I just finished adjusting my Zotac Geforce 1650 OC to 4GB GDDR with an overclock setting of +159MHZ, which gave me a +5.4 FPS boost. I’m curious if further increasing the memory clock will bring even more performance improvements. Would it really make a difference?

Increasing the memory speed will also boost frame rates.

What I've learned and what others with more experience have shared is that overclocking the memory on a GPU won't provide much improvement, especially since my GPU has 4GB GDDR5, which is more than sufficient. Additionally, people have mentioned that GPU memory is quite sensitive, meaning mistakes could render your GPU ineffective.
