It's not easy to answer the question whether volt-modification is
needed to survive when gaming requirements for hardware, in particular
video adapters, are getting tougher, or it is a way to squeeze more
potential from a video card to get more FPS in games. The video card
tested today has a performance level sufficient for all existent
games, that is why it matches the latter option. For low-level
solutions such modification is a way to get more FPS needed for
acceptable gameplay.
Volt-modification is an attempt to increase a video card's
overclocking potential by changing its internal working voltages
(memory, GPU, I/O circuits). But such attempt doesn't guarantee a
higher performance. This procedure is identical to changing CPU and
memory voltages from BIOS. One can resort to it if a given video card
doesn't provide such software means.
