Will overclocking CPU help improve supreme commander performance?

[ramalpan]

Hello, I play the rts game supreme commander every now and then. The game lags A LOT as you transition into lategame periods of each match and I was wondering if overclocking my cpu would help with that. I have always held off on that as I figured other people's cpus would be causing the problem, but I can't t help but wonder if making my cpu faster can compensate for the slower speeds of other's processors

What is your CPU and gpu usage when this lag happens?

What is you cpu and gpu? If you are going to overclock, will your laptop or desktop be able to handle the extra heat caused by this?

I have an i5 4670k and a gigabyte gtx 760 oc edition.

The graphics card usually isn't taxed but the cpu loads are quite high around 70-80% in the late game period. I do know that this game is very single core intensive (siince its older)

I am not an expert in this field but I would assume that it won't make that much difference as the cpu load will be the same.

If CPU load is 70-80% an OC wont make a difference? Are any of the cores at 100%, if no then something else is holding you back
