overclocking GTS 250

[PruritusAni]

I finally changed the heatsink of my video card and shaved 20 degrees right off. It never goes above 50 degrees Celsius now and I think the time has come to overclock this thing. Unfortunately I have no idea how one goes about overclocking their video card. Anyone have any suggestions on how one might go about this?

 

BTWs:

1. I'm using OCCT's VGA test on Full Screen 1600X900 (maximum for my monitor) with a shader complexity of 2 to heat up my vga as it does a better job than Furmark.

2. The heatsink is a Thermalright T-Rad 2 and is pretty awesome.

Rivatuner 2.24c

 

Also, don't forget to use the 196.34 Vista/Win 7 64-bit drivers.

Thanks for the prompt advice. Using RivaTuner my video card has gotten considerably "furrier" (as in its furmark score has improved). Now I must get this thing folding at once and see if the PPD improves. :thumbs-up:

If you want a more simple OC'n utility EVGA Precision Tool and MSI Afterburner are too good alternatives to!

Thanks for the additional advice, but riva tuner seemed to have done the trick, my GTS 250 is folding now as if it were a 260 (like 6300ish PPD)

Now I just need to get like 311947374 more of these 250s and catch up to Road Runner (in like a few years ).
