I feel like I'm setting this up on a pitching tee in front of Barry Bonds to knock out of the park, but........ :p

I was wondering if anyone could tell me what "Core" and "Memory" are defined (refering to a videocard)? I figured I would be able to find something in a faq, but haven't found anything. I was looking to overclock my GPU and saw that the 2 tweaking factors are core and memory. I'd like to know what each does before blowing up my laptop. :)
 
Core - The frequency at which the GPU is at. (Mhz)
Memory - THe frequency at which your memory is running at :)

If you dont know what core and memory is... you shouldnt be messing with your settings..
Back to your barry bonds wordpicture.. to put it in the same terms.. "what is core/memory" = "what is baseball".
 
The core of your card is very touchy and should only be Upped in small amounts of 500mhz at a time or so. However your memory can overclock much higher, making it possible to increase the memory in 1ghz increments.

You have GOT to be shittin me.
 
core is that hot warm thing in the middle of the earth
and memory is that stuff you use in your brain to remember useless crap
 
haha agreed if you dont know what core and memory are you probly shouldnt be messing with the setting. but to answer your question the core clock is the speed the gpu is running at giving you more fill rate and the memory clock is how fast your memory is running the higher it is the more memory bandwith you get

Right there.
 
Hahaha, don't worry about it, I had surgery for a finger fracture 2 weeks ago. I was on vicodin for a week after as well. That was a very happy week for me. :)

I thought about that right after I posted :D
I hope no one believes that I was serious in my first post.
