My VERY first overclock ever.

Twigglish · 06-06-09, 02:17 PM

I kinda cheated :P I used ATI's Overdrive to change my 2600xt.
But it is my very first.

Old: 800MHz(GPU)/700MHz(MEM)
New: 900/1050

Now if you asked me to explain it to you I would be lost. I DO notice about ~~10 more FPS~~ in F.E.A.R. though. (more like 5-8)
From what I read, nobody can really get it too much higher than this. Some think it's due to the drivers.

awesome! and CCC overdrive isnt cheating thats pretty much the only way to oc a video card unless you want to use another tool like rivatuner...you should try oc'ing your cpu isnt all that hard...

im sure you can take that cpu to 3.0-3.2 atleast set it at stock volts and see how high it goes man just start ramping up the fsb and leave the ram at stock for now while you try to find the highest oc

I would be very satisfied with 3.0. I'll start looking into it though.
