yep, a 430 is a no- go- for any overclocking benefits....

Best thing would be to save for a better card or lower your expectations....

To answer your question, no, you can't improve your cards performance, not without releasing the magic smoke...

Thank you very much, whatever that magic smoke is!

What I meant was, if you try to overclock it, it may cook before getting anywhere...

The 430 really isn't meant to be a gaming card, (neither is my 450, for that matter), but like yourself, I mostly play older games, and get good performance with some games. Others, such as Crysis 2 and the like, not so much. It really depends on the game, and the only way to ensure good performance in ALL games, is to spend $500 on a 680.
I've been pretty happy with the GTS450 I've been running since December 2010. All the racing games I play have playable framerates at the highest settings, even while running dual monitors. You could get a 550ti and more than double your current cards performance...

Im playing Mount&Blade Warband, with everything on HIGH, 1920x1080 with 90 ~ 100 fps.

The one that gives me problem is TESIV:Oblivion, everything high and 1920x1080 with 35 ~45 fps. (with 1024x768 it keeps at 60 fps as it is limits).

I dont know why you say GT430 is lowly or terrible chocie because im running quite new games (skyrim, 1024x768, witoht AA) with an very very good fps (something like 55-60) and thats good for me, as my country does not pay its workers properly and i cannot consider the choice of having another videocard by the time being for the facts of houses debt. And so then, the GT430 is quite an satisfaction.

What i really would like to know if is there someway to make the GT430 have an better performance.

What games are you playing that are giving you problems? And for what it's worth the GT430 is really a terrible choice for a gaming card. If you like to game, I'd suggest you try to pick up a GTX460 at the least, especially if you want to play at 1920x1080 with full settings. That is really not a realistic expectation from a lowly GT430 I'm afraid.

Hello guys!

So, i have an GT 430 and I like to play games, yes, but they are some kind of old..(2008 and below). That said, I have been playing a game of 2007 with full graphics (192x1080,HDR,etc etc) and it reallys gives me no problem. But, a game of 2006 i just cant take the resolution to the max because it have a big framerate drop(everything on full, though). I mean, i dont need to play it at hi-res, but i wish i could, and im question is the following:

How i can improve my GT 430 performance with ALL games?

Btw, my computer specs is:

8GB ram
Intel Core 2Duo 2.93GHZ

Thank you and have a good day.
