    Yeah, for $18 it was a no-brainer.

    Those weren't actual values, just showing what options my bios gives me.

    Bumping up the multiplier up works, but at max value is only 133 MHz higher than stock.

    How exactly, just bump each value up one or two digits?

    Best GPU for an old PC (ASRock X58 Extreme)?

    I've been having next to no luck overclocking. I'm admittedly not very experienced, but have read through a few guides on the X58. The most luck I've had was using the ASRock OC Tuner Windows app. If I change the CPU Multiplier to "TURBO" (which isn't an option in the BIOS), it'll bump the...

    Thanks for the insight and data! It sounds like a Xeon and something like the 3060 might be the way to go! GPU prices are still a little higher than I'd like, so I may hold off on that for now and evaluate what performance is like we the CPU upgrade first before deciding exactly which GPU to go...

    I have an ~10 year old system an am considering a GPU upgrade to allow for some modest more moderate gaming. It has an ASRock X58 Extreme motherboard, i7 920 CPU (mildly overclocked), 12 GB memory, and currently has a Radeon 7950. The mobo specs list: - 3 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots (blue @ x16...
