Necessary to OC w/ V-sync?

[shipinabottle]

Hi all. I am playing Assassin's Creed IV and I notice that turning on V-sync will cap the FPS to 30. I'm also slightly OCing my GTX 760 GPU. So, my question is: if V-sync caps everything at 30 fps, then is OCing my GPU even necessary?

(I want everything to run smoothly, and I don't mind the 30 fps if it stays a consistent 30 fps. The problem is, it doesn't; sometimes the fps drops down to 20fps.)

Normal v-sync caps at whatever your monitor runs at,60Mhz usually so 60 fps,30fps is the double v-sync,check your driver settings.
Well if you get drops even from 30fps than yes o/c will help a bit but then again games are often so badly written that you will get drops no matter what.

Use D3DOverrider to force Triple Buffering on. That way when it dips below 60 to say 50fps, it actually be 50fps and not the nearest "multiple" of 60 (which is 30fps). It's a common problem on a lot of games:-
