It’s better to buy a graphic card that works to your satisfaction without overclocking. Why didn’t you buy the right card?

They probably are just wondering because of budget. I’d say they probably dont want to spend thousands on a crazy graphics card if they could potentially make a cheaper one work better with little consequences.

Maybe.

Overclocking your GPU can increase performance and frame rates, but it also raises the risk of instability and overheating. Ensure your cooling system is adequate and monitor temperatures closely. Use reliable tools like MSI Afterburner to make gradual adjustments and stress-test for stability. Be aware that overclocking may void your GPU warranty, so proceed carefully if you choose to do it.
