New Graphics Card

Options
Just bought this http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B008BEYO4U/ref=asc_df_B008BEYO4U11461618?smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&!!!!!googlecouk06-21&linkCode=asn&creative=22206&creativeASIN=B008BEYO4U

Fitted it and its working. Was just wondering if i should tweak any settings.
At the moment the GPU clock is on 810, and the Memory clock is on 1200. This is the default settings. Should i be upping these?

    Not really any point tweaking any settings, you have the basic/most stripped down version from the latest generation (600 series) that'll be more than suitable for everyday computing but just don't plan on doing any gaming with it.

    If you were after more powerful 3d graphics capability you should be shooting for at least a mid-ranged graphics card or maybe a mid-high end card from a recent/non-current generation (eg x60, x70 or x80 from the 400 series or 200 series) you could even consider second hand if you're really pushed for cash and happy to take the risk.

    I got this as my, old 8300gs gave up the ghost and the 610 was the best I could get without upping the PSU.
    I don't really play many games, maybe fsx and company of hero type games which its running pretty good.
