Graphic Core Clock Speed

[Larkina]

 I'm just curious about how to increase the core clocking speed on my system. I'm currently using a Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4  V.1.3 motherboard and I was wanting to know exactly how would you go about setting the core clock speed? My video card is overclocked from the factory. It's a MSI GTX 670 Power Edition. Also I'm using an Intel i5 2500k processor which I have overclocked to run at 4.5Ghz.

Overclocking your video card? You need an overclocking tool. The most recommended tools for nvidia cards are MSI afterburner and EVGA Precision X.
However, overclocking will be limited to 110% power output I think. If you want to go beyond that, you can unlock your bios, increase voltage and max power output to 150% using a bios unlocker/editor.

I unlocked my GTX 660 with that and was able to overclock it to +120/+400 (core clock/memory clock) stable

You are absolutely correct najiro and I'm sorry but I have MSI Afterburner. I think what I'm after is setting the graphic core clock in the motherboard BIOS. There is an option on the Z68XP-UD4 motherboard for doing this or maybe this is an area best left alone. I was thinking I could squeeze some more performance out of my system by manually placing the value in this option.

Is it possible? I never heard of it before. gpu BIOS at desktop -> yes.. but at motherboard BIOS page.. I dunno...

It's in the BIOS setting called Graphic Core.
