OC'ing a Geforce 9800GT

[Shining Wizard]

i have installed https://picclick.fr/XFX-NVIDIA-GeForce-9800-GT-PVT98GYDLU-512MB-DDR3-273603295324.html in dell inspiron 570 pc if anyone had experience with geforce 9800gt cards tell me the best stable clocks for this GPU by the way its regular 9800GT card but looks like green edition due to missing 6 pin connector i am not sure upon OC'ing it will be capable of pulling out extra power from PCI express 2.0 slot

Damn man! You'll have to mess with the volts.
Try:
Core: 630-640
Shader: 1550-1600
Mem: 1000-1100

what do you mean by volts i gonna use msi afterburner for that purpose...
Default : GPU 600 MHz
Mem 900 MHz
Shader 1500 MHz
now tell me how far can this gpu overclocked

I had absolutely no experience overclocking old GT9xxx GPUs, but overclocking this card surely not worth it. Why do you want to overclock it anyway?

As for Volts, you need to unlock it. By raising it, you are allowing GPU to producing high temperature resulting in more heat.

Then how to unlock the GPU voltages are you guys talking about overclocking in hardware if yes then i have no experience in hardware overclocking original gpu become faulty so i will give it to a repair personnel until then i want to play some casual games so i put 9800GT instead surprisingly its providing exceptional performance in GTA5 still wondering if overclocking would be much helpful the GPU itself does not seems to be ancient only the small amount of RAM (512MB) is holding the GPU back

Core voltage allow GPU to generate even more headroom than it typically offer at default voltage. However, it is always risky for people who are new or doesn't know a bit about how overclocking can be done. So I'd advise you to avoid doing it. As for gaming performance, overclock rather unstable the GPU in games. Generally, with 100 to 200 MHz overclocking, the FPS boost will not be more 4-5, that too comes with added bonus; Crashes, BSOD, reboots etc. . Therefore, risking your GPU for so little performance gain is mere stupidity.

I remember doing the GPU overclocking only for benchmarking purpose and never had done for gaming. Also, I'd recommend you to save some cash and get a better GPU so that you can enjoy the latest games.
