Excuse for troubling dears dudes).I'have xfx geforce 5500 video card.Standard this 270 - 400 as soon as I raise gives out a mistake (The test failed to run at the selected clock frequencies. Please lower your setting and try again) at any dispersal like 275 -410. Also tried coolbits, riva-tunner, geforce_overclock, last nvidia driver... again this mistake nothing help me. maybe some one here can help whis this thing

I shall be very grateful...
my system amd 2600+
motherbord NF7 abit series"...

The driver tests your hardware's capability to deal with the frequencies that you have selected. I have the same error message when I take it too far. Sometimes, some cards are already clocked to their limit and simply will not take more.

Are you sure your video card can handle overclocking? What kind of cooling system do you have on your card?

kytyzov · 06-16-2005, 10:53 PM

jan i think thats is! Its 5200 overclocked - to 5500 i allready read about this fake!" so i can overclock it only another way

So they sold it and named it a 5500 when actually it's just a 5200 OC?

I have an XFX 5200 128Mb and can overclock it far more than to the speeds of a 5500. In fact it is running now, overclocked an obscene amount. I do have a PCI exhaust up against the side of it though, so it may be temp related.

Sometimes....good cooling can make a huge difference. However, with your card, I would not think it would be worth investing into quite expensive cooling. I would leave the frequencies as they are and be happy it works. Afterall, I do not think the performance increase by overclocking your card would greatly increase.

A 5500 is an OCd 5200
