Hi,

I have never overclocked a graphics card before so i was wondering if someone could give me some how to's here's my system:


Motherboard A7N8X Deluxe
Processor AMD ATHLON 2500+ (1.83GHZ) 512K Cache Memory 2 sticks of 512MB 333MHZ Apacer 333MHZ
Hard Drive 120GB 7200RPM 8MB Cache SEAGATE
Graphics Card EVGA GEFORCE FX 5200 ULTRA
 
Pop over to www.guru3d.com, and download nVhardpage. It will activate the coolbits registry hack, and give you some other options to play with.

Once installed, go to your advanced display settings, there should be an Overclocking tab now, allowing you to adjust the memory and core clock speeds. Increase them by no more than 5MHz a time, testing inbetween, using a graphics benchmarking program, like 3DMark2001SE (3DMark2003 will run, but very poorly on an FX5200), looking for artifacts or other glitches.
