said you "played" CoD4 on 840x525... you just made a complete fool of yourself.

A G3258 should be fast enough to play many modern games as it is probably as fast as the late Core 2 Quads. And, as you say, depending on how tight the budget is, an APU offers much more bang per buck up to a certain point and is certainly more capable than a G3258 (at least in multithread scenarios).

It puts into perspective how underpowered an 8500GT is in comparison to even the lowest end modern hardware.

There was a guy on reddit running BF4 quite happily on a G3258 and a 780Ti a few months back. On ultra 1080p he was getting ~65-70 FPS, only a slight drop from what a 4770k can do. Several guys on OCN were testing a G3258 in several new games, BF4 included, and none of them ran particularly worse than with a 4770k.

The fact is that, even without HT, running anything under ~10 threads on one CPU core, does not reduce the efficiency of the core by any significant amount. The time it takes to switch between threads is very low. The fact that the per core performance is around twice that of the current APUs means that unless you are running an absurd (20+) amount of taxing threads, the QUAD CORE APUs are equal at best.

I'll find some graphs and stuff later.

But, the fact is that a G3258 and an inexpensive H81 board that can overclock it, are not significantly worse in modern games, and WAAAAAYY better in older games due to straight up single thread performance.

Well there is no real point debating what would be the most suitable, as the OP hasn't said anything like, "build me the best PC under $500", or something to that tune.

GorbazTheDragon · Sep 26, 2014

Still no point in saying that the G3258 is irrelevant...

I'm successfully OverClocked my GPU! 400 MHz to 450 MHz!

GorbazTheDragon · Sep 27, 2014

Cool, what did you use? How are your temperatures?

Very Nice! Since you say you mostly play TF2, are you seeing more fps? And what program did you use to overclock it?

My temps are always 41. Because i have got a 80 mm fan running @2300 RPM. I used msi afterburner. My FPS incerased very much. 20 to 27 fps.

GorbazTheDragon · Sep 27, 2014

Ok, so I'd think you can get it to around 650-700MHz without any trouble. While running some stress test, just keep (slowly) turning up the clock speed until it crashes, then back off ~30MHz from what it first crashed at.

Tuna Yücer · Sep 27, 2014

In msi afterburner, I have got a limit. My limit is 520 MHz. When i set to 500 MHz, i saw some glitches on screen.

GorbazTheDragon · Sep 27, 2014

OK.

Personally I'd still suggest using nvidia inspector. It is a lighter program, and in my experience has been less buggy with old/unusual hardware.

My friend.
Start saving and build a new pc.
Anything would be better than that.
The OC would be such a minimal improvement that it wouldn't help like at all.
