Frequently Asked Questions
Are Founders Edition GPUs better?
Nvidia claim that their Founders Edition GPUs provide ‘out-of-the-box performance’ due to their factory overclock. If this is something that you value in gaming then, it could be worth considering the Founders Edition, however ultimately the decision should be made on a case-by-case basis which model GPU is the best for you.
What does ‘overclocking’ mean in gaming?
Overclocking is the process of running a processor at faster rates than the factory settings. However, due to running the processor at higher rates than recommended, this can cause damage to the processor due to the higher temperatures involved.
