Does OC (overclock) really increase hashrate?

Hi,

I want to know a GPU with OC is better than without OC in mining?

Of course... But it depends on what card you have since some need core overclock and some need memory overclock to increase hashrate.

Yes

Overclocking will obviously increase the hashrate, but it also makes the card work harder for that increase. Resulting in more power consumption, heat and decreased stability if over done. The better question is if overclocking is more profitable and at what point does it decrease mining efficiency. Most would agree the highest efficiency is reached at a point where the card is stable and any further increase is not producing any substantial benefit when the other factors are taken in to account.
