Increase GPU Voltage?

Ok, so I overclocked my GTS 250

STOCK:
Core: 738MHz
Shader: 1836MHz
Memory: 2200MHz

OVERCLOCK:
Core: 806MHz
Shader: 2005MHz
Memory: 2502MHz

Should I increase the voltage on it? If so, how? And if not when will I need to if I keep overclocking. I am new to the voltage so detailed responses would be nice.

Thanks

Hi, I have overcloccked my 8600 GTS successfully without increasing the voltage.
By the way, correct me if I'm wrong, but your overclock is not good because you lower memory speed...

Re: Increase GPU Voltage?

There are bios backing tools on the web but I wouldn't recommend this method. I am pretty sure you can tweak voltages through EVGA Precision but I have never used it myself.

Overclocking a graphics card is futile IMHO. I have done it in the past and I find a higher CPU clock always increases game performance much, much more than overclocking a GPU.

Good luck though.
