Overclocking the CPU can improve game performance by allowing it to run at higher speeds, which often translates to better frame rates. This happens because faster processing can handle more calculations per second, making the game run smoother or faster. However, it's important to note that this effect depends on the specific game and system configuration.

The only situation where overclocking a CPU results in more frames is when the game is limited by the CPU, meaning the CPU is fully used while the GPU isn't. This creates a bottleneck. The idea is that the CPU can send data to the GPU more quickly, boosting its usage and thus increasing frame rates, though the gain is generally modest.

The only situation where overclocking a CPU results in more frames is when the game is CPU-bound, meaning the CPU is fully utilized while the GPU isn't. This creates a bottleneck. The idea is that the CPU can send data to the GPU more quickly, boosting its usage and thus increasing frame rates, though the gain is generally limited.
