I think the higher your shader clock the better game performance you get, you may need some know how and research to get the shaders up but alot of volt mods help with this and experiment on what you can afford like a older Graphics Card to get more out of it when you need it. Volt mods are safer than bios mods but only if they don't cause a short in the circuit this is because you can unsolder it and reverse the effect.
