How Do I Overclock My Video Card? I've Never Done It

[AVAFREAK182]

How do I do it?

 

[AnotherGuy]

U just dont... that card needs to go to the Can!

Didn't want to be the first to say that...

Here is the least expensive option to overclock it...

I actually have a laptop with Intel 80486DX-50.

Perhaps we could team up and squeeze some extra juice from this one...

wow

5200? thats ancient

 

[CaptainJackSwallows]

just dl atitool or something similiar. i just moved from my ol fx5200 to my 8800gtx.

 

[AVAFREAK182]

Shut up. I know its old. I can't figure it out using Ntune.

Rivatuner should work. There is honestly no point in overclocking a 5200 though.

he has the potential to make it suck more...

It isn't worth the effort.

The easiest way to overclock it with the least effort and waiting time of downloading ntune is simply getting coolbits registry. once you download that install it, takes like a second. Then go to your video card settings and you'll see "frequency"

dont bother my friend =] i have a x1900xt 512mb for sale if you'd like

It may seem kind of harsh, but if you're trying to overclock the FX 5200 for performance reasons, really... don't bother. There's very little you can do to that card to make it worth your time. If it's just to experiment, have a blast.

Assuming it's AGP (I keep an old FX 5200 PCI card to test for bad video cards), try looking around for a used 6600 / 6600GT AGP card. They should be decently cheap. Stay away from anything like the 6200 if you're going to run games though. Like the 5200, it's definately not a 3D-monster.

Everyone STOP. I just got it for a secondary computer.

 

[betasub]

Poor secondary PC, it must've done something terrible in a former life.
