So you got it all overclocked and finished now? How does it perform, can you make out a difference in performance?

Yes, i think im finished now -i got it from 270/400 to 328/475
I see a large different in fps in wings of fury on 3DMark 03 (about 30-40 fps increased in each scene) and in battle of protoxy(or something) im getting about 5-15 fps increase. Overall there is a notable difference about 15-20% in performance and in my doom 3 demo it works flawless in high gfx settings-unlike b4 when it was choppy.

Ok ... now why is that the highest resolution possible?

Im kind of in the same boat as P11. I just put cool bits on this computer and when i put the settings to Performance 3D and detect optimal frequencies I get 271/314. If I try to up any of the clock settings memory or core clock and hit the test button it tells me that the test failed and moves the sliders back down.

Why wouldnt my detect optimal settings be as high as P11's? And why would the tests fail? I have an Identical video card and a bit more computer than he does.

K, so my video card is a eVGA Nvidia Geforce fx 5500 and when i put it to detect optimal settings it detected 304/470. After that i left it like that for 1 day just to break it in. After that i raised the mhz from the core memory 5 mhz at a time but i set my memory to default b4 i did that, so (i started overclocking my core from 304/400,310/400,315/400 etc.) Also dont forget to tick in the box in the overclock menu where is says apply these settings when windows starts.

hope that helps

Mine auto detects to 271/314 (with the performance setting on) and if i try to go to 271/324 and hit the test button it tells me the test failed and puts it back to 271/314.

There must be some setting wrong? I do have the apply these settings check marked.

Are there any other settings I should try? Right now I would be happy with getting it up to the 270/400 that the card was rated at. Any help out there?
