How do I make my graphics card run faster than its speed limit?
You should leave this card alone because it already has 50% of all possible tests done by that website. They compare everything whether you are overclocking or not without telling you. You can try using MSI Afterburner, but do so at your own risk since I never recommend overclocking video cards to me because the specific model isn't listed here and chances are it already has a factory boost built in with very little room left. Maybe you could get 5 more frames per second, which is probably not worth risking your card for. Actually, it might be less than that and even result in zero FPS depending on what game or engine the processor runs at. This site is just a trash can for benchmarking; if I were testing, I would use PassMark instead.
Update your post to include full hardware specs and OS. Which specific questions or issues were not answered by the online guides you found? Overclocking needs a good power supply, the right wattage, and it depends on the motherboard first, then the CPU, GPU, or RAM. You also need a PSU with enough power.
The only thing that makes me want to do it is the userbenchmark test. My cpu, ram, and ssd are all running above what I expected. But the gpu is kind of mediocre compared to the rest. The website gives a guide on how to overclock my stuff, but I don't really need anything crazy or any fancy graphics rendering. I just game on this pc. Should I even try to overclock my gpu?
Just leave it alone. It's really bad at its job as a test site.
You should leave that card alone because there are too many tests compared to how many people own one, and you probably don't need to overclock your GPU anyway. You can try MSI Afterburner if you really want, but be careful—it's risky. I never recommend overclocking a video card because most cards already have an official boost speed built in, so there isn't much room left to push them further. Even if you get 5 or more frames per second, it usually isn't worth the danger to your hardware. In fact, sometimes games can only run at lower speeds depending on what they use for their graphics engine. Just like I said, that website is full of bad tests; instead, check PassMark for accurate results.
