Performing an overclock on the integrated graphics of an i7 8700k processor
Performing an overclock on the integrated graphics of an i7 8700k processor
Two weeks ago I finished building my first rig but I'm still missing a GPU since I decided to wait for either a good 1080 deal or the rtx 2070(with a reasonable price tag, which currently looks unlikely to happen)
In the meantime I rely on the onboard graphics of my i7 8700k to play less demanding games like lol or overwatch. While the performance is alright I would like to improve it if possible. I read several threads that said that overclocking the onboard graphics is possible, but I couldnt find any further information on the topic. My question is what do I have to do to get the best performance on the onboard graphics?
Thanks in advance!
My rig is:
i7-8700k @3.7Ghz
750w PSU
16gb cl16 3200Mhz RAM
250gb M.2 SSD
2TB HDD
ASUS STRIX Z370-E Gaming M/B
NZXT Kraken X62
NZXT S340
The post discusses the possibility of overclocking Intel HD graphics on PCs.
Thank you for the link, but I'm still facing some issues. The thread recommended using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility for overclocking, but I haven't been able to significantly boost performance. Changing the ratio limit from 12 to 14 caused the system to crash once I opened a game, and raising the voltage didn't improve things at all (it stayed at 1.3).
