I change these two simple settings on my GPU to unlock better performance

With GPU prices still sitting well above their respective MSRPs, squeezing out every last bit of performance out of your current card can make the wait for your next upgrade a lot more tolerable. Overclocking is the usual process for doing so, but it can be an intimidating process for some. It depends on the workload, but it can also be tough to see tangible performance benefits if you don't have much headroom to begin with. There are a couple of easy, relatively risk-free settings that anyone can tweak though, and all it takes is a quick drag of two sliders to give your GPU a little more power to work with.
