Overclocking question

I'm pretty new to overclocking and I have a question. If you have already overclocked the FSB on your motherboard, then why bother to oc your graphics card? Isn't the FSP overclocking already doing that for you? Thanks.

System Specs

Nope- OC the video card too. OC'ing the fsb just increases the rate at which the video card "talks" to the cpu and mem if the AGP bus is OC'ed at the same rate as the fsb... It really doesn't do much of anything for the performance of your videocard itself.

You should actually try to keep the agp bus at as close to default as you can. When you OC the video card, you speed up the GPU and Memory of the video card.
