overclocking limits?

[bloodthirst]

on my brother computer he wants me to overclock his nvidia geforce mx4000 128mb core clock freq is at 250mhz and memory at 300 what will be a safe overclocking level where it wont overheat to much, and also cause a bad gaming experience?

good reps for help

It's hit and miss for every different card. What you will need to do is download coolbits, etc. whatever program you wish to use to overclock your card and start rasing your core and mem frequencies in 5mhz increments... Monitor your temps and keep benching it to make sure you aren't getting any artifacts.

The key to a good overclock is slow and steady (wins the race ). As long as you are monitoring temps and benchy performance you will be able to find out what your max OC on that card will be.

ok thanks for that fragtek

i forgot to ask... i have had NVtweek for a while and and looking at it, it looks like i can overclock using the Nvidia driver with that addon... should i just use this or sometihng else?

nVTweak enables the same functions that coolbits does, so go ahead and use that

im using coolbits to overclock my Geforce 4 mx440 128mb ( before i get my 6800 back ) and i reached from 275mhz core and 512mhz memory to 360mhz core and 534mhz memory. and it's stable as hell and no artifacts

Very nice What kind of sick arse benchy scores u get with that monster?

 

[bloodthirst]

should i worry about tempertures cause this card dosent have a temp sensor on it should i put a fan next to it or something

I wouldnt worry about temps... It shouldnt get hot enough to render any extra cooling than what it already has since it's running at stock voltage.

never tried benching it. only tried 3dmark 2001 with it which i heared 80% of it is cpu testing and not vga. got about 7500 with this vga. ( some tests couldn't be done beacuse of Pixel Shader which isn't supported. about 4 tests ).

while playing COD online i get about 80fps constantly and during UT2004 i get about 80FPS constantly and in some small maps about 115FPS. and every game is run 1024x768@full graphics

That's pretty sweet for oldskewlness

yepp must agree

Did you ever work on getting yours overclocked?

 

[bloodthirst]

yeah it worked fine i got the core from 250 up to 325mhz and memory from like 305 to 415 i can go further but we shall see

That's a healthy increase!

 

[bloodthirst]

yeah it sure is
