If you're relying on the iGPU, upgrading to a separate graphics card will have the greatest impact. I think the APU doesn't support an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking will be restricted to a modest 100 MHz or less unless you start with a stable clock speed. Without a suitable board built for overclocking, you could damage the hardware faster than with a premium setup.

If you're still using the iGPU, installing a dedicated graphics card can have the greatest impact. I don't think the APU has an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking would be restricted to a few 100 MHz at best with the standard clock speed. Without a suitable board built for overclocking, you might damage the hardware sooner than with a premium setup.

I'm planning to get a GTX 750 Ti and have seen some YouTube users who successfully overclocked it and achieved solid performance.

Yes, the GPU can be overclocked. This differs from overclocking the APU itself.

Which 750 Ti model are you thinking about? What power supply do you have?

If you're still using the iGPU, installing a separate graphics card can yield the greatest improvement. I think the APU doesn't support an unlocked multiplier, so overclocking will be limited to a few 100 MHz at best. Without a suitable OC board, you might damage the hardware faster than with a premium setup.

I'm planning to get a GTX 750 Ti and have seen some YouTube videos showing people successfully overclocking it for better performance.

Yes, the GPU can definitely be overclocked. This differs from overclocking the APU itself.

Which 750 Ti model are you planning to purchase? What power supply do you have?

300W PSU and the 750 Ti without the 6-pin connector

This card works well with a 300W power supply and your APU. It's about the maximum you can use without needing a PSU upgrade.

That's a suitable card for your 300W PSU and APU. You can use it without upgrading the PSU. I'm getting this card mainly for playing Rust, and right now I'm running it at low settings around 20-30 FPS :/

The results will actually show a bigger boost than previously indicated, since your iGPU is operating with slower system RAM (DDR3) rather than the high-speed DDR5 VRAM found in a dedicated card.

The performance will surpass what is displayed, since your iGPU relies on slower system RAM (DDR3) rather than the high-speed DDR5 VRAM found in a dedicated card.
