20% overclock with FX5200 !!!

[Soulkeeper]

this Chaintech Geforce FX5200 128mb card is pretty cool running at 321/420 from the default 250/400 (375 read by powerstrip)
I just wish it had a bit more mem bandwidth
I think that is the only thing holding it back

Basically your system is slower than a crippled snail with arthritus, so that explains the low score.:beer:

Whats the problem???

 

[The Green Bean]

Now I realized my stupidity.....donot laf...The score in his sig is his ti.

But Sum 1 with a p3 800MHZ got a 1500+ score

 

[Sid59]

mmm .. now your 5200 is 20% less crappy.

I upgraded my BIOS and cant use my PS2 mouse what the F***? Im currently on leybord only.
Its an intel d45GEBV2. Its an optical mouse and phusically its working. I.E the light comes. And I dun wanna buy a new USB mouse...

Sorry cudnt go on the rite froum with mouse only....Help plz Hatim

 

[Keysplayr]

Dont want to rub it in or anything but, why did you upgrade a BIOS on a perfectly working Mobo? Or was it?

If it aint broke (everybody say it with me!!) Dont fix it!!!

Anyways, can you flash back to your old BIOS? You did make a backup of your old .bin file right?

If it aint broke dont fix it.

 

[The Green Bean]

Wt do u mean brke?

 

[The Green Bean]

to me it seems the Windows isnt detecting my mouse...Mouse preoperties in the contreol pannel>Its emty.

Windows isnt detecting the mouse as plug and play WTF?

I think its windows cuz the mouse is powered and when my PC startsup, I dun get a mouse error...
How do I fix this? Format?

 

[The Green Bean]

jus bot a new USB mouse....works perfectly...ill miss my old mouse though ....whichll go into my sis's P2

It feels smoother but not as good yet...

 

[BFG10K]

I think that is the only thing holding it back

It's more than that. IIRC the 5200 has only two pixel pipelines and it has abysmal shader performance too.

Woohoo! Now you have gone from the slowest DX9 card ever to... the slowest DX9 card ever. To the max!

Wasn't there an SiS Xabre DX9 card released before the Radeon 9700? AFAIK that would take the slowest DX9 card crown.

 

[Mingon]

the 9600se is pretty crippled

I would hold off on calling the 5200 a 'DX 9 card'. I read it supported only minimum DirectX 9 requirements, and that DX9 support in that card is crippled (he-he) when compared even to the FX5600, not speaking of the Radeons. Add that to extra slow speed and well... You get the pixor. However, if you think your 5200 is slow don't throw it away, it isn't if you compare it to the 64-bit wide memory bus variety of the 5200 chip which now go for under $50 and they do indeed perform like crap. Gotta look on the box just not to buy that crap by accident, LOL.

 

[The Green Bean]

So mine is the 2 pipeling 64 bit shi!? Creative says its 128 bits...I got ripped off

You really should compare your benchmark scores to others with similar systems, and pay no attention to those that say your system is slow. It is indeed fast enough to run any game out now. Maybe post your own thread about it.

 

[Washuu]

on my other computer, the highest i managed on the 5200 was 800 for 3dmark03, heh...
i love my ti4600 on this piece, good precious card

Well, at least your bandwidth is up to 6720mb/s now, a gain of 320mb/s!

Like others said it's probably other things holding the card back..

I cant even play genrals at an FPS above 32 t all times....slow later in the game
