Correct me if I'm wrong guys but overclocking a card won't change it's model no.

So if a game doesn't run, it still won't if you overclock the card?

If the card doesn't meet the minimum system requirements on the box then I very much doubt overclocking it will help.

Also I'd make sure you are running the latest drivers for your card before trying anything.

It may be because the FPS are to low, overclocking will help this a little
