**Overclocking the Cheapest Graphics Card on Amazon: A Tale of Extreme Overclocking**

I decided to put my overclocking skills to the test with the cheapest graphics card on Amazon, the GT 710 Salmonela. I started by pushing its limits with a massive overclock of 45 gigahertz on the core. As you can see, it's not caught fire yet, but we're just at the desktop, so let's launch CS:GO and see if it's stable.

After launching the game, I noticed that the GPU was artifacting a bit, so I had to drop the core clock slightly to avoid any issues. However, as you can see, we're running at an impressive 1.4 gigahertz on the core. The temperature has also jumped up a bit, but that's not surprising given the significant voltage increase.

I discovered that voltages have a huge effect on temperature, which is why I'm always careful when overclocking. Before I show you just how much performance we gained from these overclocks, let me ask: "Just how much performance can we gain from this GPU?"

To answer my question, I added a fan to the graphics card and ghetto-rigged it to the Salmonela version of the GT 710. Now, with the new cooling configuration, I'm able to push the core frequency just a little bit higher.

As you can hear, the fan is quite loud now, but hopefully, this new cooling setup will give us a little more overclocking headroom. And indeed, it seems like we've gained an extra 13 megahertz on the core without any artifacting! That's still quite a lot of performance gain, and I think we're looking good.

Next, I wanted to see if I could push it to the limit further. After some experimentation with the Kepler BIOS editor, I found that I couldn't get more than 1.087 volts from this card. So, it seems like this is the maximum overclock we can get from our Super-Badass Overclocking method.

Now, I know what you're thinking: "What's next? Chuck Norris level overclocking?" Unfortunately, I'm not brave enough to attempt that level of overclocking without proper adult supervision. But I did manage to push the card to its limits and gain a significant performance boost.

To put this into perspective, we went from an average FPS of 33.8 on the stock-configured Salmonela GT 710 all the way up to 54.8 frames per second average! That's a pretty huge jump in my opinion.

If you're thinking of overclocking your own GPU at home, I would advise against trying to push it too hard. While we were able to gain some impressive performance gains from this card, there's always a risk of damaging the hardware.

So, there you have it – the cheapest graphics card on Amazon is actually a beast when it comes to overclocking. But remember: with great power comes great responsibility!

WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enit seems like you really like videos about cheap graphics cards so I decided to buy the cheapest graphics card on Amazon and see how much performance I can squeeze out of its little brain I'm actually pretty excited for this first things first we have to actually figure out what the cheapest graphics card on Amazon is now this seems very simple but it's actually surprisingly complicated because there are so many like weird fairly dodgy resellers when it comes to the lower end graphics cards on Amazon so I decided to put in a couple of criteria that a graphics card has to meet before I'm gonna buy it for this video now the first criteria is that I want the graphics card to be new because the second-hand cards on Amazon are a bit sketchy and some of them aren't even graphics cards they're just like video adapters if that makes any sense going further than that I actually want the reseller to be Amazon itself just so that we can cut down the chance of it being like a dodgy fake card and in the final criteria is that it shouldn't be like a refurbished version which there are quite a lot of refurbished cards actually being sold by Amazon itself now this is fairly boring but the graphics card that meets all of these criteria and is the cheapest graphics card on Amazon is actually an Nvidia GT 710 and I've done two videos on that graphics card before however it is a different version of the GT 710 it's a worse version which I'm not entirely sure why that exists the normal GT 710 is like food poisoning and then this version is like full-blown Salmonella basically in a less stupid way the difference between the two graphics cards is the one I did a video on before was the two gig version of the GT 710 and this is the one gig version of the GT 710 so it actually has half the frame buffer now it may be fairly boring that it's the salmonela version of the GT 710 that's the cheapest graphics card on Amazon but I'm gonna do some crazy overclocking things to it that I didn't do to the the food poisoning version so with that let's do a quick unboxing of the card and then we're gonna do some benchmarks and then start overclocking the living crap so here is the cheapest new graphics card that you can buy on Amazon and it comes in a box obviously let's open it up and see yeah there's not much in here it's literally just the graphics card and here it is what a beaut it really is a beast of a graphics card one thing that's fairly interesting about it is the fact that it's got an 8 x PCI Express slot its PCI Express 2 so it means that it doesn't have much bandwidth available but I mean it's a GT 710 that really doesn't matter as you can see here it's even smaller than the the 2 gig version of the GT 710 which means it'll be compatible with even more systems however who really cares about stupid practical things like that so let's try and overclock this thing until it catches on fire here we have the system that I'm gonna test the graphics card in all this the specs for those of you that are interested but one thing it's very important is because it's winter the ambient temperature in the room is very low and considering that there's very good airflow over the graphics card we're gonna have some pretty good temperatures for some heavy overclocking in order to test the performance difference between the various stages of overclock I'm going to use the built-in benchmark in csgo I know that this graphics card can handle it at low settings at 1080p unsurprisingly just like the normal GT 710 the salmonela version sucks a fat one for gaming so with the standard BIOS on this GT 710 I can overclock it by about 400 megahertz on the core and 300 megahertz on the memory which is very similar to the overclock I could get on the 2gig version of the card however we're gonna have to do some super badass level overclocking which involves flashing a new bios onto the graphics card to be able to overclock it any further the reason we need to do that is because the standard looser bios doesn't let you actually change the the voltage settings which means that I can't send more power to the GPU which it needs at higher clock speeds here we have the first stage of super badass overclocking so what I'm doing now is I'm installing a BIOS on here using software called NV flash this new BIOS allows a higher max voltage to the GPU so it means that more power can go to the graphics card for higher overclocks I just want to quickly say this is when overclocking becomes dangerous when you start sending more voltages than it's normally designed to handle to the GPU that's when things can catch on fire another thing that adds to the risk factor here is the BIOS that I'm using was altered by some guy on the internet and the only confirmation I have that this isn't going to make my graphics card commit harakiri is the fact that other people on the forum didn't shout at the guy here we have 1.45 gigahertz on the core which is a massive overclock on on this graphics card and as you can see it's not caught fire yet but we're just on the desktop so let's launch csgo and see if it's stable and if we have any artifacting it seems like we're fine I had to drop the core clock a little bit because it was artifacting a bit but as you can see here we're running at one almost 1.4

do is I'm gonna run the benchmark with this setting and see if we get any artifacting and if that is kind of the limit that we've got from this GPU that's still quite a lot that's pretty crazy it's more than a 50% overclocked so with that it actually let me just there we go that's super annoying okay so now that we've actually pushed it to the limit I wanted to see if I could push it a little bit further so I found something called the Kepler BIOS editor which is supposedly designed to edit the biases of a graphics card like the GT 710 and I tried various configurations in various ways of doing it and editing various different biases and I couldn't get more than one point one eight seven volts from this car so I guess that this is the maximum overclock we can get from the super badass overclocking method now the next step is the Chuck Norris level overclocking but the Chuck Norris level overclocking involves Seoul during a power delivery and external power delivery to this graphics card and knowing me the moment that I have to solder a bit of vrm to another bit of erm I'm definitely gonna either burn my house down or electrocute myself and considering the fact I don't have life insurance I don't know if that's the best idea yeah so I'm just gonna kind of leave it here so with that we need to see what kind of performance gains we got because I've been you know hiding the benchmarks so that you watch til the end of the video how very sneaky and you to burry of me but anyway this this is what we got and we actually got a pretty massive gain in performance from this GPU I would not recommend doing the vault overclocking because it may damage your cards so please don't do that at home but you can get a pretty significant bump in performance so we went from an average FPS of 33.8 on the stock configured salmonela GT 710 all the way up to fifty four point eight frames per second average that's a pretty huge jump in my opinion you're not going to be able to overclock an r/t X 20 atti to give you that much of a performance jump so it seems like the cheapest new graphics card on Amazon is a bit of a beast of an overclocker and with that it brings me to the end of this video now I know it's a bit disappointing that I didn't go all the way up to Chuck Norris level GPU overclocking but I think that's something that I need proper adult supervision for before I cut
