Tom's Hardware shows us how to overclock an MSI Geforce 8600 GTS Diamond Plus graphics card by increasing pixel shader clock speeds through the card's BIOS.
"While graphics drivers and third-party utilities allow you to overclock your graphics card's GPU and memory, pixel shader clock speeds can only be increased through the card's BIOS. These settings are permanent and independent of the graphics driver, and the process is easily reversible." [Overclock Your Graphics Card in 5 Minutes | Tom's Hardware]
Things needed:
- Nibitor 3.5
- Nvflash 5.5
- DOS floppy/CD-ROM, or USB stick
Important Note: When modifying the graphics card's BIOS, incorrect settings or a failed / aborted flash process may damage your card and will almost certainly void your warranty.
The result was a nice 9.5% performance increase in Oblivion (from 13.7 fps to 15fps, 1600x1200).
