Just a few hours ago I decided to download EVGA PrecisionX and overclock this old card I have in my current desktop while my laptop is down for repairs..
This is the first card I've ever Overclocked..
I originally worked in increments of 25 MHz which was a big mistake (and learning moment) but went back, first in 6's, then in 3's.
PNY 512MB GeForce 8400 GS:
•
Core Clock: 567 MHz
Memory Clock: 330 MHz
•
FINAL Overclock
Core Clock: 700 MHz
Memory Clock: 650 MHz
I reached the "max" stability at 698/648 respectively but decided to round up.
I've noticed a 15-20FPS increase in Minecraft, and Runescape runs smoothly on high for once.. I'm hoping to test this out with a few other low-intensity games soon.
Temperature increases about 15°C under load (highest temp is 73°C) and the Voltage was not increased.
Still scraping money together for my budget build
