Hey, I was talking to someone online and he was telling me my graphic's card was the bottleneck in my system.

Anyways, if I overclock my video card, or my processor a bit will there be much of a difference?

I set my graphics card core to 1ghz from 900mhz and FPS in CS:S went up like 5FPS. Personally I don't think 5FPS is worth shortening the lifespan of my video card..

I'm not against overclocking, I just don't want to do it for a minimal improvement..

<specs in sig>
 
The MSI 6600 GT Stock settings are supposed to be 500/500 (For an advertised 500/1000)

Thats got to be your memory speed... Not COre... and 1Ghz is Stock for the memory

Boost your Core speed....

Or dont..... If a few frames per second isnt worth it to you they why are you worried abot it? DOes the game run smooth enough for you?
 
Sometimes in water action frames drop to like 40FPS.

I'm just wondering if the video card is actually a bottleneck, and if some overclocking to it will "remove" the bottleneck.
 
I don't think your video card is a bottleneck to your system. I think your system is pretty much even. btw, have you OC'ed your cpu?

Nah, not yet. I am trying to go the non-oc way, but I am missing my old overclocking self.. I will probably mess around with it a bit when I get time.
