Hi guys, I'm a newbie at overclocking.
Lately I've found a software on my comp that's called "Gamer HUD Lite" .
I'm interested in utilizing this program.


I have a Gigabyte Geforce 9400gt
WIll there be any possibility of overclocking my graphics card till it surpasses the power of a 9500gt?

However, I'm really new at this.
If possibile, could any of you explain how will overclocking improve my gaming experience (etc. smoother or better graphic quality?? :s)
Or, link any threads that could answer my question, (I have tried reading the newbies thread but I haven't any clue of all the terms and where to begin etc etc).

Thanks!

Barely, the 9400GT isnt a powerful card to begin with. So with higher end games, at most u can expect 1-2FPS improvement. Anyway I'll give you the simplest method here

1. Download n install rivatuner and furmark
2. If you have the right driver installed, under forceware settings-->click the 1st icon that has a picture of a gfx card
3. This will open the OC page. Change the core n memory speed for 3D only, hit apply, and then run furmark for about 1 hour n see if the comp is stable
4. Keep increasing speed in small steps until your comp hangs. Then back down by around 10mhz on the core/shader n memory and use that as your main settings

Your temperature of the GC will go up, so keep an eye on that too. You're welcome to try this but imo your gains wont be much

How big is your heat sink?
Overclock it a little bit by a little bit, back down if it is not stable.
