Radeon HD 4350 normal vs overclocled

[nishkmg]

I have a HD 4350 graphics card and that smoothly plays Far Cry 3 at low settings and no overclocked. I usually OC the GPU from 600MHz to 650MHz and Memory Clock from 400MHz to 525MHz. This shows an increased memory bandwidth in GPU-Z. While overclocking the same, I see no difference in performance of the game. This is the issue with Far Cry 3 only.

Moreover, sometimes my drivers crashes frequently.

P.S: Using Windows 8 Enterprise.

I'm honestly surprised that card runs Far Cry 3 at all. It was a low-end card when it came out 4 generations ago.

It seems that something is more severely bottlenecking the FPS in Far Cry 3 than the RAM/GPU which is why you're not seeing a performance increase. That or the performance is increasing, but by such a small amount that it isn't noticeable.

Drivers crashing generally means the card is failing for whatever reasons (overheating, power issues, etc). I think it's time for an upgrade.

Well Thanks Enverex, for taking time to reply.

I do agree that it is time to get an upgrade. Till then I am stuck with this gpu, and have to push the limits as possible. I am also considering GTX 650 under my available budget.

Although while overclocking the clocks, the change is noticeable in most of the games. This is the issue only with Far Cry 3.
