Well, I am pretty much a Noob on the OCing world and am looking for some help on how to squeeze some better performance out of my 9400GT 1GB (needless to say.. I know it's kinda' crappy but it's what I've got for now..) I have tried Riva Tuner and EVGA Precision and I have gotten some higher numbers than stock but NO noticeable improvement whatsoever while playing games like COD4,6 or Crysis. My system's Config is:
Celeron Dual Core E3200 2.4Ghz OC' 3.2Ghz
RAM 2.25GB / running at 444Mhz
GPU Nvidia 9400GT 1GB PCI-e
Stock Speeds are:
- 550 MHz GPU core
- 16 Processing Cores
- 400 MHz RAMDAC
Memory:
- 1024 MB, 128 bit DDR2
- 800 MHz (effective)
- 12.8 GB/s Memory Bandwidth
I was able to push it to 614Mhz Core / 440Mhz Memory .. yeah, kind of ****ty.. after any of this numbers it will start artifacting.. I also tried increasing the PCIe freq in BIOS from 100 to 110 since I read somewhere it may help, however it didn't do any difference.. what's worst is that for some reason I perceived it would run better at stock speeds than when overclocked.. and as mentioned while playing I wasn't able to notice any improvement at all. Can anyone help me out? BTW it is an EVGA card and I haven't done any voltmodding as i honestly have no idea how to mess with that.. Any help is greatly appreciated.
