so there are different 16.12.2 updates?

I believe my gpu crashed yesterday actually because I (please don't judge me i'm an idiot) tried to tinker around with the AMD wattman to slightly overclock stuff for a fix... Damn you youtube guy. we had all the same pc specs so i figured it'd be cool. 

anyway. so i uninstalled all my amd drivers and just reinstalled early this morning. so now it showed 16.12.2 and all my games stopped crashing. but no even before that since i bought this pc (august 2016) games have not run 1080p even close to 60fps. it's been disappointing. 

No one is going to judge you for trying to improve your gaming experience, althought there are some professional reviews have a section detailing how they have overclocked the card, which can be used as another source of info.

Now, I have another question: does that pre build have enough ventilation? How many fans does it have? It's possible that the build has a reference/blower style card and, if the case doesn't have enough ventilation, it can get too hot and throttle, limiting its performance.

this is the exact pc that i bought for $650 on sale last year. for the price/performance ratio it didn't seem terrible at the time. 

Not sure if it has enough fans. but i have been checking temps; yet don't know that sweet spot it should be at for gaming. also the air mostly always is cool when i feel all around the pc.

 

Sorry forgot to post the link lmao
