Overclock no fps increase

[oscarduran10 3]

So i went in to bios and change the clock from 40 to 45 i checked hwmonitor to see that i was running at 4.5ghz and i was then i went into prepar3d and notice i didnt get a fps increase the only thing that increase was my minimum fps by like 3 or 4 but the average fps still stayed the same. Is my overclock unstable or what is it?

It's not a huge increase from 4 to 4.5. You would see better frames at 5 ghz

Either that or you are GPU limited. Reset display settings etc back to default and start adjusting stuff one slider at a time til you start loosing FPS

As long as the RAM and graphics card can keep up with the CPU, frame rates and CPU speed are pretty much linear.  You increased the CPU speed by 12.5% so you will see approximately a 12.5% improvement in fps.  Since you lock your fps at 30, the biggest improvement you will see will be an increase in the minimum fps, which will translate to a slight increase in the average fps.
